An Open Letter About
My Change of Plans
Last March I announced an important Eemoval Sale, and held a
most successful one. Although I am sure all those who took ad
vantage of that sale appreciated the GENUINE BARGAINS I gave,
yet I owe an explanation to the public for not removing. To show
I acted in good faith I will state the following :-
When I announced the above stated Removal Sale I was com
pelled to pay $300 a month rental for my store. After repeated
efforts with the landlord failed to get the high rent reduced, I had
no other recourse but to remove. THE FACT is, I could not afford
to pay such an enormous rent and give my patrons the value they
expected and deserved. I notified the landlord that I would vacate
the store on expiration of my lease, and held a bona fide removal
sale. Since then the landlord reconsidered the matter. He realized
that the large number of vacant stores signified that merchants
could not afford to pay such- high rents. My landlord preferred
a steady high-grade custom tailoring establishment to eating houses
and undesirable tenants, so he made a very appreciative concession
to me a saving of nearly $1800 a year. I immediately accepted his
proposition and signed a new long-term lease. I have entirely re
modeled the store, and now take pleasure in announcing the opening.

Special Announcement
Grand Opening Week
To mark the opening of my newly remodeled store, for this week
only, I will give your choice of any material in the store suits or
overcoats at a DISCOUNT OF 25 PER CENT, or if you prefer an
extra pair of any price trousers FREE OF CHARGE.
Every web of cloth bears the regular price in plain figures. Any
piece is yours at a discount of 25 per cent, or an extra pair of
trousers of same or any other material absolutely FREE. $9 is the
lowest price I charge for trousers you can take your pick of any
value in the store.
I take pride in my up-to-the-minute custom tailoring establish
ment, and know right well my patrons will also be proud of Port
land's BEST tailoring house. k My efforts during the past three
months to collect a superior assortment of imported and domestic
woolens have been crowned with success. Being a big cash .buyer
I am able to give my patrons exceptionally good value. My patrons
get first-class woolens for the price other stores charge for third
class fabrics.' Cash, knowledge of fabrics and low rent are the
great factors in value giving. All garments are cut by me per
sonally, and they are made on the premises under my personal super
vision. The name MAXWELL implies ability, integrity and crafts
manship in the building of gentlemen's clothes. This is well borne
out in the FACT that thousands of representative men in Oregon
and Washington testify by their constant patronage.
You get the HIGHEST GRADE workmanship, GUARANTEED
material and PERFECT fit.
THIS SPECIAL OPENING SALE commences this morning at 8
o'clock. Even if you do not require clothing for a month or two yet,
visit our store and select from the best goods the latest Fall and
Winter patterns.
Thanking you for past patronage, and promising, as in the past,
to give the BEST clothing value in Portland, believe me, ever yours,
. ... MAXWELL, THE TAILOR.

BOYS DIE OF GOLD
Bodies of Shattuck, Oliver and
Linscott Found.
HUNT FOR CABIN IN VAIN
Searching Party Passes Over Forms
Many Times Before Discovered.
Shoes Worn Out In Strug
gle Over Rocks.
JUNEAU, Alaska, Sept. 13. Evidence
of terrible suffering was ' brought to
light with the finding yesterday of
the bodies of John W. Shattuck. Leslie
Oliver and Adelbert Linscott, the three
youths who left Juneau on a hunting
expedition a week ago. and perished
on Sheep Creek Mountain of cold and
hunger.
Oliver's body was found near the
summit of the mountain.
Three hundred yards nearer a dlvld
Jng ridge lay .Slttuck and Linscott,
Sliattuck's head pillowed on his com
panion's body.
These two had eaten paper from ex
ploded shotgun shells and grass roots
torn from the mountain side In a vain
effort to stave off starvation. o
matches or loaded cartridges were
found on the clothes of the dead hunt
ers.
The features of the three dead boys,
who Drobablv died last Sunday night,
were deeply seamed with suffering. It
is believed they descended the slope of
the mountain and wandered through
the flats, where a running stream
could have been followed to salt water
and safety, but becoming discouraged
they probably retraced their steps in
an effort to reach a cabin where they
could seek shelter.
The bodies will be sent south on the
steamer Jefferson, sailing for Seattle
tomorrow, that of Shattuck going to
lire sham. Or.. Linscott to Seattle and
Oliver to Portland. Or.
Although the body of Oliver waa in
plain sight from the crests and ridges.
the searchers must have passed and
re-passed it many times. The boy's
shoes were worn through by the rocks
in his struggle to reach the summit.
In his hand was a pistol and by his
side a shotgun.
The hundred men of the search par
ties, after the discovery of Oliver's
body, concentrated their efforts In the
neighborhood where it was found, and
finally, after seven hours, came upon
the bodies of Shattuck and Linscott
only a quarter of a mile distant. The
bodies were brought to Juneau.
John W. Shattuck was 21 years old,
a graduate of the University of Ore
gon and prominent In college ath
letics. He was living with his broth
er, a banker of Juneau.
Linscott was 20 years old and a
resident of Pouglas. The hunters set
out without blankets or provisions, and
were unfamiliar with the country. Soon
after their departure Sheep Creek
Mountain was enveloped by a dense
fog. and when they did not return at
night steps were taken to Tescue them.
BURIAL- TO BE IN PORTLAND
Body ot Unfortunate Youth to Ar
rive Some Time Next Week.
The body of John Wesley Shattuck.
Jr.. will probably arrive for burial in
Portland some time next week. A
message was sent yesterday to Henry
Shattuck. a brother of the dead boy
at Juneau, Alaska, Instructing him to
make arrangements Immediately for
sending the body to Portland. It Is
thought that Henry Shattuck will ac
company the body to Seattle, where
Portland relatives will be awaiting the
sad arrival.
Besides his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
John W. Shattuck, Sr., who have been
residing for the last two or three years
with their daughter, Mrs. F. A. Short,
at 600 East Eighth street, the dead
boy is survived by the following sis
ters and brothers: Mrs. I A. Short,
600 East Eighth' street; Mrs. Edward
E. Sleret, 784 Division street: Henry
Shattuck, a banker and merchant of
Juneau, Alaska: Allen Shattuck, a drug'
gist of Juneau, Alaska; Carl Shattuck
and Louis Shattuck, both merchants
of Gresham, and Dudley Shattuck and
Bates Shattuck, who operate agen-
eral merchandise store at Maupin,
town on the new Deschutes Hallway.
The parents of the boy, who were
hopeful of his escape from death until
the final news was received yesterday,
are nearly prostrated with grief.
John Shattuck graduated from the
grammar grades and the high school
In Gresham. Multnomah County, in
September, 1908. and then entered the
University of Oregon, from which in
stitution he graduated with honors
last June. He majored under Profes
sor F. G. Toung in the economics de
partment.
Shattuck was popular on the Eugene
campus and was prominent in many
lines of university activity. He was
a member of the mandolin club for
two years, played a leading role In
"She Stoops to Conquer." the senior
play staged by the 1912 class last
Spring, and was a member of the var
sity tennis team, which met the team
from the Multnomah Amateur Athletic
Club In May.
He was a charter member of the
Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity at Eu
gene, and was a dependable player on
each of the athletic teams entered by
the rlJIs in the interfraternity games
neid throughout the collegiate year.
His fraternity brothers and hundreds
of friends in Portland feel keenly his
untimely death.

