We are mailing you the Portland Oregonlan
of January 1, 1008. Its Illustrations, statis
tics and general descriptive matter are a his
tory of this city and state during a year of
unprecedented prosperity, and we want you
to understand that theer is going to be no
let-up here, no matter if you and some of
your acquaintances feel that there is a spirit
of hesitation In tbe country at large.
It will perhaps surprise you to know that
the coldest day this Winter In Portland has
been 32 degrees above zero: the death rate
wae smaller here last year than in any other
large city on the continent; Portland was the
first American city to return to a cash basis
after the late financial flurry.
Command us for any further Inform.lion.
and please acknowledge receipt. tVtehlng you
a happy and prosperous New Year, we are.
Very sincerely yours,

HONORS DANIEL WEBSTER
American Patriotic Club Will Hold
Banquet on His Birthday.
The American Patriotic Club will honor
the life and memory of the great states
man, Daniel Webster, by giving Its sev
enth annual dinner on .his birthday, Jan
uary 18, 1908, at the Hotel Portland. Few
men who made the early history of the
United States were as prominent as Mr.
Webster. His wonderful ability as a
speaker and is great force of character
made him easily the most notable man of
that day.
The programme arranged by the exec
utive committee, consisting of Judge
Charles E. Wolverton, the president of
the club; Mr. W. D. Wheelwright, vice
president, and Mr. George W. Hazen, the
secretary, contains interesting topics for
discourse, and splendid speakers have
been secured to respond to the toasts to
be proposed by the toastmaster, Judge
Wolverton.
The past meetings of the American Pa
triotic Club have been most interesting,
and this one will equal any of them,
and those desiring to attend should let
Mr. Hazen, the secretary, or any mem
ber of the committee, know before Janu
ary 16 In order that Manager Bowers can
make the necessary arrangements for the
banquet board.
Vancouver Barracks Notes.
VANCOUVER BARRACKS, Wash.,
Jan. 4- (Special.) Captain James Baylies,
now at San Diego, on sick leave, has
been ordered here for temporary duty.
Colonel Woodbury, stationed at Fort
Lawton, now in command of the Depart
ment of the Columbia, arrived yesterday
and spent the day at department head
quarters. Majors Charles B. Wheeler and Charles
C. Jamison, of the Ordnance Depart
ment, have been detailed as a board of
officers to meet and conduct investiga
tions pretaining to the construction of
ordnance material. '
Captain Dougles Letele is detailed to
fill a vacancy in the subsistence de
partment and ordered to Chicago, as as
sistant to the purchasing commissary
there.
First "-Lieutenant Theodore H. Koch,
and Second Lieutenants John Philbrick
and Fielding S. Porter have been ordered
examined as to their fitness for promo
tion. ,
By order of the President, Colonel Ben
jamin C. Lockwood has been placed on
the retired list after 4S years active ser
vice. Before his retirement. Colonel
Lockwood was promoted to the rank of
Brigadier-General.
Leave of absence for three months on
a surgeon's certificate of disability has
been granted Major Samuel D. Freeman.
Captain Clarence H. McNeil has been
ordered to Fort Monroe. Va.. for con
sultation with the director of artillery
and gun defense concerning matters of
improvement in the department of chem
istry and explosives.
Funds Also Provided for Salaries of
Chemist, Bacteriologist and
Meat Inspector to Care
for Public Health.
Portland will have its own laboratory,
a. chemist, bacteriologist and meat in
spector. At the regular, monthly meeting
of the Board of Health, to be held to
morrow morning, this matter will be the
chief subject of disscusslon. It Is prac
tically certain the laboratory will be in
stalled in the OKI Hall. A general senti
ment favors that location. City Health
Officer Pohl Is one of those in favor of
it.
The necessary appropriation, for the
equipment of the laboratory and the sal
aries of the three new officers has been
made by the adoption of the report of
the ways and means committee of the
Council. It is therefore certain that with
in a reasonable time, the city will have
what is regarded by all authorities to
be very important for the regulating of
the public health.
Much interest centers in the three new
positions, created by this act, all of
which pay well. It is likely that the
chemist and bacteriologist will receive
$150 each a month and the salary of the
meat inspector will be about 21,500 a
year. While these places are not the
most lucrative within the rift of the city,
they are all desirable and the usual com
petition will probably follow when they
are to be filled. Civil service examina
tions must be held for these positions.
"r. Pohl and Market Inspector Svans
led in the fight for an appropriation for
the installation of a laboratory and the
payment of salaries of the necessary
attaches to operate it, and were suc
cessful last week, before the ways and
means committee, which was making up
its budget for recommendation to the
Council. All of the Counellmen on the
committee spoke in favor of the labora
tory, and voted for the necessary appro
priation. A proposition has been made by Dr
"Vlctoria L. Hampton to gdv the use of
her private laboratory and her services,
Jn part, for $150 a month, and the health
board is pledged to Investigate this plan
to see Jf it is feasible; but it Is regarded
as certain that It cannot well be done,
because Dr. Hampton said she would not
allow the laboratory equipment to be
taken to the City Hall.
"It Is necessary for the best public ser
vice to have the laboratory installed In
the City Hall." said Dr. Pohl, In speak
ing of the project. it ought to be so
situated that any one can go there and
submit samples of food and promptly
secure a perfectly satisfactory analysis.
For this purpose, it will be seen that it
would not well do to have a laboratory
located in a privae residence. By all
means, I should say. locate the laboratory
in the City Hall."
Mrs. Evans is elated over the victory
that has been won for purer foods m
Portland, and also favors placing the
laboratory In the City Hall. She regards
this as one of the greatest steps of
municipal - advancement the city has
taken for a long time. She and several
other officials have declared repeatedly
that the city must have its own labor
atory, chemist, bacterologlst and meat in.
spector and Is delighted with the new
project. She believes that with the as
sistance to be given her when the labor
atory is in operation, she will te ale to
keep the markets and public food estab
lishments in much better sanitary con
dition.

STORY OE EXTRAORDINARY PRICE-CUTTING
By a combination of remarkable circumstances there comes the greatest crash in prices
ever heard of in Portland. The recent financial crisis came upon us unexpectedly and found
us with thousands of dollars worth of goods in the store and on the road. The year's end
finds us, like every other big store, with hundreds of odds and ends left over. A clearance
sale is customary at this time of year to dispose of these odds and ends but this year we
know that no clearance -sale, or ordinary reduction, will move the amount of goods which we
must sell.
ALL OUR STOCK goes into this sale, excepting a few articles on which the factory,
controls the price. We cannot afford to take pages of advertising space to tell about the
bargains space is costly, and there is no profit for us in this sale.
COME AT ONCE You cannot afford to overlook this opportunity.
CASH IS WANTED
But special short-time credit may
be arranged for by parties where
references are satisfactory.
Long-Time Payment
Accounts
Will be accepted as usual, but
only at regular prices. However,
our regular prices are lower than
you can find elsewhere.
