Redaction tn Fares Is Greatest Made In Northwest by Railroads li Years. Rates to th Christian Church con vention, which will be held In this city from July 4 to 11. will be th lowest In effect in tha Northwest in recent years. It waa announced by th local omcea oi roads operating in this territory that I fare of 862.60 for tha round trip from cm cago. I&7.60 from 'St. Louis and 50 from Kansas City. Omaha. St. Paul. Minn apolla and Missouri River points will pre vail. Tickets will be placed on sale June 5 and C June 10 to 22 Inclusive, and June XI to July S inclusive, with a return limit to September 15. These rates ar calculated to take car of both tha meet ings of the National Educational Associa tion at Ban Francisco ana the Christian Church convention. The sale on June 6 and t also will enable Eastern people to obtain additional low rates to the Rosa Festival. These reduced fares have been agreed to by the Transcontinental Paaaenger As sociation and will be extensively adver tised by the Eastern as well aa the West ern roads. The' rates are so low that It ia thought many people, if they find con ditions here favorable, will remain per manently In the Northwest. The round-trip fare la much lower than that which prevailed during any of the conventions held In Portland In the past few yeara, as low as thoae to tha Lewis and Clark fair and the Seattle exposition. Tli Christian Church convention, it Is expected, will be attended by at least 10,000 people about half of whom will be delegates and th other half visitors, caking advantage of the low rates. In addition to this number of people thousands will come to Portland during June, when tha low rates are in effect. Reduced rates have been announced by the transcontinental railway lines for the convention of the National Educa tional Association in Ran Francisco in July, the ssme rata to apply on busi ness to the North Pacific Coast. The dates of eala will be June 6 and t and June 10 to 22 Inclusive, with return limit September 16.

Flour Is down 20 cents a barrel; eggs, S cents a dozen, and butter 60 to 75 cents a roll. Fish, too. Is rather cheaper this week, though Columbia River smelt remain comparatively high in price, at 10 to ltVe cents a pound. This time last year, smelt were to be had at about 1 cents a pound.

Arti chokes are slightly cheaper than usual, good ones being obtainable at 10 cents each. The fruit market cannot be expected to have anything new at present. The men who explore and the Z men who work in th wild places of the earth, whether in the frigid arctic circle, in the tropical jungle the desert or in the un mapped hills, all know the wonderful sustaining power of pure cocoa, due to the great percent age of nutriment it contains; more than is contained in any other food. 1 mi rJi:- man mm V' i le, in 0 ifs! i j.h ..mm i "-51 m mm (SB) COCOA S On MI made from the finest selected cocoa beans, from chosen tropical plantations, is the purest, the most perfect and most nourishing of all beverages. It is so delicious that it is the most popular; its purity and strength make it the most economical as well. Costs less than a cent a cup. D. Ghirardelli Co.
