Good Furniture Is the Only Kind
It Pays to Buy at Any Price
Scores of furniture sales are held each year in Portland, one of them
happens every day or so. But are YOU interested in them? Hardly.
They don't offer what you want to buy. YOU don't want a $50 imi
tation mahogany 5-piece parlor set at $25. YOU are not worried by the
announced sacrifice of impossible morris chairs or near-brass beds.
You want furniture that you will never be ashamed of and that will serve your children's
needs when you are gone. Such furniture

result of the storm. The tracks were
open In all directions, with the e
ceptlon of a snort strip, near Bonneville
on the O.-W. R- N- main line, which
was cleared late last night.
S- f-ir as the railroads were con
cerned the damaee wrought by the
storm centered Itself In the Immediate
vicinity of Portland. It did not extend
much farther south than 6alem. The
Upper Willamette Valley had plenty of
rain, but Ice did not form on the wires.
The sleet did not extend east of the
Cascades nor north of Kalama. on the
1'usret Sound line.
To send a telegraph message from
Portland to Seattle yesterday It was
necessary to make connection through
fan Francisco and Chicago, forming; a
circuit of approximately 63:5 miles to
cover a distance of 156 miles.
Trains Ran Vaster Flag Service).
Wires used for dispatching the North
ern Pacific. O.-W. K. at N. and Great
Northern trains between Portland and
Seattle were broken and trains were
compelled to run from station to sta
tion under flags.
These are two typical results of the
storm. There are numerous other con
sequences that Illustrate what the rail,
roads and telegraph companies In this
territory believe la the worst situation
they ever have been called upon to
face.
Wire service to the north, east and
south was paralyzed last night, except
ing at Intervale. The Postal maintained
north and west connection with Seat
tle and Astoria, and thla at that time
was the only wire In commission.
Preaa IVtrea AaTecteaV
Th Associated Press wires went
down early In th evening. With them
went th service of th Pacific. Tele
phone Company, aa they use the same
wire between here and San Francis
co. The Western Union service waa
pat out of commission late In the aft
ernoon. An occasional flash waa ob
tained from San Francisco and one In
while from the East, bnt could not
ba relied upon for th transmission
of means gas.
Train service between Portland and
the East suffered more than that be
tween this city and Seattle and thla
ctty and th south. The Shasta Lim
ited, on the Southern Pacific, arrived
here on time yesterday afternoon and
left on time for the north.
The Roseburg local train cam into
the Union Depot half an hour late. The
main line of the Southern Paclfle did
not suffer greatly, although the West
Side and Tamhlll divisions were badly
crippled by wire trouble. Telegraph
wires on th West Side went down and
made dispatching; of trains Impossible.
Roads Rant naffer.
Service east of Portland on both the
North Bank and O.-W. It. at jj. roads
suffered. In addition to the special
train bearing the party of Canadian
the Pendleton local waa held at Bon
neville. No. 17. the Oregon-Washington
Limited, from Chicago, due here at
o'clock last night, had not arrived ear
ly this morning. The east bound serv
ice was better. No. It, leaving here
for Chicago yesterday, passed through
Umatilla all right last night and had
a good track ahead.
The O.-W. K. N. Co. had a snow
plow at work between Portland and
The Dalles and succeeded In cutting
through the snowbank at tha worst
places.
The suburban electric Unas quit op
erations laat night, but a fores of men
waa put to work to repair tha wires
with the hope of resuming service to
day. TAXICAB ORDERS ARE 3IAXY
Demand for Auto Convejanoea Is
More Than Supply.
Wbn the streetcars failed yester
day, taxlcab business beiran to rush at
such a rate that by i o'clock practically
every taxieab anil carriage in the city
was enjeafred for the rest of the night.
At the taxtcab headquarters huntlreds

