The election was the standard excuse in all lines of
business for those who wished to procrastinate. The
election is over, the country is safe and sound. Can
vou say as much for j-our teeth ? If you need any work
have it done at once, before the cold winds make your
teeth ache, or if you have only a couple of teejh left, we
will attach a bridge, without a plate, that is the next
best thing to sound, natural teeth. When yon must have'
a plate, we'fit you perfectly. We only supply the best
work you will find it the cheapest.

GDNTHIBUTIONS-TO
FESTIVAL DOUBLED
Department Stores Recognize
Worth of Annual Feast
of Roses.
LETTERS ARE ENCOURAGING
Tell .How Fame tf Portland Is
spread ThrotiRh East by June
Show and Think Object Is
Worthy of Their Support.
As evidence of their appreciation of
the value of the advertising powers of
the Portland Rose Festival idea, the
two leading department stores of this
cltv, the Meier & Frank Company and
Olds. Wortman & King, have each
doubled their subscriptions to the gen
eral fund over that of a year ago. Last
vear Meier & Frank gave "00 and
Olds, Wortman & King pledged $40Q.
This year the former house has sent
In its check for' $1000 and the latter
establishment will give $Si0. making
a total of I1S00 to the fund from the
two houses.
The subscriptions were made vonm
tarilv. but when the matter was orig
InallV brought to their attention, they
decided that they would make no
promises until after the Presidential
election. The department store man
agers held a meeting to discuss the
appropriations which they would make
last Wednesday, and after another con
ference, held at noon yesterday, it was
decided by the two big firms that they
could well afford to multiply their do
nation by 100 per cent. The heads of
the houses not only sent In their sub
scriptions, hut enclosed very flattering
letters commendatory of the Festival
scheme.
The following communication was
received from the Meier &' Frank
Company with its gift of $1000;
Ralph W. Hnvt. rrldrnt Port I And Rom
FVntUal lear Sir: Th Mier A Frank Com
pany takea pismire in doubling Its former
contribution to the Rote Festival fund. In
ched plee find our subscription fr $1100.
The Ritif Festival ha advertised Port
land favorably th world over, and has
done a irreat deal to upbuild the "Rose
t'i'v and to Increase Its population.
Not Ion since when a member of this
Arm was in New York, and other prominent
Kamfrn cities, reporters of the metropol
itan newspapers sought Interviews with htm
and printed l-nthr articles about the won
tiers of iu'uy and the Ort-pon country.
The reporter were familiar with the news
of our annual fleets and abundance of
flowers. Thy readily understood climatic
conditions that can produv beautiful roses
on the lawn ami in th parti en every
month of the year. It was a consensus of
their opinion that Orepon Is an ideal place
in which to live, and that Portland la cer
tainly an attractive plaoe.
It was a very areaf surprise to know that
nearly every one with whom the member
f our firm conversed was well-informed
n the subject of Portland's profusion of
flowers and its annual week of festival. The
Jrtrt words sent out by the Associated Press
on "Hse Ptantinp da v." February ?2. at
tracted almost universal attention, and had
that publicity been paid for at current rates
It would haw? cost not less than JSno.OAO.
The Meier A Frank Company, therefore,
contributes cheerfullv to the cause that has
so much of beautiful sentiment, prosperity
ami happiness, that has resulted In making
Portland as far-f;rred for Its wealth of
rvse and rlimato as Tokio Is noted for Its
eherrr bloexm papeants and New Orleans
itm Mardi Grai.
With best wishes for a prand and suc
cessful celebration next June, we pledpe
to do ewrythin in our power to con
summate the promised dream of splendor.
Yours earnestly.

ubscriptJon. it Is done wiiTi a feelinp that It
Is one nf the best In vest men ts we can
make. lookinr at it purely In a selfish way.
as our business was more than doubled dur
Inp the last festival week.
But. takinp a morv comprehensive and

and general welfare of both the city and
state: for It seems to us certain that at
tention to our wonderful rsourca and
matchless climate cannot be drawn to the
attention of Kastern people In a more force-f-il.
and at the same tune a more apreeable
way. than Throuph th' medium of our an

