which ordinarily retails at ?1.50, for a
dollar. 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.

Women Jurors Excused.
MONTHS ANO, Wash., Sept. 22. (Spe.
clal.) Judge Ben Speeks established
a. precedent here by excusing all wom
en Jurors from serving in the case
against L. A. Richardson, who was
found guilty today of assault in the
second degree against a 7-year-old
child. The Judge says unless the Su

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.
Lincoln Pavies, 743 Greenwood ave
nue, a graduate of Washington High
School, is not engaged to Miss Frances
Hawk e. of Vancouver, B. C., as was an
nounced yesterday. Mr. Davies said
yesterday that he knows no girl by
that name, and is not engaged to any
one. The announcement, which was
made from the office of the Lens, the
Washington High School publication,
and on stationery of that publication,
is someone's conception of a practlcl
joke, ccording to Mr. Davies.
The written announcement of the en
gagement, which was supposed to have
come from Mr. Davies, was repudiated
by him yesterday, and he d3ed that he
knew nothing of it. "Someone with a
dilapidated sense of humor is trying
to play a joke on me, said Mr. Davies.
The Oregonian will offer a suitable
reward for proof as to the identity of
the contributor of the announcement.

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.
