FLEET NEEDED ON COAST

Naval Constructor Evans.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 27. Naval
Constructor Holden A. Evans, of Mare
Island, speaking at a. banquet given
by the Rotary Club in this city, de
clared it was absolutely necessary to
maintain a powerful fleet In Pacific
Waters. He said:
v "The Pacific Coast is especially vul
nerable and can only be defended by a
powerful fleet. Without such a fleet
:an enemy can raid the coast, destroy
commerce and effect landings at many
places. The acquisition of the Philip
pines and the Hawaiian.. Islands has

McMurray Says Advertising
Helped to Bring It About.
CHICAGO, March 27. (Special.) Of
ficials of the Harriman lines declare that
the colonist movement into the Northwest
during March and April bids fair to break
all records. The estimate is 70,000 as
against 38,000 for the Harriman lines last
year during these two months.
The record movement over the Harri
man roads for these two months was in
1907, when 68.300 colonists traveled over
the system's lines. Last year's poor show
ing was due not only to the financial de
pression, but to the fact that there had
been a slight Increase in the colonist
rate. This year the rates have- been put
back to $33.
William McMurray, general passenger
agent of the Harriman lines in Oregon,
said last night that this report was
rapidly being verified by local reports
made to the general office here. He said
for the last three weeks about 1500 more
colonists arrived In Oregon than for the
corresponding three weeks of last year.
In figuring colonist travel, the companies
do not take Into consideration round-trip
business, such as will be largely aug
mented when the Seattle fair opens.
Mr; McMurray gave it as his opinion
that the great increase In colonist travel
this month so far, and which is certain to
continue through April, and be taken up
in the Fall, when the low rates again will
be in force, namely J33 from Chicago and
$25 from Missouri River points, can be
credited to the admirable system of com
munity advertising that has been done
by the towns and cities of Oregon. He
said that on his recent trip East ho
looked Into the matter carefully and Is
convinced that Oregon was never so well
known in that part of the country as
now. He added that agents of the com
panies reported to him a better class of
colonists have" come to this state or are
arranging to come than during any pre
vious year.
These have received printed matter
from the various commercial bodies of
the state and promotion associations, to
gether with the information furnished by
the railroad 'companies, the result being
that they are thoroughly posted on the
resources of the state and come fully In
formed about what to expect. . He said
colonists have improved in another re
spect. Where, for the past few years,
numbers of colonists arrived in the state
with hardly enough money to keep them
going until they found employment, the
rule now is that these people are pos
sessed of sufficient means either to buy
lands or a business for themselves and
are much more well-to-do than formerly
was the - case.
Mr. MoMurray said the estimate made
from Chicago, In comparison with the
travel in 1897, was quite under the mark,
from every indication, and he confidently
asserts that this year will greatly exceed
that of any preceding year.

FURNISHING GOODS K 13 difficult for a tastv dresser to be assured
that he is getting the very latest in neckwear,
gloves, socks and other wearing apparel, owing to the fact that Portland haberdashers
buy from six months to one year in advance of the time they receive their shipments.
Our buyer just returned from New York, and, as a result, has a stock of furnishing goods
about six months in advance of other stocks in Portland. It will be the policy of thi3
company to keep six months in advance of all the rest, and the prices of these goods will
be popular and lower than those usually charged by other merchants.

The building that we now occupy at the corner of Third and Washington streets having to

It is needless to remind you that our stock is one of the largest and best selected, and includes
