of shopworn floor samples and goods marred in transit. It will
display at all times underpriced merchandise of good quality at a
generous saving to the purchaser. Shopworn pieces from the
various departments will be shown only in the space provided for
goods of this character, and as "AZ-IZ" prices mean the very low
est prices, this announcement is of great importance to those who
desire to economize.

This Is the Gas Range That's Now Being Used
in Over 5000 Portland Homes A-B Sanitary
From
S16.50
to S1S5.00
Do not make the mistake ot put
ting the ordinary gas range in your
kitchen, for it costs less to operate
a good range than a poor one. The
Datent burners of the A-B Sanitary
consume 25 per cent more air than
most gas ranges and the air costs
nothing. Then, again, they are so
easily cleaned no blacking is re
quired, just wash with a damp cloth.
The polished steel body will look as
bright and as new as ever. The sani
tary base, the rust-proof oven and
the porcelain linings are all fea
tures you cannot overlook.

BV ANNE SHANNON MONROE.
OCCIDENTAL. Cal., Feb. 17. (Spe
cial Correspondence). If ever in
a cross-country hike you should
feel that you' are having too much of
an "adventure in contentment," and
really want to start something, just in
quire, casually, of any one, providing
there is an audience, how far it is
to the next stopping point. I can
guarantee you more excitement in the
next half hour than you can conven
iently take care of. It is our regular
greeting now. We don't say, "Good
morning," or "A fine day." or any of
those inanities. We just say,. How
far is it to Smiths, or Browns or
Jones'." as the case may be, and wait
for the fire works. We are never dis
appointed. ' .
Behold us. hiking Mazamas, approach
a mountain inn. It is perched on a
hillside, and looks deserted and gray.
A dog runs out to greet us, barking.
The front door is open. We stop, sling
our packs to the ground, and step on
to the porch. We look in; a sleepy,
bearded man is snoozing by a half-dead
fire a youngish whistling chap is shav
ing before a small cracked mirror and
another is filling hie pipe, a gun by
his knee, evidently bent on a hunt.
No one notices us much: a perfectly
casual thing, this, four strangers drop
ping in. We enter, we draw up to the
fire. The snoozing man nods, and a
woman bustles in from the kitchen.
Yes, we can have dinner. She bustles
out.' She is buxom and good-looking.
Question I Anked.
"By the way." casually, very cas
ually one of us opens conversation.
"How far is it to Big Hollow?"
The snoozing man rouses, he yawns,
"Oh. a matter of 10 miles, say."
The smoking man removes his pipe.
"Here, it s IT if it's a mile!" There is
energy in the protest, ominous energy.
But it Is nothins' to the potentialities
In the shaving man's countenance as
he turns, all lathered, to us.
"Seventeen!" he sniffs over the lather.
"I've got buildings down that way!
Counting straight by townships it's 14
and one-tenth exact!"
They're off. The snoozer is awake,
the pipe goes out, the lather dries!
"It's ten always has been ten."
"It's H and one-tenth by the sur
veyor's figures, and I guess he 'durn
well' knows!"
"It's 17 according to the stage driver
and-I guess he's gone over it oftener
than any other man in these parts."
"I've got buildings down them and 1
can prove by a map In my trunk ."
All Three Figures Set Down.
It doesn't matter what he can prove.
We put all three figures in our note
books and thoroughly enjoy ourselves
until the buxom high priestess of the
kitchen comes in and tells us we ran
"draw up." We have the bet of the
dinner, for we only eat, while the
arguers go on arguing, right through
stacks of fried chicken, hot biscuit and
cream gravy: and when we leave the
place an hour later, the calm of the
mountain Inn on which we descended
is wholly destroyed.
It never falls: no two persons in a
community ever have come within three
miles of agreeing upon the distance to
the next stopping place, and we know
they never will. Our method, when a
semblance of exact knowledge Is neces
sary is to Btrilce an average. But we
shali positively refuse to enter into
any discussion of distances with any
future hikers who may cover our trail,
or with any who. having covered it
before us, disputes our figures. Have
it your own way. Haven't we seen
where discussion leads, and we wish to
remain on terms of friendship with al!
followers of the beaten trail.
AVorst Storm Mrlkes.
California's worst storm of the Win
ter struck u at Point Arena, a town
of in saloonn and iuO InliaMUnts. but
thriving.
The storm finally droe into "
Inn Just below Gualnln, on a p'lnt over,
looking the oean, and kept th"
a couple of days.
It seemed that the wind never wouH
cease blowing. Our big genial hoit
forbade us to venture out In It. mmi
further beguiled us with d.-llclous IU1
Un dishes, a roaring fire and every com
fort. Sin i linm-ttl has done well In
California, so well that he sent hi
beautiful dsughter back to Italy lt
year after plvlng her a good Amerlran
education. .She played for lis.
cooked for u. and entertsined us with
stories of he travels, and at night th
Italian men gathered In their quarter,
sang for us and little did we mind th
howling gale.

Just below Gualala on a promontory

Her f.itl"-r. CHptnln oethall, went

the first vessel to strike the treaohei

daughter has kept watch on the point,

signal to every craft which passes.
Nearly il the captains know her and
