DON'T ROB YOUR BOY BY Letting Someone Eke Rob You D Agent L. W. Shaw, of the Alliance, received the following telegram from Capt.

Alliance was struck by a sea while crossing the bar. Tho stern post, rudder and three blades of the wheel wore carried away. We arrived off Columbia river at noon yesterday and Astoria at noon today In tow of tho tug Tatoosh. B. F. Pyott was washed overboard on the bar and lost. His wife was badly hurt. Tho passengers wero all put in their state rooms before crossing, but she held tho door open trying to get him back. The sea carried away the door knocking her back senseless. She will recover. Details by mail. Every body else well and happy. B. W. OLSON It is evident from this that Pyott had left his stateroom in violation of Instructions from tho crew. Fur ther particulars of the sad accident will be awaited with Interest. Tho Portland papers devote much space to the delay in tho arrival of tho Alliance. The Journal paid tho following compliment to Capt. Olson and crew: "The Alliance is in command of Captain B. Olson, who is considered not only a most careful but also com petent navigator, and sho is manned by a crew of experienced hands from tho ofllcers down, most of thorn hav ing been on board for several months. While Captain Olson Is known to lie daring in case of an emergency, ho also bears the reputation of being cautious. A largo number of Portland peoplo arc supposed to be among tho pas sengers as usual and their friends are beginning to feel seriously alarm ed In view of tho stormy weather that has prevailed along the coast lor several days. Many Inquired anxiously at tho Couch street dock yesterday afternoon as the hours passed on and no word of cheer camo from tho lookout at North Head, who roports shipping nt tho mouth of tho Columbia. i Tho Gray Steamship 'company of San Francisco has operated tho Alli anco on the Portlnnd-Coos Bay routo for several years and sho met with only a fow accidents In that time. Four or fivo months ago tho steamer City of Panama ran Into her near the mouth of the Willametto and cut a deep gash In her btern, but tho hull was repaired and strengthened and mndo as seaworthy as over. Her Inst trip up was one of tho stormiest ever experienced. To steady her In tho awful cross sea Cnptaln Olson hoisted canvas but it was blown Into shreds boforo it was fairly placed. Tho steamer rodo out tho storm In fine shape, however, and crossed in over an ugly bar." Mrs. S. A. Yoakam, deputy state dairy inspector, departs tonight at one o'clock over the Drain stage route for Portland, where she goes to attend the big state dairymen's convention to be held there on De cember 12th and 13th. Will Maloy, who received the Times Associated Press dispatches from the date the paper was started, In June, 190C, until the change to evening publication, departed Tues day night over the Coos Bay wagon road, bound for La Grande, Oregon, where he has been ordered by the A. P. management to take dispatches for a La Grando paper. The change from morning to evening service does away with the requirement for an extra operator, and Mr. Schetter will take the telegrams hereafter. Mr. Malloy has a great many friends In Marshfleui who regret that he was ordered to another location. STORM DOES DAMAGE Douglas Uuilding is Partially Un roofed and Western Union Wires nro Down. Tho storm of Tuesday night did considerable damage for Codding & Robinson, civil engineers. They are located in one of the rooms of the Douglas building. The heavy wind tore a portion of tho paper roof away and let a great quantity of water down into their quarters innumerable maps, tracings and records of the firm. Messrs. Mit chell and HImebaugh, who have tho Adjoining rooms, escaped with little damage. William Laird, tho Western Union lino man between Rosoburg and Marshfleld, and located at Slt kum, Is in the city on business. He says last night's storm was very hard on tho wires and they are down, but his absence will not interfere with their repair as the repair men will get busy at once. ON'T deprive him of the satisfaction and benefit he'll receive from an XT1AGO D suit by allowing any dealer --i to;make you think he can sell you some other just as good and cheaper. When you buy "cheap" clothing, you get ' poor clothing. When you answer advertisements of all-wool suits for boys at $2.00,' $2-50 antj $3.00, you submit to robbery for there is no well made all-wool clothing sold in 'America today at these figures. And if you buy a suit at these prices and put it on your boy, it will not look well and will not wear well. That's not fair to the boy. X tragoo d clothing is guaranteed. We can sell you this brand for $5.00 and up and assure you that no clothing is made which, in all respects, is so reliable. We know about all lines and are free to handle any make we chose. We prefer X TKAG0 D because we have proof of its superiority and ability to give you most satisfaction. When it comes to low prices wo can "ro the next man one better" any time. You can go ns low as you like lioro but u .$2.00 or ipa.OO suit is not all wool here or any hero else. This is tho truth and we're not afraid to say so in our advertising. Ederhcimcr, Stein & Co.

It was learned before tho flro company had passed the Merchant corner that tho fire was not in tho house, but a burning brush pile which was between the house and tho downtown district.
