THE SUCCESSFUL FARMER selects the proper time to cultivate the soil, the proper time to saw and the proper time to harvest the product of his toil. 1 be is exceptionally pros
porous he is equally careful to select the time for the purchase of the articles necessary for the comfort of his home as well as the many household necessities. Neither is he lax
n searching out the proper places for economical buying. '
' '
The best place in Oregon City for careful buyers is getting to be pretty generally known. The big trade the housefurnishing store opposite the Court House enjoys is remarkable
from the fact that so much of it is made up of what one would call judjejoua i. btty,c.r.8nt!nJanlw.O'en wbo look at an article from the standpoint of quality and price at the same time,
This store has established a reputation for selling honest goods at honest prices. To the man who tells us he can buy a range for $2 7.50 we have to say that we cannot sell a good
one for the money and that we must decline to sell a poonejyejhqld I to the principle that both the purchaser and the merchant will lose in the jend in handling inferior merchan
dise. At the same time we will sell a high grade range one that we can tell you to bring back if it doesn't stand the test of years of use-at one-fifth less than the customary price.
This by way of illustrating our method of doing business. , .
As to the time to buy; now is an ideal time. During February we went through our stock and marked prices down to the lowest notch. Those prices will remain until the goods are
sold. !fjyc haye P!gcej cost price on a piece of furniture that has been too long with us, and we have done it in many instances, of course a like article, bought for the Spring trade,
will have to sell for more. The prices and quality of goods will keep you with us when you have once become acquainted.

latch string out to any and all of his
friends and is always glad to greet
them. He bus much of the material

ought to be looking around for that
"merry widow" to take charge of the
home when finished.
Might at home too, is our friend
Sheridan Llllle, who has done and is
still doing as much hard work as any
man In thia county, if work spells
success, he'll certainly climb to tho
top, for he's at It early and lute, fend
oftentimes a good part of the night.
He's getting material on tho ground
f6r a big barn and I suppose the
house will follow aoon, and In a short
tlmo we hope to chronicle the coming
of the "merry widow," or some one
with whom to share his troubles.
It may not be generally known that
this Is a "bachelor's corner." There
are moro bachelors to the square mile
hero than In any other part of the
county. Old maids and "merry wid
ows" should take notice.
T. R. Hrown Is still building up and
Improving his flno farm. When they
put In tho dam already mentioned,
they will overflow the greater part of
his farm, so, no doubt, he'll get a

With" practically every other detail
complete, with buildings erected and
exhibits being rapidly Installed, the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition three
months before the opening is
left with nothing to worry about ex
cept the participation of various
states In the union. Four state build
ings are already standing on the fair
grounds, while thirteen staces are
certain to exhibit and some of them
have yet to erect their structures.
Some will show their displays in the
main exposition buildings. The late
comers are those -who delayed their
appropriations until the 1909 sessions
of their legislatures. Commissioner
General J. B. Meikle estimated Ou
March 1, that there were then pending
appropriations amounting to over
$300,000 in different states. Most of
this in states that the exposition au
thorities have not been seriously con
fident were going to exhibit, and any
thing done by these states at the
eleventh hour will be doubly pleasing
as it is more or less unexpected.
The Pacific Coast states were first
In the field at the A. Y. P. E. Ore
gon finished her building first, Cali
fornia second and Washington third.
These three buildings are now com
plete, and exhibits are being installed.
New York, whose handsome building
will revert to the University of Wash
lngton after the fair, and will be
used as a residence for the president
of that Institution, has its work well
in hand.
Among the eastern states, Massa
chusetts, Pennsylvania, Connecticut,
New Jersey and others will exhibit
in 'some of the main exhibit palaces.
In the middle west, Wisconsin and
Minnesota have $"0,000 appropriations
pending before their -legislatures. Mis
souri, which a year ago declined to ex
hibit, has reconsidered the matter at
the demand of , Governor Hadley.
who urges his state to spend $10,000
for an exhibit.
In the west, Utah and Idaho will
have buildings of their own and Colo
rado may do likewise. The following
sums have been appropriated for the
A. V. P. E. by western states: Neva
da, $25,000; Utah, $27,0,10; Colorado,
$35,000? Nebraska, $15,000; North
Dakota, $15,000; Montana, $15,000;
Idaho, $30,000. This In addition to j
what the Paclflo Coast states have al
ready done. In Texas, New Mexico
and Arizona, funds are being raised
by public subscription to pay for ex
hibits at the exposition. Thus the
exposition authorities are assured
that practically every state in the
west, and many in the east, will be
represented at the fair.
In every other detail, the A. Y. P.
Exposition today stands .very nearly
complete, and the opening could be
held on May 1 as well as June 1, if
the directors saw fit. Exhibits are
being installed in the main palaces,
and the shows along the Pay Streak.
The four government buildings are
taking on a finished look, and the
managerial brows have lost their
wrinkles withthe assurance that they
have made good the A.Y.P.E. motto,
"The Fair That Will be Ready."
An Ideal Cough Medicine.
"As an Ideal cough -medicine I re
gard Chamberlain's Cough Remedy In
a class by itself," says Dr. R. A.
Wiltshire, of Gwynneville, Ind. "I take
pleasure in testifying to the results
of Chamberlain's Cough Medicine. In
fact, I know of no other preparation
that meets so fully he expectations
of the most exacting in cases of croup
and coughs of children. As it con
tains no opium, chloroform or mor
phine It certainly makes a most safe,
pleasant and efficacious remedy for
the Ills it is intended." For sale by
