Store PHONE MARSHALL 5000 PHONE uesaay In Full Blast-Inaugurating 100 REMARKABLE Sales! - Owing to the extraordinary magnitude, the great importance and the remarkable economies of this sale, it will be impossible to advertise in detail each and every sale. We shall confine ourselves to the simple description of the merchandise offered in the limited space at our disposal. The economies in Tuesday's sale are so pronounced that we urge shopping in the morning. While in many instances the quantities are large, we doubt, at the sale prices, if the assortments will last through out the day. Every section of the store comes forward with high-grade and thoroughly dependable merchandise at most unusual and decidedly drastic price reductions. Astoria Division to Have Gas Electric Car in Near Fu ture. EXPERIMENT IS PLANNED W 1 Cur WU1 8 72 Tt Jtong u4 WXH Zav Capacity for Hauling1 Tonx Coftobra. Soon after January 1, tba North Satak read" wilt have in operation on Ita Astoria division between Portland and Rainier a new style of mottve power an electrically-driven, gas-gn erated car that will have Bufflcietft traction to haul three or four passen ger coaches.

Later, however, others may be added as the need arises or as experience shows the efficacy of this form of propulsion. Although the car was authorized several weeks ago, the contract only recently has been closed and it Is prob able that several months will elapse before the car will be finished. THREE WASHINGTON , BANKS FAIL TO OPEN TODAY FOR BUSINESS (Continued. From Page One.) Hons assert that they will turn over all of their private property, and that depositors will be paid In lull. The other two banks were prepared to stand the run this morning, but there was little demand for money on deposit at either Institution. George Dysart, stockholder of the United States National, attributes the failure to the European war, dullness of the lumber market, and the fact that other banks called in paper held on the local Institution. The United States National bank was organised in 1807 by taking over the old State Bank of Centralia. The old bank was organized In 1895, with deposits of $30,000, and in 1907 they had grown to $800,000. The Union Loan & Trust company was organised in 1908. It is believed that this institution is not so heavily involved. City Was Depositor. Officers of the United States Na tional are Charles Gilchrist, president; C 8. Gilchrist, vice president and man ager; J. W. Daubney. cashier, and R. W. Daubney, assistant cashier. Stock holders are the- two GUchrists, F. B. Hubbard. F. T. JdcNUt, George Dysart. P. R. Hiatal, J. W. Daubney, D. F. Davles, Herman Young and Dan Salzer. The heaviest depositor in the banks was the city of Centralia, which had tSO.000 on deposit. The closing of the institution leaves the municipality with but $10,000 cash on hand from its spring tax receipts. Raymond Bank Firm. Raymond, Wash., .Sept. 21. The dosing of the two Centralia banks this morning In no wise affected the two banks of this city. Charles Gil chrlst. president of United States Na tienal. Centralia, was until three months ago president of the Wlllapa Harbor State bank of this city, but disposed of his entire Interest In the local bank so that he Is not now con nected with it in any capacity. There has been no stir over the news of the Centralia failures and no withdrawal of deposits have been made or are ex pected. WEST ANSWERS CHARGES MADE ffk BY OREGONIAN (Continued from Page One.) the prison report for the 1911-12 bien nial period. No statement has ever been made: by me to the contrary, not withstanding the Oregonlan's charges. "The Oregonian, when it is not fol lowing Us policy of deliberately lying. usually suppresses facts, which would show the truth. It failed to disclose the fact that the said brick were off set by sales and gifts as follows: Sold O. A. C. 774,100 at $5, $3770.50 old insane asylum, 133,090 at $6, $665; free to penitentiary, 114,270 free to tuberculosis sanitarium. 100.' 436; free to feeble minded institution. 19,050; free to mute school, 58,954 free to blind school, 100. Totals. 1, ZOO, 004, 34435.50. "The Oregonian suppressed the fact that after purchasing a valuable tract of land out of the brickyard fund. Installing a number of needed indus tries to absorb the labor of the Insti tution and making a large number of needed Improvements, over $4600 was turned Into the state treasury. Other Facts Suppressed. "The Oregonian suppressed the fact that the Institutions have been run without deficiencies as in the past, and It suppressed the factthat nearly $28,000 of our appropriations will be turned back Into the general fund unused.? The Oregonian also suppressed the fact that the penitentiary will carry over January 1, In the revolving fund, about $14,000 In cash and stock. "It also suppressed the fact that labor had been furnished public insti tutions which if figured at only $1.50 per day would amount to over $78,000 or nearly double what the old stove foundry contract would produce. "It wtll be my purpose to discuss not only these things at the Armory - meeting but the general questions of the day, such as law enforcement and good government, the employed ques tion, and the- charge that the Ore s'' gonlan : some years ago took blood money from several state printers, and - In return - covered np the : state , printing craft ' The Rug Section Offers Moussoiils, Belbuchistans and Dagestans 37 Oriental Rugs Sixes 2 feet 6 inches by 4 feet 6 inches to 4 feet 7 inches by 6 feet 10 inches 37 rugs remaining from lota selling from $27.50 to $37.50.
