OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, JULY 31. 1908
The people of Clackamas Cotmty who have in mind dependahle merchandise are more and more awakening to the fact that to inspect the big
department store, where really sensible offerings are to be fotmd continually, is the best plan that can possibly be adopted There is no making tip
of goods to be summarily slashed off again in an attempt to fool the paplic, btit extensive buying of classy goods and choice selection of fine gar
ments, trimmings, laces and notions of many varieties that enables the stable merchant to continue to offer each day bargains that are bound to
attract the attention of the most careful buyers. There are remainders of our spring stock and we are making many sacrifices eachweek in order
that not a single piece of such merchandise will be carried over the season. Those who appreciate unusual values improve these opportunities and
make most profitable investments of time and most economical exchange of cash for seasonable goods.
Every section of the store presents a wonderful list of real bargains in dependable dry goods. These are unsurpassed opportunities and temptingly small
prices are the rule in every department. The inducements which we offer are beyond all competition and will certainly prove irresistible to any man, woman or
child who are interested in positive money saving.

Gumption on the Farm.
Not more land, but better land ; not
more work, but better planned; not
more fields tilled, but fewer fluids
tilled better these are the things
every good farmer is aiming at
Sow wild oats and you will reap
with a thrashing maohine.
Keep all the nuts and bolts aiing in
place. Your machine will last longor
and do better work.
Oil the bearings often. The horses
would thank you for it if they could.
Makes the machine wear longer, too.
Sow only the plumpest, nicest
wheat this fall. Run it through the
fanning mill and tak i out all the foul
stuff. Good seed is halt the crop.
2 Drain or put kerosene on mud holes
and swamps, and screen oistems,
water barrels, etc, and there will be
no stagnant places tor mosquitoes to
breed.
When you go ont to cut brush, take
a scythe that is stiff enough to stand
a good hard blow. And whlie yon are
about it take a good Btitf backbone
along with you. You will need it be
fore night.
It is poor economy to nse ' wood to
fire the engine on thrashing day.
Coal is much more satisfactory for
keeping np steam, and is free from
sparks that are liable to start fire in
straw and grain stacks.
The twentieth century is Etr6nnons,
oomplex and democratic One-third
of the young men of this age are not
wanted because of their habits; but
trained, loyal, cheerful, sober-minded
young men are in demand.
The cheap artists continue to pic
ture the farmer as bewhiskered and
wearing long boots. That type is as
rare now as long-haired poets aud
picture makers. The twentieth cen
tury farmer is a man of business aud
looks like a man of business.
Do you know that yon can write
your name on the metal of your fnrm
tools' You can. Just take a little
tallow or beeswax, melt it and spread
it over the place on which yon want
your name ; write your name down
through the wax with a big needle or
awl and pour a few drops of nitrio
acid ovor the letters you have made.
Leave a few minutes. Then wipe off
the wax and your name will . be on
the iron.
"Well, John, you didn't get around
to fix up the flower beds that you
promised your wife. Had no time?
Now dont' get huffy if I tell you that
you wasted enough time last week
ttlking politics down at the corner,
andjjrying to swap horses, to have
done ten times over what Bhe asked
you to do. How she would have en
joyed 'puttering' over her flowers in
the twilihgt hours of the hot days,
and the sight of a bed of snowy asters
or golden-hearted pansies from her
kitchen window would have helped
her over many a morning's work in a

Nehalem, Oregon,
July 22, 1008.
Editor Courier:
A letter from the Nehalem
coast may be of interest to your read
ers. I left Portland, July 14 aud ar
rived in Astoria the following day,
coming down on the boat and spend
ing two days there.
Astoria is a very nice little town of
about 25,000 inhabitants, and I en
joyed the sights. They have a fine
reservoir, a continual stream of water
50 feet high in the center and also a
tine fountain for man and beast, and
on a little farther there is a little
platform and seats for the footsore
aud weary to reBt. The scenery is
beautiful, the Lewis and Clark river
to the right aud the Young river on
the left, and farming laud and pas
ture everwhere.
We walked about six miles up and
down hills and it didn't seem to tire
me very much, as the air is so brac
ing. We left Ast iria on the Steamer Sue
H. Elmore for Hobsonville, being
eight hours on the ocean and enjoying
it very much until 1 experienced the
usual seasickness, which continued
until we arrived at Hobsonville. We
just missed the stage there, so hired a
livery to take us to Nehalem, where
my son, Cleve Allen, met ns, arriving
at Walter Cain's at 8:30 p. in. They
live three miles from town on a beau
tiful farm of 800 acres, the Neahkauie
ranch, owned by Mr. Roed, president
of the German-American Bank. My
son Pleasant and son-in-law Walter
Cain are managing the place as a
dairy ranch. Their crops are mostly
hay. The scenery is fine and fish and
game are plentiful. The Nehkauia
mountain is in their pasture. It is
1800 feet high and we are thinking of
climbing it soon. People dn not think
anything of running up and down the
moautains here.
I have been down to the beach sev
eral times but do not find many
shells, though we get crabs, musKtds
and clam along some parts of the
beach, also kelp sometimes among the
rocks washed in by the tide and
caught in the rocks, ud then we rake
them out. The salmon season opens
here the first of August and I am in
formed one can buy a 20 or 30 pound
salmon for 15 oents. I anticipate re
maining bore about ten days and will
then retnrn to Portland.

The persistence with which the
Portland Business College insistently
hammers away at quality is most ad
mirable. If there is any one feature
on which speoial stress should be
placed in educational matters it is
thorough work. This splendid school
lias an advertisement in onr columns,
to whhh attention is called. It is
not often that the Courier prints an
announcement so attractive and so
well worded. Anyone interested in a
practical education should write for a
