THE PAVING QUESTION.
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.
