Without question the trade-building sale which we have held for the
past 11 days and which has three days yet to run, has been the most
successful clothing sale ever held in this city. Not at all successful,
we assure you, from a temporary money-making standpomt, but
more than successful in the large number of satisfied customers and
the great amount of advertising the stores have received. These are
exactly the results we set out to accomplish, and we said in the be
ginning that we were prepared not only to sacrifice all our profits
for fifteen of the best selling days in the year, but donate several
thousand dollars to what we call good adverting.

said H. Beckwlth. chairman of th com
mittee, yesterday, "a If we had been
bargaining for chickens, and w were
assured of thla by the 6tate Game War

cancel the order out of deference to

As to Governor West , statement
that, while it would be a nice enter
tainment and a rare treat for the Pres
ident, bat that no one high or low has
a right to violate the law to obtain the
bird, ha showed In his later state
ment that be knew absolutely nothing
about tha subject of which he was
speaking.
West Owl Plaa Followed.
"He added to his remark about abid
ing by the law. the statement that If
th Portland reception committee de
sires to give a pheasant dinner to
President Taft. the stata will furnish
a sufficient number of birds from It
pheasant farms at the School for the
Feeble-Minded, but If the committee
demands more birds, it should purchase
them from the farms about the state.
The committee can obtain all th
pheasants It wants at the Simpson
Farm, near Corvallls. by paying for
them.' oontlnuea th Governor, 'and I
can see no reason why th. law should
be tampered with in tne iiibdimi.
Had Governor West taken the
trouble to inform himself on the sub
ject before making the statement he
did. he would have found that we were
intending to do the very thing that h
suggested as a way In which to obtain
the birds without voaltlng the law."
State Game Warden Flnley. when
asked for hi. explanation of his action
In approving the plan, said:
"There has been some controversy
as to the legality of serving China
pheasants at th dinner to President
Taft. The law provides that when
China pheasants are hatched and raised
In captivity, aa domestic birds, they
may be sold direct to consumers at any
time during the closed season, provided
that these birds are shipped alive and
are pinioned when young, by amputa
tion of the first Joint of the wing,
thereby rendering them unable to fly.
and by furnishing such other positive
evidence that they were so raised as
domestic birds as the Judgment of th.
State Game Warden shall require.
Distorted Stateneata Blamed.
"The whole difficulty In thl. matter
has been that statements have been

and tht committee In charge were get

He can have a Chinese pheasant din
ner any day In the year, not during tha

ants that are reared in captivity ana
has them shipped to him alive. The
price at this season Is 11.50 a bird. At

"S3" Hair Tonic has grown hair on
heads that were once bald. Of course
it is understood that in none of these
caaes were the hair roots dead nor had
the scalp taken on a glazed, shiny ap
pearance. When the roots of tba hair are en
tirely dead and the pores of the scalp
are glazed over, we do not believe that
anything can restore hair growth.
When Rexall "9S" Hair Tonic will do
as above stated, it 1 not strange that
we have suoh great faith In It and that
we claim it will prevent baldness when
used In time. It acts scientifically, de
stroying the germs which are usually
responsible for baldness. It penetrate,
to the roots of the hair, stimulating
and npurlshlng them. It is a most
pleasant toilet necessity. Is delicately
perfumed and will not gum nor per
manently stain the hair.
We want you to get a bottle of
Rexall "93" Hair Tonlo and use It as
directed. If It does not relieve scalp
Irritation, remove dandruff, prevent the
hair from falling out and promote an
increased growth of hair and In every
way give entire satisfaction, simply
come back and tell us and without
question or formality we will hand
back to you every penny you paid us
for It,
We lend our Indorsement to Rexall
"S3" Hair Tonic and sell It on this
guarantee, because are believe It is the
best hair tonic ever discovered. It
comes In two sizes, prices SO cents and

Seven Years to Pay
For the Richest Land in California
There is lying on tha surf ace of
one of the counties alone in
California sufficient mineral
wealth to pay the
National Debt.
There flows the springs and
the mountains of California
waters to heal every ill
of man. ,
There lies around the City of
Chico, in Butte County,
California,
the richest soil
in this richest state
in the Union!
Ton need not take any of our
Statements to prove this.
Ton need only to eome to Chico
and look about to see
that it is true and to
realize that we haven't
language to tell you
half the story.
The land is not only rich, fertile,
tillable and productive.
It lies over channels of water
which afford an
inexhaustible supply of
moisture that aids .
the rich soil and the
. balmy elimate in
producing the luscious fruits
and yielding a wealth
greater in quantity for the
number of acres cultivated
than in any. other section
you can discover.
All of these things are provable
because the orchards we are
offering you are
in full bearing
and have been for years.
The State of California chose
a portion of the Bidwell
Ranch for its experimental
gardens.
Ton know the land and water
and the climate must be
superior for that purpose .
to any other in the state
else the Government would not
have chosen it.
' And you can buy these producing
orchards,
these fertile soils .
on the liberal terms
of only 10 per cent down,
to show good faith, '
and seven years in which
to pay the remainder. '
Chico is the seat of the
State Normal School.
Chico has two newspapers,
two railroads,
trains every two hours.
Chico is a delightful city
in which to rear
a family.
Chico is just such a city
as one you would expect
to find in the midst
of a community where
the soil and the climate
yield fruits, ;
vegetables, grains, alfalfa "
and every other product : '
in such abundance.
And in such a location,
where transportation
takes the products
to market quickly,
cheaply.
You will do yourself an '
injustice if you do not
come to Chico to see
the land and the orchards
and the crops and the climate
and the conditions here,
' for there is no other
place equal to it.
Raw land may be productive
or may not.
Biiiyell Orchards are not
raw land.
- They are under a high state
of cultivation
and have proved their
fertility for many years.
There is no uncertainty,
no risk or doubt in Chico.
But you must see it for
yourself. A
In the meantime, if you cannot
come, write to

of Chico.
