lO TELE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 2, 1907. I Promised This Standard Pattern Story You see, I tell my wife everything that is, everything I have time to tell her, or that she has time to hear. It's a good thing for a fellow to get into the habit of telling his wife everything. He will be careful that he don't have to tell her something he knows she won't want to hear. But then, a good many men don't have time to tell everything. Then there are. lots of people who seem to have plenty of time to tell all they know and more, too, and still are not very busy. Well, I was busy forgot or something or other. Any way, I didn't tell my wife that we had put in the Standard patterns. So last Tuesday she wanted a pattern and she went to another concern and bought a pattern and came sauntering back to my store with the pattern in her hand and when she got in our big stock of Stand ard patterns stared her in the face. Then I thought it time to make a sneak, but she wouldn't have it that way, and said: "Why didn't you tell me you had patterns having a fellow trot around town hunting a pattern and here you have a. drayload of them." Then I saw I couldn't get away. I kind of bristled up like a worm that was being prodded too much, and I said: "Well, you ought to look around here, and notice things, and what we have, before you go to strewing your money around town. In stocking up a big store like this with new lines, I can't keep a sign pasted on my hat about every new line that comes in." I had hardly finished this defensive speech when she said: "The idea. I am not running the store nor doing the advertising. Why don't you advertise such things and let people know what you got?" That was a stunner. I just said to myself, "I'll bet IH let 'em know that I have a stock of Standard patterns, and all the other new as well as bid lines of goods." So now when we get in a bunch of goods, especially if it is a new line for our store, I immediately send advance copies of the line up to my residence. Of course, Standard patterns are good the pattern my wife bought is good, for all I know I was afraid to ask her anything about it but I noticed that she seemed to want a Standard pattern. ' This story is based on actual facts. So now I've done my duty. We carry Standard patterns. J. M. ACHESON. '11 1 - v 58 J vr Monday Bargains I want to make you remember that I am remembering you.

Kaftan, a county prisoner t the Kelly's Butte roekplle, serving a year for larceny, made a dash for liberty at noon Friday, and three hours later was shot through the right hip by Ensrlnfer William Echtel, who raujtht Flftht of the convlrt sneaking through thf- woods in the vicinity of the mockade. Pagan was taken to the County Hospital and attended by Coun ty PhyKician Geary. Fagan escaped by knocking a board out of the stockado enclosing Kelly's Butte. JIls absence was not noted until he had gained the road and plunged Into the neighboring woods. A posse of guards and the rockpile engineer followed him. The guards fired a dozec shots from their rifles before Knglnccr Kehtel brought the fugitive low with a bullet from hjs 3S-caliber revolver. A. f?. Brlggs, foreman of the Kelly's Butte Jail, brought the wounded man to the county Jatl Friday evening, but neglected to make a report of the affair to the County Commissioners. He was reprimanded for this omission yester day. Rrlggs says that neither he nor any of the poBse knows who shot I'agan. He asserted that all flred at the fugitive a the same time, and when the man fell nobody could Fy whose aim had been true. The pris oner tells a more definite story, com mending the marksmanship of Kngi aeer K htel. " 'Bill.' the engineer, shot me." Fagan told an Oregonian reporter yesterday. ''He is the only one at Kelly's Butte who carries a :!S, and he was the one who landed me." Telling of his attempted escape, Fagan said: "1 waited until the guards gave the rail for grub, and when the prisoners formed into line I knocked a board out of the fence and ran through the hole like a d'eer. I got to the timber and rested a little before the guards 'got next." 'When I saw them coming t ran with all my might. I did not know where 1 was going. All I wanted wss to keep away from the bullets that were landing In front of me and behind me. throwing up pebbles that bit me In the back. "Just as I turned around to see how near the guards were to me, I was dropped. I got up and made a few rnore yards, but had to give it up. 'Bill. the engineer, hit me when I was going like the wind and 200 yards away. He Is a good shot, all right. The others couldn't hit an airship. When I fell they came up and called me everything they could lay their tongues to. They brought me to the County Jail on the quiet, and here I am. I had a fine chance to get away, but lost out, and suppose I will have -lo take my medicine." Fagan was sentenced last April to serve one year for stealing a quantity of copper wire in Alblna, The bullet pierced his right leg just below the hip bone, holes In his overalls plainly showing the course of the missile. MUST ACT JNJ500D FAITH Promoter of Corporation Xot Al lowed to Make Secret Profit. PORTLAND, May 31. (To the Editor.) In these days when so many persons are forming corporations' and seeking to make profit out of stockholders, the de cision rendered a few days ago by Judge Fraxer may prove of Interest. I have not seen it reported In any of the papers. The case was one of the Quartz Gold Mining Company against C. A. Patterson and D. H. Latham. Patterson had a bond, or agreement, to convey certain mines to it for 95CO. of which J1500 could be paid in stock. He represented to cer tain persons that the mine could be bought for $14,000, and was a great bar gain at that. And a corporation was organised, of which Patterson was the promoter, which bought the mines through him. The company paid him. or to the parties from whom the mines were bought, JSPO0 In caeh and gave Pat terson J6000 in stock, which he represent ed was necessary for the purchase of the mines. Afterwards the company discovered that he had paid only $&,000 In cash and $1500 In stock, and brought suit against Patter son and Latham to cancel the stock. Upon the trial Patterson and Latham swore that he had procured a draft for $4000 In favor of one of the owners of the mine, in New York City, but was unable to tell the name of the bank draw ing the draft or the bank on which it was drawn. He swore that he sent this to Patterson in Portland and Patterson swore that it was forwarded to the man in New York. But the circumstances convinced Judge Fraxer that this statement was fiction and he held against it. He also held that a promoter of a corporation was not permitted to make any secret profit in the promotion of a corporation and that if he did so the corporation could recover the profit in a suit brought for that purpose. Numerous authorities cited all held that in such case the promoter must act in good faith, and If he does not do so he is liable to the other stock holders for all profits made which are not common to all of the stockholders.

