We want our customers to
know that we are satisfied to
do business right here at the
old stand Portland is good
enough for US.
Upward of twenty years. Of
experience has taught US
that the people of Portland
appreciate reliable ways of
doing business, and only re.
liable stores succeed in the
end.
We have seen many Of the
smart men come and build
up large business on cheap
advertising, and then the
city suddenly grew too small
for them; but the city is still
left and the smart men are
not missed; so it will be, we
expect, for all time.
We shall continue to make
the old store a stronger mag
net than ever for your money,
by giving you only clothing
that we can guarantee TO be
a generous moneys worth
every time.

Rays from the Headlight.

The ST. Paul road is said to have begun
a very aggressive retrenchment policy in
the hope of getting back some of the
money they lost asst year. They have
begun to cut the pay of their employees.
and greater reductions are expected to
follow. A ST. Paul dispatch says:
For soma months railroad men have
| been predicting a reduction of salaries on
certain northwestern railroad lines as the
next step in the move for retrenchment,
which has been felt through the entire
winter. but it will occasion no little sur
prise that the old and time-tried Milwau,
kee road should be the first TO put such q
plan into effect. Last Wednesday a secret
| order went forth reducing wages of q
large number of employees S3a per cent.
1t is understood that the reduction is
confined principally to the agents aud
clerks, of which he road employs a
small army. At tie same time there Is
feeling that all the other EN-
ployes OF the road will be called
upon shortly TO share in the rhtrench-
ment so literally begun. Coming
az it does just after the preliminary an
ton of the road TIT. cut has an especial
Significance. A special meeting of the
board of directors of the company has
been called for next Tuesday In Milwau>
kee. Such call is quite unprecedented
in the history of the road. 1t has given
rise to the belief that the dissatisfaction
with the management of the road has
taken a definite form, and some develops
ments OF startling nature are looked
for. A curious thing about the present
reduction of salaries is that is retroac-
tive, the order having been issued on the
9th to take effect on the LIST"
