IT
LADIES of OREGON, ATTENTIOI
300 Full-Size Patterns Cloth for a Ladles' Tailor-Made Suit, Will Be Given Away Free to Let You Know We Are Living and in Oregon Too Continue. It's Interesting
Beginning tomorrow Monday morning at 8 o'clock, with each gentleman's suit purchased of us, we will give free of
charge full-size pattern of cloth for one ladies tailor-made suit, until 300 selections have been made. They may last two,
three or four days, but hardly much more for this is very fine cloth and ordinary dress goods seem like rags in comparison.
It would cost you from $10.00 to $12.00 to buy these tailor-made suit patterns. LADIES this is done as an advertisement
and you can be sure we are not going to put out any worthless goods. No, indeed I We warrant without qualification EVERY
INCH OF CLOTH TO BE ALL-WOOL. You can make it yourself have your tailors make it, or we will make It for you,
but these ladies' tailor cloths are such as you would have to pay $25.00 to $30.00 per finished suit. Now, if your husband,
brothers or gentlemen friends expect to get any clothing this Spring speak to them, about this. You might just as well have
one of these fine dresses a costume stylish, will wear for years and still look well. You can thus get one FREE AS AIR. We
will not confine you to one or two styles, but you will be shown ACTUALLY SHOWN HUNDREDS from which to select.
You will see what you want here's a few of them soft-finished serges, in blue, gray, brown, tan, etc., etc., worsteds,
cheviots in checks; stripes, plain blue and blacks, clay worsteds, oxfords, mohairs, etc., etc., in fact, anything you want. All
cloth will be thoroughly sponged or shrunk FREE OF CHARGE. Our usual charge is 50c per pattern. AND THE MEN'S
SUITS-AREN'T THEY REASONABLE? JUST LOOK AT THE PRICES below; and UNION TAILORS to do
the work is a pretty stiff guarantee that the work is good, for union tailors are good workers, but they know it, and, there
fore, demand good pay they get it and then we demand good work and we get it or you get it instead, is better.
NOW, LOOK AT THIS, LADIES Walking, or rain skirts, free, as follows : We have had manufactured for us
some styles of cloth which experience has taught us are the only styles of weave that are proof against bagging-at-the-knee.
It is not commonly known, but is a double-worsted, flexible-weave cloth. They are unbagable with each pair of them we
will give FREE OF CHARGE cloth for a ladies' walking or rainy-day skirt. These offers are great, aren't they? Never
heard of such a thing, did you ? It is, and will be, the talk of the state. But, you see, that is what we want, and it .takes some
thing extraordinary and fine to get it. Now, have "your" man look at the unbagable pants prices below they are not
"high, are they? Union labels in all garments that's good, isn't it ? We think so. So is advertising. You would not get
these dresses if we did not advertise. Then do as we advertise we do prove us. But to allay any suspicions, we. below,
ive numbers and minute description of goods, so you can come right in, call for the number of goods you desire to see.
rou will notice we do not say "all suits cut so and so," and then show you cheaper goods when you come in. No, sir ; we
give you the number and color of it. Now, you don't need to buy ready-made stuff ; just take advantage of this ; come and
make your selections ; we will hold the goods for you until you are ready to have them made up The margin of profit on a
single order is as nothing, but we do business on the modern methods of a large number of orders, taken in the aggregate
means much. We are very large consumers of merchant tailor goods, and we pay spot cash ; therefore, we almost make our
own prices when we purchase cloth supplies. This means much nearly all in governing our selling prices, and is the reasoa
we are able to quote the following prices.

LOW RATE FROM HAMBURG
FREIGHT CARRIED 17,000 MILES
FOR ABOUT .U PER TON.
Gloo.ny Outlook for Shipowners De
layed Fleet Leaving tlie Month.
o the River Marine Xoten.
The British- bark Mattcrhorn, under
charter to load general cargo at Hamburg
for Portland, receives but Ss 6d per ton
for the cargo. This Is believed to be the
lowest rato at which general cargo has
ever been brought to this port from
Europe, and would indicate that low
freights arc by no means confined to
the Pacific Coast. In former seasons,
vessels have frequently come out to Port
land from Europe in ballast, in fact
some of the bounty-fed French vessels
arc still doing it, but these ballast
voyages have nearly always been under
taken at a time when freights outward
from Portland have been held at high
figures, which enabled the vessels to re
coup for the profitless voyage out from
Europe. At present there Is nothing
cheering in the outlook for the vessel
after she reaches Portland, for rates are
demoralized and there is not much hope
of improvement.
