against the department stores for
some time, and the people OF
Portland have been educated to
such an extent that the business
OF the department stores has in
creased wonderfully !; in fact SO
much SO that one of the largest
department stores IN Portland has
sent East for plans for a new
building several times larger than
its present store.
The people of Portland recog-
nize that their trading can be
done to much better advantage
and with much better satisfaction
in department. stores than else
where, and this no doubt is the
experience everywhere where
there are department stores that
deal honorab1y with their custo-
merS.
"The American people are not
fools. They are not doll. On
the contrary they are shrewd and
wide awake. They readily find
where it is to their advantage to
do trading.

Remembered Sutherland Evictions.

There has just died at Kirtomey. on
the northeast coast of Sutherland. Mrs.
Betsy Mackay, at the age of 102. She
was native of Strathnaver. and was
a grown-up woman when that fertile
and once populous strath-about eight
cen miles long-was ruthlessly cleared
of its inhabitants in the second decade
of this century. She had a vivid recol-
lection and many stories to tell of the
narrowing scenes witnessed when old
and young, weak and strong, were
turned OUT of their homes The peo-
pie got half an hours notice to pack up
their belongings before the torch was
applied to the thatch of their dwellings.
The burning lasted six days, and from
one eminenee over 250 blazing cottages
could be countedi A very different
state of things, it is pleasing to record,
prevails on the Sutherland property
nowadays.-Westmi Gazette.

When it comes to a matter of price
as to which house is the most like
ly to spare your purse-the advantage
is certainly with the clothing store
that buys in the largest quantities
and from the best makers.

Lambert's Listerine.

The absolute safety of Listerine,
its efficacy as antiferment and its
agreeable taste and odor, give it high
place as an anti-septic and for inter-
nal administrations in digestive dis
orders, diarrhea, etc. Listerine is
also the best known preparation for
the teeth and gums, and a few drops
of it in tumbler of water makes a
delightful mouth wash.
There are many Listerine prepara-
lions on the market, some of them
very inferior. We carry Lambert s.
that is the genuine article and the
best. Price, 15c bottle.

"All this talk about Klondyke being
the richest country the world has known
is bosh," says General Chas. Warren in
the Western Mining World. "Aulder
Gulch, in Montana, produced 500 ,0OO,-
900 in gold and was probably the great
est placer country ever discovered on
earth. Virginia City, the old capitol of
Montana, was located there. 1t was
discovered in 1863, and 81. 600, 900 in gold
were taken out of the sands the first
year.. In 1865 the Archie McGregor com
papy secured $4,000, 900 in 80 days off
of Montata Gulch. They bought all the
beer kegs there were in the county, put
the gold in the kegs, hired twenty men
with Henry rifles, built Mackinaw boats
and f1oated down the Missouri river.
Last Chance Gulch, where Helena is
situated, for many years pever failed to
take out as much wealth as the entire
Alaska country has taken.
If Dir. Preston, director OF the U. S.
mint, is a trustworthy prophet the de-
cline. in the price of silver is likely to
continue until about o%ne-fourth Of the
present price has been chopped off.
Speaking of the matter, Mr.. Preston
said: 81 see no future for silver what
ever, ifty-six cents an ounce is the cur
rent quotation. 1t is my honest opinion
that within six months silver will fall to
forty cents an ounce. There is no de-
mand for it anywhere; China is not
buying any, Japan is out OF the business,
and there seems to be no demand for 1t
in any country to any extent, even to
use as subsidiary coinage" Other men
oil prominence who nave studied the
silver question long and earnestly de-
cline to put themselves on record as pos
itively as Mr.. Preston does, but nearly
-exeryene questioned whose opinion is
entitled t o weight expressed grave doubts
about the future of silver.

THE CALLS WRITER WIRES !:

As a result of a head-end collision be-
tween the locomotives of train No. 81,
bound for Oroville from Sacramento and
the engine of a special freight from Red
Bluff to Sacramento at l o'clock this
afternoon, the remains of William
Geery, the engineer OF the Oroville train,
occupies a slab in the morgue in this
city, and a weeping widow, who waited
in vain his arrival at his destination, is
grief-stricken.
The accident occurred between Four
teenth and Fifteenth streets and be-
tween the FROM dairy and the race
track, at a point where there is a slight
curve in the road. The railroad men
are reticent as regards the cause OF the
catastrophe, and what particulars were
secured are the accumulation of scat
tering data. The Oroville train left a
few minutes behind time with Engineer
Geery at the throttle and Percy Bryan
as fireman. When near Fourteenth
street the brakeman espied the approach
ing freight train and notified the engin-
eer, who reversed his engine and brought
it nearly to a standstill.
The freight train being very heavy
could not be controlled so easily, and be-
fore it could be stopped crashed into the
Oroville train, The front trucks Of the
engine of the extra train were derailed
and the rear end slightly telescoped
with the first box ear; the pilots Of
both engines were totally demolished
After the collision Engineer Geery was
found lying unconscious at the front Of
his engine with his left foot badly
crushed and a slight abrasion on the

where they had no right to be without

THE EpMISER SAYS; a9
The local passenger and freight train
which runs between. Sacramento and
Oroville left Woodland yesterday under
orders to reach Marysville as quickly as
possible in order to pass a fast freight
which was coming from Red Bluff.
The train made such quick time to
Marysville that it was thought it could
reach what is known as Binny% Junction,
about a mile north of Marysville. At
this point there's a-curye in the road,
so that a train from Red Bluff could not
be seen, except for a short distance. A
the engineer, and the fireman says:
81 was on the engine, intending to
open a switch we were approaching. l
saw the fast freight coming down upon
us at full speed. l shouted and sprang
out of the cab. The fireman was throw
ing wood into the furnace and had the
door open. He did not stop to shut it,
but sprang from the other side of the
cab. Geery gave warning to the con-
ductor and then reversed his engine.
He had the train Stacked and almost to
standstill when h. jumped from the cab"
A boy who was sitting on the fence
near the scene of the accident says when
Geery sprang from the cab he fell back
wards and was caught by the driving
wheels Of the engine, which were re-
volving, and was thrown by them with
great force to the ground, fatally injur-
ing him. When aid reached him he
said that he was not crushed and had
net been under the engine. 1t was. seen,
however. that he was fatally injured,
and he only lived an hour alter the acct
dent.
Judge Morrison of San Francisco, who
wasa passenger ON the train, said this
evening on his arrival here:
1--WE were behind time at Woodland
and were behind time at Marysville.
When we left Marysville we ran slowly.
/ do not think We were going over six
miles an hour when the other train
drew nea Our train was almost if not
quite at a standstill when the other
engine struck us. The engine OF the
freight was badly smashed and the front
part of our engine was also smashed.
There were but five of us in the car.
One lady, Mrs. Tarmont, was consider
ably injured"
