A cup of Ghirordelli's Cocoa
gives more nourishment, more
energy, more strength, than a
dozen breaKfast rolls, at a frac
tion of the cost. Don't quit eating
rolls but remember
LESS THAN A CENT A CUP
Is made with scrupulous, con
scientious care and old-fashioned
attention to cleanliness, purity,
goodness and quality. No cocoa
at any price can be better or more
delicious. Your grocer sells and

( HAIt(ii:i) l!V HIS KMI'IOVKItS.
The Portland Journal tells of the
downhill of O. M. Wliitum, the Port
land traveling man who was arrested
at Walla Walla a few days aso for
passing worthless checks in Eugemt
several weeks ago and 'ii.j
brought here by Sheriff Fisk who is
now on his way to Walla Walla.
The Journal says:
Fallen from the hliih estate and
humiliated and disgraced, G. M.
Whitson, well-known In this city as
the representative of the Colorado
Fuel & Iron company, the Guggen
heim syndicate, Is under arrest at
Walla Wulla chained with passing
worthless checks upon the manager
of the Hotel Smeede and the mana
ger of Jhe Chambers Hardware com
pany jf Eugene. The checks were
not for large amounts, 30 and $40,
and seemB a travesty upon the big
business deals that Whitson has put
through during his career In Port
land. To his friends the small
crimes to which Whitson Beems to
have stooped bear with the news of
them a diutlnct feeling of sorrow for
a man who has had so brilliant a fu
ture as Whitson.
Whitson superintended the sale by
his employers al all the steel that Is
contained In the Wells. Fargo build
ing and personally attended to Its
delivery. He sold millions of tons
of rails to the O. R. N. company and
the Hill lines and was considered one
of the Steel company's best men. His
troubles commenced with the "woes
of the sky-scraper." His deliveries
of tha steel frame work for the bla
express building were slow and there
was much complaint that Whitson
was not attending to business. The
affairs of the Steel company were
not managed as the head office
thought they should be and Whitson
was brought up with a sharp turn
by his employers. To his cottage
at Seaside Whitson retreated for sev
eral weeks and in his absence the
order came for his discharge.
Drink is said to have caused Whit
son's downfall. He drank to excess
while in Portland and when he went
to Southern Oregon, ostensibly for
the purpose of selling hardware for
a San Francisco firm, he Is said to
have continued bis debauches. Need
ing money he went to the proprietor
of the Smccrte hotel In Eugene and
asked him to cash a check on a Port
land bank -for $110. He then cashed
a $4(1 eheek on the same bank with
the Chambers Hardware Company.
Tho next morning Whitson left
Eugene for Portland, whence he de
parted for Walla Walla. The oheeki
came back to Eugeno marked "no
funds," and after consultation with
the Eugene authorities the hotel and
hardware people requested Sheriff
Flsk, of Eugene, to cause Whltson's
arrest. Requisition pnpers were ask
ed for at Salem today and granted
and Whitson will be brought back to
Eugeno for trial.
