In fact our ambition is not so much to have the biggest business as it is to have the,best business in the city. If big ness comes, as it often does, from a policy of creating a new standard of quality, of thorough, progressive merchandising, then we accept bigness as the result of our efforts rather than the object of them. We succeed in giving young men something decidedly different and better in style and appearance than is to be found elsewhere. Our goods don't run t othe absurd or eccentric; but they are chock full of originality, of new features here and there that are effective because prompted by good taste. If you want distinction in your clothes, a style and pat tern that will separate you from ordinary dressers, appearance that gives. an air of refinement without stiffness, there's 'justs one store to visit.

Upon His throne of thrones on high Ho towers, where angels Holy cry, And rolling spheres their plaudits raise, And seas of space resound his praise.

FORTY FOOT 1'ULTOX Tho editorial columns of tho Port laud Oregonlan havo always been a very striking feature of that vory ablo journal. Orogon Is justly proud of It. But Tho Oregonlan Is a paper which Is published in ono of tho most promising cities of tho Pacific Coast n city whoso beauty is as fascinating as, If Tho Oregonlan is any criterion, her Jealousy is un pleasant and narrowing. Portland is 100 miles up tho rlvor from tho sea, and tho channel of tho river is not deep, nnd It has cost and is costing many millions to maintain a depth thoro of twenty-six feet. The bar at tho mouth of tho rlvor is one of the worst, and tho dream of Portland and Tho Oregonlan is that some day it will be possibjo to induce Congress to appropriate ten or fifteen millions dollars to make the attempt to In crease the depth on tho bar to thirty feet. Now it is an easy proposition to get and maintain forty feet of water on Coos Bay bar. It will not hurt Port land at all If we do, and even If a largo city grows up on Coos Bay Portland will always be tho Rose of Oregon. Sho wll always be ono of tho great cities of the Pacific Slope. But Tho Oregonlan seeps not to accept this view. Tho possibility of forty feet of water on Coos Bay bar disturbs dier "waking and sleeping hours. To her It has become a sort of a nightmare. Her editorials are still strong, but sometimes when her Pegasus Is making splendid headway ho suddenly stops at tho sound 'of loud wailing, and It then appears that The Oregonlan has forgotten its subject and has suddenly recalled with pain the prospect of forty feet of water on Coos Bay bar. It Is a sad case. In an editorial entitled "Burton and Others," which appeared in The Oregonlan of November 7th, after discussing Mr. Burton's defeat for Mayor of Clovoland, ono of these strango abberatlons occur. It is talking of a two-cent faro In Cleve land, and then proceeds, "Our own Sonator Fulton, a year ago, created some excitement and no llttlo resent ment on Coos Bay by declaring for a thirty-foot channel to tho sea. Only thirty feet! Out upon such niggard ly parsimony! We'll havo forty feet or fight! So tho Sonator, on a sec ond visit to Coos Bay, tho other day, graciously gave thorn forty feet. That's tho stuff. Forty Foot Fulton! Good! All thero Is to do now Is to got tho money from tho Government aud do tho work. . . . But wo wan- dor from Burton." Alas, poor Yorlck! It Is sad to seo Tho Oregonlan wandor, whether from Burton or from any other subject. But lot Tho Oregonlan know that If It shall suc ceed In fixing to SenatortFulton tho nickname Forty Foot Fulton, Coos Bay will swear by him, nnd that nickname wll Immortalize tho man who opens tho harbor of Coos Bay when Tho Oregonlan shall have passed out of Its present great man agement Into some yellow heaven.
