The fact of our carrying so many models in

fied by the standard of the make. There is
no make of corsets that stands higher and we
doubt if there is one that stands so high.
If you are not familiar with them, give us an
opportunity to demonstrate to you their sev
eral excellent points.
We carry all the necessary models for fitting
any and all types of form.
No small factor in the comfort of these cor

STATEMENT GAINS STRENGTH
Many Republican Legislative Candi
dates Are Flopping Over to Its
Support.
Portland Telegram.
Within the past sis weeks Statement
No. 1 has suddenly developed strength,
or perhaps Its latent strength is just
becoming exposed. When the Mult
nomah Bepublicans held their con
vention it was supposed by at least one
faction that there would be no state
ment ticket and reports from various
parts of the state indicated that the
statement was dead, or in the last
stages of unpopularity. Since then
there has been a radical change.
James U. Cam pbell, whoa short tl me
ago was opposed to Statement No. 1
has flopped completely over and is now
a candidate for a legislative nomina
tion in Clackamas County on the state
ment His transformation is the same
as that of several other Bepublicans
in Clackamas, although a few weeks
ago there were many Bepublicans who
were asserting that the anti-statement
forces would carry the primaries. S. F.
Blchardson, of La Grande, who seeks
a nomination to the Legislature,
flopped yesterday. He was not in favor
of the statement and now that it is too
late to change his platform on the
ballot be announces himself as a
believer in Statement No. 1, and prom
ises to abide by the people's choice.
Richardson wishes the voters of his
district to consider him a statement
nominee.
These are only a few of the number
who have suddenly discovered that
they started off on the wrong foot.
While Marion County has been spoken
of as a rabid anti-statement county,
reports now coming in contradict the
first prediction. The statement men
say that Marion will be in the state
ment column and that the statement
candidates will carry Salem by about
300. Outside of Salem, the statement
men say that the ticket will win hands
down.
On the west side of the Willamette
Valley a number of county conven
tions have been held, at which anti
statement resolutions have been
adopted. Bepublicans from these sec
tions are now coming forward with
the assertions that these conventions
did not represent the sentiment of
those localities. There were many
precincts in which only a few Bepub
licans got together and elected them
selves delegates, while the majority
paid no attention to the convention.
Yamhill county is said to be one of
these and Coos another. Bepublicans
who have come to Portland in the past
few weeks contend that there is dis
satisfaction over the conventions
adopting anti-statement resolutions,
and they assert that old-time political
manipulators are the ones who engi
neered these resolutions through the
conventions.
The juggling of Its platform by the
Hodson ticket in Multnomah county
has not strengthened the cause of the
anti-statement cohorts throughout
Oregon. The Portland politicians are
naturally looked to for advice and
precedent, and thefloppingof the Hod
son ticket has made their followers in
outside counties rather nervous. In
Portland, itself, the statement feeling
is growi n g.more prom I nen t, especially
since the announcement of the State
ment No. 1 Legislative ticket and the
failure to secure a third ticket among
the business men.
This sentiment for the statement is
looked on with satisfaction by the
Cake followers, while the Fulton
managers are doing nothing to
antagonize such candidates as have
subscribed to the statement
Dallas Defeats Snohomish.
In a fast game last night Dallas
College defeated the champions of
Washington, at Snohomish, by a
score of 41 to 14.
Dry fir cord wood wanted In any
quantity up to 600 oords ; to be delivered
In Dallas or Falls City. For further
particulars, call on, or address, Salem
Falls City & Western By. Co., Dallas.
The funeral of August Gerlinger,
who was killed by an explosion In
the oar shops Wednesday, will be
held at the Presbyterian church, Sat
urday afternoon at 1 o'clock. The re
main may be viewed at Chapman's
Chapel before the time for holding the
funeral services.
The Observer will lose Tery few sub
scrtbers by the new postal ruling
