SEATTLE
Dry Goods Store

Has created great CONSERVATION amongst
the men employed in other establishments,
for the facts have become known that the
Seattle Dry Goods Store" sells goods so
cheap that the masses of the ladies availed
themselves of the opportunity Of laying in
large supply of the bargains, 10 such an
extent, indeed, that several dry goods
stores in the city have discharged quite .
number of their help for their business
has diminished AZ fast as the Seattle Dry
Goods Stores has increased, consequent
ly some of the stores have found out that
it does not pay to keep 'topen house" and
pay lights: so in order to save gas they
have commenced TO close their places of
; business very early, and as misery always
likes company, they asked the Seattle
Dry Goods Store to close also. The
manager of the Seattle Dry Goods Store
has found that it would be great incon-
venience to a vast number of their Gus
TONERS, for many of them are employed
and they have 10 do their trading after
their days work is done. They. of course.
come to the Seattle Dry Goods Store, !"
in the Burke block, 903 Second street, for
all their goods, for well they know it is the
greatest bargain house" in the city, and
the assortment is immense; hence it is that
they all go there. Now, some Of the dry
goods clerks, fearing that if the Seattle
Dry Goods Store" keeps on at its present
rate, it would soon get all the business and
their employers would have TO give up,
which would neeessitate their losing their
positions, they are trying ali In their power
to close up the Seattle Dry Goods Store !"
at the unreasonable hour of 6 p. MIN
broad daylight We did not open here for
the benefit of our health. but for the ex-
press accommodation of our patrons and
ourselves. If our numerous customers
would ask US 10 close up at an hour they
would suggest. or else our employees, then
we would most cheerfully do anything to
please either Of them, for we always be-
lieye our employees are as good as ourselves
and they deserve the best possible treat
ment. We allow them many privileges
that others do not get elsewhere. We see
that they are not overworked, and We pay
them well, so that none of them are dis
satisfied.
word 10 the narrow-minded clerks
of other houses: Don't lose courage,
..bovs." We don't want the earth, nor do
we expect TO do all the business, so don't
waste all your time trying to close the
Seattle Dry Goods Store, +" for it win take
GOOD care of itself. Use some of your
time in working up q trade for your en-
movers. Get them TO lower their prices
something like ours in the Seattle Dry
Goods Store" Then you will merit the
patronage of the ladies and be wise; but
be men. and not like ''beggars," asking
pstronage through sympathy" We do
not ask any sympathy; We do business by
selling goods so low that none can COM
pete. All will admit that at the Seattle
DRY Goods Store" the greatest bargains
Won viii get. The store closes at $50 ..
M. sharp. Remember the place,

SUING FOR sHALE.
The Gas Light Company's Claim Against
the Oregon Improvement Company.

the Oregon Improvement Company.
The case of the Oregon Improvement Com
pany against the Seattle Gas Light Company was
ended yesterday in Judge Osborn's court It il
suit for Sl6S40 for wharfage for landing Al
tons OF shsle on Ocean dock in July, 1890, at %
cents per ton.
Not only did the gas company refuse TO pay
the wharfage, but il embodied in its answer 8
counter claim for 81 $50 for loss of eighty tons Of
shale valued az $50 per ton. The gas COM
pany claims that on July II, 1890, 1t applied
TO the Oregon improvement Company for a
berth for the ship Kate Davenport, for the pur-
pose OF discharging sol tons of shsle; that the
ship was directed to go 70 the Old Ocean dock,
where a berth was given her. II Is claimed that
when about 800 tons of the shale had been un-
loaded, the wharf, which was old and rotten,
gave way, precipitating eighty tons of the shale
into the bay. Negligence is charged to the Ore
gon Improvement Company in not repairing q
deeaying and unsafe wharf, but that COM any
claims to have notified the gas company that it
would not be safe to have much of a load on the
wharf, and that IL directed the company to re-
move the shale as rapidly as il was unloaded,
and not allow it TO accumulate, but that its di-
rections were not obeyed, and hence the acct
dent The evidence was finished yesterday
afternoon, and after argument by Colonel J. C.
Haines for the plaintiff and E. F. Blaine for the
defendant, the case was given TO the jury, who
were instructed to bring in a sealed verdict.
