CARD OF THANKS.
I desire to express the sincere thanks of
my family and self to the manv kind
friends of Oakland. Cal.. and this city, for
their kind words of consolation and sym
pathetic attention shown us during the
last illness of our son. Edward Rasmuscn.
and for the many beautiful floral tributes
which were contributed at the time of the

ivay, iWHI Give Valuable
. Statistics to Portland.
The first report of the subcommittee
having In charge the matter of securing
an .Alaska steamship line for Portland
will be made to the transportation co re
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce to
morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. The meet
ing of the transportation committee,
which consists of 25 of the leading busi
ness 3nen of the city, was called yesterday
by L. A. Lewis, the chairman, at the re
quest of Sol Blumauer. chairman of the
Alasksi steamship committee.
Mr. Blumauer stated last night that the
main object of the meeting was to give a
hearing to J. E. Ballaine, of Seattle, one
of the principal officers and a large stock
holder In the new Alaska Central Rail
way, which is being built inland from
Seward, Alaska, and which will tap a
new and, it is claimed, very rich copper,
gold and silver mining district.
Anxious for Trade Facilities.
Mr. Etallaine Is naturally interested in
procuring as many steamship connections
as possible for his road, and also In se
curing the establishment of smeltors
which iclll be able to handle the ores that
the ne-jv railway will bring out to the
coast, -jehen the mines nrc developed. It
is behaved that he will be able to give
the committee valuable facts and figures
with reference to the proposed steaihshlp
line.
Enough letters are now in the hands
of the steamship committee. Mr. Blu
mauer says to make a book of formidable
size, all. glvingdata which goes to show
that the people of Alaska, and the pro
ducers of this section of the Pacific
Northwest, will welcome a new steamer
line. "He says further, that the commit
tee has received assurances of substan
tial support from the merohants of Port
land, and that there is every reason to
believe that the project will be success
fully carried out.
Amount of Freight Accessary.
The committee estimates that pledges
of 24.000 tons of freight a month from
Portland will be needed to justify private,
persons in establishing the line. This will
uillow of the operation of two steamers.
At the meeting of th main committee
Sir. Blumauer will also ask that the size
of the steamship llntf committee be In
creased to at least five members.

We Have Got to Move
WE HAVE GOT TO VACATE THESE
PREMISES
This building- at Fifth and Alder streetswe will not disgrace
its memory by speaking- of it as anything- else than a building-,
whatever its outward appearance may be is an old building-, built
by the late Henry Failing: some 50 years ag;o. Many of Portland's
citizens have been sheltered beneath its roof, families born and
reared beneath itsshelter. It was an old building: six years ag-o,
when we moved our then small business into it; and as a crowning
service of its long-, useful life, this old building: has gven our busi
ness a business home and enabled us to grow, develop and expand
until today our business will step forth from this old building- one
of the Largest Ladies' Suit and Garment Institutions in the City,

DON'T FAIL TO SEE
MONDAY MORNING AND
EVENING PAPERS
This Is the Venerable Old Building That Has Furnished Us a Business Home
So We Have Got to Move,, for "They" Are Going to Build Here
Comparatively speaking we "will say) that day and night we have worked on this old building to enable it to last until the proper time when its successor
could arrive. The proprietor of this store, the clerks, the help and all have carpentered, patched, painted, plumbed, glased, roofed, caulked, scrubbed,
electricianed, stoppled leaks, papered, carpentered, etc, etc., time and again until memory failsth to recall to enable this old building to hold our expanding
business. Yes, expanding business, for when we started we paid 50 cents occupation license, which is the amount on 2000, and under, now we pay a
license on and around bnsiness transacted of nearly one hundred thousand dollars. To look at the outside of this old building you. would think there was
not much room inside, yet we tell you that if "all the different spaces, floors, lofts, garrets and corners that we use, were- spread out into one floor it would
cover nearly a quarter of a block. Now then, we have a tremendous stock; there is no there can be no reserve YOUR PRICES MUST OBTAIN. All
' Clearance Sales will pale to a 30c appearance when compared to what we will and have to do.
