The provision In the new charter requiring appointments of deputies In the offices of. the City En gineer, City Treasurer, etc, to be made according to fitness to be ascertained by open competitive examinations, has caused some of the present deputies to look over their books on mathematics and ln'prepar atlon for civil service examination. The only comfort they have from this Is that the others who would like to occupy their positions will have to prepare themselves also. Even "William Braden, who has to look after all the sewers In the city and keep them in order, has been poring over an engineering handbook to see how much sewage flows or should flow through pipes of various sizes, and all that sort of thing. When ho had completed this work, he was surprised and delighted to And that employes of the city who have filled positions satisfactorily ior six years are not required to pass any examination. As Mr. Braden has occupied the position he holds for 26 years he .feels secure in office with 20 years to spare. Crowds at the Sale.

Barrett Make Even Modct Hotmes Beautiful. To p.stnhllsh a trade center to which everybody "naturally goes when In need of anything In the llghtlng-flxture line is not an accident We have accomplished the, and it is no accident It Is the result of nearly 40 years' work building up our good business name in Portland, keeping the finest assortment of goods, dealing honestly with our customers, maintain ing the lead by keeping fully abreast of the times, and when the general westward migration of the retail district Justified the change, moving Into our present mag nificent warroom at Sixth and Alder streets at the very heart of tho shopping vortex. It Is truo tXat outside conditions have helped us fix this conspicuous llshtlng flxture center, where all people go to sup ply their wants In this direction as If It were second nature. The large wisdom that Impelled the most prominent depart ment store In Portland to locate its Im mense caravansary within a stone's throw of us, has assisted in swelling the throngs of people that daily Jlnd it convenient to call In upon us. Again, our constant ad vertising announcements, telling only the truth concerning our wares, supplemented by our beautiful window displays and luxurious store equipment, have made It impossible for anyone to think of lighting fixtures, open fireplaces, or household ornaments without thinking of Barrett's store at the same instant Pars. to speak only of one really great advertiser, has spent profitably several millions of dollars to arrange a similar mental con dition In all the Inhabitants of America. We aro content to maintain tho ascend ancy In our own little burg Portland. There are no more refined or appreciative people In the world than Portlandcrs. We cater to them. Their ever-Increasing patronage proves a confidence In our merchandise and methods that Is extreme ly gratifying. It constantly spurs us on to greater efforts. We plan far ahead and Influence the designing at the factories. We are continually receiving new goods, so that at all times our patrons have the same opportunities for selection that are afforded the shopper even in New York. It Is truo to say that no one can afford to leave unseen our elaborately complete stock of goods when considering the fit ting up of a house. It is only possible, not probable, that some of our Imitators may at rare Intervals offer a duplicate design of the more prevalent grades of our fixtures; but even then our price la always the lower. Our immense buying from the factories makes a great saving for us In the beginning, which we yield to our patrons In the shape of the lowest retail prices in Portland. If you desire any thing, come and consult us. If vou have any curiosity, come In and see the fash ions that prevail In the modern palaces of mis country. THE JOHN BARRETT CO., Established 1SCS.
