OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1007 BETTER TONE IN POTATOES. Creamery Butter Takes an Advance But Will Not Go Higher. In the past ten days a better tone has developed' In the potato market with firm prices as quoted. This ap plies to sturdy, first-class stock. , Apples are daily arriving in the lo cal markets, Jjut the market Is over crowded with second grade apples. Good stock commands good prices. The markets are being well sup plied with dates, nuts, oranges and other fruits to supply the big demand for the Chirstmas holiday and every day shipments are being received by the local merchants. The cereal 19 COURIER dates are in good demand, and com mand top notch prices, from 30 to 35 cents. The markets are also pretty well supplied with fresh vegetables and among the vegetables, for which there is a good demand, celery and hot house lettuce. Creamery butter has taken a raise during the past few days, Is bringing a price from 70 cents to 75 cents, but it is not probable that it will go much higher than this. Owing to the rains the farmers in the county are unable to do much farm work, and make good use of the time between dry spells. Many of the farmers in the different localities of the county have about finished their late plowing and have sown their grain. In many sections there is plen ty of feed this winter for the stock, and probably loose hay can be seaily spared this spring if the present warm weather continues. Eggs are now more plentiful in the local markets, but the prices remain the same as that of last week, at a wholesale price of 37 cents per doz. It is probable that in a few weeks the prices will be much lower, if they con tinue to come Into the markets as they have within the past few days. At present turkeys have not yet ar rived Into the markets In this city, and the price has not yet been fixed by the dealers, but it is presumed that the prices for same will range from 17 cents to 19 cents per pound, wholesale. Ducks, chickens and geese are also moving slowly In the markets, and by the first of next week the dealers will be well supplied to meet the large demand for the Christ . mas holidays. , .''

Norrls, county physician, has returned from Cottrell, where he went at the request of Judge Dlmick to make an investigation of the small pox cases that were reported. Dr. Norris found two cases in the family of Paul Dunn, and in these cases the patients are convalescent. There are two other new cases, and the Cottrell school has been closed. Practically the whole neighborhood has been ex posed to the disease. taands Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect it. Frevalencr of Kidney XMsease.

There is comfort in the knowledge o often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, arid overcomes that unpleasant ne cessity of being compelled to go often during 'the day, and to get up many times during the night. The.mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

Y. f f CVERY business man makes mistakes. We made a mistake in buying so many Christmas goods. We bought in June when everything looked promising for a big Holiday trade. We bought a third more than ever before and a better grade of goods. We are not going to let our Christmas shoppers suffer by our short-sightedness, so have marked our stock just one-third less than usual, thus sharing our profits with ' our patrons. We have never carried over very many Holiday goods and we are not going to this season if ' cutting prices will help to dispose of them. We wont you to come in and look them over whife they are bright and clean. If We want urge you to buy; we just want you to see what we have.
