The Opportunity of a Life Time
Great Consignment Sale of
FINE
CLOTHING
On account of the pending hard times and the tightness of
the money market several large San Francisco clothing firms
have consigned to us an immense stock of Men's, Boys' and
Children's Clothing, which must be turned into money at once.
In order to accomplish this we have decided to reserve nothing,
but have marked every garment in the lot in plain figures at
prices that will certainly move them. - '
The Sale of these Goods will commence
j SATURDAY, MARCH 4th
And. will continue 15 Days only.

The members of the Wilhmette River

the reason that like Representative
Curtis, they were "jobbed" in the mat
ter of not getting the legislation that
they expected, so they claim. The lo
cal committfe, who were at Salem in
the interest of legislation favorable to
the fishermen bere, claim that the fish
eries committee gave them what they
wanted that is the open season to be
gin April 1st instead of April 115th. They
Diame in tjommissioner McUuire for
the trouble, and are confident (he bill
was tampered with after it left the
hands of the fisheries committee. It is
well known faet among fisherman.
that the first 15 days in April are worth
more for fishing in the Willamette
than the remainder of the
season, for the reason that the back wa
ter from the Columbia makes the water
dead and murky, and the fish do not
run to do any good. President Humph

matter of contesting some of the Dm
visions of the new law will'be discussed
Our fiRhermen have been unjustly

Why don't some enterorising individ'

read at least a dozen times at gradu
ating exercises at the state agricultu
ral college and numerous public schools
umy names and a few words are
changed, for instance. "Minnie ar
rived on the 2:30 train, and will deliver
one of her famous lectures. While in
the rity she will be the guest of her oid
classmate, Jennie." The old one may
