MINORITY IS WITH H0DGIN Republicans on Committee Report for Contender of Their Party and Democrat for Member of Hl-s Recount In Mix-rp. STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or., Jan. 16. (Snecial.)

Democrat, will file a mi nority report, urging that Hodgin be seated. While the report will probably come In tomorrow, there is a possibility or an adjournment on that day and the question of who shall be entitled to the seat may go over for a special order for some day next weeK. in event the fight assumes any propor tions on the floor of the Senate, it is likely that Kiddle will arise in his seat and ask that the entire showing of ballots be called for from Union and Wallowa Counties, that the Senate may determine exactly the result of the vote. It Is understood that so far only about half of the precincts have under gone a recount. Kiddle was apparently elected and was granted a certificate.

Kiddle is a Republican and Hodgin Is a Democrat. From tnat standpoint the fight takes on some what of a political aspect, inasmuch as the majority report favoring Kiddle will be filed by the two Republicans of the special committee and the mi norlty report favoring the Democrat will be filed by the Democrat on the committee.

Great, indeed,in volume great in the economies that have been realized, and still great in its wonderful possibilities. Measured by the dollar stand ard, my customers' savings during this sale run into the thousands, instead of hun clxccls. Measured from the ordinary dealers' standpoint of "cent per cent" I can compute no gain on the contraiy, a loss; but in this store there is a higher ideal the satisfaction that comes from having pleased hundreds of custom ers, old and new the knowl edge that this stupendous event gives their dollars a double worth the pleasure in making new friends and meeting new faces. Have you shared in these economies? Op portunity is still ripe, but you must not de lay if you would let it serve you best.
