they, or the local dealer, could the

success of the mail-order houses of
the country has been built upon the
fundamental principle of selling cheap
goods at cheap prices.
A case in mind that recently came

quite clearly established this fact: Notice is hereby given that on the Houghtalling & Dougan, Henry Build

care in workmanship, until the manu-

fthe house might put out such cheap I

but their name and brand should never

This is a fair sample of the factory

OREGON MAN SAYS THAT STOMACH .
REMEDY SAVES HIM FROM DEATH
After Treatments Failed He Found
Proof in First Deec of
Mayr Remedy.
W. H. Gerrish of Albnay, Ore., long
suffered from general ill health as
the result of stomach derangements
and digestive troubles. He tried
many remedies and treatments with
but little result.
"I commenced taking your medi-
c'me last May, and since then have
passed tnousanas or accretions. .i
it had not been for your medicine I
feel sure that I would have been dead
by now. I fnol'like a new man; my
stomach trouble and my liver and
nervous troubles are all considerably

Thousands of such letters prove the

DRAMA BY HIGH SCHOOL.
A Play Full of Merit by a Cast of
Superior Talent.
"All of a sudden Peggy" a play
that had a six months run on the
boards of the Broadway theater in
New York, is to be put on by the
pupils of the high school. . It is- one
of those plays that make life bright,
one that takes the rough edges off a
weary existence and makes one feel
that he or she has not the only burden
in life.
, The play is replete with good lines,
and the. high school is this year sing
ularly blessed with an abundance of
superior talent. It lias been said by
all traveling showmen that for its
size La Grande has a larger aggro
gation of dramatic talent than any
other city on the road, and this is
particularly true of the high school
this year. The progress that has
been made, both in singing and act

reasons persons are assured of seeing
