EACH DAY For 20 Years . We have served the public faithfully, giving them full weight, full . measure and an honest dollar in merchandise for every dollar left at our store. At the CLOSING OF OUR BUSINESS we want to V thank our many friends and customers for the generous treatment which they have always shown us, and at this great sale we want to do even better than we ever have before. For that reason, at this great sale of Furniture we will give our customers TWO BIG DOLLARS in merchandise, for every dollar left with us at this sale. Wishing our friends to receive the full benefit of our loss, which must necessarily occur at the winding up of so large a business. WE HAVE POSITIVELY REFUSED TO CLOSE OUT THIS STOCK TO DEALERS,, as we have been requested to do, to save it from being thrown on the market and the consequent lowering of prices. Goods will be sold for cash only and must be paid for at time of purchase. No deposits will be received for later deliveries, and no goods will be sent out C. 0. D. We must insist on this, as we have reduced our working force as much as possible to save the purchasers all we can, and we keep no books. Our Carpets We will sell at less than cost of the raw material to save you money. We will quote prices in the piece or cut off. If you want them made and laid, will fur nish you a man at cost. Our Ranges Are the best in the market and to save you every cent we can, take them as we received them from the factory and they are yours at less than the cost at the factory. - Warning As we have been asked to close out our stock in bulk to dealers, which we have positively refused to do, it will naturally call forth many fake sales. This is positively, the only furniture house in the city that is retiring from business. Our Furniture As we have only a plain, honest statement to make to you, and as we have no baits to offer or traps laid to mislead you, we have not filled this ad with pictures of $100 buffets at $40, but simply ask you to see for yourself we'll demonstrate to your satisfaction ...

REEVES TAKES UP NEW DUTIES. W ill Prepare Abundance of Detailed Information lor Easterners Who Make Inquiries. VANCOUVER, Wash., April 10. (Spe cial.) J. M. Reeves, the new manager of the publicity department of the Com mercial Club, is hard at work organiz ing what he calls his - "Information Fund." This fund will be a collection of all available facts with regard to Clark County's commercial. Industrial and agricultural advantages. Everv one will be given an opportunity to contribute to this fund, and when all the .information Is gathered Mr. Reeves proposes to classify It, publish some In pamphlet form and keep some of It to answer In detail the inquiries from homeseekers that are pouring into his office. Speaking of the advantages of Clark County, Mr. Reeves said: "To anyone headed westward In search of a location for business, or for fertile land suitable for every line of agriculture, all that is necessary to attract him towajd Vancouver and Clark County is to 'show him the map." "It doesn't take long to convince an Eastern man that Vancouver holds the strongest position of any city in the country from an industrial standpoint, and it is this formidable' positioti that makes her growth substantial and cer tain. "Show any man what " the land of Clark County la producing': how it is protected on thw north and east by highlands cutting- off the fierce winds from these directions, and if he knows anything about soil he'll plant his for tune in Clark County land.

Lee Hurd, Student in Engineering Department, Busy With New Invention. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Or.. April 10. (Special.) Lee Hurd, 1 senior, and captain of the baseball team, has started construction of a flying machine of , the gilder type. Hurd has received plans and intends to hurry construction as fast, as his spire time will permit. The plans call for an aerial craft after the fashion of the heavier-than- air machines, but. built on a much smaller scale. A glider proceeds against the wind, depending upon the oncoming breeze to keep the vessel aloft. To ascend In one of these small airships the starting place must be an elevation such as a hill or a housetop.- The navigator is supported by two horizontal bars and steers the ma chine by shifting his , weight from side to side. The youthful aeronaut is construct ing the flying machine in the' wood work department of the University. Ac cording to specifications, - two planes will be built, each 26 feet in length. The framework of the planes will be constructed out of straight-grained spruce lumber, which will equal In size as near as possible the point of maxi mum strength, with the minimum weight. No material will be used which is more than 14, Inches In width and H inch in thickness. The framework will be braced with No. 14 or 15 piano wire. Unbleached muslin will be stretched over this skeleton. The mus lin will then be treated with a prep aration consisting of a slack and rub ber compound, which makes the cloth both air and water tight. The mixture Is applied in a very thin coating, just thick enough thoroughly to fill the pores of the cloth. Hurd's major course Is mechanical and electrical engineering. His aspi rations toward aerial navigation have led him to specialize in internal com bustion engines, especially those types which present the maximum power at the minimum weight. Next Winter Mr. Hurd plans to go East, either to In dianapolis or Detroit, which are the centers of the gas engine industry. PUBLIC MARKET IS OPENED Interest Shown In New Enterprise at First and Washington. "With but few unoccupied stalls, and most of these leased, the Washington Public Market at First and Washing ton streets yesterday opened its doors. with every Indication of complete suc cess. -Large crowds visited the mar ket throughout the day and inspected the products attractively displayed in the various stalls. The arrangement of these is excellent. The lighting and ventilation are also well provided for. If the market maintains the standard indicated by the produce displayed there yesterday, it should become pop ular with Portland housewives. The market will be open from 8 A. M. to 6:30 P. M. on week days and from 8 A. M. to 10 P. M. on Saturdays. General Manager T. R. Robe and his assistant. "W. S.

The building is owned by the Broadacre Farm Products Company and was start ed fast January. The structure occu pies a. full quarter block and cost 825,-000. with meals on dining-cars. As a result the table d'hote war which hasraged for some time among the railroads between Chicago and .the Twin Cities and be tween Chicago and Kansas City has come -to an end. The war started as a measure of competition to attract busi ness, but. according to the general pas senger agents, it was a dismal failure.