annual rose display, once a favorable im

OLDS. WORTMAN & KINO.
Per H. C. Wortman.
With this start on the part of the
leading retail houses of the city the
management of the Festival feels that
it will be able to arouse interest in
kindred lines to the extent of secur
ing not under $75,000 for the general
fund.
Voluntary solicitors have been work
ing quietly among the merchants and
other business interests for the past
two weeks, and they have been able
to secure actual subscriptions and
promises which aggregate $20,000 as
a nucleus for the fund.
With this much in sight the special
soliciting committees will begin work
in earnest tomorrow and will continue
rounding up the subscriptions until the
total amount specified shall have been
acquired.
The words of James J.' Hill at the
Xorth Bank banquet, in which he com
mented on the fact that no other city
in the country could boast of so many
rose gardens in full bloom at this
time of year, together with the laud
atory speech of President Howard El
liott, of the Northern Pacific, In which
he said that nowhere In all his trav
els had he witnessed such a floral dis
play and street pageantry as was given
last June, had a most powerful influ
ence on the business men who were
gathered at the big celebration. ;
It is expected that this will mate
rially assist in reaching the fund re
quired at an early date.
Every effort will be made through
all possible agencies of publicity to
secure an attendance of 200.000 out-of-town
visitors during the Festival of
next year.

Purinaf the year the main achieve

Option Taken by Prominent Demo
crat Some Weeks Ago Is Con
summated AVIien Continued
Prosperity Assured Country.
. Another big deal in the northern end
of the city was closed yesterday, though
an optional sale was made some weeks
ago. The half block, 30x3)0, on the west
side of Seventh street, between Glisan
and Hoyt streets, was secured by W. G.
McPherson and associates through the
agency of Jackson & Deering, and the
deed names $75,000 as the consideration. -
Tiie ground is vacant, but it is un
derstood the new owners will erect a
building to suit a desirable tenant, either
of brick or reinforced concrete. The Hoyt
street end of the lot is probably the more
valuable, but at all events Mr. McPher
son was offered $40,000 for that portion of
the property as soon as it became known
that he and his associates had an option
on the piece.
Considering valuations placed ' on simi
larly located properties in the vicinity,
tlrn price at which this sale was made is
considered somewhat of a bargain, despite
the fact that the three former owners of
the half block made quite a handsome
profit In their holdings.
Some of Mr. Mcpherson's personal
friends are having a bit of fun at his ex
pense since the deal was closed up. ac
cusing him of holding off until satisfied
that Bryan had no chance of election. He
takes the chaffing good-naturedly, but
insists that, being a good Democrat, he
voted his party ticket at the recent elec
tion. He appears to be well satisfied to
have the deal come through, for he
shouldered his gun yesterday and started
out on a hunting expedition.
Whatever may be the opinion of Mr.
McPherson on the subject, the fact re
mains that an option was taken on the
deal some weeks ago and was promptly
closed when the result of the election be
came known. There is little doubt that
a tenant will soon come forward and
make a proposition to lease a modern
warehouse building or similar structure,
in which event another important building
will be added to that district of the city.
SPEAKS TODAY AT Y. M. C. A.
II. Leslie Broadbridge,' Authority on
Salesmanship, to Give Address.
H. Leslie Broadbridge, of Boston, Mass.,
who has gained a reputation as an au
thority on salesmanship, will speak at the
Y. M. C A. men's meeting Sunday after
noon. He spoke to a gathering of promi
nent business men of Portland last week,
and was Induced to remain in Portland
until after today's meeting.
Mr. Broadbridge has devoted years of
study to the business of salesmanship.
It is his contention that the average
man uses hut 35 per cent of his power,
and that this is accountable for the fail
ure made by many salesmen. He be
lieves that when men recognize that they
have such qualities as initiative, imagina
tion, memory and good judgment and the
value of these to their employers, they
will begin to cultivate their latent powers
and thus be in a position to dispose of
their Mhility at a higher price. It is his
contention that, regardless of the cry of
hard times, there never was such a de
mand by the larger concerns of the coun
try for men of ability. The quality, he
says, will determine the price.

Each .dealer who has a range to sell
claims to have the only one you should
buy because his reasons would fill a

How can you tellt Just try this
TEST:
Go into any store where there are
ranges for sale, tell the dealer you
have one of his make which you have
used for several years. Say you wish
to dispose of it, and ask him what
he will give you for it. His answer
will indicate at once what he thinks
ranire will be worth after use.
Try this test at our store. It will prove to you at least that we are
willing to back up our goods with our money. The answer at our store
is: If you have a Monarch Malleable Kange we will give you thirty
dollars for it. .
THE KEASON WHY we will give $30 is that a Monarch is worth more
than that, no matter how long you have used it. Other dealers cannot
do this because their ranges are not worth so much after they have
been used.
