That young men have settled and

of The Dalles, where we find them fully
represented in all that character and
growth to its rapid development. The

A most important question with all
housekeepers is, "'Where shall we buy
our provisions?" Ali endeavor to find
the store which deals in the best and
purest goods and which makes money go
the longest way. John Booth is the
man who has just that store which is
located in a central place at C2 Second

bring their trade to so neat. iuid fresh
looking store as Mr." Booth keeps and
when ence you have purchased there
vou will find the stock as fresh; pure,
cleanly and orderly kept as all parts of
the establi.braont. ine stock emoraces

' ' The Colombia Brewery
In every land and every clime there is
one beverage-found to which many rep
resentatives ot.ull people naturally turn
North, east, south and west all "meet and
pledge-one another m nut brown beer,
It is truly a cosmopolitan drink - and
whether the traveler be ta Europe, Asia,
Africa, America or Australia he need
not travel far to find 'a foaiuing- glass.
The German race was - for a time its
principal user, but when its gentle, stim
ulating and 'healthful qualities became
known, its consumption was widespread
and in all lands it Boon became the
popular beverage and today in the
United States millions upon uiillicn's of
dollars are invested in the brewing in
dustry and the product reaches many
million more. The fact that chemical
analysis of pure beer demonstrates its
health giving and strengthening, quali
ties commends it iq homes as a result of
a physician's prescription. That author
ities recite that beer in moderation -can
hurt none, and benefit most people,, is
also a circumstance that warrants its
general use. The city of The Dalles can
jnstly claim one of the finest and best
equipped browerys in E stern Oregon,
that owned, by August Buchler, and is
located in the eastern part of the city.
Just sixteen years Mr. Buchler left
Winehea-t's brewery, of Portland, and
took possession of the Columbia Brewery
and for years plodded ou in his doubtful
undertaking, and as persistence sur
mounts all obstacles, so he too marched
steadily to the front and today he owes
a whole city of buildings, beet houses,
malt houses, ice houses and store bouses
almost without number, which contain
all the latest improved machinery which
with Mr. Buchler's experience form
an invincible combination and be is one
"of- the 'leading brewers of the coast
His brewery has a capacity of 10,000
barrel and finds an easy market through
out Northeastern Oregon, Washington
and Idaho- Employment is furnished to
several men, also a bottling establish'
iner.t fot the bottling of his beer and
poter forias, an important adjunct ot the

enterprising, liberal and progressive
business man.- He lives in a comforta

to -do so. This institution should be

fancy goods, and this fact, together with
their reasonable prices and excellent
