THE OREGON DAIJVY' jbuBNAL, . POUTjLAND, SATURDAY EVENING. APRIL 11; 1903. 8 TELLSOF PORTLAND'S :.: . ,V 1, Olds, Wortman & King Now-Have H.

Away up on the fifth floor of Old, Wortman & King:' big department store, screened oft In a sunny corner and sur rounded by newspaper flies and stacks of "copy," a Journal man found H. C. Whlttler, who has recently come hero from New York to take charge of the spreading- of this popular, progressive firm's "Store News." "The Journal want to interview you on the subject of the coming expansion of your house, your opinion of our city a an Easterner and other matters on similar lines." "What are your Impressions of Port land as a dtyT" The Journal man asked. "Well, I must say my hat Is doffed to tho 'New City,' " answered Mr. Whlt tler. "It 1 simply a wonder. Few Easterners realise what a metropolis you have here. Why, It's the New York of the West. In fact, in many ways su perior to that Eastern center. It Is cleaner, healthier and has a fresher and brighter business atmosphere than any Eastern metropolis I know of, and I have done work; In nearly all of them. It Is a younger New York without its filth, its selflshness and rottenness of municipal government There is an air of freedom here which makes a man look around for the American bird, ex pecting every moment to hear hv scream. . "The people are more free hearted, hospitable and courteous; there Is not that everlasting, rude jostling, that for get fulness of the rules of ordinary po liteness and civility that is met with In large Eastern cities. 'Why, a man al most forgets the chivalry due to women after life in the busy centers of the East Then again, the wonderful, un precedented growth of your city, not that of a mushroom character, nor of the "boom" sort, but the steady, health ful growth is something almost beyond the belief of the uninitiated Easterner. "X was privileged today to see a photo graph of Portland 50 years ago, and it was hard to believe that in half a cen tury, or within the present generation, the city has arrived at a point where It takes Its place among the, great com mercial centers of America. Your mod ern buildings and up-to-date mercantile establishments are simply unsurpassed in any city in the United States. After the disappointment of the Middle West which section is away behind this, if Portland Is a criterion. It Is refreshing (o And here such modern methods and 'results. Many an Easterner comes West to the Mississippi and then returns dis appointed with the "West' and its Cities before he has seen them. "I wish every Easterner who leave borne and travels toward the setting sun would strike Portland in his travels be fore his return, HIa eyes would surely be opened, as mine have been to Western energy, push, enterprise and success. A young man today In Portland Btands where our fathers stood in the little Eastern towns of 76 years ago. which have since grown to be the large cities and trade centers. There is no better investment today. In my opinion, than real estate in Portlaad. "Our store? Olds, Wortman & King? Well, of course, naturally. I think it Is the greatest and best of all tho big stores of this section. Of one thing I' am sure after a store' experience of over S$ years (I started in store life at the age of 14 years) after traveling through and doing work In every one of the New England states. New York, and some of the Middle states 1 have never found such complete organisation, such unanimity of idea, such excellence of merchandise and taste of selection and display as in this store. It is as one gigantic machine working with the regu larity of a fine watch. "The heads of tho house are tireless as steam engines, the department man ager and buyers nav been selected from the very 'flower of tne country, everyone an expert In his or her Una and all working together like the small wheels of a clock around the larger bal ance wheels. "The employes are selected from among the very best workers in their various lines. It Is the policy of the house to employ local people so far as Is possible, and taken all In all It makes up one of the grandest store organlsa tions It has ever been my pleasure to see. In fact. I doubt if a superior one exists in this oountry. Portland pebple little know the details of this great es tablishment. If they did I am inclined to think that this 'Different Store' would be obliged to occupy several blocks of stores to accommodate the patronage. "Yes, we are going to expand right away. The plans are out and opera tion will start at once. So far as al ready planned, I can say: Our present stores have for a long time past be come too much crowded for the comfort of our patrons and ease of transacting business and we are making the new addition to supply room for our over flow. Among the features we are going to Improve are elevator service, to make It quicker and better. We shall make it a daylight store, prisms and every other device possible will be introduced to throw light into every part of the building. There will be entrances from Fifth, Sixth and Washington streets. This will be but the beginning of a grand expansion by our house. So much for our store. And now that I have nearly talked you blind over my impres sions of your city (and my adopted one) for I am here to stay, at least for some time. I am tired of .the nomad life of a traveling advertising man and prefer to devote my energies In the future to dis pensing news of the store doings at Old, Wortman & King's and our store, I want to add a word for The Journal. It's the right paper in the light Dlace and must surely be a great factor In newspaperdom of the Northwest and the Coast. The way it nuts ud the new. nt the day and serves It to it readers, in telegraph and local service, its brirht. sharp and pithy editorials on matters of the day which are 'next' to the 'com mon people,' it strong, and fearlsaa stand on matter which concern the oeo- ple and their beat interest are to be J vuiuiuciiuw vy nil gooa ciiuten. It 1 uch a paper one which will not be subservient to any individual or class that a cosmopolitan, growing me tropolis like Portland needs, and she Is indeed fortunate in possessing a news paper of the calibre of The Journal. "When your people- shall have gotten in and Installed your big Hoe press with it color page capabilities, you certainly will have a paper fit to take rank among the newspaper leaders of the land lit to represent a representative Western me tropolis like Portland." The interviewer arose to withdraw ofter a cordial Invitation to "come again always glad to see newspaper men," passed down through the Easter throngs at the popular store satisfied that Olds,, Wortman & King were indeed 'Hustlers from Hustlervllle." Mr. Whlttler, by the way. is some what of a newspaper man, having been for a year, some years as-o in of the business management of the Re publican and Leader at La Crosse. Wis a leading news organ of the Middle West, owned by William R. Finch. U. a Minister to Uruguay and Paraguay South America. nv - 1 . CaliforniaVess Jshes Harkcts. Dcsplie Adverse Conditions fa Chi cago Todiy Local Grain Market h Firmer. ' The arrival of the steamer from Cali fornia late lat evening with a large cargo of assorted vegetable and fruits helped somewhat to relieve the barren ness of the Front street markets. There Is now a large quantity of vegetables of all kinds on the streets and most of the mall fruit are In fair supply. Oraia Market rirsa. Despite the fact that the Chicago mar ket labored under adverse condition this morning, the local situation, if changed at all, shows a marked improve ment. Flour Is selling, well locally and the demand for all grades of grain for milling purposes Is keeping quotations trong. CaarooU Will Advano. The American Cigar Company an nounces that beginning with May 1 the quotations on Old Virginia Cheroots will advance 11 per 1.000, the old price being llt.TS. rgr stui Low. Egg price went down toll tent today, and some sales were made at even low er prices. Further drops in quotations are anticipated the forepart of next week unless receipts show a material decrease. Poultry "old Oat. The poultry supply on Front street was about cleaned up with the close of busi ness today, the slight lowering of prices making the market assume a more ac tive tone, Xops, Potatoes aad Onion Doll. The hop market Is dull, but there is a better undertone noticeable. California reports state the onion and potato mar ket to be unchanged in tone or price. A large shipment on the steamer Columbia Is still on. hand In the Bay City, x Fresh meats are unchanged. Today's quotations, as revised, are as follows; rOlTlAVB WHOLXIAU f alCI.
