That's what you are interested in. The man who buys of the local jobber a sample or two at a time, or the man who
goes direct to the wholesale manufacturer and buys his goods at the lowest cash price in carload lots, obtaining
thereby the lowest freight rates? Who can possibly sell the cheapest? One who carries only a $2000 stock or one
who has $75,000 invested? Investigate and you'll h'nd the first man's claims to be mostly air "hot-air" blown
off to hoodwink the buying public. Who DOES sell the cheapest? All we ask is a fair inspection of our stock and
prices. You'll find the stock occupying not ONE SINGLE FLOOR but four floors 100x100 feet in size. You
have an opportunity here for a wider range of choice, and the goods are all marked in plain figures. Our prices are
so low that there will remain no question in your mind as to who sells the cheapest. THE BIO EAST SIDE STORE
invites your trade, for cash or credit. ' ,

owner, resident and non-resident. An
other batch of such letters will b sent
out.
The delinquent personal tax Is only
three and four-tenths per cent and the
delinquent real estate tax but nine-
tenths of one per rent.

The specimens are of unusual size and
shapes and each averages In weight more
than a pound, 'i.iey are attractive in color
and the flavor is declared to be excellent.
This is the first year the tree has borne,
the yield amounting to about 50 apples.

. W. B. Mark, ( Aberdeen
ABERDEEN. Wash., Oct. SI.
(Special.) W. B. Mack, of this
city was recently elected vice
gerent snark of the Hoo Hoos.
which pluces him at the head of
this popular organization In the
State of Washington. When the
Hoo Hoos met here In August
with the Paci.'lc Coast Manufac
turers Association. Mr. Mack
was recommended for the posi
tion to the supreme council,
which recently met In Chicago
and carried out the suggestion.
Mr. Mack la one of the most
populai men on Grays Harbor.
He has been through all the
varied changes In the fortunes
of the people. Mr. Mack Is pres
ent manager of the large inter
ests here of the Blade Mill Com
pany and is the highest salaried
man on the Harbor. He has al
ways contended for everything
that benefited this section and
Y,mm Kn In the front rank when
there was work to be done. t
One of Mr. Mack's pet hobbles I
has been a slogan which orig-
Inated and which has been adopt-
ed by the Chamber of Commerce,
a 'thirty-foot channel to the sea"
for Grays Harbor, which bids I
fair now to be realized. I
Transfers Show Good Gain Over the
Same Month Last Year, While
Bank Clearings Also Reveal
Substantial Increase.
During the month Just ended, Portland
found Itself .hi an era of unexpected
growth. .
"People do not realize it, but It Is a
fact," said Secretary Edmund C. Giltner,
of the Chamber of Commerce, yesterday
afternoon. "We shall have a greater city,
greater by far than any man of my age
would have expected It to be, within a few
years. The deepening of the mouth' of the
Columbia, the building of the Swift Pack
ing Company's plant on the Peninsula
and the completion of the North Bank
road all tend to the greater growth of
the city. Portland never faced a more
prosperous era than now."
. Building operations confirmed Mr. Gllt
ner's statement. For the month there
were 368 building permits Issued, Includ
ing repairs, with total valuations of $$29,
T&o. These totals are considerably higher
than for the preceding year, when valua
tions amounted to $646,585 for October, or
a gain of nearly $200,000 for the month Just
ended. .
For ten months this year the total
valuations amount to $3,500,481, or about
$300,000 less than for the corresponding
period of last year. This difference is
accounted for by reason of the depres
sion felt at the beginning of the year. The
record for October la regarded as quite
satisfactory by contractors and builders
and is a matter of pride to all who take
an Interest in Portlands growth. The
East Side had the customary lead In the
erection of dwellings. The October total
was S3U0.600 for new residences on the East
Side while the West Side had e. total of
$8.S00.
The transactions In real estate were
slightly above the normal for the month,
and the average was In excess of $60,000
a day. There were many large deals on
acreage property. In city property so
many transactions were recorded at nomi
nal values that it is impossible to give
anything like accurate figures.
In financial circles the records of the
clearing-house association showed that
the clearances for yesterday were $1,175.-
679.19 as against $794.947.S2 for the same day
last year. The balances for the day were
respectively $12S,340.9S and $117.212. S3. The
record for the closing week in the two
years was:

