Newspaper Page TextNow Ready at the Up-to-Date Store of FRANK A: CRAM'S. The new goods were never so rich in appearance and were never so LOW PHICED as they will be this season at this store. - Our cash system permits us to take every advantage of the market as we sell for cash we are enabled to buy With cash, thus insuring our increasing list of customers the best goods produced for the least possible cost. We own every staple we will require this this year at prices based on 8c cotton, and no matter who raises prices on these goods we will not, as we have bought and paid for them at the lowest cash price, and can sell cotton goods as cheap as most merchants can buy the same goods for, all remarks to the contrary notwithstanding. We are going after the biggest year's business we have ever known, and have the prices to offer as inducement to you to help us swell the grand total. Our expenses are the lowest that exist. Our goods are all sold for spot cash. We buy everything for spot cash. When we sell 12 pairs of shoes we get the money for every pair. Can we sell the shoes cheaper than the man who sells 12 pairs and gets paid for 10 pairs, and loses the price of two pairs? Who pays for the two pairs that some one failed to pay for? You are all too good business men and women not to know that those wjio pay for the shoes they get, also pay for .the shoes which some one else got, but did not pay for. The merchant can't loose it. His business must show interest on the investment, so he must charge more for goods than the cash store sells them for. A trial is convincing. NOTE A complete stock of Butterick Patterns on hand.

Her hurt is very painful, and Miss Rob erts has the sympathy of her many friends. J. R. Ballard visited an old friend of his at Hood River last week. He sayB they tell wonderful tales of what their fruit growers do up there, and if the half lie true, then a gold mine is not in it for value as compared with an apple orchaid or a Btrawberry tield. One man with a 30-acre orchard claimed to have cleared $800 per acre last year. Hood Riverites thi;ik no land under the sun can grow such fruit as theirs and they value it accordingly.

A precious one from us Is gone, A voice we hived Is still: A pliice Is vrchm In our home, Which never can be tilled. God In his wisdom has recMlled The boon his love had given. And though the body moulders here, The soul is safe in heaven. Council Proceedings. The common council met in regular session Monday night with Acting May or J. E. Rand in the chair. Those pres ent were: Mayor Rand; Conncitmen Bailey, McDonald, Maves, Prat.her; Re corder Nickelsen and Marshal Fraley. Mayes from the committee on streets and public property reported the condi tion of the streets to be perhaps the worst in the history of the city, but could sug gest no remedy until the weather be comes more propitious. Bailey, of the health committee, re ported an inspection of the city this week and that he found the sanitary condition of the municipality much like that of Havana, Cuba, at the time of American occupation. He seemed to think we had too many Queen Anne fronts with Mary Anne back yards for a continuous felicitous state of health in the city, that unless we accomplish a renovation in certain quarters we are liable to come up against everything from measles to bubonic plague during the heated term approaching. Like his distinguished comrade from the street committee, he could see no relief until after the effects of the vernal equi nox has worn off of the weather de partment and Observer Beals begins to disense sunshine instead of rain. Ordinance 80, regulating the salary ot the city marshal passed second read ing and was unanimously adopted. Ordinance 81, presented by Council man McDonald, regulating the closing of business houses on Sunday, passed lirst reading and was referred to the iudi ciaary committee.
