I believe that this store will clean out its stock on that bargain on Dollar day, which will represent con siderably more thar J10II0 in that ar ticle alone and in a single store. Vniit Banineai Expected. "From such things as these can be forecast the tremendous scope of Dol lar day's activity, and the vast amount of money that will be put into circula tion in the three or four hundred stores of the city that are participating. "The bigger stores are especially prepared to give their customers an infinite variety of bargains, but the small stores are also going into the work with zeal and enthusiasm. "What all of us want, and what Dol lar day was originated for, was to get the people of Portland to realize what Portland stores can give them, to look over our stocks and to discover for themselves that they can spend their money more advantageously at ' home than anywhere else. "Wholesale houses have co-operated magnificently with the retailers in preparation for Dollar day, and as a re sult it has been made possible for many bargains to be offered to the citizens which never have been possible at any previous time, and probably will never be possible again, unless another spe cial occasion such as this arises" Rural Bayer Kaiser. Hundreds of people from rural dis tricts and from cities outside of Port land are preparing to come in today to take advantage of dollar sales, and the general committee has appointed sub-committees of men from the Cham ber of Commerce, to be on duty at the the depots and to assist visitors with information and personal direction so that they may be able to do their chopping with the utmost dispatch and ease. Hundreds of the Dollar-day pennants have been distributed among the mer chants of the city and wherever these pennants are, there also are the bar gains to be found. Window dressers exerted their high est arts yesterday in building up won derful displays of Dollar-day bargains, and the opportunities for pleasant window shopping expeditions were bet ter than ever before, with the possible exception of the Christmas holiday sea son.' .' - - ' Crowd Study Window. And the crowds took advantage of the opportunity. Throughout the even ing yesterday, crowds of window shop pers were drifting throughout the busi ness sections of the city studying the offerings of the Dollar-day sales, and making their plans for the onslaught upon the retail merchants that is to be gin this morning. The Dollar day, in Portland, is the first event of its kind that has ever been held in the Northwest, and its ef feet is expected to be felt throughout all of the trade territory immediately tributary to this city. The committees of workers, that have assisted in the preparations for the day, will be rewarded with a theater party at the Kaker tonight, under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce retail merchants' bureau.

Twice a day is enough to work with knife and fork. You can get drunk on too much food as well as on liquor. 'Fletcher lived on 11 cents a day by chewing his food to a liquid. Put figs and raisins in "daddy's" dinnerpail and he will come home at night feeling glorious. The more you chew your meat, the less taste it has; the more you chew your starch, the more taste it has. Learn this lesson. The laboring man needs a steady fire to keep him in steam, when he is working. The busi ness or professional man only needs a fire of kindling wood and paper, which are the fats and carbohydrates. -! Women Jurors Excused. MONTHS ANO, Wash., Sept. 22. (Spe. clal.)

Richardson, who was found guilty today of assault in the second degree against a 7-year-old child. The Judge says unless the Su preme Court sliull rule differently his court hereafter will not ask mixed Jurle to be&c uclx pane, The fact that W. E. Flynn. who is conducting the great health Chautau qua at the Eleventh-street Theater, is turning hundreds away every night snows that the people of Portland are eager for and taking advantage of this chance to get a health education free. Flynn's subject for last night wa "Foods for the Laboring Man. Profes sional Man. Mother and Child. "When you talk to the average per son about foods you must talk in the language of 100 years ago If you would be understood," said Mr. Flynn, "such as meat, potatoes, bread, pie, cake candy, sugar, salt, pepper, vinegar, etc. The Investigations of scientists in the past few years has necessitated a new vocabulary in talking foods. The word salts is practically a new word, .and its meanings are vague to the average person, and they probably would confound it with table salt. Their vital relation to the maintenance of health must be little known or under stood or the unscrupulous manufactur ers could not rob so many foods of these elements that are consumed every day." Professor Flynn told his audience to insist on the grocer furnishing unpol ished rice or whole rice, as the polished rise has been robbed of Its salt. "The United States has forbid the use of rise in the Philippines," he said "as the authorities have traced innu merable diseases to its use. Watch out for the bread counter, and forget the white bread, as that has also been robbed of its salt. Kat whole wheat bread in its place, if you expect to stay here and enjoy this Poitland climate." Tonight at 8 o'clock Mr. Flynn wil. give his lecture that all Portland has been waiting for, "Nerves in Order and Nerves Out of Order, Applied "sicology.' or How Cures Are Made." These lec tures are free to all. ENGAGEMENT IS DENIED Lincoln Da vies Says Report Some one's Idea of Joke.

Mr. Davies said yesterday that he knows no girl by that name, and is not engaged to any one.

She has endeared herself to Portland folic. eratlon," is one which has caused much comment In Portland tnU week. Hot not alone by her singing, but by the spirit in which she has sung.

Hardest and Lonjrest Kljrht in Annals of Portland College Com Down in History W hen Firt-Year Men Are Defeated. After 13 minutes of continuous tug ging and straining of every muscle in their bodies, the freshman tug-of-war team dragged the sophoomres through the cold and slimy waters of Crystal Springs Lake in the hardest and long est tug-of-war ever recorded in the annals of Reed College yestorday.- On the intant President Foster fired the starting gun both teams settled back on their ropes and held with all their might. Both seemed loath to take the offensive. For half a minute both sides held. Then Alvln Shogren. count ing for the sophomores, began to give the slow, even "One, two. three. Pull:" Like rowers in a boat, the sophomores began to sway backward in a strong, even pull. The freshmen began to give. Professor Hastings, their coach, started to count. They rallied and held. First one side would gain a few inches and then the other would pull it back. It looked like a deadlock. The crowds cheered frantically. The freshmen began to weaken. Foot by foot they slipped toward the water. They were bending forward twisting to the side and getting confused. They lost 15 feet It looked as though the free bath would surely be theirs- Then Coach Hastings rushed up tile line shouting every man Into his pln.ee, or dering each to settle down close to the ground and hold. Their hands slipped and they nut the rope under their arms and gripped it until their arm-pits hurt but they held. The Sophomore drive was stopped. Then both sides held and waited for breath and the strength to get a new grip. Finally, the freshmen rallied and tore at tho rope until they re couped the loss. Another hold and a. short sophomore rally: The boys had now been at it for 12 minutes and were almost exhausted. The hard, driving pu'ls that the sophomores had made began to tell on thorn. Slowly the. "frcsjhies" began to pull in th line. Littl-e Carl Rochet, the first "soph," fought the water with all his might, but finally the bank gave way r.nd he slipped in. Slowly five others followed him. Then' the sophomores on ihe back end of the line made a final stand. In spite of the fact that they verc al ready on the muddy edge, they settled down in a writhing knot at the end of the rope. The freshmen were so nearly exhausted that they were stopped for a minute. Then, finally, taking a last brace, they hurled the last "sophs" into th water. Those who couldn't swim held onto thie rope and were towed across. The two teams were almost even in weight, the sophomores aevraging 148 pounds to the man one pound heavier than the average freshman at 147.
