6 ' THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY,. NOVEMBER 13, 1914. Announcement to the Portland Public I HAVE been in business in Portland for ten years. I have conducted my business on a high plane Have built up a great business have made some mis takes and had some costly experiences. I am now face to face with the hardest situation in my business career. My lease expires on this store, in which I have done business for so many years, on Feb. 1,1915. ,1 have been notified that my rent will be advanced 30 per cent. It is out of the ques tion for me to consider any advance, in view of the depressed business conditions. , We do not wish to even think of quitting business and will not consider such action if we can secure a good location adequate to our needs and at a rental value a legitimate business can afford to pay. If we cannot become locat ed over again the time is short to make the best of it and relieve ourselves of this heavy stock. Consequently we have but 64 business days in which to dispose of our brand new $100,000 stock of Men's and Women's finest "Ready-f or-Service" Clothes. To accomplish this will require great effort and sac rifice of profit many articles will be sold at actual cost. However, the Portland public will benefit thereby. At this season, when the new styles and heavier materials are in demand, a sale of this kind means a terrific saving on .everything necessary for the new wardrobe. This Great Sale Will Start Saturday Morning, November 14 and will include every Chesterfield : Suit and Overcoat; entire stock of Men's Fine Furnishings; Knox and Knapp Felt Hats, Ladies' Fine Suits, Dresses, Gowns and Coats.

SEWER OLD WORRY Fop 20 Years Tanner Creek ; Line Has Annoyed Officials. REPAIR TO COST $239,000 BeTeral Accidents Charged Up- to Bij . Drain, and Follow ing One of These City Engineers lost Posts for Negligence. That It is but a matter of a Bhort time before the Tanner Creek trunk newer, which has been the source of endless trouble and expense to the city lor the last 20 years, Trill have to be reconstructed in part at an expense of from $175,000 to $240,000, is the opinion of experts of the city engineering serv ice, who, with Ralph Modjeski, an engi neer of Chicago, have made a detailed survey of the big main. The line is found to be on the verge of collapse at many points, from Wash ington and Lownsdale streets west to the river where it empties. The sewer drains the largest section of the West Bide, being one of the largst trunk sewers ever built by. the city. It is about six feet In diameter. The work was done in three units. the firsts of which was built. In 1887 and the last in 1891. Since that time it has been responsible for some acci dents and a big scandal resulting in i shakeup in the city service and con siderable litigation. - In 1904 the sewer collapsed near the Multnomah Athletic Club campus and flooded a large part of the West Side. For a long time city employes worked night and day repairing the pipe so that the flooded district could be drained. Official Heads Come Off. It was found that the portion of the big pipe under the athletic field was in bad condition and a contract was let to E. M. Ringer & Son, contractors, to reconstruct and repair the sewer in the section from Lownsdale and washing ton streets westerly. The contract-In volved 133.296. When the work was completed It was found that the work had been don Improperly, the lob having been slight ed until the sewer was almost as bad as before the work was started. This led to a Councllmanic investigation during the administration of Mayor Williams. The investigation caused the dismissal of City Engineer Elliott and Chief Deputy City Engineer Scroggins, on the ground that they had a part in a general conspiracy to slight the work The companies which furnished the bonds for the contractors were required to finish the work. It was done unde the direction of Charles Wanser, who was appointed City Engineer to auo ceed Mr. Elliott. From time to time the sewer 1 Washington street to the river, which section was not involved in the recon struction contract and the scandal, has given trouble. At present it is reported to be in a dangerous condition. Should it collapse .there might be a repetition of the flood of 1904. Addition Causes Complications. - Several years ago an addition to the sewer was built in the western pari. oi the city. This extended back into the Sylvan alstrictt'y'An assessment of costs was distributeaatiyhen the worn was finished over a 'vast territory, includ ing the Sylvan district, which was then part of the city. When this was done the State Supreme Court ruled that the Sylvan district was not a part of the city and a reassessment was necessary. The assessment has been made but never adopted by the Council. The proposition is still pending, with the prospect of the whole thing being taken into the courts when the new assess ment plan is presented involving the question of expenditures made for im provements outside the city. Although it is reported that the sewer Is liable to collapse . at any time, the City Council so far has passed by the proposition or repairs, commissioner Dieck asked in the budget, this year for an appropriation to cover the cost of some repairs, but the item was elimi nated. In a comprehensive report. covering the condition of the sewer, it s estimated that reconstruction or tne big pipe from Washington and LownS' dale streets to the river would cost ap proximately $239,000.