CARD OF THANKS. To our many friends who have been so kind and sympathetic in our sad af fliction we extend our heartfelt thanks. VI tt ako MB-SL JACOB Mir.l.F.ft Resist Suit of Washington Millmen for Opening of the Portland Gateway to the East. Taking the same position as did the Portland jobbers in the Spokane rate vase, the Oregon & Washington Lum ber Manufacturers' Association has filed a petition in intervention in the suit of the Washington lumber an? shingle manufacturers, who are ask ing that the Portland gateway be opened to Washington lumber shippers. The complaint of the Washington man ufacturers Is directed against the Northwestern railroads, and asks the Interstate Commerce Commission to force the Oregon Railroad & Naviga tion Company, and other connecting lines to accept shipments of Washing ton lumber, shingles and forest pro ducts by their lines at common raus with the Washington railroads. T,n Oregon mills fear their car supply will be absorbed by any anch action, and will fight with the railroads against letting down the bars. The case will be heard In Washing ton on June 11 before the Interstate Commerce Commission, and J. N. Teal has been retained to argue the case of the Intervenors. Prominent lumber men of Portland and the state will sro to Washington with him to appear as witnesses. The petition alleges that the Oregon roads now have their facilities taxed to the utmost to care for the traffic ofTering from Oregon mills without turning over cars to the mills of an other state for their use, and to the detriment of manufacturers on ' tiie lines of the Oregon railways. It is pointed out that the railroads serving Oregon are unable to furnish sufficient cars to move the products of the mills, and that there are now not less than 14,000 carloads of lumber, shingles and other forest products awaiting ship ment from Oregon mills which must be transported over the lines of the defendant railroads. Because the railroads of Oregon are unable to furnish a sufficient number of cars, it is alleged many mills have been compelled to curtail operations or chose down their plants entirely. The congestion on the railroads from time to time so that embargoes on lumber traffic have been declared Is also referred to as showing that the defendant railroads cannot handle the additional traffic that is sought to be placed upon them. Other trafic is also declared to he held up by the railroads because they are unable to provide equipment suf ficient to transport It. The petition re cites that should the order asked by the Washington manufacturers be granted. It would place the Oregon sawmill owners at a great disad vantage and would give an undue and unreasonable preference to the com plaints. It is also stated that the Washington manufacturers have had reasonable rates and service on the Washington railroads to take care of REMOVES BLOOD HUMORS When the blood is pure and healthy the skin will be soft, smooth, and free from eruptions, but when the blood becomes infected with some un healthy humor the effect is shown by rashes, eruptions, boils and pimples, or other disfiguring; and annoying skin disease. The skin is provided with, countless pores and glands which act as a drainage system to rid the body of impurities through the perspiration that is constantly passing through these little tubes. There are other glands that pour out on the skin an oily substance to keep it soft and pliable. When the blood becomes filled with, humors and acids these are thrown off through the pores' and glands, burning and irritating the skin and drying; up the natural oils so that we have not only Acne, Eczema, Salt Rheum, etc., but such dry, scaly skin affections as Tetter, Psoriasis, and kindred troubles. The treatment of skin troubles with salves, washes, lotions, etc. is not along the right line. True, such treatment relieves some of the itching and discomfort and aids in keep ing the skin clear, but it does not reach, the real cause of the trouble, which, are humors in the blood, and it can therefore have no real curative effect on these skin affections. S. S. S., a gentle acting and perfect blood purifier, is the best and quickest treatment. It goes down into the blood and removes the humors, fiery acids and poisons from the circulation, cools the overheat ed blood, and by sending a fresh stream of nourishing blood to the akin permanently cures skin diseases of every character. S. S. S. is made entirely of health producing roots, herbs and barks, and is an absolutely safe remedy for young or old. S. S. S. cures Eczema, Acne, Salt Rheum, Tetter, Pso riasis, and all other disagreeable and unsightly eruptions of the skin.

BANK CLEARINGS FOR MAY Figures Show Advance of S 10, 000, 000 Over Same Month Last Year. Portland bank clearings for May amount to $32,692,506.38. as against $22,060,277.94 for May, 1906. This is an Increase In totals of 48 per cent and is a striking advance. Clearings for the week ending June 1 amount to $6,136,569.63. Figures for the same period last year are $4,140, 801.07. These statistics are the most reliable index to business conditions, and when they are so favorable as the totals given above, they arc sufficient to cause increased confidence in the industrial future of the city and state. Portland has long been in the fror.i rank of American cities in the great advance made in bank clearings so that her citizens now take a striking increase as a' matter of course, and it no longer excites comment. How ever, It is a sure indication of the pros perity and growth of the community. PHOTO POST CARDS SCENERY. Klser Co. Lobby Imperial Hotel.