The distance covered by a sailing ves
sel in making the voyage from Europe
to Portland is approximately 17,000 miles,
and some owners claim that the round
trip voyage will show a loss if made for
less than 40 shillings. Unless there is
a material Improvement In outward
freights from Portland by the time the
Mattcrhorn reaches Portland she will be
obliged to complete the round trip at
35 shillings, and perhaps lower. Four
years of prosperity have enabled ship
owners to pile up some tidy reserves, but
the outlook now indicates that they will
be obliged to draw on these reserves quite
heavily before demand again equals the
supply of tonnage.
According to the London Statist, British
shipbuilding in 1901 exceeded that of 1900
by 123,000 tons. The Increase in the
United States was 100,000 tons, but not
all this was on salt water; the increase
of Germany was only 13,000 tons, and of
France 12,000 tons, with all the assistance
extended by the government. The in
creased construction in Holland was 17,
000 tons, in Belgium nearly 7000 tons, or
about 100 per cent, Norway and Sweden
17,000 tons, or 50 per cent, while the ton
nage of Italy, Austria and Japan de
creased. The tonnage produced in 1900
was nearly 2,500.000 tons, and in 1901,
2, 65G.0C0 tons. Here is an increase of
more than 5,000.000 tons in two consecutive
years, and the most conspicuous feature
of it is the construction of steamers of
unprecedented size. The amount of sea
borne commerce would have to increase
very rapidly to provide ample employ
ment for such a vast supply of the instru
ments of transportation. The production
by countries gives little or no Indication
of the effectiveness of governmental as
sistance, while the amount of shipping
constructed in the two years affords no
support for the idea that in this direction
private enterprise needs public encourage
ment. The Statist's figures Include ves
sels of under 100 tons. Lloyd's Register
omits these smallest vessels, but Includes
vessels under construction and makes a
total tonnage last year of a trifle over
3,000,000, of which 467,000 were war vessels.
o'clock the British ships Conway and
Banklelgh crossed out, leaving but six
finished ships In the lower harbor. From
present indications, another quartet will
get out today. The bar lias shifted around
so much recently that it is only with a
particularly favoring wind that vessels
can be sailed out, and they are dependent
on the tugs. Four ships on one tide Is
very good work for the two tugs, and
as the time for better weather Is ap
proaching, delays are probably over for
the season. The Oceano, which sailed
yesterday, was not seriously injured In
either of her mishaps, but will go on
the drydock in the Orient.
FLEET MOVING AGAIX.
Quartet of Grain Vessels and a Bis
Steamship Start Seaward.
The delayed fleet at the mouth of the
river commenced moving again yesterday
and four of the sailers and the big steam
ship Oceano crossed out. The procession
was headed at 2 o'clock by the French
bark Bossuet, and the British ship Queen
Elizabeth followed an hour later. At 5
COOS BAY AND PORTLAND.
Mr. Banntgrartner Cites a Fevr Facta
Bearing; on Transportation.
PORTLAND, March 29. (To the Edi
tor.) Dear Sir: Having read with Inter
est an article In today's Issue of The
Oregonlan, under the heading, "Coos Bay
and Portland," I would kindly ask for
space to reply to same.
I have been In close touch with all
the shippers of the territory adjacent to
Coos Bay the past four years, have made
frequent trips Into that country, and
have studied their wants and will say
that the Gray Steamship Company is
giving them better service than they have
ever had before, and is maintaining, at
great expense, a regular service with the
best equipped steamers for both pas
senger and freight service in the coast
ing trade.
Mr. Addis tells in this article of the
resources of the Coos country, but evi
dently has been misinformed, as he says
large quantities of veal, beef cattle and
hogs are produced. This Industry is in
its infancy, and there have been shipped
Into that section the past year .25 calves
for every head of cattle that has been
shipped out, and those calves came from
the famous dairy farms of Humboldt
County, California. The largest ship
ments of hogs leaving Coos the past year
were purchased by the Union Meat Com
pany and shipped to Portland on the
regular steamer line.
There were shipped out of Coos County
the past season about 16,000 boxes of
apples, of which 12.500 found their way
to Portland, via the steamer Alliance, of
tne regular line, and the bulk of same
were shipped from here to Chicago, via
the O. R. &. N. Co., and arrived at desti
nation In excellent condition, which
speaks well for the regular line.
