This has mostly come about through the sale here in three or four different kinds of mixed paint in times gone by which were really no good. One can hardly be surprised that a paint buyer will shy after once having been taken in with poor paint. For customers who prefer making their own paint I am in the best position possible this year, to give them the best of the bargain I bought plenty of lead and oil las1 fall when the price was down, and I have a supply now to last all summer. If you want tojise anywhere from a gallon to a barrel I can save you money "over Portland price?. At the price oil is now it is a great temptation to put a little something in to cheapen it.

Return of Volunteers Will Be Mad In Style. Washington, Jvlny 24. -The war do partm' nt is not going to spare any pains in making the tetum voyage of the V,. unteers ilensant ami comfort ible. Thil is not on'y due to the fat that these volunteers have done great service, but the administration is especially anxious to have them well treated and satisfied wuli,wbat the government has done in the way of taking core of thorn on ' their return. So extra efforts will be mndo to leave a good imprest-ion with the return ins solders who are going to mingle wiih the people very largely during the next few months. The clash between ij'eneial Olis and the civil Philippine com mint ioiiers is clearly apparent, and it is evident that the war deiHr nietit has been oveinihd by President McKinley. Alger sides with Otis, believing that there should ho no concession promised as the price of Kilipino submission, while Hay advises for sustaining the p initio course of the commission. MclCinley believes iir Hay and the commission. Ti.e confi dence he has had in Alger seems to have been sluikcn, although army officers generally believe the Filipino question had much better be left to Ltia, until the r ebellion is ended. - I t
