JUST six days remain for the selection of the gift. With the passing of each day the Christmas rush will grow-the last two days
of the Holiday shopping period is always distressing. And each day the gift collections-now. complete in our store will be picked
over and robbed of perhaps just the thing you most desired. Let us again urge you Buy Your Presents Early. We will
gladly set them aside for you until Xmas. We have expected the crowds and our displays in every section were never so complete nor
beautiful as now. Below are listed some appropriate gifts for Men, Women and Children:

GRANGES AND
LABOR JOIN
UNITE IN FIGHT TO SAVE THE
INITIATIVE AND REFER
ENDUM. DEFEND PEOPLE'S LAW
Opinion of Patron and Union Labor
Men Is Unanimous That
State Road Bill
Should Fall.
A meeting of tho Joint committee
of tho Oregon State Grange, and the
Oregon Htate Federation of Iabor was
h"ld In Portland on September 27th.
Thus. Paulsen of Portland, Eugene
Palmer of Albany and, C. K. Snenee of
Cams appeared for the Grange, and
C. II. Gram, J. F. Cassldy of Portland
and H. H. Hill of Salem, for tho State
Federation of Labor. C. H. Gram
was elected chairman and C. E.
Spence secretary.
The following resolution was adopt
ed: "Whereas, Tho Initiative and refer
endum has been attacked by the cor
porate Interest and their political
allies, the machine politicians, direct
ly by suit brought throiigh the Pa
cific States Telephone and Telegraph
Company to destroy the same; and
"Whereas, Tho said suit Is now
pending In the courts and should be
defended by all friend of direct leg
Islatliin, to the full extent of their
moral and. financial ability; therefore,
be It
"Resolved, That we, a Joint com
mittee of the Oregon State Grange
and Oregon Federation of Labor, re
affirm our determination to defend the
principle of direct legislation under
any and all circumstances; and be it
further
"Hesolved, that we call upon all
who favor direct legislation by the
people to secure all data In the pres
ent suit to destroy the initiative and
referendum; to discuss and promul
gate Hie same lei the fullest extent,
and to render both moral and financial
support thereto."
Signed. C. II. Gram, chairman; C.
E. Spence. secretary; Eugene Pal
mer, J. F. Cassldy, Harry II. Hill,
Thos. Paulsen.
A resolution favoring Postal Sav
ings Hanks was also passed. The pro
posed road law, known as the John
son bill, was also discussed. The
Free Of Charge
CONGRESSMAN HAWLEY, who tay
the fight over Chamberlain elec
tion by the legislature i not hi
affair, and decline to go on record
at the request of Maple Lane
Grange.
opinion that this law should not be
enacted was unanimous.
The road that would most likely he
built tinder this law would bo one
through Oregon to the California line.
The cott of the same would be paid
as follows: One-third by the state,
one-third by the county and one-third
hy the property owners within two
miles on efch side of the road.
This proposed road would parallel
the railroad and would not do the
good that roads would do run back
Into the country districts from the
railroads. Again, the method of the
proposed tax Is unjust, as property
owners within the two-mile radius
would not only pay one-third of the
cost by a bond Issue but would also
have to pay their part of the state
and county tax.
Union labor will stand with the
grangers on this proposition. The
measure Is receiving special consider
ation and will come up at the next
meeting of the committee.
A state hanking law was also dis
cussed. A national guarantee was
not favored, a state guarantee law
met with more favor. The committee,
however, deferred action In order to
consider the New Zealand state own
ership law at its next meeting.
Altogether, the fact developed that
on many questions a Joint considera
tion and Joint action of the Grange
and organized labor can only result
in the benefit of both organizations.
The time ha3 certainly arrived when
it has become necessary for all pro
ducers of wealth to act In unison.

EXPANSION
IS POLICY
MILWAUKEE 8CH00L DISTRICT
BROADENS TO HELP OUT
LYING SECTIONS.
BUILDING AT WICHITA
Boundaries Will Not Be Contracted,
But District Will Be Extended
to Satisfy Rapidly Grow
ing Population,
The Mllwaukie school district la
embarked upon a policy f expansion,
and last Saturday night, hy a clone
vote decided to construct a new school
building at Wichita In the East end
of the district. The building will
probably have four rooms, to provide
space adequate for the growing ter
ritory. It Is extremely probably that
the district boundary board will add
to the Milwaukee district by attaching
a portion of the Harmony district, the
northwest corner being near Wichita.
It is ttie purpose of the residents of
that section to build up the district,
rather than to tear It down, and there
is a movement on foot to construct
a building In the south end of Mil
waukee district to provide better ac
commodations, as there are people
who are clamoring to get Into the Oak
Grove district, but will be satisfied
with a building which would enable
them to stay In Milwaukee district
This would give them high school fa
cilities. The construction of the new
building at Wichita will proceed with
out delay.
The Sunnyside district will hold a
special meeting December 21 to vote
upon the question of establishing an
other room, as this district also Is
growing rapidly.
Miss Eva Hunter, of the Mountain
Road school, and Miss Stella Hunter,
of the Willamette school, have been
called East by the serious Illness of
their sister. Miss Sauer, a Clackamas
County teacher, has also been called
East by the death of ber father. They
may not return.
Special Tax For Willamette.
The new town of Willamette last
Saturday night at a meeting of the
council, authorized the levy of an 8
mill tax for general purposes and for
the payment of Interest on the bond
issue, to be made to raise money to
take over the water system owned
by the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company.