Regarding flour, feed, grain and other
cereals. I can say that fully 90 per cent of
this class of freight used in that section
is , purchased at Portland and can be
verified at the millB In this city.
It is true that the creamery products and
poultry and coal find their way to the
San Francisco market. This, however, 'is
not owing to the lack of transportation
facilities to Portland, but owing to the
great demand and higher prices paid at
San Francisco.
Port Orford white cedar, which is sold
on the San Francisco market at 535 per
1000 feet, and myrtle, which is sold on
the same market at $40 per 1000 feet, can
be and are sold on the Portland market
for less money, and are shipped to Port
land on the regular steamer line.
The Portland match and. broom manu
facturers obtain all the wood used in the
manufacture of these articles from Coos
and Curry Counties, and have no com
plaints to offer and are perfectly satis
fied with the service as furnished by the
line operating between Portland and Coos
Bay.
In conclusion, I will say that the com
pany which I represent has operated on
this line the past four years and is In
position to, and will, increase the number
of steamers whenever the business war
rants . Yours very- truly.

BUILDING MANY VESSELS.
Cnptaln AI Stream Associated With a
Prominent Firm en Paxet Sonad.
Captain Al Stream, ex-barpllot, ex-tub-boatman,
ex-steamboat Inspector, and ex-all-around
seaman and navigator, has
been quite successful since he failed to
start a shipyard at Astoria. He is as
sociated with the John B. Hardy Ship
building Company, at Tacoma, and the
firm has Just received a contract for an
other big barkentlne, making four big
vessels for the works. The latest con
tract awarded them Is for a vessel 212
feet long, 41 feet beam and 15V feet
depth of hold. The cost will be $60,000,
and the craft Is for Sudden & Christian
sen, of San Francisco. Mr. Hardy, who
owns an extensive machine shop In ad
dition to his shipyard, has turned out
some very fine steamship work, and the
plant Is rapidly becoming one of the lead
ing industries of Tacoma. The barken
tlne Thomas P. Emlgh, which was com
pleted at these yards In January, carried,
on her maiden trip, 1,230,000 feet of lum
ber for Sydney.
REVENUE FLEET TO SAIL SOON.
Government Will Bcsin Patrolling
Bchringr Sea Earlier Than Usual.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 29. Repairs
on the hull of the revenue cutter Thetis
will be completed next week, when sho
will be brought here for slight repairs on
her machinery. After taking coal and
supplle3 she will sail for her annual cruise
on patrol duty in Behring Sea, by April
20. The Bear's repairs will be completed
so that she will sail for the North on
April 12. Every effort Is being made by
the department to have the entire fleet
In readiness to enter Behring Sea and re
sume the duties of patrolling that dis
trict at an earlier date than usual. An
influx of miners to Nome and other min
lng camps of Alaska is expected this
season, which will render the presence
of the cutters imperative as the only rep
resentation of Federal authority.
LUMBER AND WHEAT.
Tivo More Oregon Cargoes in the
Stream Ready for Sea.
A cargo of wheat for the United King
dom, and a cargo of lumber for South
Africa, finished the shipping business for
the week yesterday, and with possibly
one exception completes the month's
business In shipping. The Portland Grain
Company finished loading the British ship
Rockhurst, and the Eastern Lumber Com
pany completed the lumber cargo of the
Star of Germany. Both vessels are in
the stream, and will clear tomorrow. The
March fleet will be about the same size
as that of a year ago. and there are five
vessels In the river under charter for
April loading. There are also two vessels,
the Brunei and the Lord Shaftesbury, on
the free list, and the French bark Asle,
undergoing repairs.
463 Revised Statutes, namely, unlawfully
carrying more passengers than it stated
In the certificate of Inspection. The tug
arrived In last evening from Nehalem and
brought 23 passengers, while her certifi
cate allows her to carry only 12.
RETAIL GROCERS WAIT
Salmon Arrivals at Liverpool.
The London Grocers' Gazette of March
S says of salmon:
"This week has been marked by the
arrival at London of very large supplies,
both by sailing boats and steamers,
chiefly at Liverpool, the steamship Glen
roy, with 30,647 cases, being the only
arrival at London. At Liverpool the fol
lowing steamers have arrived: The John
Cooke, with 47.0S4 cases; the California,
with 6S.935 cases of Alaska; the Blythe
wood, with G5.4SS cases Fraser River. Two
steamers, the Glenfars" and Teenkai, have
brought 22.4S1 and 27.100 cases, respective
ly, from Seattle and Tacoma, this being
porbably Puget Sound salmon. Steadiness
is the prevailing feature at the moment.
