it personally to each reader of this paper. Our wish is that you may see all the goods while they
are here to be seen. Many of the particularly attractive items of this season's stock will not be here
long.
Christmas selections have for the past few years been much earlier than was formerly tli6 custom.

as Saturday, December Gth, you can, if desired, pick, from the

no increase in price. Our stock of the
good old ebony, ebonoid, and celluloid,
though, was never so good, and the
prices were never lower; 75c to $1000.
Umbrellas.
Next to a pipe or military brushes,
that man would probably chose an um
brella. They come in mighty handy on
a rainy day; $1 to $10, and all guaranteed.
Military Brushes.
The most popula rsent you 1
find for that man . Stag sets from $4 00
to $6.50; ebony back, sterling mounted,

combs and two brushes, $1.25. These
increase in price to $12, and are fitted
with razors, scissors, manicure knives,
file, soap box, nail, hair, and tooth
brulu s, and minors.
Mirrors.
Some people think mirrors were only
made for the women, but you'll see
many a man "rubbering" before one.
Our new lot of triplicate mirrors would
almost make any man shave himself.
Its a good way to cure a man of staying
out half the night and then laying it on
the barber.
Cigars.
Most every man who smokes is mighty
glad to get a box of cigars for his
Xmas gift - that is if they ate any good,
and we've been in the cigar business so
long that we know the kinds that are
good. 50c to $11 per box.
Chistmas
Specials.
Pipts.
There, we forgot the pipes, when we
said military brushes would be the rr.ost
acceptab e present for that man . If he
smokes, better get him a pipe. We
have them from 25c up to the best mer
schaum in cases at $10.
. - ' r
Razors.
Might not be just the thing to give a
"steady," but for a husband or brother
you could not do better. Our safety
razors cant cut anything but whiskers.

at $4 and $6.

man for dear life. James Marrs and
son, Ray, of Springwater were out in
the hills at their cabin looking after their
timber claim. The boy heard what he
took to be a pack of dogs running a
deer. He weDt a little further up in
the hills to see the cbase and be ran
right into a big pack of grey wolves
chasing a deer. When the wolves saw
him they abandoned the deer and turned
their attention to the boy and chased
h m for dear life buck to bis cabin. It
is seldom that wolves are seen at this
season bo far dswn in the valley and it
no doubt pressages an extremely hard
winter.

It will be news to some of the quiet
denizens of Oregon City to learn that
within twenty miles of to wn in this
county big grey wolves have been bold
enough to run ia broad daylight and
that they have actually chased a young

On Wednesday, November 26, C. E

Cowu in Portland; The young couple

dents of this city, where they have
many friends who extend their congratulations
Hazel Kirke.
In the presentation of Hazel Kirke"
a pathetic heart story of English do
mestic life, the Margarita Fischer scored
a distinct triumph lait evening. Miss
Fischer was nt her best in tLeeinotion.il
title roll, ami the supporting roles were
distributed with rare discretion as to UK
individual capabilities. Thepjoducti m
was by far tlie best we have seen ia popu
lar price repirtoire this season. Mr,
Albright's characterization of Dun-tan
Kirke was an artistic and scholarly
piece of work. The same praise aip!.en
to Mr. Osbu n's portraiture of S.'iir
Rodney. Ir. Hildreth who mayed
the part of Darringford, has a splendid
stage presence. His delineation was
dignified, forceful and thoroughly ac
ceptable. Mr. McOowell and Miss Dot
Fischer in the respective roles of Peta
cus Green and Dolly Dutton gave a good
account of themselves. The mi por roles
were in capable hands.
A special feature of the week's en
gagemeiit will be a scenic production
tonight of "The Pearl of Savoy." ThiB
piece which has been produced through
eat tliu United States and England with
phenomenal success, has not appeared
on this coast for years as the owners ie-
fuied to sell tlie acting rights until re
