For you only, on an' article you know the

deception. How many articles of the thousands in a Drug Store do you know the
value of, outside patent medicines and advertised goods. So you are offered an article
you have always paid 50c for, for 35c, special price to you only. Then when you
take your prescription to this cheap store, they add 25c to the honest price andjyou
are out 10c on the two transactions and none the wiser. Such methods are unfair
and dishonest and are never tolerated here. We sell many medicines at cut rates;
we often make special prices, but they are for everybody. Yon may be sure your'

George Quion.
On Sunday, in the beantifnl little
cemetery at Caneniah, friends aud
relatives laid to rest all that wag
mortal of our, citizen, . George O.
tyuinn. He was bnned with the
servioe of the Catliolio Church, the
oharcu of his baptism, and the one of
which he became a devout member
before he died.
By his death there is to be uotod
the passing of the members nt pioneer
families oi the little town aud of this
section, one of the earliest settled of
the Northwest. It is recalled that
members of the faimlies ot Colburn,
Fields, Fellows, Bell, Hedges,
Oareuthers, Gauoug, Fouta, Biugman,
Strickler, Epperly, Miller, Marshall,
Blauehard, Cassedy, Stevens and
others ot the old families that com
posed the population of Canemah in
the pionner days, have long siuce
passed the bourue over which none
ever returns. This, thougn, is the
first death of oue of the family, who
had grown to an age when bis absence
will create a void that time will not
efface, and that will leave the chair
forever vacaut at the fireside.
George was born more than thirty
three years ago in the hoose that dur
ing his entire life has been his home.
I11 disposition he was retiring, kind,
modest aud generous, and will always
be remembered by those who have
been his playmates and Ins friends of
inaturer years, as both peaceful aud a
peacemaker. And 'so modest was lie
thut he woulu umer take to himself
credit that was due tor his tood and
noble deeds
He was a member of Willamette
falls Camp, No. 148, Woodmen of the
World, from whose uieinbeis the pall
bearers were chosen.
The number of lriends who accom
panied the remains to their final
earthly home was a silent expression
of the esteem in which George was
held in lite, aud demonstrated how
greatly his death is deplored by the
whole community.
He suffered intensely during the
ltast few weeks of his life, which suff
ering his friends would have spared
him, had they been able to do so,
because of his genetosity in life, aud
of the aid and comfort he has o often
extended to others. But he endured it
uncomplainingly, feeling it was God's
will aud way. And now his soul is
at the threshold of heaven, tnuuieut
arilv hesitating aud detained lor that
purification whicu alone will lit it ior
eternal rest with God.
Pnnnlo livincr iii Gladstone want

Gladstone, and Gladstone and Portland
are taking active steps to procure it.
Members of the Gladstone Improvement
Association are out with a petition

