Fine Assortment of Silks and Dress Goods in Display
The favored light weight wool fabrics and the best weaves in silken materials are to be found here. Prices, too, are less than the grades really should bring.
The Dress goods and silk department are bright with the newest and best that is to be had in these lines, Wise shoppers are learning that when they have
looked in vain in other stores for a piece of dress goods or silk, that they would have saved time; that it pays to come here first for all fabric wants, for they are
sure to find what they seek, and at a price less than what it is liable to be sold elsewhere we're making a display of
the Spring Weaves and Patterns of Silks, Voiles, Panamas and light weight Wool wears for Summer Gowns.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.
Fifty-six bags of mall and an auto
mobile that had been shipped as
freight were saved from tho wreck
of tho steamer Pomona, at Fort Ross.
Forty-six bags of mall yet remain in
tho forward hold of the partially sub
merged vessel, and all this may bo
saved, as well as a large quantity of
the freight still aboard. As for tho
Pomona herself, however, representa
tives of the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company report that she will bo a
total loss, and that she will sink as
soon as pulled off the rocks.
Cu.pt. llurtls' Mistake.
It is presumed that Capt. Burtis of
the M. F. Plant, who passed the scene
of tho wreck on tho day of tho dis
aster and who expressed the belief,
whilo in Marshfleld last Friday that
tho Pomona Vaa wrecked while going
to tho aid of another wrecked vessel
was mistaken by tho distance and the
Intervals between the times he sight
ed her. vTlie first boat ho sighted,
local navigators oenevo, was a tug
near Bhoro. Later, tho vessel on the
rocks, thoy claim must havo been tho
Pomona and the one standing off try
ing to aid her tho City of Topeka
which had sailed from Eureka that
day.
Too Near Shore.
G. A, Jasper, of Fortuna, Cal., who
was aboard said:
"It was clear when wo struck. It
looks as if Captain Swanson was run
ning too closo inshore. Tho sea was
not acting badly at tho time, and
thero was no commotion when the
vessel hit Monterey Rock. Swanson
and tho crew all acted calmly and hi
porfect order, and It Is duo to their
cool efforts that all scenes of excite
ment wero avoided."
The Pomona was a sister ship to
tho Corona, which was wrecked at
the entrance, to Humboldt Bay, March
1, 1907. Sho was .commanded by
Captain 'SwanBon,"who h"as'h,een in
the service of tho Pacific Coast
Steamship Company for the past 35
years. At one time he was master of
the steamer Senator, on the Nome
run. His first regular steamer was
the Pomona, which he has com
manded for a number of years. He
Is known as a careful navigator. The
Pomona was built at San Francisco
In 1888 and was 952 net tons regis
ter.
Tho largest Individual stockholder
in the Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany Is said to be Hetty Green, the
richest woman in the world.
Captain Swanson has not talked
much about tho accident as he Is al
most disheartened. It Is generally
understood that he feared that the
Pomona's engines were In bad shape
and was keeping in near shoro Jest
tho threatened storm strike them and
put the engines out of business.
