An ordinary Friday at this store is far" greater than the great Frjdaysale days of other stores. But tomorrow is no ordinary Friday, even with us, for it surpasses even our own sale days ''X'tX in value offerings. f' , .' ' I .J BOATS UNABLE TO ' HANDLE THE TONNAGE t. In yesterday't papers we advertised the most tremen dous three days' selling event ever offered.' Today, we offer the same eventto last one day less. "Tomorrow and Saturday we expect to ceduce all claims of former value- '-giving events to tshes.' -r ' ly .Two Inure 1 ays ofl TM laiMi j Sacrifice? We not only intend to, we simply must clean out as much stock during these three days as most stores would spread out over a month's time.

Shipper of wheat alon $ha upper Columbia ar facing- this year a far nor serious phase f shipping oondl tlona than waa existent Uat aaaou . whan tha car shortage prevented tha moving of (rain for many week. It la stated that tha a B. ft N. 'will be In no Jytter ahape to handle the output fall than last. The grain produo- jon will be enormous, exceeding by -many tbouaanda of buahela the produc tion or.ivos. Grain producer!, eapecially above Umatilla rapid, are plaolng their hopea on the river ateamera, but offleera in Portland atata that It la doubtful whether they will be able to relieve the congested situation. Neither of the1 Open River Transportation company's ateamers ta powerful enough to make , the raplda, and In addition there wlU probably be aa much or more grain on this aide than can be handled by them during the season. It Is stated that the only possible manner In which the wheat production thla year can be handled satisfactorily . will be through the ehlDners' own ef forts In providing the upper river with mora boats. At the preaent time there are half a doien ateamera plying tha waters In that region, but these are being operated In various construction enterprises. It was said thla morning that an effort would probably be made to lease aome of these vessels, but thla ia not likely to be done unless a disposition la shown on the part of the ones most vitally Interested In moving their grain tn ennnerate with the Portland persons who are endeavoring to help Out in a trying situation. . The Open River Transportation com pany will, in all probability. If some assistance is given from the uppr country, he the one to operate the addi tional steamers If they can be had, but ao far the arrangements are Indefinite and until they assume tangible shape there remains the possibility that the upper Columbia grain will be tied up In warehouses and other places more , completely than It waa last seaaon when ' the whole country was crying for aome meana of transportation.

This morning it became necessary to take up the carpets beneath the long 'tables on which are set the various Instruments for recording wind velocity, rainfall, the height of the river and other meteorological conditlona and phenomenon. To lift the carpeta, the heavy tablea had to be moved and the wlrea severed which control the delicate instruments. Thla work occupied a period of 26 min utes and when the metal fincers were t v. again aet to work the little indelible re- broken.

(Bpdl DUpitch to The Journal.) Aberdeen, Wash., July 18. J. L. Dairies, whose firm, the Northwestern Dredg-ing- company of San Francisco, has secured the contract for dredging tha channel of tha harbor, haa a proposal to lay before tne city council in refer ence to using tne airi irom tna Dea or hay to fill in tha tide fiata. The plulmif filling in the lower part of the site of the city was a favorite one of former Mayor i,inasirom, tna nil suc cessor. Mayor France, is following out the suggestion. Some objections haa been made to the schema or filling with dirt dredged from the harbor on account of Its character, it talcing so long a time ta dry and become firm and solid. Mr. Imrnes claims the dirt along tha portion of tbe harbor opposite this place is com- ?osed mainly of sand and gravel and hat it , would become solid in a few weeks. Tha matter will be brought be fore the council at its next meeting. Mr. Dames' company will probably in stall an oil tank here, for the purpose of furnishing fuel. If this is done it will lead to a line of tank steamers be ing put on the run to thla port. Small Prices in Domestics Plain and figured Galatea Cloth.