time, when the company was under dif-
fr.ro.it nnntrnl t uiu it is now, mere
was a commutation rate between Ore
gon City and Ghulstono of 2'i cents,
It is now 4 xf cents.
Tho argument that Gludstonites bring
up is 0110 or uiHcriiiiiuiinuu. j.
claimed that by taking distance into
consideration their town is grossly dis
criminated ngainst. At the present
time, it alleged, a person can travel
from Green Point to Canemah for 3
cents, while 4j cents is asked between
Green Point and Gladstone, which is
about half tho former distance. This is
a thorn in the sido of the citizens liv
ing in Gladstone, which has lately
taken a decided boom, aud it thero is
any possible remedy, it ia going to be
plied.
Just what action the company will
take on receipt of tho petition is a
question, but it is thought by some of
the sanguino dwellers on the north side
of the Clackamas thut some reduction
in the fare will bo made. Many of the
emnloves of the milln and factories in
Oregon City- live in Gladstone, and their
travel on the cars is quite an important
factor in the receipts of the company,
and it is not unlikely that their request
will be met with some consideration.
WILL COMMENCE GKINDING.
Farmers Begin to Deliver Wheat at the
Local Mill.
With the coming of the autumn days
comes the. harvest of the county wheat
crop, and farmers are already bringing
in wheat and making deliveries to me
mill of the Portland flouring mill of
this citv. Wheat is not only being de-
vered bv. wagon, but also by steamer
anil rail.
The local mill has not run steadily
for the last few years, but was started
up Saturday for the fall run, and al
though the mill is not running at its
fullest capacity, it will probably run
for some time.
From reports received from the coun
try, the average yield of wheat in Clack-
unas County will be between 27 and Jt)
bushelB per acre. The grade of wheat
is good this year, and the farmers are
getting a better price for their product
here than the valley farmers, for tho
reason that it is closer to market. In
this section the farmers have got better
wheat, and there is a better price for
it than at any time for the past five
years, and they are all feeling pretty
prosperous over tho matter. The ruling
price for wheat delivered at the mill is
t4 cents. Many of the farmers are
holding for a better price, but there is
not much indication that it will ad
vance, as the valley wheat has to come
in competition with the Eastern Oregon
wheat, which is of better quality, and
always in greater demand.
Loss Will Be Felt by the Entire
munity.
In the. death of Mr. Michael Walsh
of Milwaukie, a highly respected and
prosperous farmer, the community suf-
fers a loss which will be keenly felt by
all. Mr. Walsh, bom in Ireland 65
years ago, came to New York when
young man, where lie lived for a num.
her of years. Like many more, though
he had a longing to go West, which he
finally gratified, coming to California
first, and from there to Oregon. Lo
eating on a tract of land then heavily
timbered, he gradually made it into one
of the most beautiful farms now Bur
rounding Milwaukie. Here he passed
peacefully away, attended by his wife
and children, who have been constantly
hy Ins side during his late illness.
Mr. Walsh received injurios some 25
years ago while in the employ of tho
Southern PaVifie, from which he never
fully recovered, and which was account
able in hastoning the end of a well
spent life.
Ho is survived by his Wife and tho
following children: Sister Mary Ignatia,
or St. Mary's Academy, Portland
Frank Walsh, of Seattle; Richard
Walsh, of Portland, and Rose, John
Michael and uwen Walsh, who are
home at present.
Accused of Stealing a Horse.
in Justice Stipp's courtroom Tuesday
morning, Earl Chapman, of Clacka
mas,, wus arraigned for stealing a horse,
the accuser being J. II. Warde. The
examination excited considerable inter
est, and was witnessed by a crowd of
the usual curious individuals, with coats
off, who aro to bo found always around
courtroom.
Examination was waived for the de
fendant by his attorneys, Geoige 0.
Rrownell and G. C. Hayes. Chris
Schuobel conducted the examination.
The bond for tho young man was fixod
at $oOO, and was quickly furnished.

Sees the Ocean After Thirty Years.
While it is not li very remarkable
thing to hear of a man who has not
seen tho ocean or boon on an outincr to
the beach for 31) vears. vet when it
loes come around that such a person
exists, it is cause for remark. George
Armstrong and wifo left yesterday for
snip ?SJj oqi aq n. pun 'lpmoq oi
n .ill years that Mr. Armstrong lias seen
the billowy ocean and tramped along the
mdy beach. Vacations have been
spent in tho mountains and at other
laces, but the beach has been noglect-
ed until this season, when Mr. Arm
strong, who is a prominent -citizen of
Re.dland, made up his mind to go to
the seashore. With hearts as light as
school children, he and his wife left
yesterday for their outing.
EIVEE VERY LOW.
Steamers Are Loaded Twice at Paper
Mill Dock.
Low water in the Willamette is great
ly interfering with the commerce of the
river, both on the upper and lower
rivers. Kspeciully so in the locks, where
the water is so low that steamers load
ing at the dock of the Willamette Pulp
& Paper Company can only take, about
a third of a load. The full loud is ob
tained by loading a barge and floating
it out through the locks, and then re
loading oh the steamer in the river.
This is a very inconvenient method and
the mill men would welcome a slight
rain up the. valley, as it would ma
terially raise the river and enable the
boats to clear with the usual 175 tons of
paper, instead of only taking about 80
tons.
watched carefully by tho pooplo. It is
close to Broithaupt's place, and tho
sparks which fly from the burning trees
and logs aro a menace to the surround

to
. Crown Making Dock Repairs.
The Crown Paper Company is making
improvements to the dock that is on
the west side of its plant, on the other
side of the river. Tho old dock has
been for a long timp a source of un
noyance. to tho managers of tho com
pany, and at the low stago of tho river
they are taking advantago of the op
portunity and placing new timbers ami
flooring. The repairing will be in
progress for some timo, and will cost
the company a neat sum, but when fin
ished will grently add to the appear
ance of the mill, besides facilitating
the loading of boats.
