That's what the housewife said
when she had used the
"Free"
Sewing Machine
for a week. She had bought it here
on easy terms of credit, paying
i$1.00 a Week
There was a reason for her enthu
siasm. The "Free" is the newest
and most up-to-date sewing ma
chine on the market and from the
marvelous results and lisrhtninjr
needlework that it gives it
is the cheapest of all high
grade sewing machine3.
To say that this Buffet special is
"unusual" is expressing it mild
ly. It is 'positively one of the
greatest values Powers ' has of
fered on goods of this quality. "We were fortunate in securing a num
ber ofrthese at an unusual price reduction on the wholesale cost and
are offering them this week at an unusually special price. These Buf
fets are 42 inches in width and extra deep, measuring 21 inches. ' The

drawer extending the full width of case and double-door storage com
partment below. The top is fitted with a plate rail and has a French
plate mirror, 8x34 inches. Both fumed and golden wax are offered
at this price. .

PORTLAND flowers are bursting
into blooms to nod their fragrant
heads in welcome to quests at the
second annual Autumn Flower -Show to
be held in the Armory Tuesday and
Wednesday1, November. 11 and 12.
Greenhouses. , nurseries and gardens
are at .the very zenith of their Autum
nal glory. Specially . nno flowers are be
ingr grown for showpurposes; a number
of blossoms never before seen in Port
land will be displayed, visitors from
San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver
are planning to bring choice flowers;
there will be an interesting exhibit
from the State Agricultural College. In
short, everything points to an Autumn
Show of 1913 that will eclipse any
thing of Its kind ever held In the north
west. Chrysanthemums, always the crown
ing feature of an Autumn Show, will
be exhibited by the thousand, and in
every imaginable color and size. Espe
cially fine will be the little cluster
"mums," which are just now coming
Into their own as decorative flowers for
tables. Then there will be the big
snowballs, the ivory-tinted ones, the
lavender, the yellow and the pink and
richest of all are the red and russet
shaggy ones. There will be chrysanthe
mums 12 inches in diameter surmount
ing stems six feet in length.
Roses to Have IMuce.
The queenly rose is sure to come in
for its share' of admiration,- for there
will be magnificent displays of the
Bride and Bridesmaid roses, the ruby
tinted Richmond, the ever-lovely Amer
ican Beauty and the new Prima Donna
and the Mrs George Shawyer.
- Probably there are more carnations
grown in and about Portland than any
other one blossom, with the exception
of the rose. The spicy "pink" is beloved
by everyone and this demand is provid
ed for by means of many . hot-houBes
which hold nothing but carnations of
many hues. The pure white ones are
especially fine this year. Then there
are the yellow ones, the always beau
tiful pink "Enchantress" and then the
rose-pink ones, and last of all the deep
crimson ones, whose petals look like
velvet. Carnations require a great deal
of care in the way of cultivation, irri
gation and training, and just now the
attendants go up and down the long
paths of the houses and snip off all of
the buds save the best-looking one,
thus forcing all of the strength of the
plant into a single blossom.
Orchids Give Promise.
The orchid display, which will include
20 or more varieties, gives promise of
being one of the most notable of the
show. Orchids, coming as they do from
the jungles and swamps of the tropics,
and being procured under great dif
ficulties, are the rarest and most ex
pensive of all flowers, retailing for 1
apiece. Their delicacy and beauty are
so great, however, that they are much
in demand, and one Portland florist has
$5000 invested in orchids alone.
Potted begonias will constitute an
interesting exhibit. The smaller species
is known as the Glory de Lorraine and
the larger and more robust one is the
Glory of Cincinnati. The quaint-shaped
cyclamen blossoms will be much In evi
dence, and in all colors from pure white
to deep red.
Lilies of the valley, violets and other
smaller and more delicate flowers also
will be displayed in considerable quan
tities. Thousands of potted palms,
ferns and shrubs will form an ideal
background for the display of the
blooms.
In addition to the awarding of $2000
in cash -prizes and the grand silver lov
ing cup, which is offered for the most
unique and interesting exhibit, the
prizes for the Summer garden contest
will be awarded. The show will be

WORK AT MINE IS PUSHED
Portland Men Inspect Coal Proper
ties Xenr Clichalis, Wash.
CHEHALIS, Wash., Nov. 1. (Spe
cial.) The Monarch Coal Company,
which was recently organized to de
velop property near Kopiah in the
Hanaford Valley, is active, and will
push operations at once. Sunday a
party of Portland capitalists who own
the properties visited the mines. At
present 80 tons of coal are being mined
dally, but it is planned to increase this
to upwards of 100 tons daily immedi
ately, and as further rooms are opened
so that more coal can be mined the out
put will be largely increased. The
vein now being worked is from eight
and one-half to nine feet in thickness.
The other veins, one four and one-half
feet and one 14 feet, are also on the
property. The coal is high-grade lig
nite. The Monarch Company has built a
track to its bunkers at the mine and
has all arrangements so made that the
output can be handled at a minimum
of cost. The bulk of the output of the
mine is shipped to . British. Columbia,
local mine owners in . the Chehalis and
Centralia district finding recently that
the extended coal strike in that coun
try is of advantage to them In afford
ing a strong demand for the Washing
ton product.
The Portland owners who made a
visit to the mine Sunday included Con
rad P. Olson, president; F. W. Lone
gren, secretary-treasurer; Frank Anderson,-Dr.
Karl Swenson, Arthur Llnd.
Luther Hessler, D. E. Lofgren, R. P..
Duniway, C. E. Cunningham and C. J.

taining the officials of the concern on
their inspection of the mine.

there for & long period and will make
a specialty of raising polo ponies.
Roads Are Improved.
MONMOUTH, Or., Nov. 1. (Special.)
Several carloads of gravel have been
hauled to the roads west of this city.
In one place, where the road is usually
bad in the Winter, the gravel has been
heavily laid. Gravel-loaders at Inde
pendence fill the cars rapidly and this
has proved to be the best way to get
the gravel from the . river bottom
quickly.
Sunday Rest Law Is Urged.
AURORA. 111.. Nov. 1. A city ordi-
nance compelling all men who work for
a living to rest on Sunday will be pre-
