Visitor Tuesday, j

Tho Pacific Telephone & Telegraph
Company yesterday established a now
service botwtvn Oregon ctty and Port
land, localizing the system to tho ex
tent that subscribers may obtain the
desired number In either town by
simply notifying the central operator
and holding the receiver until connec
tion is made with the party wanted.
The former custom has been to call
central and ask for lens distance and
then hang up the r-voivor until the
long distance operator communicates
with the neighboring city. This some
times requires a considerable period
but hereafter when a man In Oregon
City .wants a number In Portland he
asks for It in exactly the same manner
as though he wanted a connection In
his own town. The rate Is 10 cents
for the first two minutes and five
cents for each additional minute. The
former rate was Irt cents for the first.
and five conts for each addition;
minute.
The Pacific Telephone & Telegraph
Company has constructed five loops
to Portland so that every operator on
the local sw itchboard will have a line
to the metropolis. These loops run
ditvccly into tho local board at Port
land. The new line that has just been
completed from Portland through
Oregon City to Salem Is one of the
heaviest on the Pacific Coast, and fol
lows a nevr route running along the
river and through Gladstone. The old
line through Clackamas Station is left
intact, hut may be removed If the
powder company at Clackamas discon
tinues operations there, as reported.

On and after September let I will give 5 per cent on the dollar cash dis
count on all goods excepting produce, feed, sugar and a few other Items. And
as fast as possible I will make a flat cash price, that will equal 5 per cent
off of regular prices where the credit system is still in use and on some
articles more than 5 per cent off. I wish to say that I am in no way connected
with any agreement fifade by the Oregon City Merchants in "Curtail lng Credit" and
my name was used without authority from me. On the pledge or agreement I be
lieve the only way is the CASH PLAN then it treatB all customers alike and you
get value for your money. I am completing arrangements whereby I can handle all
kinds of Country Produce at a flat cash price and pay as near Portland prices as
will let me ship same and come out even. My cash plan will give me time to cater
to the trade and study their needs, and to pick up bargains when opportunity of
fers. While under Credit System we could LOOK AT Bargains and WISH we had the
money to buy them, and give the customer a bargain and make a profit too.
A Cash Store can be UP TO DATE while the Credit Store don't order until
the last minute and has to take what is left after the Cash man has had his pick
and his goods ir and on display. THE CASH PLAN FOR ME. Come in and see how it
works.
