SUMMER GOODS Thursday July 7, 1904 TO UATIIKR KXII1IIITS. borrow County Lewis nnd Clark Club Organized. Jefferson Myers, president of the Lewis and Clark Fair Commission and G. Y. Harry, a member of the com mission were in Heppner a couple of 3ays this week for the purpose of get ting the people of Morrow county in terested in getting an exhibit for the big fair to be held in Portland next year. Both President Myers and Commis sioner Harry are hard workers and are lrlv interested in the matter of county exhibits and succeeded in cre ating considerable interest and enthu siasm in the matter of collecting acred- itable exhibit from this county.' ""Two meetings were held. Tuesday evening temporary organization was ef fected and Judge T. W. Ayers was elected chairman and R. F. Hynd, sec retary. Wednesday evening an organization was effected to be known as the Morrow County Lewis and Clark Club, with Judge T. W. Ayers as president and C. K.Woodson as secretary. A com mittee was appointed consisting of Judge T. W. Ayers, May or Frank Gilliam, and Geo. Conser, who is one of the commissioners, to take the matter in hind of gathering exhibits. President Myers delivered an inter esting address and impressed the im portance of early action in order to get the exhibits of grain, grasses, fruits, etc, this year, which is absolutely nec-1 essary for an exhibit at the fair. Mr. Myers explained that for transportation from Morrow county for all exhibits will not cost one dollar. That a suit able and attractive booth would be fur nished free of charge, and that it all de pended upon the patriotism of our home people in collecting an exhibit of our resources in order for Morrow county to be properly represented. Silver Dollars Will Not be Coined. "There will never bo another silver dollar coined in this country," said George E. Roberts, director of the United States Mint, in an interview in the Oregonian. "No there will be no more new silver dollar pieceB turned out of the Govern ment's money plant unless by some chance a 16-to-l Congress should be elected, for the supply of silver bullion purchased under Sherman act is ex hausted." From July 14, 1890, when the Sher man law went into effect, until it was repealed in 1893, the Government bought 155,000,000 ounces of silver. This has gradually been worked up into dollars until the present time, when each coinage has ceased, in all proba bility never to be resumed, Mr, Roberts continued : "Our records show a remarkable in crease in the gold production of the world during the past decade. For the year 18!K), the output of the world's gold mines amounted to 8120,000.000, in J,S9:j it was 125.000,000, in 1903 be tween 8o25,000,000 and 8330,000, our figures are not complete, and for 1904 it will, in all liklihood, be f350,000,000. The annual gold output of the world has nearly trebled in ten years. That's why there is no 'silver question.' "Most people think the mints are busy coining gold. They are mistaken. The bulk of the work we do is in the making of copper cent pieces and nick els. The profits derived from the coin age of these two coins last year amount ed to almost $2,000,000, which paid all the operating expenses. We buy a pound of copper for 15 cents and 'make 144 cent pieces oat of It, Nickel costs 40 cents a pound, and a pound makes One Lot of Ladies TAILORED SUITS One Lot of Shirt Waists AT I m l VE Vw- T I AT HALF PRICE HALF PRICE We sh-ill endeavor to make this July lonj? to be remembered by our patrons for the matchless bargains they ffot here in Summer Goods during this July Clean-up Sale.

It took the jury just thirty minutes to decide upon the return of a verdict of guilty in the first degree, in the case of Frank Guglielmo, charged with the murder of Freda Guarascio, the 16-year-old Italian girl whom he killed on June 14. Miss Guarascio bad spurned the attentions of her murderer. Guglielmo's attorney will take an appeal to the supreme court, but it Is not stated on what grounds. for 1905 Souvenirs. Washington, June 30. Secretary Shaw today approved a design for the Lewis and Clark souvenir gold dollar, which has been prepared at the Phila delphia mint in acoordance with the wi6h of the Exposition authorities. It calls for a likeness of Lewis on one side, encircled by the words "United States of America, One Dollar," while a portrait of Clark will appear on the other side, with the words "Lewis and Clark Exposition, Portland, Oregon." In returning the design to the Phila delphia mint, Secretary Shaw directed that the dies be prepared at once, and that 25,000 dollars be immediately coined. Mint officials say it will be im possible, with this first lot of coin, at least, to use Oregon gold, as requested by Senator Mitchell. It is desired to complete these coins as soon as possible, in order that they may be turned over to the Exposition authorities, who will purchase them at par value. As the Exposition authorities may desire from time to time, additional souvenir dol lars will be coined up to the maximum limit of 250,000 fixed by law, The law forbids the "publication of pictures of United States money. For this reason Secretary Shaw could not giye out copies of the design of the Lewis and Clark dollar.