With so much salmon just in, there is
naturally a lack of speculation, but there
are apparently no weak sellers at Liver
pool, demand keeps good.
Barkentlne Stranded.
NEW YORK, March 29. The barkentlne
Antllla, Captain Reed, from Montevideo
to New York, with a cargo of hides,
stranded last night at Long Beach, N. J.
She is about 200 yards off shore, head on,

Tajr Voslmrgr Fined.
ASTORIA, March 29. A fine of $500 was
Imposed by Collector of Customs Fox
today on the tug George R. Vosburg.
Captain Loll, for violation of section 4,
Marine Notes.
The Oriental liner Indrapura finished
discharging yesterday and shifted down
to the flour mills at Alblna to take aboard
4000 tons of flour, which will make a foun
dation for her outward cargo.
The British bark Brunei entered at tho
custom-house yesterday with 2794 long
tons of coal. This is equivalent to 312
short tons, and as the vessel registers
but 1555 tons net, she has aboard more
than double her register In short tons.
The steamship Adato has completed her
under-deck cargo and is now taking on
piling. She will get away early in the
week. The Oceano, another of the Weir
liners, sailed from Astoria yesterday
afternoon.
Captain Pilllvult. who was master ol
the French bark Ernest Reyer when sh
was wrecked north of Gray's Harbor a
few weeks ago, has returned to Portland
and will take command of the French
bark Ernest LeGouve, now loading wheat
at this port. The master who brought
the LeGouve to port Is too ill to take her
home.

CHANCE TO KNOCK OUT WHOLE
SALERS' "BLACKLIST" SOUGHT.
Although Neiy Credit System Works
"Well, Plans for Co-Operntlve
Market Go On.
The Retail Grocers' Association Is wait
ing for a chance. When the chance
comes, it will endeavor to show that the
"blacklist" of the wholesale produce mer
chants Is Illegal and liable to tho bin
of the law.
It is alleged that the "blacklist," al
though ostensibly private property, made
out by a trade association for its own
members, is open to the public gaze. It
Is said that some wholesalers display the
"blacklist" In their stores In conspicuous
places, and that it is covered only by a
single sheet of paper, which is easily
lifted up, and which thus exposes the
names of tradesmen who are thereby
made to suffer detriment to their busi
ness. It is maintained that the "blacklist"
Is in effect a boycott and an unfair and
illegal instrument.
Wholesalers deny that the "blacklist" is
exposed to public gaze. So there you
are.
The Wholesalers Association has been

GOOD SEND-OFF FOR OREGON
Charleston Paper Writes Up Exhibit
at the Exhibition.
Charleston (S. C.) State.
From the far Pacific Coast comes a fine
display of the resources of the great
State of Oregon, which Is to have an ex
position In 1905, provided St. Louis doesn't
postpone tho Louisiana Purchase Exposi
tion until that year. The Oregon exhibits
first attract attention through the im
mense logs displayed, two of them being
of mammoth size.
The exhibits of Oregon are located In
the agricultural hall, adjoining the South
Carolina building, and are extensive, com
plete and comprehensive. These exhibits
are in charge of Colonel Henry E. Dosch,
special commissioner and general superin
tendent, who is thoroughly conversant
with the state's resources and thorough
ly enthusiastic over Oregon's future.
In this exhibit are 146 varieties of com
mercial woods. In the stump, log, plank
and polished specimens. What has proven
the magnetic needle of this building is a
piece of Douglas fir, commonly known to
the trade as "Oregon pine," 74 feet long
and 34 inches square, containing 7200 feet
of lumber. It Is of the greatest commer
cial value of all timbers, and grows only
on the Pacific Coast, from Northern Cali
fornia through Oregon, Washington,
British Columbia to Alaska. Its uses are
for house building, railroad ties, bridges,
trestle work timbers, ship's planking,
masts and spars. There are few ships
afloat under any flag whose masts and
spars are not of "Oregon pine." Another
feature is a saw log of Tide Land spruce,
D feet in diameter and 24 feet long; other
sections of white and yellow pine, firs.
