NOW COMMENCES THE THIRD WEEK OF THE SEPTEMBER RECORD SALES, OFFERING EVEN GREATER INDUCEMENTS
If all advertised and so-called sales were com
pelled to live up to a certain authentic gen-
uineness, there would be' fewer sale attempts
in Portland. Some stores are absolutely un
conscious to all else save their own imagina
tions. They forget that if they are really of .
importance to the r community they must in
turn owe something to that conimunitj'. In
recognition of that duty, and in justice to
honest methods, we offer this Record Furni
ture Sale a sale of genuine merit and of
material saving opportunities.
The Character and Meaning of the Record Sales
There is nothing misleading no deceptive name applied to this sale. It is an honest sale, with an honest name, and an
honest meaning." The Record Sale is a simple-meaning statement, and we depend upon values alone to make of this truly
a record event. By the co-operation of determination and value-giving, we intend to do double the amount of business ever
recorded during the month of September by any one furniture house in the Northwest which is to say double the record
made by this house during September one year ago. This, then, is the significant meaning of the "Record" Sales.
"Quality" is a term of deeply-hidden mean
ing. It is one that is often abused. There is
surely no acquaintance so valued as that occa
sioned by quality. The furniture that goes out
from this house ranks first in point of quality.
It is the sort that carries into the best-furnished
homes an air of personality a supreme
amount of distinct "quality" an assurance of
lasting satisfaction, and" the inherent right of
aristocratic bearing. "Gevurtz" the stamp of
universal approval.

The Range That Gave the
Cook Her Royal Title
The race for range supremacy is a one-range affair. There's not another
range within forty miles of the "Eclipse." If the "Eclipse" were torn to
pieces and sold to the metal-buyer, it would' bring more money than any
other range. It wouldn't weigh any more, nor would it be of larger bulk. -It's
the quality better steel, better castiron, finer temper; so much for the
vitality. The cooking arrangements are perfect. What satisfaction is so
pleasing as satisfied taste? It's the well-cooked food. The "Eclipse" has
a world of refined cooking education. Compared to other ranges it is as the
sun compared to the stars. "Eclipse' the brightest glory on the cooking
horizon. Guaranteed for fifteen years, with 15 distinct superior reasons,
and every qualification of the perfect range. The choice of all who advo
cate a modern cookery. Prices even less than those asked for many in
ferior makes.

WILL 11 OREGON MAN
BISHOP TO FILIj VACANCY AT
TAYLOR-STREET CHURCH.
Ministers of State Conference in Re
volt Against Importation of Tal
ent H1U Goes to Spokane.
Rev. Everett M. Hill, acting pastor of
Taylor-street Methodist Episcopal
Church, will be transferred to the Jefferson-street
Methodist Episcopal
Church at Spokane after the session
of the Oregon Conference, which con
venes here September 24. His place at
the Taylor-street church will be filled
by appointment to be made by Bishop
David H. Moore, who will preside at
the conference.
That Bishop Moore will select a mem
ber of the Oregon Conference to fill the
pulpit of Taylor-street church is
pretty generally believed, as there is a
strong conviction that the time has
come when the ability and faithful
service of the ministers in this con
ference should be recognized and the
high-salaried pulpits filled by them in
stead of by men transferred from
other conferences.
Since the aommittee selected to de
cide upon a pastor has given the mat
ter entirely into the hands of Bishop
Moore, a strong belief seems to pre
vail that Rev. W. H. Heppe, for "three
years pastor of Centenary Church, is
likely to receive recognition and be
appointed to the Taylor-street church
pulpit. This, it is crgued, would be a
promotion richly deserved and would
serve to encourage faithful service in
the ministry of the Oregon Conference.
That there has been altogether too
much transfer work in the Oregon
Conference seems to be the prevailing
opinion among many Methodists, and
as for the ministers themselves, they
are said to feel greatly disheartened
because of the fact that all of the so
called "good" charges are given to out
siders. This was the case when Dr. F.
Burgette Short was brought to Taylor
street church;, it was the case with
Dr. Clarence True Wilson at Grace
Church, and it is said to have been the
custom for many years to give the best
appointments in thp conference to out
siders. This is said to have greatly discour
aged the ministers of the conference,
who have come to think that in this
conference little regard for their
rights or respect for their- ability has
been given heretofore. Therefore when
the pulpit of Tayor street is open for
an appointment the cry is going up for
the appointment of a member of the
Oregon Conference to that important
charge.
It is said that the ministers in the
Oregon Conference have grown weary
of seeing the best appointments turned
over to men from various other places,
and that in many instances competent
ministers have asked to be transferred
from this to other conferences where
there is reward and promotion in
store for hard-working, faithful pas
tors. It Is argued that the time has
come In this conference when the pro
motion system should be put into ef
fect, and by leaving the appointment of
a pastor entirely in the hands of
Bishop Moore the members of Taylor
street church are said to have shown
their feeling that the position should
be given to a minister of the Oregon
Conference.
Jefferson-street Methodist Episcopal
Church, to which Mr. Hill Is to be
transferred, is a very desirable appoint
ment. It has a large membership and
Is prosperous, being one of the oldest
congregations in Eastern Washington.
Official announcement of the transfer
will be made at the coming session of
the Oregon Conference by Bishop
Moore. Mr. Hill will remain here as
a member of this conference In order
that he may cast his vote on the many
Important matters that are coming up
for discussion, after which he will
move to Spokane to assume the duties
of his new charge.
He has been filling the pastorate of
Taylor-street Church temporarily in
the absence of Dr. Short, who has been
ill for many months. He has won many
friends and has made a good impres
sion on the members of the congregation.

Gains Three Years in
Age in Few Weeks
Remarkable Feat of Young Han
AVbo Is Having Trouble In Marrying-
the Lady of Ufa Choice. .
SOME weeks ago, M. Grohs, aged IS,
and Tracy Fox, aged about 16, ap
plied for a license to wed, the girl's
mother accompanying them and signing
the necessary consent blank. The young
man's mother also had written her con
sent to the marriage, but the state law
was in the way of further proceedings,
for the girl lacked about a month of
reaching marriageable age, according
to the statutes.
The young couple went their way
resolved to wait until the weeks passed
by that would remove the bar on the
girl's age. Yesterday they appeared
again at the County Clerk's office, and
to the deputy's surprise the boy had
gained three years of maturity in the 1
few weeks since he had called be
fore. It is to be said In his behalf,
however, that he misunderstood the
usual question asked him, for as he
had on the previous visit presented
his mother's certificate of consent, he
supposed when the deputy asked him
if he was of legal age that an affirm
ative answer would be correct.
It was recalled by one of the deputies
that the young man had given his age
as 18 on the previous occasion, and
as he had failed to bring the paper
signed by his mother the wedding had
to be postponed again until he could
communicate with his parent and get
the necessary consent.
