BENEFITS ARE POINTED OUT
Offering of X. nu sua 1 Bargains Is
Expected to Be Bijj Aid to Small
Dealer in Obtaining and
Retaining More Trade.
With only a few days, remaiuiss
until the dawn of the big trading DoU
lar day, the merchants of the city are
beginning to realize that any firm, that
stays out of the move will miss a
comfortable jinjcle in his cash register,
and yesterday they were beginning to
start the final rush to get in under the
biff tent.
Secretary V. E. Conkling put in the
most of the day registering the names
of firms that are to take part.
The committees that have been at
work have been composed of business
men and women who were willing- to
expend a few days explaining Dollar
day to other merchants, but they are
people who are alive to what the
event will do for them in getting new
customers, etc., and they must devote
their time to getting their own stores
ready," announced Mr. Conkling.
I. tuts Will Close Saturday.
"It is proposed to begin advertising
all names of participants in Sunday
papers, and the copy must be ready for
submission not later than Saturday
noon. Any merchant who desires to get
in should take immediate action.
"There is every desire on our part
to have every merchant participate.
The only thing is that we do not have
the time to call on them at their stores.
"There is every reason why every
merchant should get into this Dollar
day game.
"That is especially true of the small
merchant that is, small as compared
with the department store man.
I.lttle Merchant to BcneBt.
"Dollar day will help the little fellow
immensely. It has done it everywhere
that Dollar day has been carried out.
It gets new customers into his store
to see the bargains he advertises for
that day, and if he is the right kind
of a business man he will keep them
coming back."
Dollar day in Portland next Thurs
day is to be the right kind of a shop
ping tour.
Every merchant out of the 600 or 800
who will take part is making ready to
offer unusual bargains for $1. In every
instance it will mean the selling of
an article of much greater value
than ?1.
Bis Suburban Trade Expected.
And there is every indication that
the shoppers of Portland and the sub
urban trade district which is served by
Portland merchants will be ready for
the day.
Some of the merchants who offer
alluring bargains will be cleaned out
before night.
"Please emphasize the fact that we
want every merchant in town to get
into the game." said Charles F. Berg,
general chairman of the Dollar day
committee. "Tell them to send down to
the Chamber for a red pennant and
throw it to the breeze. The sooner they
get them out the better, and the more
business they will do."
BOISE SCORES FERRIS BILL
Club Asks Mining Congress to Help
In Fight for State Control.
BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 16. (Special.)
.Declaring most vigorously for state
control of natural resources, and pro
testing strongly against the passage of
the Ferris water-power bill, the direct
ors of the Commercial Club of this city,
in resolutions adopted today, instructed
its special representative, J. B. Eldredge.
to present a plea for co-operation to
the American Mining Congress, which
convenes at San Francisco.
"We are convinced that it is the duty
of every public or semi-public body in
the State of Idaho to protest vigorously
against the passage in the United States
Senate of the Ferris water-power bill,
vesting control of water-power sites
and resources in the Federal Govern
ment bureau, the Interior Department,"
fay the resolutions.
"The principle which backs the fur
therance of this character of legisla
tion is un-American. Its adoption
means oppression of the "West and
tyrannical forcing of Injurious and
harmful bureaucratic rule upon us by
the Eastern and Southern States."
WOMAN, HURT, GETS $7100
Southern Pacific Ordered to Pay for
Injuries in AY reck.
OREGOX CITY. Or., Sept. 16. (Spe
rial.) A verdict for $7100 was returned
for Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Dillow and
against the Southern Pacific Company
by a jury in the District Court today,
after an hour's deliberation. Mrs. Dil
low sued for $30,000.
The case opened Wednesday after
noon and went to the jury at noon to
day. The railroad company at the open
ing of the trial admitted liability, and
the only point of contention was the
extent of Mrs. Dillow's injuries. Physi
cians from Portland and Oregon City
were the principal witnesses.
Mrs. Dillow was injured April 18,
when a car in which she was riding
collided with an electric locomotive on
the Willamette Falls line of the South
ern Pacific, across the Willamette from
Oregon City.