usual atmospheric conditions. It ex

ley and Into Western Washington be
tween the Cascades and the Coast
Range.
Foreran Hot Bsessrsglsg.
Vnlesa relief comes this morning It
is said streetcar service will have to
be abandoned on many lines and busi
ness will be at a standstill. No defi
nite promise Is made by District Fore
caster Beals, who predicts rain and
warmer weather. He said last night
that "warmer weather- means prob
ably only a few degrees of change. He
says he expects the mercury to hover
near the freexlnar point. In which event
the conditions likely will not be re
lieved. Sleet began to fall about o'clock
yesterday morning, when trouble was
reported first by the streetcar com
pany. The slippery tracks and the Icy
trolley wires delayed the service soon
after the early morning start was
made, and before noon no further ef
fort was being made by the company
to maintain a schedule. At noon the
.tr.rn waa Tnore severe. The sleet
froze to the trolley wires and cut off
tiie circuit between the wire and the
trolley wheeU The cars were at a
standstill for some time while the
wheels were being- taken from the trol
ley poles. This had no sooner been
done than power troublea began.
Fewer Wires Break.
The heavy coating of Ice on the high
tension wires connecting the Caxadero
power plant with the central station
broke the wires In severai places.
Steam plants had to be brought into
service and the cars were operated on
limited schedules for tha rest of the
day. For an bour In the afternoon
there were no cars, and hundreda of
persons had to walk to their homea.
In the early evening a large part of the
kuterurban service had to be discon
tinued, and hundreds of residents either
remained In town or walked home.
The heavy coats of Ice began to
noon and before midnight nearly every
street whleh heretofore has been graced
with shade trees was strewn with
branches. Many trees were uprooted
completely and toppled Into the street,
carrying with them telephone and elec.
tiic'-llght wires.
SOS Poles Topple.
More than 200 poles fell Into the
street as a result of a stiff freezing
breese which sprang up In the heaviest
fall of sleet in the evening. The poles
took the wires with them and telephone
service was cut off from several
thousand homes as a consequence.
In districts where falling trees and
poles did not pull down the elecuic
llght wires the residents were not fur
nished with lights because of the limit
ed amount of power available. The
entire up-town section was furnished
with power but It was Impossible to
supply all the residence districts either
with house or street lights.
Vast damage has been done in the
City Park by the breaking of shrubbery
and trees. A force of gardeners and
laborers was busy all day beating the
sleet and Ice from the buahes and trees
and bracing and wrapping the
branches, but the work could not be
done fast enough to prevent damage.
Wreekase Litters Street.
Belmont street Is littered for blocks
with trees, poles and wlrea. Large
branches were broken off beautiful
trees and fell Into th street. Near
Mount Tabor a dozen telephone poles
were precipitated into the road with
a network of wlrea connecting more
than 100 homes with telephone service.
Hardly a street was spared by the
storm. Where beautiful shade trees
appeared Friday now only splintered
stumps covered thickly with ioe may
be seen. The falling trees became so
thick on soroo streets that men had
to be sent out with axes to clear the
way for streetcars and pedestrians.
One of the scenes of ruin Is in the
district east of Grand avenue and north
of Weldler street, where nearly every
street is lined with fallen trees, poles
and wires. Hundrds of pretty shade
trees, but a fsw years old. were mashed
by the heavy coat of Ice. Streetcar
trafflo was blocked by the fallen trees
to such an extent that the cars final
ly had to be routed by way of Irvlngton
and it was with great difficulty that
they moved through that part of the
elty.
Plasa Blocks "offer.
Damage In the plaza blocks Is heavy.
Several trees were uprooted and oth
ers were stripped of big shapely
branches. Considerable damage waa
done shrubbery in Chapman Square.
Probably the most serious accident of
the day was that caused by a col
lapsing tree In front of the Ladd home,
on Seventh street between Jefferson
and Columbia streets. In which a new
automobile, owned by Dr. C. G. Sabln,
waa demolished. The car waa left at
the curb by Dr. Sabln while he en
tered the Kose-Krlend Apartments. He
had no sooner left the car when a huge
tree in front of the Ladd home toppled
onto the machine clear across the
street. The automobile was demolished.
Another tree on Jefferson street near
Sixth fell at t-ii o'clock and blocked
Jefferson street.
The streets all through the south
western part of town are littered with
the fallen trees and poles.
Another accident caused by the slip
pery streets occurred at Fourth and
Yamhill streets, when an automobile
belonging to the Journal collided with
a machine driven by Mr. Lewis, of
Whidden A Lewis. Both machines were
demolished, but no ons was hurt.
Maay Injured gllshtly.
Slight Injuries were sustained by
many persona In the residence districts
In the early evening when the trees and
polea were falling. J. 8. Mulhoun. who
lives near Mount Scott, was struck
by an electric light wire and knocked
down. He sustained slight burns about
the hands and face. Mrs. Allte Mo
Queen, who lives on Belmont street,
was struck by a fairing limb and was
bruised about the arms and shoulders.

Several other minor accidents were re
ported to the police. There were no
fatalities.
The amount of damage cannot be es
timated until today because of the gen
eral destruction which started early
last night and continued until late.
It was dangerous In the evening to
walk on the streets because of the falling-
trees and wires. Beyond the busi
ness district there were no street lights
and It waa almost Impossible In some
sections to pick a way through the
slippery Ice-coated branches of trees.
A source of trouble all day was the

because of the water which ran from

HILLSBORO, Or., Jan. . (Special.)
Again Is the Harrlman system at
tempting to "steal a march" on the Hill
lines. With the arrival here today of
Southern Pacific officials a franchise
was asked for an electrlo line running
Into the business districts of the city,
thus competing heavily with the Ore
gon Electric
That -the Harrlman officials are de
termined to enter competition with a
vengeance was evidenced when D. W.
Campbell. F. H. Burkholder and G. J.
B. Eddy, representing that line, imme
diately on arrival here In a private
car held conference with the City
Council.
The road asks right of way over
Sixth. Main and Northrange streets for
25 years, the proposed line entering the
city 200 feet west of the city park. If
the right is granted the road promises
to electrify as soon as possible and
complete the road within the year. A
majority of the Council Is In favor of
granting the franchise, and as a result
during the meeting today the franchise
asked passed Its second reading and
will be given its third reading at a
Council meeting this week.
The present Southern Pacific depot
is one-half mile from the business dis
trict of the city, but is determined
that it will secure better facilities in
Washington County's capital.

