Necessary If Not UsefuI,

Persons who have bad business at the
various railroad stations lately. have doubt
less noticed that just in front of each ticket
window there hangs a copy of the passenger
tariff of the road, and also oftentimes of
connecting roads, Although this is recog-
nized by many as a convenience, it is to be
doubted if many people know the cause of its
presence. 1t appears that one Of the provi-
sions Of the interstate law Is that the tariff
must be conspicnously posted up and strict
ly adhered to. Hence the innovation. An
agent explaining this to a PRESS reporter
remarked that SO far as ne could see they
did no good, for nobody had yet appeared
understood how to trace the rate on them.

INO make that part of
the store that is de-
voted to fancy work
as attractive as possible to
the strangers who are visit
ing Portland at this time,
we have taken one entire
side of the largest circular
counter at the end of the
store for the display of the
wholesale and reserve stock
of fancy articles of our own
manufacture.
Baskets, bags, pillows,
drapery scarfs, tides and
things of that sort-usually
left in boxes and drawers,
because Of their delicate,
fragile texture-have been
brought out where they can
be seen by everybody, each
piece marked in plain fig
ures, doing away with the
bother of asking.
Kun mer bund sashes
for men, made from soft,
washable silks with hemmed
edges and fringed ends
quite the thing for flannel
suit.
Some new ones, slight and
dark, have been added to
our collection today.
Neglige shirts for men
and boys, and their coun-
terparts, the blouses for
women and girls. We sell
a good blouse for 81 lac,
shirt for $I.oo-neither of
them wool of course-you
couldn't expect it. From
these prices up are all
kinds, colors, qualities, sorts
and sizes-an immense line
and the prices won't dis
discourage you.
The coolest place for
shopping in a hot day is in
our basement department.
By an arrangement of ven
tilators at each end a draft
of cool, clear dry air is kept
constantly circulating
through the entire length Of
this big room, a comforta-
BILE relief from the dust and
heat of the street.
There's a big music box
down here, too, wound up
all the time, adding exquis-
lite melody to the other and
more material attractions
of the place.
Strangers in town will
find this a most satisfactory
place to get many little
things; that a summer away

anese departments here
containing novelties not to
