And this may go on for several

th Band people expect the road to ba

that, but It need axclta bo criticism If
It doea not reach there until October,
or later, for the construction of the
bndge over Crooked River is a large
undertaking- Throe of tha conatructlon
men came from the Kast and reported
for work today, bat they were told to
return about June 10. so no actual con.
struotlon work will begin until then.
Remember tha gorge over which this
bridge passea Is about too feet deep.
All of the work must be don from this
side. The wagon road to reach the
south bank la eight or nine miles In
length. It la almost Impossible to get
acroea without going to tha crossing,
three miles above.
The length of the bridge from pier

the exception of a similar structure at
Johannesburg. South Africa.
And every day until tha trains can
croaa means a day aa a terminal for
Opal, and by the time tha tralna do
crosa you will find a splendid little town
her, to go on prospering, for there will
be lots ot buslneas dona her thereafter
as well as now.
Aald from th landa mentioned as be
longing to Opal, there la a district to the
north and northwest which will perma
nently belong to thla place. Thla Is Its
natural outlet, Ita logical trading point.
Many carloads of wheat, barley, cattle
and hogs will com her annually for
shipment, and the money will bo left
here In tba banks or mercantile establishments.
Tha reader will remember that Prlne-
vtll Is not oa a railway. 1 do not think
the PrlnevlUe people ara to bo pitied for
thla On the other hand. It looka like
blessing for them, for they will assured
ly build a road themselves, aad that will
b aa alectrto road, and this will b Its
weetern terminus- It will her connect
with th Hill lines. Such a road will
build up PrlnevlUe as will nothing else.
for It will establish many dairy farms
along the rout, and creameries at both
ends Prlne-rtlle snd Opal.
This Is no Idle dream. Look on many
of the map yoa will and and you will
sea tha route of thla road laid down,
for there have been several surveys
msde. and Opal Is tha logical western
terminus. No other routs is so feasible.
Sprlnga Give Town Name.
Th nam of Opal come from a aeries
of springs In ths Crooked River canyon
a few mtlea to the west. These springs
sre very large, giving a mean Cow of
1.M cublo feet par eeouad. It Is too bad
they are so far down In th canyon as
to bo useless for power or Irrigation
purpose, even for domastio use. But
such la ths case.
There have been 10 carloads of wheat
shipped from bere during the last month,
and a good many cattle, and It will be aa
Important ahlpping point for wheat, bar
ley and cattle from now on.
It la almost worth a trip her to see
th loads of express goods hauled away
to the south aad east every evening
after th train arrive from Portland.
Usually there are two largs four-faorss
loads and on .or two two-horse. tx

dale ' mectina- of th development

Tihbs-Hutchings Stock to

At a Little Less Than 50c on the Dollar Great Sale
Planned Which Will Be of Inestimable Value to
Every Consumer as Well as to Every
Storekeeper of the Northwest
West's Greatest Merchandising Event
The home of the greatest Dry Goods House in the "West, that of lindete, "Warner & Sons, nt
Fourth, Broadway and Rosabel streets, St. Paul, where early in June will be sold the assets of
Tibbs, Hutchings & Co, just purchased at auction for less than 50 cents on the dollar..
The cTowine ability of the great prosperous Northwest to "take care of itself" financially was
conYincingly proven by the purchase of the Tibbs, Hutchings & Co. bankrupt dry goods stock last
week by Lindeke, "Warner & Sons, the pioneer dry goods wholesalers and manufacturers of St. Paul.
This was. without exception, the greatest bankrupt stock ever sold at auction. The stock was
larger and the consideration was larger than in any other similar sale in the mercantile history of
the country. '
The power of "ready cash" was comprehensively demonstrated when assets valued at over two
and one-half millions were sold to the St. Paul firm for $1,243,000.00 a trifle less than 50 cents on
the dollar. This in spite of the efforts of Eastern "wrecking" and "assets realization" companies
to get the stock and move it East.
The net result to the merchants and consumers of the Northwest is the doubling of the purchasing
power of their money when it goes to buy the Tibbs-Hutchings stock. Had it not been for Lindeke,
Warner & Sons rbig opportunity would have been transferred to merchants and consumers further
East. It would seem, then, that Lindeke, warner & Sons, besides deserving credit for a good strode
of shrewd business, are also entitled to praise for a piece of work that will help the whole Northwest.
Included in their purchase are not only every bit of merchandise formerly owned by the unfor
tunate Minneapolis concern, but also their real estate, fixtures, trade-marks, good will, accounts and
bills receivable. The merchandise and fixtures are now being moved to the big Lindeke, Warner &
Sons building at Fourth, Broadway and Rosabel streets, in the heart of St. Paul's downtown wholesale
district. Experts are even now at work classifying and arranging the stock, and when all is in readi
ness the greatest sale of bankrupt merchandise that the Northwest ever knew will be held
This sale will be to merchants only. It will take place some time in June and full particulars will
be published in this newspaper, in the "Lindeke-Warner Bulletin" and in circulars sent direct to the
trade.. rio goods will be sold at retail and it will be a case of nrst come, rust served : every mer
