None Worth Under $45-Special $33.50--A Dollar Down, a Dollar a Week
A Dollar Down and a Dollar a Week
This great Rug offer should draw hundreds of shrewd store patrons
to these floors Monday. There is a general impression that credit,
stores ask more for their merchandise than cash stores. This is not
true of the "Gevurtz" Store. These Rugs, for example, can't be bought
anywhere else in town, even for spot cash, under $45.00. We will prove
beyond the most skeptical doubt that we do sell better merchandise
for less money, on credit, than others do for cash. It's the immense
volume of our business that enables this. The name "Gerurtx" speaks
volumes. It stands for quality of the, highest stripe Furniture of the
finest build.

Fidgety people are 'always peculiar.
He was a ' little fidgety sort ' of a fel
low. He was particularly nervous. He
was . a great .talker. When In conver
sation with a friend he had a habit of
Invariably picking a hair from the
other fellow's coat collar. Or he would
flip an imaginary speck from the shoul
der of the one he was talking with.
It was all a habit- It annoyed .all
his friends, but none of them had the
nerve ' to tell him of the fact They
would brush 'their cWhes thoroughly
when they knew they were going to
meet the man with the fidgety habits.
Bat .it was of no use. The fidgety
one continued to pick' and flip the im
aginary specks or bits of thread from
the other person's- coat
The man with the habit showed up
at the Hotel Portland the other day.
One of his friends or perhaps it was
one of his ' enemies knew that the
fidgety guy was to be there. So they
met.
Whe fellow' who didn't like the
fidgety guy had a little innocent piece
of thread protruding from his button
hole in the lapel of his coat It stuck
out prominently. The two began to
talk.
The conversation had hardly com
menced when the fidgety one reached
for the little' piece -of thread. He
picked it More cam through the but
tonhole. He pulled . and he pulled.
Thread came from the coat lapel by the
yard. The fidgets was determined and
"Keep a Pullin' Pal There's More.
he pulled hand over hand. And then .he
saw the Joke.
There was a whole spool of thread
at the .other end of the innocent piece
which stuck out of the buttonhole.
Fidgets, It is said, has been cured.

BLOOD SHINES III
KELLAHER'S EYE
Will Invoke Eeferendum,
If Necessary, to Kill the
Vehicle Ordinance.
Councilman Kellaher announced yes
terday that he would Us the referen
dum on the vehicle tax ordinance which'
passed the council Thursday If Mayor
Lane did not veto it H. said that If
Mayor Lane vetoed th ordinance he
did not believe that the measure would
be passed over the veto because six
members of the council voted against
the measure and nine for it - In order
to pass the ordinance over Mayor Lane's
veto 10 votes would be required, and
Mr. Kellaher does not believe th de
fenders of the act can get th extra
vote.
Councilman Kellaher takes his stand
in the belief that he is backed up by
nearly all the large business Interests
of the olty who fought the measure for
nearly a year In the council. He says
that the measure stands at present di
rectly In opposition to th wish of , a
large majority of citizens and that It
will ro down In defeat before th refer
endum.
Ask Redaction in Bat.
About a year ago the Draymen's asso
ciation came to the council and asked
that the vehicle tax ordinance be
changed so as to reduce the tax against
their vehicles from $20 a year to 8S,
which amount they claimed was the
maximum for any city on the Pacific
coast This was the start of the fight
to change the ordinance which has been
steadily opposed by Councilman Kella
her. Many new ordinances were drafted
and submitted to the license committee
of the council, which finally Introduced
one taxing all vehicles used for hire.
Upon the introduction of the ordinance.
Councilman Menefee introduced a. euh.
stltute ordinance which classified the
various vehicles and provided for a
general taxation of every carriage or
wagon in the city save those for pleas
ure only. .
Representative business men oppose
the present ordinance, claiming that it
Is illegal and cannot be sustained in
juicy m xney are opposed
to the measure becaue it rimu. on
extra burden upon them that is not
warranted or tne reason or thoir
m cunuueung tnoir business.
Feeling 8 till Bemalns.
Th new ordinance nrovlriea ih.t ail
the money received from tail no- vht.
cles shall go into the street repair fund
ana can te usea xor no other purpose.
Councilman Menefee based his ordi
nance on th belief that any person
who uses the streets of the city would
be glad to pay a small sum each year
to aid in keeping them In good condi
tion. He said he did not believe It
would work a hardship on any person
or firm whom It would affect and would
result in general good to th city.
Great Interest was manifested In th
ordinance and . its fate was watched
closely by friend and foe alike. Hot
debates preceded Its . passage and the
feeling has not diminished yet The
interest In th battle has been turned
Cronv -JJm ouncU -pbgm&er, Jo. Majrox;
Lane to see whether he will veto the
ordinance or not If he does there will
be a lively scramble among th conn
cllmen to secure the extra vote neces
sary to pass It over the veto.
SHINING COLLEGE SHOES
Bootblack's Low Rate Not by Any
, Means a Loss to Him.
(New Tork Sun.)
At one of th colleges there Is a boot
black who advertises a monthly rate of
SO cents and a yearly rate of $8.60 for
an unlimited number of shines. Some
on figuring on th basis Of forty
weeks to a college year made It out
that a student could get about 111
worth of 'shines for 88.60.
"I don't see how that pays you," ho
said to the bootblack.
"Well, It means that If I can get
enough men to start with I caa begin
each year with a surety of an income
of more than $1,000," the bootblack
said. "Tou see. at the start of the
college year, when the students have
money, they don't mind paying 88.60,
and then they are fixed for the year.
"They figure out that the flat rate
is better for them than having to pay
each time. Then, again if they took
get less of them, I think. -