TODD, LISTER HIGH
Count of 5778 Democratic
Votes Continues All Night.
WASHINGTON WOMEN LOSE
Mrs. Preston Carries Nearly Every
County but King Gives 5000 Votes
Against Her Mrs. Tamblin
Cut Because of Initials.
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 13. The
Auditor of King County today com
pleted the count of the Republican
votes cast in last Wednesday's pri
mary, and began -the count ot the 6778
Democratic votes. Work is being con
tinued throughout the night, and it is
hoped that it will be completed tomor
row. From the scattering returns re
ceived from all parts of the state the
following ist of probable nominees has
been compiled:
Governor, Hugh C. Todd, of Seattle,
or Ernest Lister, of Tacoma.
Lieutenant-Governor, Harry H. Col
lier, of Tacoma.
Secretary of State, George E. Ryan,
of Seattle.
Treasurer, Louis Gilbert, of Seattle.
Auditor, George K. Stephenson, of
Toppenlsh.
Attorney-General. William C. Jones,
of Spokane.
Commissioner of Public Lands, Albert
Schooley, of Cbehalis.
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
miss Mary A. Monroe, of Spokane.
Insurance Commissioner, Jesse F.
Murphy, of Seattle.
Representative In Congress, First
District, Charles G. Heifner. of Seattle
Second, Charles Drury, of Tacoma:
Tmrd, Roscoe Drumheller. of Spokane
at large, E. O. Connor, of Spokane and
Henry v bite, of Bellingham.
The developments of today were un
favorable to the women candidates on
the Republican ticket. Mrs. Josephine
Preston, of Walla Walla, candidate for
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
carried nearly every county In the state
over A. S. Burrows, but it is doubtful if
the smaller counties of the state can
overcome the 6000 majority which King
County gave to Burrows.
Mrs. Maud H. Tamblin and Miss Leola
May Blinn are apparently out of the
Republican race for Commissioner of
Public Lands. Mrs. Tamblln's name
went on tne ticKet as M. H. Tamblin.'
and it is thought that this lost her the
votes ol many women, who concentrat
ed on Miss Blin, her name being print
ed in full.

Foster-Motlier Said to Have Been
Strict and Outsiders Counselled
Child to Leave Note
Tells of Safety.
That officious but well-meaning
neighbors are hiding Edna Hislop, 13,
who has been missing from her home,
605 Rodney avenue several days, is the
belief of Detective Hawley, who is in
vestigatlng the disappearance. He
bases his conclusion upon facts that
have come to his possession, principal
of which is that the child has been se
verely disciplined by her foster-mother
and that the neighborhood, took the
child's Dart.
Just before the girl dropped out of
sight there had been trouble and the
foster-mother, who is tne girls aunt.
attempted to punish her. She says that
the child flew upon her ana KicKea ner
so severely that she ran from the
house, telline Edna that she would
wait until the father came home. When
she returned the girl was gone.
That night a young man was seen to
slip a note under the door. In Edna's
handwriting, telling her mother not
to worry, that she was in good hands.
A description of this youth is in the
hands of the detectives and he is being
sought, in the belief that he can lead
them to the hiding place.
Because neighbors have inveighed
aeainst the severity used in disciplin
ing the child and have counselled her
to leave, it is believed that . some of
them have taken her In.
