It ta regarded a a certainty that the
liavy department will Bend Lnlted
States transports to Portland to receive
Vancouver troops destined for the Phll

stance In the future, without further ex
ertion belna- made on the part of local
Interests.
' ."it Is getting tiresome to have to go
after the power at Washington to over
come the ootnmarclsl Influence of Ban
Wanclsco every time there Is a bunch
of soldiers to be taken from Vancouver
o any foreign station." said Tom Rich
ardson, manager of the Portland Com
mercial club, "when the government
knows better than anybody that Ita ves
sels have safe entrance and anchorage In
the Columbia river, and that they can
rome In at any time to get what they
Winl
; T7e reoorda and latest soundings of
the government s own engineers are ac
eessible to the authorities. The war de
partment has the Information in Ita owr
possession. The government's able en
gineers report that the depth of the
channel on the Columbia river bar at
the time of the last survey In June was
Stt feet at low tide, and approximately
i:h reel at
shoaleat
1 feet
high tide at the
point. This Is an lncreaae of
over the record of last year.
, . "The channel Is deepening all the
time, There Is no question about that.
. all croakers and carolns or rival nar-
" bora to the contrarv notwithstanding.
The Colombia river entrance la one of
the best harbors In the world, and as a
fresh, water harbor It has no rival. It
Is no more difficult or dangerous than
the entrance to the sound through the
traits of Fucca. Thla fart la con'
.firmed by the opinion of the beat mari
ners on the coast.
If anyone questions the truth of
these statements the official record of
commercial movements is easily con
sulted to prove each particular. More
than It per cent of the entire bualness
. of the Pacific northwest Is being done
through this port. Foreign shipments
In and out or the Columbia river, and
especially outbound, are Immense and
constantly growing. Oriental shlpmenta
are specially prominent, although the
coastwise trade Is large and ateadlly In
creasing. -With the completion of the
north bank line of the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern railroads the vol
ume of outgoing tonnage from the Co
lumbia river harbor will be greatly Increased.

stocks of men's clothing and etc.. and
besides added one of the most hand
some end complete ladles' suit, cloak,
akirt, furnlshlnga and notion depart
ments In the city. The entire furnish
ings and fittings of the house are In
a great measure different from any
other atore In Portland. Queen-Anno
and 14th century effects play a strong
part. While the show windows are not
entirely new, they are an Innovation
to Portland. The store Is ao built that
the entire main floor and balcony sell
ing depsrtments are exposed to the
people on the street. Mr. Oellar says
that It Is dona so that the people In
passing can look right Into the sto"e
and get an Idea of the kind of a stor,
nd the else of atocks. Mr. Dellar will
no doubt , meet with a full share t.T
success which his energy with the
record of the past will surely bestow
on his new and greater store.

Lebanon, Or., Oct. I. The Lebanon

under th most favorable circumstances,
there were about 00 registered the first
day. and the prospects are very favora-
Prinevllle ta the destination of an
electric railroad that la being construct
ed by Portland and eastern capital from
Eugene and Springfield, via the He
Kentle river. The company haa ao
quired right of way for 40 miles up
that stream, haa begun construction of
its line from teuarene to Springfield, a
distance of four miles, and Is about to
let the contract for a 140, OOO bridge
across the Willamette river at that
nolnL
Behind the railroad are the Story
Bracher Lumber company. A. Welch and
associated capitalists. A new railway
avstem has been com Dieted at Eugene,
and this la to form the nucleus of the
electrical development eaatward from
the Willamette valley to central ure
ion.
The project is wen aiong lowara me
stage where electric power development
on the upper jucKenaie win oe com
menced, and when the line from Eu
gene to npringneia is compieiea 11 win
be pushed on over the mountains. Next
year will witness the complete unfold
ing of the company's plans, It is said,
for an electric line connecting the Wil
lamette valley with central Oregon and
the Irrigated region In the Deschutes
river basin.
The Unking of Portland with Eugene
via Salem, by electric railroad trans
portation, will naturally follow com
pletion this fall of the Portland-Salem
electric line of the Oregon Electric
Railway company. Within the next
three years it will be possible, say the
railroad prophets, to get on an electric
sleeping car at Portland in the after
noon and debark at Prineville next
morning.
The proposed bridge over the Willam
ette at Springfield will be about 400 feet
long, and will probably be built by Con
tractor N. L. Rooney of Eugene. Presi
dent Ve,lch returned to Portland today
from a trip up the McKenxle river,
where he Inapected water power sites
filed upon by the company, from which
power will be developed to operate
trains over the McKenxle river lln.
Construction of the dam and canal!
for the first plant will be commenced
within a few weeks. It is expected to
complete the powerhouse nv next
spring. Sixteen miles of rails for the
McKenxle river line have been pur
chased, and will be delivered wltnln the
next 0 days at Eugene. The road will
be built 16 mllea to Hendricks' ferry
during the winter, and the McKenxle
river will oe Dringea at inai poini next
summer.

Two ounces of Rose water;

four ounces crystallaed Bartoln.
Put the Sartoln Into a pint of
hot water (not boiling), and after
it is dissolved and cooled, strain
through a fine cloth and add the
Rose Water and Cologne Spirit.
Any large bottle will serve as a
receptacle, but it must be kept
well corked. This quantity will
last for a long time. In using
this mixture It should always be

Ground Floor Office.
The Dunn-Lawrence company, owing
to greatly increased business has re
moved its real estate office from 149 H
First street to a more commodious
ground-floor office at 248 Alder street,
between Second and Third streets. This
oompany Is expanding Just like Portland
and It Is ever meeting the requirements
of Its numerous patrons.
'.Must havc"beri a tprribly crude affair.,
e.' Several stove-builders took up the burden
and assumed the responsibility of making
better stoves. They put everything into
, their calculations but quality. This was
probably a mere oversight but nevertheless
it was, fatal, for then came the "Eclipse"
Stove company; an association of conscien
cious Ohio citizens, who commenced the
building of stoves on "quality." Other
stove factories smiled. "They can't make
quality and still make profits," said they.
The "Eclipse" Stove company plugged
along, selling a stove now and then, until at
last they got the people to talking about
them. When I. Gevurtz & Sons were asked
(about 15 years ago) which of all stoves do
you prefer to handle and to recommend,
the head of this great establishment said
(without the least hesitancy), give us the
"Eclipse." Since that day, we've placed
15,000 "Eclipse" ranges in Portland homes,
and those homes are every one settlements
. of contentment.
lhere are today two hclipse heaters to
one of any other manufacture in use among
Portland's comfortable homes. The
"Eclipse" has in its every part a distinctive,
leading feature, and those parts combined
make a wonderful masterpiece in stove con
$io and up wards "Eclipse" Heaters
