Mr. Hunter of the Dollarway paving is here and says he will cheapen the cost of paving in La Grande, which is good news to every property owner. He. says further that his paving is better than bitulithTc. This fact, of course must be shown, for men differ in opinions and the only teftis a true test. There is no question as to the merit of standard bitulithic, but there always has been more or less of a question regarding the gravel bitulith ic. If Mr. Hunter can show La Grande that Dollarway stand," up by test and lie can lay his pavement formless money than bitulithic is being laid, begin saving his hair soon because the bald spot on the apex of his dome of thought is expanding like a pancake that is being poured on a "hot griddle. The colonel still has time to save up about $500,000 worth of hair at Wash ington rates and Dr. Muhyon, Buffalo Bill and Elbert ' . Hubbard may lay aside, several million dollars' worth at the present writing. The sale of Washington's hair ought also help the hair restorer business some in this country, for the great men will doubtless take cognizance of the Washington hair incident and pre- J pare for the future. J FAIR WARNING--Onty a Short Time Left to Se cure These Unparalelled Bargains When this sale was first announced, hundreds immediately took advantage of the great savings offered, and the same people have come time and again, many making purchases A for a year to come, realizing that such an opportunity is seldom offered to buy new, high grade merchandise at such unheard of reductions. An umpire at St. Louis wants $35,- 000 damages if or a smashed nose. Lots of people would at times, be glad to pay that amount for one crack at an umpire. .
