Who Is Inside of This Shirt ?
Would be hard to guess, but if it
is one of our patrons you can be
sure that it is a man who is well
satisfied when he gets it on. The
man who gets behind a shirt front
laundered here always beams with
satisfaction when he sees the ex
quisite color and finish that we have
laid upon it. Our work is the
acme of perfection on shirts, col
lars and cuffs and you can't match
it anywhere.

J. P. Goodhue, of Walla Walla, Claims
Distinction of Being Oldest Ex.
pressman In the West Tells of H
First Trip Out of Portland.
Joseph P. Goodhue, local ngent for
the Northern Pacific Express com'
pany Is without doubt the oldest ex
pressman on tho active list on tho
Pacific coast, says the Union. He
carried express in Oregon as early as
18G5 and made his first trip as an ex
press messenger Into Fort Walla
Walla In February 1860.
He helped to make history as did
those other pioneers who gathored
at the recent reunion.
Mr. Goodhue was a sailor In his
youth and left his old home In Mas
sachusetts just 50 years ago the 26th
of September, coming west by way
of Cape Horn. A peculiar colucl
dence. says Mr. Goodhue, Is the fact
that half a century after he left the
old homestead his granddaughter
went to the old home to reside. Tho
old expressman tells an amusing
story of his Initial trip as an express
messenger.
'I was employed," he said, to car
ry express and mall from roruano
to Corvallls and along the Rogue
river valley. I was a sailor ami
knew comparatively nothing about
horse. They asked If I could ride
and I said I believed bo as I had set
main royal yard in a pale. So they
gave me an old mule and a big pair
of Mexican spurs. I called them
stern wheelers."
Everything was peaceful until the
travelers reached a cross roads.
Goodhue's destination lay to tho left
but the mule wanted to go to the
right. The spurs were used and the
fun began.
The beast ran into the timber ana
came down sun leggea, cununuuu
Mr Goodhue, "and from the way the
mule behaved I thought I had In
jured It. I ventured to lean forward
to look at my animal and In an In
stant I was sprawling on the ground.
The mule galloped away.
"I saw a tall lank Missourlan com
ing up the road and yelled to him to
stop my steed. He did so and when
I reached him remarked, 'He doesn't
seem to be hurt much,' tho fellow re
lieved himself of a good old Missou
ri chuckle and informed me that he
reckoned tho creature wa'nt hurt
much. Then he told ine Mi mult,
had been trying to get me off.
Weil Just hell) me aboard, I said
but he did not understand nie and I
had to explain that l wanted on the
mule's back nnd not a piece of lum
ber. After I got nicely settled on
Mr. Mule I sent my spurs into the
bntte's sides, the blood spurted and
away he dashed, but I stuck to him
like grim death and finished the
Journey."
Itatlon was permitted and an effort
to put a stop to It was made by flir,
Wilcox.
When tho action of Delegate WH
cox became known In the colony for
some time It was feared that there
would ho n general revolt among the
leners. and when the committee vis
ited them it was with great difficulty
that they were prevented from as
saultlng the investigating committee.
Delegate Wilcox was tho principal
object of their wrath and If It hnd
not been for tho timely Interference
ho would have been eivon a coat of
tar and feathers by the enraged lop-
ers.
It has not been decided Just what
action will bo taken In this matter,
but no doubt a move will bo made to
bring tho colony under more "igld
discipline In order to prevent tho
continuance of the existing condl
tlons.
Rev, Dr. Olmsted Consecrated.
Utlca, N. Y Oct. 2. The consecra
tlon of Rev. Dr. Charles Tyler Olm
stnd. former rector of St. Agnes'
Chapel, Trinity Parish, New York, as

Ing ecclesiastical ceremonial. The ed

Hart, D. D., of the Berkeley Divinity

ty that was very impressive. It In
cluded the examination of the candi
date, the promise of conformity to
tho church canons, the assumption of
tho Episcopal vestments, the laying
on the consecrator's hands, and the
final announcement of the complete
consecration. Later in the day a

Threatened Delegate Wilcox by Lep
ers of Wawail.
San Francisco Oct. 2. Word has
just reached here Tom Honolulu
that Delegate Wilcox narrowly escap'
ed being tarred p.nd feathered In the
leper colony.
The bill Intro luced by Delegate
Wilcox which piovldea for the seg
regatlon of the sexes n the leper coV
ony has almost created a rovoP of
the lepers, and aroused their ai ger
to such an extent that when the
commission, of which Wilcox was a
member, visited the colony for the
purpose of making an investigation,
an attempt was made to give him a
coat of tar and leathers.
As a result of a report to the com
mlsssion which showed that unlaw'
ful cohabitation was being universal
ly indulged In among the lepers Del
egate Wilcox introduced a bill pro
viding that the men and women of
the colony be separated In order to
prevent such a state of affairs It
was shown that many illegal child

Rapid Transit at the World's Fair.
World's Fair, St. Louis, Oct. 2. It
111 cost $750,000 to construct aud
quip the rapid transit system upon
tho World's Fair grounds. The length
f the road and its branches will be
eight miles and it will enable visitors
to see tho vast exposition with as lit
tle fatigue as possible. The problem
planning the intra-mural road has
been to place It whero it would not
mar the beauty of the exposition.
Eminent engineers have been called
into consultation and all phases of
the project thoroughly studied. It
Is believed the plan presented by
Charles v. Weston, of Chicago, comes
nearest to a perfect solution of the
difficulty. Owing to the varying al
titudes of the exposition grounds the
road will be at times an elevated line
and In other parts built at grade or
below the surface. The trip on the
intra-mural will be one of the most
delightful diversions for visitors to
the exposition.
Continental Hotel Sale.
Philadelphia, Pa., Oct, 2. Follow
lng in tho line of recent change and
Improvement that has been so marked
in Philadelphia during the last year.
'the Continental hotel, long one of the
Quaker City's most famous hostelries
Is likely soon to pass into history. A
meeting of the stockholders was held
today at which proposals to sell the
property were discussed. It Is assert
ed in certain quarters that Slegel,
Cooper & Co.. of New York and Chi
cago, want the hotel site for a depart
ment store, while others declare that
a New York insurance company In
tends to erect an oflce building on
the corner. However true these ru
mors may be, it appears certain that
the hotel -itself will soon pass out of
existence.
Canadian Cotton Losses,
Ottowa. Ont., Oct. 2. The cotton
situation in Canada is said to be criti
cal and the companies engaged in
that trade are clamoring for Increased
protection. The competition of Amer
ican slaughter sales of prints and the
preference of 33 1-3 per cent given to
English goods nre held accountable
for tho losses sustained by the Cana
dian companies. The Hon. J. Israel
Tarto, the minister of public works,
has spent considerable time visiting
tho cotton factories and declares him
self In favor ot protection for the Ca
nadian industry.
