their automobile turned turtle In the
outaltlTts of th city, while running at

A. B. 8telnbacb. a pioneer Portland
business man, and for 48 years one of
ths leading clothing merchants of the
city, has sold his bit mercantile estab
lishment at Fourth and Morrison streets
to Samuel X. Fox of Ban Diego, Caln
proprietor of ths Lion Clothing company
of that city, and Ous ICuhn, proprietor
or me u.ion ciotnmg company of Fort

Messrs. Fox and Kuhn have formed a
partnership, end will conduct the big
place, at' Fourth and Morrison as a high
class clothing and furnishing goods sa
tablishment. Mr. Fox is one of ths best
known business men in San Diego, where
for 28 years he has been a leading mer
chant; and Mr. Kuhn, ths other member
of the firm, hss for ths-past II years
been one of the best known figures In
the local mercantile field.
"Four weeks ago," said Mr. Fox,
"when I left Sen Diego for Portland,
where I had planned to take my vaca
tion, I had little thought of entering the
mercantile field In Portland; but upon
my arrival in the city it looked so good
to me that I mads up my mind' to In
vest soma money here. Upon learning
that Mr. Btelnbach contemplated retir
ing from business, I formed a partner
ship with my brother-in-law, Mr. Kuhn,
and bought out tha Btelnbach store,
which we expect to conduct, on the sams
high business plana that Mr. Stetnbaoh
has always maintained It. Portland Is
far and away the best ctty on the coast,
and I consider myself extremely fortu
nate In becoming a part owner In a well
established business here."
Mr. Btelnbach turns over the store to
the now proprietors tomorrow, and In a
short time will sail for Europe, where
he expects to take a well earned rest
of two or three yeara. However, he
will not give up Portland as his home,
as he Is heavily interested in Portland
property, and expects to return hero and
again make this city his place of residence.
