Last week while in Coos county
W. J. Collins and W, L. Thorn-

several rhododendrons from the
woods there to St. Johns. These
are now set out 111 tue yarn ot uiu
latter-named, and one of them is to
be placed iu the grounds of the city
hall when graded.
Contractor Crook: "Although
the contract calls for the comple
tion of the interior of the city hall
within ninety days, or about the
first of August, I am going to try
to turn it over to the c ty by July
The sooner I get it done the
greater the profit, and I shall try
and get through as quick as I can.
Several changes have been made in
the plans, but they will not retard
the work."
Although workmen are still en
gaged in clearing up the large tract
of gravel above the government
moorings on the opposite bank of
the Willamette the general public
lias uot been informed as to what
is to be built on the ground. A
rumor has been current that a
large gas plant will be erected,' but
this is discredited A person who
is familiar with the details of the
gas business says it is uot likely
that a gas plant would be built so
far from the source of consumption,
and cites the fact that it would cost
$5 or more a foot to extend the
large supply main to Portland. To
lay this main would require about
five miles of pipe. A more desir
able and less expensive site would
likely be selected if the manufacture
of gas was intended.

CLOSING OUT ABSOLUTELY
Not
An Advertising Scheme,
Actually Selling Out.
But
The magnificent stock of the
Wagoner ComjKUty is now being
rapidly decreased iu size, and while
the owners are not making any
money out of the sale the patrons
of the store arc surely saving a
large amount. There is not a
householder iu this vicinity who
can afford to miss these great daily
sales because a purchase means
the shutting out of all profit to the
handler. It means buying at retail
at wholesale prices. It means, too,
that no Portland store can touch
the bargains shown by the Wago
ner Company.
Many people are caught by nam
ing ads iu the city dailies, and find
out, too late, that high prices rule
on decent goods, but here is an op
portunity to secure genuine bar
gains iu groceries, dry goods, fur
niture, tinware, notions in short,
every article handled by their ener
getic store is to be disposed of at
cost and sometimes at even less
than cost.
Every day lessens this big stock
the hustling kitten gets the cream:
delay not a day, but go to the store
and sec that your money is saved.
The careful householder realizes a
bargain when seen, and the big
store is full of them. After their
stock is closed out buyers will have
to purchase at profit-makiug stores.
