A Good School. Attention is called
to an advertisement, in another column,
x the Holmes English and Business
College, of Portland, Oregon. This
institution has probably educated more
young men and women for business,
and found them employment, than all
the schools of that kind in the North
west. Miss Holmes, in addition to be
ing assisted by an able corps of six
teachers, gives her entire time to the
up building of the school and everything
that can add to the students advance
ment and comfort is provided. The
school maintains six departments,
namely : Three years course in Enlish
branches, a course in book-keeping,
lnmanship, shorthand, tjpewntmg
and telegraphy. The Holmes college
is a Christian insti ution and has at
I.eart not only the mental but the moral
and the physical welfare of the students
intrusted to it care. The principal has
Kiven much thought to the home life oi
Btudents and is able to provide safe and
comfortable rooms utalow cost. The
past years of business depression has
impressed upon the minds of all the
necessity for practical education and
never in the history of the country has
the work of the thorough busines col
lege been so much appreciated as to-day.

WHY IS IT.
That every day our store is filled with buyers
from every part of the city, regardless of distance?
There must be some reason.' People especially
ladies don't go out of their way to buy unless
there is a reason.
IT IS BECAUSE we have established a reputation for abso
lutely fresh goods especially in the line of table
delicacies, and our customers are sure of a
superior article and then the prices are right.