MAY BECOME A NATION
OF BEARDED WOMEN
If You Value Your Face, Beware of So-Called
Hair Removers.
They Cause a Soft Fuzz to Come Back a Stiff,
Bristly Beard.
It is the opinion of eminent authori
ties that If women continue to remove
superfluous hair with these question
able concoctions, pastes, powders and
so-called "liquid cures," which Invari
ably cause tho hair to grow out again
coarser and heavier after each re
moval, that It is only a question of
time when we will practically have a
nation of bearded women.
These concoctions and compounds
are made of quicklime or other cheap
Ingredients which tests have proven
only promote the growth of hair after
each removal.
If you do not mind the risk yon
take In using them, why pay twenty
five cents to one dollar or more for
them, when you can procure from any
drug store for five or Sen cents a suf
ficient quantity of the ingredientn to
last a year?
Of course, the Injury done by such
preparations does not manifest itself
with the first or second application,
but the real danger lies in the fre
quent or continued use of them.
It Is surprising that anyone should
use these uncertain means for remov
ing superfluous hair when there Is such
a thoroughly safe and logical method
as DeMlracle for removing these blem
ishes. Every women must realize that
when a soft fuzz Is removed by these
so-called depilatories the hair comes
back a stiff, bristly beard, which will
necessitate a much longer and more
persistent treatment with DeMlracle
than It would have otherwise required
if DeMlracle had been used before the
growth of hair had been stimulated by
thv2 use of them.
It Is needless to say that there are
several methods of deception practised
by the makers of these fake hair re
movers. Among them are those who
resort to making extravagant and im
possible claims in eensatlonal adver
tisements. Others who publish fake
"Beauty Article" advertisements.
Of them all, the meanest and most
contemptible are those fakers "who try
to delude the public by making a cow
ardly attack on the validity of quota
tions published from newspapers, maga
zines and testimonials.
Even If It were true, as they say,
that reliable publications could ba
bought .with money, these charlatans
would be the first to buy them In order
to lend an air of respectability to their
nefarious business. ,
As we know of' no other concern
whose depilatory is meritorious enough
to warrant such high indorsements, we
take It for granted that these malicious
statements are aimed at us; therefore,
for fear some false Impression may be
created among those who do not know
us. we have concluded to issue this
general challenge:
First We will forfeit One Thousand
Dollars If we cannot show the original
magazine, newspaper or letter from
which we quote.
Second We will forfeit another
Thousand Dollars if any other manu
facturer of a depilatory can show In
dorsements from the same publications
or from the same class of Physicians,
Surgeons and Dermatologists.
Third We will forfeit another Thou
Fifth and Stark
sand Dollars if It can be proven that
there is not more DeMlracle sold In
the Drug, Surgical Instrument and De
partment Stores than all the other de
pilatories combined.
Fourth We will forfeit still another
Thousand Dollars if any maker of a
depilatory can prove that their prepa
ration was subjected to the same ex
haustive tests that DeMlracle waa be
fore it was placed upon the market.
For years we have been cautioning
women agalnet being taken in by mis
leading advertisements. It Is rather
surprising that they should not profit
by their experience, particularly so be
cause the advertisements of these Im
postors appear only for a limited
period, and they are not discontinued
until the manufacturers have gotten
all they can out of the gullible public
As fast as one goes out of business
another springs up to take Its place,
and so It will continue so long as
women are willing to be humbugged.
The best and most convincing proof
that DeMlracle Is the only absolutely
reliable and trustworthy hair remover
ever perfected is that it has stood the
test of time. It was the greatest sell
ing depilatory ten years ago, and still
holds this enviable reputation.
Of all the hundreds of depilatories
that have been upon the market dur
ing these many years, De Miracle is the
only one you hear of today. This is
proof positive that It is the standard
depilatory ef the world.
There are still a few unprincipled
dealers who try to foster the eale of
their own depilatory or possibly some
other dangerous, worthless substitute
under another label, merely for a few
cents more profit. Usually, these are
cheap powders made of quicklime or
what they call hair solvents.
The only Inducement given to In
fluence the purchase of these substi
tutes is that "the hair will be easily
removed," but they are careful not. to
say that the hair will return stronger
with- subsequent applications.
Would It not be safer to patronize
dealers who do not employ such des
picable business methods? All repu
table ones recommend DeMlracle. know
ing it to be the most meritorious de
pilatory. After all, substitutes and imitations
are only the discarded experiments of
the original inventors, therefore, for
your own protection, when . you are
offered a 'just as good" refuse it, and
go to Llpman. Wolfe A Co., and you
win be given DeMlracle without argu
ment. No other depilatory was ever so
highly Indorsed as DeMlracle. It is the
only method which Is Indorsed by phy
sicians, surgeons, dermatologists, medi
cal Journals, prominent magazines and
newspapers.
' Remember, if every indorsement were
not genuine we could be compelled by
law to discontinue publishing them.
If you have not re. '. our 52 - page
booklet, write for it. It will be mailed,
