Some years ago the
clothing market was
suddenly flooded

with cotton-mixed goods
"a fraud on the wearer-we
took a definite stand for all
wool fabrics in mems clothes.
Now comes time when high
er costs of materials and labor
are tempting everybody to low
prices for clothes; and we're
not afraid to meet the situa-
tion by saying, plainly, that
you'd better pay SIS for a suit
of clothes, if you really want
the greatest value for your
money.
Some men can't afford to paw
SIS; we make clothes to re.
tail as low as SIS; they're
good clothes; worth the
money. But many men are
wearing SIS, si6.5O, $3.50,
SIS suits who can afford
better clothes; there's econo-
my in paying SIS for ours.
If you want to pay SIS o.

my in them.
Be sure our mark is in them;

JAPAN'S NEXT BIG ADVANCE
lt viii Be for a Broader Life for Jap
anese Women, Is the Assertion
Made by Leaders.

The remarkable achievements of
Japan during the last half century
have chiefly been the work of it's edu-
Gated sons. The part played in its
international life by the gentler sex
has hitherto been insignificant. The
next step in Japan's progress must
be taken by its educated daughters,
for whose education along foreign
lines, especially in the languages Of
the great nations, Japan has made
provision by the establishment dur
ing the last rs years Of many educa-
tional institutions for girls and wom-
en-. But Japan has not yet come to
as full a realization as western ma
tons have of the significance of the
role played by women as social fac
tors. It is a m observation
among Americans that the careers of
japanese diplomatists, visitors and
residents in the United States are
greatly furthered by their wives or
daughters who have good knowledge
Of the English language and tact in
adapting themselves to American
usages. For Japan's attainment of
social equality with western nations
nothing could be more urgent than
the education and modernization of
her women.-Bulletin Of the Japan
Society.

BOAT MAKES TWO
PORTAGES To AGNESS

A. H. Gunnen, who has recently
returned from the trip down the
river under the guidance of A. Au-
berry. reports the ride down the tur-
bulent Rogue as one of the greatest
interest, filled with adventure,
though absolutely safe under so ex-
pert a riverman as Aubery. Two
portages were made between Grants
Pass and Agness, one at Rogue
River falls and the other at Blossom
Bar. The ride through He'll Gate,
Mr.. Gunnell says, is quiet indeed
compared with some of the wilder
water below. He recommends, how
ever. that greenhorn commit sui
eide nearer home rather than at
tempt to run the river without a man
of experience in the party. Mr.. Gun
nell made a study of the stream
and took a series of photographs
bearing upon the work necessary to
make the Rogue navigable to Grants
Pass. At Agness Mr. Gunnell and
b. p Miller, the Portland mining
man who accompanied him, re-
turned to West Fork over the trail,
Mr.. Miller returning to his home in
the north and Mr.. Gunnell coming
on to. Grants Pass. They made an
inspection of mining properties on
the lower river. and developments
are expected to follow their report
At Agness Mr.. Aubery, who was to
proceed on down the river to Gold
Beach to fish for the cannery during
the season, met the bad luck to lose
part of his outfit by fire. While alb
sent from the camp the bedding,
clothing, rife and some other camp
eQuippage were destroyed by fire that
was either OF incendiary origin or
that caught from a camp fire that
was not fully extinguished Mr..
Aubery did not lose his nets and
ohter fishing paraphernalia, as that
was in the boat at the time of the
fire.

scowls today still threw a shadow
over the roseate hues of the straw

tie of two sQuaw berry pickers on
the streets. The battle lasted near
ly half an hour and was stopped
only when spectators began to think
the papooses siung on the women's s
backs might receive injuries.
Without warning, one squaw flew
at the others hair and the attacked
party jerked the nursing bottle from
babys lips and swatted The women
were finally separated and sent back
to the berry patches, though what.
ever grievances they had were not
patched up.

GILL'S TRAVEL TOURS
HERE NEXT WEEK.

Concerning the Gill Talking and
Sound Motion Pictures, which come
TO the opera house three nights be-
ginning next Monday, an editorial
writer in the Sacramento Star, says
This editorial may sound like
an advertisement for The Pantages
theater, but we assure you that
neither The Pantages nor the Gill
Travel Picture company nor any one
else is paying one cent for it.
The writer simply went to The
Pantages to see the wonderful travel
pictures last night, and although he
is newspaper man in fairly good
standing, insisted on buying his
ticket for cash.
"As result of that visit The Star
wishes to express the hope right
here that every boy and girl in this
city will go right down to The Pan
tages theater tonight and see those
marvellous pictures from many lands.
The pictures will only be here
two days more, but maybe We can
persuade the manager to bring them
back for another week a little later.
In these decadent days when
vaudeville so often means sug-
gestive hodge podge of vulgarity and
cheap singing and worse acting, it is
positive pleasure to editorially
recommend this remarkable series
of pictures. Take our word for 1t
and go. You will thank us after
wards"
