A WORD OF MEN'S SHOES., Shoe bargains, but neve bargain shoes. Do you catch the idea? If great buving if having large lots of shoes made if the im petus of this great shoe business helps to make prices abnormally small then we have shoe bargains. These causes and readjust ments of our stocks, as sizes become missing, bring all the shoe bargains we ever have. " Bargains Shoes " don't exist otherwise.

CASTORIA For Infanti and Children. tin fw- tiBll bn tlfui WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN. I'iii.ti As'n, OiiwioS, May 3. Weather. Mild temperatures, with rain Friday night, is, in brief, tho work during the past week. Frosts were re ported on Tuesday, Wednesday mid Sun day mornings. The temperature averaged 53 degrees for the week, the same as intho preceding week. The warmest portion of tho day averaged 03 degrees, and the coldest portion of the night 43 degrees; the extremes for the day b' ing from 5S degrees to 71 degrees, and for the night from 34 degrees to 48 degrees. ' The rainfall 'Friday night amounted to from .10 to .25 of an inch. There was an excess of sunshine, Tho winds were generally northerly and light to fresh in force. Crops. The weather conditions have been most favorable to crop growth and to farm-work. Tho frosts have been light. There are a few localities where they are reported as being heavy enough to nip potato vines and strawberries, but these localities are the exception, and not the rule. The fruit-growers are anxious for a heavy frost to thin out the fruit, for the trees are now too full. Injurious frosts after May 1st seldom oxur. Apple trees are coming into full bloom. Cherry, prune, plum, peach, almond, and apricot trees have dropped their bloom and tho fruit isset. Unless a good frost occurs, a hlrgo amount of thinning out by hand will be required j it is seldom, even in prolific Oregon, that the fruit trees are as heavily laden as they are this year. AVith few ex ceptions, the correspondents report, "Fruit prospects never so good as at present." Equally as good reports are made concerning the grain crop. The dry, notherly winds have dried out the ground, and more rain would be beneficial. Fall and winter vn wheat and oa b have excellent color and fine fine growth. Early-sown spring grain is growing finely. Late plowing and seeding continue; except on the lower lands, seeding will be finished this week. Tho rain of last Friday night was very beneficial. . Grass has most excellent growth and stock is rapidly fattening Until the grass had a good start, feed was scarce, owing to so many burning their straw last autumn or stacking it carelessly. ... Hopa..nre. waking very fair growth j training of vines has already commenced. Sheep shearing is in progress, and' ex cellent wool is obtained. Gardens are making good growth. Wild strawberries are showing color; the season is still somewhat late, but it is rapidly equalling former seasons. Unless unusual and phenomenal weather conditions prevail, the year's crops will be the largest in t he history of tho state. Corn planting is in progress; many sections report more corn sown than usual. Asparajius, onions, lettuce, radishes, and other spriiijj vegetables are plentiful in local markets. The weather conditions this morning are favorable for a continuation of fair weather with moderate temperatures, becoming warmer toward the close of the week. B. S. P.di-K, Director, Portland. ABOUT GREECE. It has a population of 2,187,208. It is called "Hellas" by its people. The mean temperature of Greece is 04 degrees Fahrenheit. No part of Greece is forty miles from the sea or ten miles from tho hills. About one-halt' of the population are agriculturists and shepherds. It has an area of 4,077 square miles. It is the only country in the world whose armies are provided with the Gras guns and imper-covered catri Iges. Tho (ireek flag is a white cross on a bine ground the Bavarian colors and (treek cross. Greece is more thickly populated than any other country in Europe, with the exception of Sweden and Prussia. It has few rivers and many bills. None of I ho former is navigable, and many of the latter are fortified. Its present boundary limits were de termined by an arrangement among (ireat Britain. France, Russia, and Turkev, concluded at Oonstantinoplc'on July 21, 1832. Only about 70,000 of the inhabitants teak any language other than Greek, and only alxmt 20,000 profess any re ligion other than the orthodox. The chief characteristics of the aver age Greek are his inquisitiveness, fond ness for excitement, love of discussion, desire for knowledge, an ttptbude for learning, and aggressive patriotism. The climate has two striking peculi arities the heat in summer and the cold in winter are far more intense than those of any other country in the world lying in the same latitude. Gell once remarked that in traveling through the Morea in March he found "summer in Messenia, spring in Lacona, and winter in Arca'iia, without having moved le yond a radius of fifty miles."

Grandpa Rutherford had u very serious accident tho otlier day while hauling logs. In someway a heavy log rolled on him and broke his left' leg above tho knee and held him to the ground till other parties helped him. Dr. Blanc-y from Clarkes set the limb nnd is treat ing him for this and other injuries received. The decision at our lust important debate, ''Income Tan," was tendered in favor of tho negative. AVe do not know whether' that decision means that the allirmativu produced no argument and the negative all, or whether the High land people are like our moneyed Mristocracy of New York, etc. We are inclined to believe that this decision was similar to our supreme court decision.' For nearly ten years during and after the war an income tax of b on incomes between $000 anil $5000 and 10 on all incomes above $5000, which brought a revenue of over $72,00",000 a year, was constitutional. But a small tax of 2 on individual incomes of over $4000, corporations not exempt, was declared unconstitutional. What wise people we have at present in the U. 8., Highland included. May 4th. Cor.