Noble fir, oaks, ash, myrtle, cedar, tama
rack, hemlock, alder, cottonwood, ma
drone, maple, yew, dogwood, hawthorn
and crabapple, etc., In sizes ranging from
four to nine feet In diameter.
The mineral wealth of Oregon Is shown
on a scale equal to the displays in other
lines. Large pieces of ore, each containing
metals worth hundreds of dollars, from a
hundred dividend-paying properties, gold
nuggets, precious stones and small speci
mens of great richness. Varieties of fine
marble, copper ores of rich mines. Iron,
coal and asbestos, mineral paint and clays
of many varieties, show why Oregon
makes some of the finest pottery in the
world.
The Horticultural Display.
The horticultural display Is a surprise to
most visitors, few knowing anything about
the vast horticultural resources of the
state, possibly because Oregon Is so far
west. Oregon has earned the soubriquet
of the "Land of Red Apples." These ap
ples, with the finest of pears, plums,
prunes, peaches, quinces, apricots, figs,
cherries, walnuts, chestnuts, almonds,
grapes and berries, all of which are on
exhibition, show why Oregon fruits have
met such a sympathetic market in Amer
ica and Europe. These are the fruits
which came into competition with the fin
est fruits of America and Canada at the
meeting of the Pomological Society of
America, held at Buffalo In September.
1901. and were awarded the world-famed
and much-coveted "Wilder medal" for the
display of the 'most perfect fruits.
At the northern end of Oregon's space
are displayed the grains, grasses and for
ace plants. In the straw and cereal, in
glass jars. On the panels are to be found
the grains, principally wheat, grown on
the plateau regions and valleys of East
ern Oregon along the lines of the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Company. On the
walls. In beautiful design, are to be found
the wheat, barley, oats, rye, timothy,
clovers and other forage plants grown In
Western Oregon, along the line of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company, and
known as the Willamette Valley. Some
of these grains in the straw are seven feet
high, and so plump as to cause astonish
ment to those who are not familiar with
the fertile soils and equable climate of
Oregon. Then there Is the pine needle
some staples being 23 inches long; ilajc
and its products; wool of the finest sheepv
and Its fiber, tow, linen thread, napkins
and table linen, sacks, towels, etc., made
therefrom: fine creamery butter and ex
port butter, packed In tins and glass; the
royal Chinook salmon, weighing 65 to 70
pounds each: Dolly Varden and rainbow
trout, and razor clams a foot In length;
wheat and rye flour, oats and cornmeal
and macaroni, spaghetti and vermicelli
made In Oregon; also the world-famous
hops.
At the further end Is represented a large
wheat field, amidst which hangs a beau
tiful oil painting, six feet by eight feet,
representing Mount Hood, as seen from
Portland, painted by Mrs. Hutchinson, one
of Oregon's famous artists, and over it is
artistically arranged a sunburst, a sight
to be seen almost dally, as the sun rises
over the mountains every morning; the
rays of this sunburst are made of wheat
in the straw, and over all waves tho
American flag.
Oregon is the only Pacific Coast State
represented at this exposition, and is en
titled to a great deal of credit for bring
ing nine cars" of exhibits 4000 miles, which
earned 235 gold, silver and bronze medals
more than any other state at the Paa
Amerlcan Exposition at Buffalo.
Some Expert Statistics.
United States Investor.
A very amusing blunder, and one which,
shows the caution with which the find
ing of your expert statistician should bo
accepted, has recently come to our
notice. Last week a leading New Eng
land newspaper, the Springfield Repub
lican, printed an editorial entitled "Two
Decades in Manufacturing." In which
various percentages of increase in con
nection with the details of the manufac
turing Industry of the United States were
presented in tabular form. It transpires,
however, that a gross blunder was mado
In calculating these percentages. It ap
pears that the "expert" In computing
tho difference between 1900 and 1S90 used
the 1900 figures as his divisor, instead of
1S90 figures. The result was of course
astonishing.
The Springfield Republican admits the
blunder and explains the situation as
follows: "The figures were taken from
the "Bulletin of the National Associa
tion of Wool Manufacturers." of which
S. N. D. North, in charge of the United
States census on manufactures. Is editor.
Their appearance there, in advance of
any census bulletin sent to this office,
gave to them an official aspect which
seemed to obviate the necessity of any
scrutiny as to the correctness af tho cal
culation respecting the degree of relative
changes; though to any one at all familiar
with such calculations the errors would
be plain almost at a glance. The joko
seems to be on the census office."