"Winter Exodus From Alaska.
There Is considerable travel from the
Alaskan country, customary at this time
of year, of residents who spend Summers
in the Far Nortn and come to a milder
climate in Winter. For some weeks there
has appeared on the registers of Portland
hotels names of guests registering from
towns and cities of Alaska, and the ma
jority of these are on their annual migra
tion to Oregon. Among the names of
prominent Alaskans registering at the
Hotel Portland yesterday are C. O.
Haines, of Kaialla. a man prominent in
political affalrij; Otta Halla and John A.
Webb, of Nomil. Desk men at the leading
hotels say that some falling off Is notice
able In the number of arrivals of "travel
ing men" for -the last few days, which
they attribute to the approaching elec
tion. These salesmen have their homes in
various parts of the oountry, and It is ex
plained that many of them have stopped
off to vote on their way to the Coast.
Even with this falling off there is said
to be a demand for sample-rooms in
excess of the accommodation afTorded by
the principal hotels. One hotel clerk made
the remark yesterday that some drum
mers would rather miss their vote than
miss a chance for a sale, and that ac
counted in some measure for the demand
tor sample-rooms.

MISS ALBERTA COREY COMES
TO PHYSICAL DEPARTMENT.
New Director Lays Plans of Instruc
tion Along Lines In Which She
Is Experienced.
Miss Alberta Corey, the new physical di
rector of the Portland Y. W. C. A., ar
rived during the week .from her home in
Barberton, Iowa, and Is now busily en
gaged in formulating plans for her depart
ment. The schedule of gymnasium classes
Is now being arranged and will be pub
lished shortly. It is planned to begin the
work of the physical department as soon
after the new building is ready for occu
pancy, as. possible. . ..
Miss Corey has had wide experience in
the conduct of gymnasium work for wom
en. She Is a graduate of Oberlin Col
lege and of Its physical training depart
ment. She has also had instruction ur.der
the leading physical directors of Boston.
After completing her courses' Miss Coray
became Instructor of physical Instruc
tion in the Oberlin College training schooL
For a number of years she was head of
the physical department In the Harlenu
New x'ork City, Y. W. C. A.
"The aim of our work will be healthy
symmetrical development, poise, and 'bod
ily control," said Miss Corey yesterday.
"In. addition to the work with the gym
nasium apparatus a portion of the time
will be devoted to Swedish gymnastics
with Indian clubs, dumb bells and wands.
Folk dancing will , also be taught. This
will include dances peculiar to the people
of various countries. These dances will be
a feature of the work of each class and
will be given partly for recreation .and
partly for ' their value in acquiring a
graceful carriage, , good posture, and
proper development. 4
"Gymnasium work for women is now
one of the established departments in
most associations. For a time it was
looked upon as a fad and In some in
stances was carried to extreme. There
was - a consequent - disapproval on the
part of conservative people. It is now
generally conceded that a woman needs
exercise as much as a man does, on the
score of health. A woman may ' keep well
without physical exercise and It is true
housework provides exercise ' in some
measure. But this will not answer all
requirements. Women need exercise un
der direction -of one who can guide them
in the matter of breathing and general
poise and carriage and to correct f&ulty
postures."

moved to Rock Island County, Illinois.

year he crossed the plains, end late in
the Fall he arrived in Jackson County,
Southern Oregon. To dig gold near Jack
sonville was his first employment, and

vice as City Marshal of HiJlsboro. In
addition to the children mentioned he is
survived by his widow, four grandchil
dren and two great-grandchildren.
