COUNTY
New Courthouse Is Projected
for Multnomah.
COST TO EXCEED $500,000
Commissioners Discuss Means of
Raising Funds for Building Bad
ly Needed, as Present Struc
ture Has Been Outgrown.
In order that a new courthouse. cost
In from $500,000 to $750,000, may be
erected, without the Burdens of the cost
coming- too sharply on the taxpayers,
the County Commissioners have been dis
cussing the plan of asking the next Leg
islature to authorize the bonding of
Multnomah County In the sum required,
the bonds -to be redeemed at intervals up
to eight or ten years. . .
As the law now stands, the Commis
sioners would have to make alt their levy
in two years, and it is their bclic-f that
the cost of a new courthouse would be
a heavy burden to be imposed In only
two levies. The need of a new court
house is shown by the facts that the
biillding is full, nearly every official In
It is clamoring for more room, and at
least four of the county officials have
had to see!-: quarters elsewhere, for
which the county pays rent.
The Assessor. Treasurer and School
Superintendent are in rented offices at
the City Hall, while the District Attorney
occupies offices in the Chamber of Com
merce, for which the county pays rent.
The reason that these officials are not
at the Courthouse is that there is no
room for them there. In addition, the
county is paying rent for the courtrooms
of the Justices of the Feace and consta
ble. The grand Jury, sessions of which
will begin in September and contlnu'e
every month, has.no place either to meet
In or to place the witnesses who will be
called before it.
Though there has been an insistent de
mand on the pait of the county officials
for a new building- large enough for the
county's needs, there has been little or
nothing said by the taxpayers generally
and the Commissioners are anxknis for
expressions of opinion from the tax
payers on the question of a new Court
house. There are four departments of the Cir
cuit Court in which jury trials are held,
but only two rooms in which the juries
can deliberate on their verdicts. When
more than two juries are out at the
same time, as happens every month, the
result Is discomfort to the juries, loss
of time to the courts, and dangerous op
portunity for interested parties to use im
proper influence with the juries.

THE LITTLE
MONEY-MAKER
Sells Matches
and Advertises
Your
Business
(Improred 1S0S
Model)
This little ma
chine is a con
stant source of
Income, requires
1 1 1 tie attention,
is a great con
venience to your
customers, and
can be made to
advertise your
business.
It sells for
one cent a vest
pocket package
of about fifty
small matches.. ...
Why jrive away matches -when
you can sell them at a profit and at
the same time' please your custom
ers? A Trade Getter and Advertiser
The convenience of having: a vest
pocket box of small matches is much
appreciated by all smokers. If you
have one of our machines on your
cigar counter you will attract many
a man who wants the matches. Get
him into your store for that and
you are likely to gain a steady cus
tomer. Almost any decent man would
rather pay one cent, for a pocket
box of fifty matches than to ask
for two or three matches free, espe
cially If he can get them from a ma
chine and does not have to wait for
the clerk.
The machine Is also useful In dis
tributing advertising matter, . as
you can paste a sticker on each
box calling attention to some spe
cialty which you handle.
' o n p o scheme can also be
worked to advantage by placing
coupons in the boxes of matches.
These coupons are great trade get
ters, a number of them calling for
some article In your store. They
bring the people back. These
coupons and stickers can be bought
for a trifle from your local printer,
or we will furnish them at cost.
The Machine
It Is of iron, handsomely finished
In enamel and gilt, with a glass
front. The mechanism Is very sim
ple and durable, and It is operated
by a single motion. The machine is
not Ui (he least complex. -It is
equipped with rubber tips on the
bottom to prevent scratching, and it
takes up a space of onJy 5x5 inches
on your counter.
Profit 140
The matches sold in the machine
are the very best manufactured, and
we will sell them . to you for 60
cents per gross (In B-gross cases).
You sell them from the machine for
11.44 per gross, leaving a profit of
84 cents per gross, or 140 per cent
net profit on the cost price. Tou
also save the cost of matches, which
you now lve away.

The above cartoons illustrate the fact that the Big Price Boys can cut prices 60 per cent and still
the special sale price is higher than our special bargain price, where we have cut only 25 per cent. It
is highly important that you remember this when buying furniture whether jrou are buying reg
ularly or picking up special bargains. Also, it is well to keep tab on furniture houses who show
special cuts of 50 per cent or more. If the goods were not marked up 100 per cent or more to
start with, it is certain that they could not be cut half in two and then some as is often the
case. TO TAKE A PIECE OF FURNITURE COSTING $50.00 AND MARK IT.$100 OR MORE
IS A HOLDUP. It may be a landlord holdup which requires the dealer to ask such enormous
profits, but, even so, you don't have to trade with the Big Price Boys. Or course, others cannot
possibly compete with us, because OTHERS PAY RENT WE COLLECT RENT on half our
own building. WHO CAN SELL THE CHEAPEST?
Our Mr. S. H. Morgan is now in the East, where
several carloads of Furniture will be purchased
for Fall delivery. To make room for these and
to clear out samples, we have numerous bar

at Ihree-fowrths of our very low regular price. It cer
tainly will give the Big Price Boys a chill, all right.
You can afford a big, handsome Refrigerator at these
SPECIAL
Every weathered oak pattern in the house is cut one
fourth this week. An elegant line in the quartered
