Oregon, to manu- ' facture oil, fibre, and insect powder. McCarthy and M. TV. Bruner are eald to have had a contract with the Pine Needle Company to handle all Its output '. for fiveTj-ears. This contract -'was assigned ,to the -, mattress company, it la alleged, on the irepreeentation -that -'the mattress com i pany had a fully, paid capital stock of : 150.000, -which, would render It able to ;. handle the Pine Needle Company's out I put. Ferrell asserts that the board of I directors passed the resolution, author- ixlng the acceptance of the contract for . the "purpose of defrauding future cred- ltors" of the mattress company.

Manchester BERLIN, MAY 14, 1908 - V 2!-.: One of the most successful , American "invasions" which has taken place in Ger many in recent years is that engineered hy Robert A. - Thompson, a Portland, Oregon, boy and expert optician, who came herjj a year ago to teach Germans whom Thack eray called a "nation in spectacles" what eyeglasses are and are not. Sir. Thompson has been putting in a - busy twelvemonth learning all Germany has to teach in his pro fession, and has been called upon to deliver lectures to students of both American and German nationality. He has perfected a marvelous system of eye-testing which Ger man experts declared a genuine "eye-opener.."... Previous to coming to Berlin, Mr. Thompson won recognition in London and Paris! Berlin Letter to The Oregonian. Note After 17 years of experimenting, Mr. Thompson has perfected a, system of sight testing that has astounded the greatest oculists of E?urope. He has given practical demonstrations before 20J0 men of sci ence In London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna and St. ' Petersburg, ' and they unanimously claim the "Thompson system" of sight testing the only . system where a mistake In fitting glasses is impossible. All glasses fitted by Mr. Thompson are guaranteed 6 months. During that time should your vision improve (as Is generally the case after being fitted by the "Thompson system") no charge will be made for the new -glasses required. During the eight years that Mr. Thompson has been practicing In Portland he has successfully fitted over 10,000 cases and has on file at his Institution in the Corbett building hundreds of testi monials from the best people of Oregon. No charge is made for expert examination or advice, and perfect-fitting glasses can be had as low as 1.B0. The "Thompson Optical Institute" is In suite- 209, . Corbett building.
