We Would Rather Invoice the Cash Than the Goods
The Next Two Days Will Be the Greatest in Our History
Through Business to California Es
. : pecially Increased and Ixcal Trains
All Crowded.
In the opinion of railroad traffic of
ficials the holiday rush of travel which
reached the peak last night has been
the heaviest California passenger bus
iness ever handled at this season.
Local holiday travel is just beginning
to set in heavily. Southern Pacific train

ing in two sections, in which were
comprised 13 standard sleepers, three
tourist cars, three chair cars, besides
the' usual number of baggage and ex
press cars. No. 15 yesterday morning
carried three standard sleepers, two
tourists and four chair cars. No. 13,
leaving at 8 o'clock last night, was run
in two sections, the first carrying six
standard and two tourist sleepers and
five chair cars, and the second 10 cars
of express, parcel post and mail.
Passengers are moving in all direc
tions. Kastbound trains yesterday
generally carried extra cars, and the
railroads are taxed to find sufficient
equipment. .All trains between Port
land and Puget Sound cities have been
'Very heavy for several days past and
were especially so yesterday. The Great
Northern train due at 10:30 last night
came in two sections of 12 cam and
eight cars, respectively. Interchange
of rolling stock proved convenient.
One Southern Pacific train for the
South was made up chiefly of Oregon
Washington cars, while Seattle passen
cer of the Union Pacific system con
sisted of Spokane, Portland & Seattle
coaches.

Think How Needlessly You Have Suffered
With Headache All These Years
When your eyes were red, inflamed and irritated and
your head ached so badly you didn't feel that you cared to
do anything or see anyone, you were needlessly punishing
yourself.
Many who for years have suffered intensely from
chronic sick headaches, having used drugs of all kinds with
out benefit, have found immediate and permanent relief
by wearing my Perfect-Fitting Glasses. The cause of the
headache was eyestrain the glasses remove the cause the
cure is lasting.
Let me help you to be "headacheless" by wearing my
Perfect-Fitting Glasses.
