New Tailored Gowns for Spring at
Popular Prices ' '
. i
At a popular price, the Tailored Gown
Is probably In greater demand than ' any
other eoetume at the present time. This is
largely because the ready-to-wear gowns as
now produced have an individual distinction
they once lacked., Few gowns are duplicat
ed. Nearly every one Is unique and per
elonal, as It were. The prevailing modes are
carefully observed, with endless variations,
Bo that a tailored gown this season is. as
much unduplicated as a gown made ' by a
dressmaker. .
Our gowns selling from f 10 to $50 were
selected with the greatest care and with this
demand In view. The consequence Is that at
these prices nothing equaling these suits
,for value have ever been shown on the coast.
Tomorrow there will be a complete show
ing of them. t fc
Skirts from $1.50 to $25.00
Fancy and Plain Silk Waists
$1.50 to $12.00
It will afford us great pleasure to have you visit with us tomor

It was a warm day in early spring
when the steamer Governor Ramsay
tied up at the wharf and Capt. John
Rowlins leaped ashore. . The Governor
Ramsay, named in honor of the first
territorial, governor of Minnesota, piled
jon the upper Mississippi, past the place
where now are situated the two great
twin cities of the middle west, St Paul
and Minneapolis. -
Captain Rowlins was In a hurry when
he went ashore this bright spring after
noon. He was behind time and his ves
sel must make several miles before "tie
Ing up time." But the Governor Ram
say had aboard her two fluttering hearts
that impatiently longed-to beat as one
and the master of the packet was in
search of a minister or a Justice of the
peace. ..; -.
The skipper made his way to the
store, - one of the few buildings that
stood in the clearing by the river bank
and Inquired for a minister.
"There's none hereabouts," replied th
storekeeper, and then after a moment's
thought, added, "But there's George
Egbert over there. He's the justice of
the peace."
"He'll do," exclaimed the captain and
he hastened to the place where the red
shirted justice was building a cablri.
"Sure," was the ready response of the
young carpenter-Justice when he learned
what the steamboat man desired. "I
haven't been Justice long and I've never
married anyone yet, but I guess I can
try." So saying, he walked to the boat
with Captain Rowlins, wiping the moist
ure' from his face and neck as he strode
along. . v
In the captain's cabin Egbert met
Reuben M. Richards, sheriff of Benton,
one of the three counties of the territory
of Minnesota, and Miss Lois V. Munson,
the bride-to-be. The young Justice was
personally acquainted with both, and af
ter many stammers and blushes from
both parties he performed his first wed
ding ceremony. Captain Rowlins stood
by and gave the bride away and the
crew of the Governor Ramsay witnessed
ine event Then with the remark "no
charges, the pleasure of -, uniting two
such good people Is worth the fee, and
I wish you well." George Egbert re
turned to shore and again took up his
woric. The nrst wedding in the terrl
tory of Minnesota had been solemnized.
That was in 1850," mused Capt.
George Egbert veteran bailiff of the
United States district ourt . "and I'm

SHERLOCK SOLOMON
A WJLY SLEUTH
The study of Sherlock Holmes as an
abstraction created by' Dr. A Conan
Doyle out of numerous interesting per
sonalities may be dropped. No longer
need the comparison be ' made with
Gaboriau or on Poe's "purloined letter,"
or "The, Murders In the Hue Morgue."
8herlock has materialized In the flesh.
He "has came." Right here . in Port
land has he taken up his residence and
begun to electrify the 'multitude with
hia brilliant system of inductive and
deductive, reasoning combined. In its
present terrestrial manifestation of the
Sherlock detective instinct the spirit of
genlur.ls known as Nate Solomon. Now
that he has-revealed his' true identity,
he will be known as Sherlock Solomon.
As is well known, Nate figures as one
of the proprietors of the ' Portland Club.
Yesterday afternoon, ' while he was" re
lieving a floor walker,, a voting man ap
proached him and mournfully declared
he had JUst lost . $4.60, money .which had
been given him by his mother to pur.
chase groceries.' While telling his little
tale of woe his lachrymal glands began
working overtime.
Nate, questioned him and learned that
he came, from1 Minnesota three weeks
ago and lived with his mother 'on the
east side. , ... ' .. .
"What street do you live on T" queried
the Club man. ,..,,
'Chestnut street," was, the answer.
"What's the number?"' : : - '
"I don't' remember. We've only been
there a short time." - : ' -

for the name. He could j not find it.
The boy. gently reminded him tbet the

weeks ago.
do it was, so. it was, admitted the
gaming man, "but I thirik you are lying
Just the same." . ,
Calling one of the employes into a
side room, Nate told him. to go home
with the lad and if his story-were found
true, that he had gambled away money
given him by his mother to buy gro
ceries, to return the money. , In about
80 minutes the : employe , came ' back
alone, pulling as if from unusual exer
tion. -i l
."What luck?" asked Nate.
"Luck7. Didn't 'you know there la no
Chestnut street on the other slde of
the river? That boy forgot what car
he took, forgot what bridge he walked
over, forgot everything but that he went
home across a gulch 'or something, but
he didn't forget to walk me nearly to
death, until I discovered he was com
ing right, back where we started from.
Then I gave him the glassy orb and
left him." , '. . .:
"Didn't I tell you?" exclaimed Sher
lock delightedly.' "I might have forgot
ten when the directory was printed and
suffered a lapse of memory as regards
a Chestnut street being on the east
side, but I knew that young scamp was
wrong. How: . Well, -1 noticed his

gray sea gull making his home between
the Madison and steel bridges that is
enjoying life to the fullest extent Bun
shine or rain it is ail the same to him.
He leads the same merry existence every
day, picking up a few crumbs here and
a delicacy now and then everywhere.
Boat riding seems to be one of his
great delights. Every morning as reg

He perches himself upon the knob of
the flagstaff and Impatiently waits for
the whistle to blow. There he sits un
disturbed, placidly viewing the sur
rounding scenery until the steel bridge Is
reached. When the boat is passing
through the draw he spreads hia wide
wings and leisurely ' files up stream.
The remainder of the day is spent dart
ing up and down stream with his winged
companions and occasionally grabbing
up a few morsels of food that have been
thrown Into the - water - by the beach
combers. But he never forgets to take the ride
down to the steel bridge. The officers

so accustomed to his visits that they
