B R O S ’. Department Store WHEN YOU SEE IT IN OUR AD IT’S SO The mi»»ion o f our adverti»ement» is to tell you our store news. It is an economical method by which we can talk to ALL the people at once. How ever, our advertising will not be effective, will not bring visitors and cus tomers to the store, unless it is believed. Therefore, a» a sensible business proposition, it behooves us to state only the truth about our store and merchandise. In adhering to this principle, we have a right to expect that our printed announcements will be believed—believed implicitly—and we promise you here never to publish an untruth, no matter how great the temptation may be for us to meet the advertisements o f other stores.

However, no definite time for beginning work on theRedmond- Odell road ha« been determined. In the meantime, the company will endeavor to complete as ear ly as jwesible all of the projects al ready undertaken. All of the present contracts on the Kla- math-Natron cutoff, said Mr. Kruttschitt, will be completed before the end o f the present fiscal year—June 30—after which he will recommend that the re mainder of the route, which he viewed be contracted for and the work finished with all possible speed, so that the new 22-hour schedule between Portland and San Francisco can be put into effect on the earliest possible day. "The directors of the company have authorized the road from Redmond to O dell." said Mr. Kruttschnitt, "but it is impossi ble to determine the time when work will commence. The road will ultimately be built: that is certain. It will open a rich coun try that at present has no rail road facilities." With reference to the proposed East and West lines from On tario, near the Idaho state line, to a connection with the Klam- ath-Natron line, Mr. Kruttsch nitt declared that the possibilities for early construction were some what remote. He expressed the opinion that such a road event ually will E>e built, however. In the work through the Des chutes canyon, he said, joint trackage agreements had been entered into with the Oregon Trunk Railway over some of the most difficult portions. The Harriman line has progressed ahead o f that o f the Hill system in some places, and the former line likely will be completed over the 137-mile stretch from the Columbia river to Redmond be fore the latter is finished to Bend. Vote on Charter in February The citizens o f Redmond will be called upon to vote on the question o f adopting a greater charter for the city some time in February’. At the last council meeting Councilman Jones stated that the city attorney was pre paring data and getting the charter matter in form so as to make an intelligent report on same early in January, and that some time in February the ques tion would be ready to submit to the citizens at a special election.
