HEWETT, BROLEY & CO. When yon talk of the high cost of living did you ever stop to think that today it takes less labor time and less human energy to produce a given re sult or a given article than at any other period of human history? This Is the real test of the "cost" of an article. Take the industries of this country. Twenty years ago a single sawyer with a Hanson shingle machine would make forty to forty five thousand shingles In a day, and as wages received $2.30 per day with board. At present, a sawyer with the same style machine, which has been slightly improved by sawyers and filers (working men) a sawyer will make sixty to sixty-five or seventy thousand shingles per day and gets as wages $2.50 per day with board, or $3.00 without board. Yet today his $2.50 will buy less shingles or less of anything else than his $2.30 would have purchased twenty years ago. i - . i - - Highest Grade Men's Wear. The shop of the handsome windows.

Brownell was elect ed Mayor of Oregon City last Tues day, by an almost unanimous vote, al though he was pitted against a very popular man. J. J. Cooke. The vote given him marks the return of the confidence the people had in him and which was rudely shaken about six years ago when he was falsely accused of complicity in the land frauds. People were unreasonably ex cited at the time and readily believed what was published, without consid eration. His political enemies made capital of the accusation, while his political friends, faint-hearted, did no;, rally to his defense, which amount ed to desertion. People would not wait a reasonable time for facts to develop, but were pleased to fake "snap judgment" on the Senator. His appeal for a hearing was disregarded and he graciously retired from poll tics and patiently waited for the time when truth would set him right. It was months coming, but the day i iA A a . - "'5! jf. -'tjes- (A Scene from "CHARLEY'S AUNT" at Baker Theatre all week opening at Matinee Sunday, December 18th. Bargain Matinee Wednesday.
