Their Variety and Beauty Unsurpassed
And Prices Moderate-$6.50 to $15
Words of praise are heard on every side regarding our collection of modish Blouses

during past seasons, yet there's a certain simplicity of line that is most attractive.
The materials without exception are soft and clinging satins, fancy striped crepes,
lace, Georgette crepe and dozens of lovely combinations. Vest effects, the flared col
lar, motifs, artistic touches here and there, tend to make this assortment of waists
distinctive. There's a decided basque, and the greatly modified basque effects are
found, for wear outside the skirt. High or low necks, and long sleeves many trans

collapse: of jeffersos-street

Dock Commission Permits Storage of
Salmon at City Wharves New
Warehouse Planned.
Fearing- that the old Jefferson-street
Jevee Is in danger of collapse the Com
mission of Public Docks has awarded
a contract to the Atlas Wrecking Com
pany for Its removal. The sum to be
paid is $750. While at a previous
meeting? the Commissioners deemed
more than half of that amount exces
sive for the work, the condition of the
structure prompted them' to take action
ut a special meeting yesterday.
Offerings of Alaska canned salmon
are such that the tariff governing the
handling of freight on municipal docks
has been amended so that the
Commission will accept salmon and
allow it to remain in warehouse for
six months at 50 cents a ton. If moved
In 3J days the only charge will be 25
cents a ton and for the following 20
days It will be 20 cents and 5 cents
extra charged for over SO days, with
20 cents a ton a month applying after
six rnontns.
As no bids were received Monday
for 150,000 of bonds of the Commis
sion of Public Docks, to facilitate the
construction of a warehouse in the rear
of Municipal Dock No. 1, the Commis
sion has decided to dispose of city im
provement Don as in the sura of $50,500
drawing 6 per cent, purchased and
made part of a sinking fund, and re
place, them with Its own bonds. City
Attorney LaRoche contends that such
a change could be made legally. As
soon as It Is known that the bonds
can be sold work on the warehouse
will proceed.
GARBAGE DUMP SURVEY ON
City Would Learn Cost of Filing
Refuse in Marqoam Gulcb.
Preparatory to the establishment In
the Fall of a municipal garbage dump
in Marquam Gulch, In South Portland,
City Commissioner Daly said yester
day he has ordered a survey made to
determine the cost of the plan. As
soon as the survey is finished he says
steps will be taken to establish the
system.
It is proposed, to relieve the strain
on the incinerator at Guild Lake by
dumping large quantities of garbage of
all kinds in the gulch. The refuse
will be covered with dirt occasionally.
The dumping system has been a suc
cess in Seattle, It Is said, having been
tried in some of the best residence sec
tions there.

to the Courthouse to receive it.. Stewart
broke into the window of the Lion
Clothing Company, Fourth and Mor
rison streets, last May and stole shoes

Attorney Hammersly prosecuted the
case.
LEAVITT SYSTEM FAILS
M'CREDIH GETS ADVICE, BUT EE
DOES XT HEED IT.
Nor Does Be Need It, as Oakland Sadly
Found Oat When She Lost Seven
of Eight Games.
BT RALPH J. BTAEHLL
It often has been demonstrated that
system plays a big part in business.
In fact, in this day and age a fruit
stand can't be run methodically and
profitably without a card index and a
filing system, an expense manager, and
a traffic manager.
System even goes to baseball. It's
system that makes the winning teams.
At least so says Frank Leavltt, owner
of the Oaks, the team which consist
ently decorates the bottom rung of the
Coast League ladder.
. But on the face of things. It looks
much as if Leavitt's system is about as
dependable as the system of a race
track tout, as shown by the following
tale which leaked' from the Portland
players:
When Portland went to Oakland for
a week's series, .Oakland stood near
the too and Portland stood la
Even Leavltt came around and declared
that with the men Walter had he
should have held a more dignified posi
tion in the league.
"Walter," said Leavltt, "what's wrong
with your team?"
"Just no luck, I guess," said Walter,
digging the dirt with the end of a bat,
much to the chagrin of Leavltt. who
is inordinately proud of the sod on the
field.
"Why, don't you know," continued
Leavltt. "you lack 'system. Now,
somewhere In your machine there is a
cog not working right. A man needs
pulling out. Study It methoaicany.
"Thafs .all right, but It don't go,"
said McCredie. "I'm going to take a
chance on the team the way it is."
And that week what Portland did not
do to Oakland Is something which has
not even occurred to the warring lead
ers of Europe. Oakland lost seven of
eight games.
Now Portland is in first and Oak
land Is on the other end. but for some
reason Leavitt's science and system has
failed to get the team any further
than the cellar. All he needs is about
nine new cogs and a team.
HEALTH ORDER IS STRICT
Mount Scott Pupils Must Be Vac
cinated or Leave School.
Vaccination was continued yesterday
by school inspectors of the City Health
Department at the four schools In the
Mount Scott district, where compulsory
vaccination or retirement from school
for two weeks has been ordered as a
health precaution.'
Although there has been considerable
complaint against the order. City
Health Officer Maresllus says that it
will be carried out. He says it-would
be unsafe to open the schools while
cases of smaUpox exist, unless all chil
dren are vaccinated. A full report of
conditions in the district was made by
Dr. Marcellus yesterday to Mayor
Albee.

RUSSIANS ARE UNITED
FORMER PORTLAND MAN TELLS OF
CONDITIONS IN PETROGRAD.
Dr. W. D. Carlyle, In Letter to Mother,
Says Americana la Russia Are Safe,
but Cant Get Away.
Americans in Petrograd are safe and
will make their return to. the United
States by way of Sweden and Hngland.
according to Dr. W. D. Carlyle, for
merly of Portland, dentist in the Im
perial Court of the Czar, who writes to
his mother, Mrs. L, A. Carlyle. in this
city. Even in the heart of Russia Dr.
Carlyle misses The Oregonlan and re
quests that a copy of it be sent to him.
Dr. Carlyle has been in Russia for
seven years, but returned to Portland
on a visit three years ago. The letter
was dated August 7. Extracts follow:
"Have sent you two postals lately to
let you know we are quite safe and
there is no need to worry, although
we are right in all the excitement and
trouble of the largest war In the his
tory of the world. We are at Dr. B.'s,
one and one-half hours by rail from
St- Petersburg. Now that England
has declared war on Germany there is
no fear of invasion by German troops.
Should they come, they would land
right here and try to take St. Peters
burg, which they could never do.
"Fort Cronstadt is 10 miles out in the
gulf, nearly opposite .us, and at night
it is a wonderful sight to see the
searchlights from the different war
ships scattered along the Gulf of Fin
land as far as one can see. ... The
opinion here is that the Germans are
fighting In a more barbarous way than
the Turks ever did.
"All the fine carriage horses of pri
vate people here are being taken for
war purposes, but all are united
against the Germans. Russia is solid
to a man and it has an army here of
1.500.000. President Wilson's peace
efforts are disliked here.
"Every day there are parades of from
20,000 to 30.000 patriotic people.
"Wish you would send me an Ore
gonlan when there is a good descriptive
account of any of the big battles.
"There are many American and other
tourists in St. Petersburg who can't
get out yet. but will soon be able to go
out by way of Sweden and England."
