ECONOMY IN CASH PURCHASES
A Portland paper tell of the experi
ences of a robust and healthy looking
citizen who has been paying butcher's
bill and baker's bills for some years,
but who has lately adopted the plan
of selecting his . steaks, roasts and
stews himself and paying for them
when ordered. In the latter suggestion
there -Is much that la appreciated and
understood by Astoria people. He says
he rather enjoys marketing, and finds
that he gets what he wants more fre
quently than he used to, and also that
he eaves from 25 to GO per cent In his
exenditures. , Of course choice cuts
are always scarce and high priced, and
the best not always to be obtained, but
under the new style, ho haa the pleas
ure of selecting for himself and taking
what suits him best, instead of leav
ing this to the butcher's clerk.. Once
or twice at first, he says, a different cut
from the one he selected and paid for
wb sent up, but he aoon put a stop to
that sort of thing. What led him to
make the change wag receiving a bill
for "mats for the month of ,"
so much, nothing being Itemised, and
no chance afforded for cheeking up.
The Idea of the butcher in regard to
the change from credit to cash syatera
have not been ascertained, but probab
ly It i aa well satisfied as hi custo
mer, and doubtless would be pleased to
see everybody adopt the cash system.

FORGER IS BOUND OVER Ar
rthur B. Freel, the young man who
was arrested yesterday by Sheriff Lin-
vlile for forging a worthless time
check and passing it on Max Straht,
the Bond street clothier, was given, a
preliminary bearing In unite Good
man's court yesterday and bound
over to await the action of the circuit
court. Hla bonds were fixed at $1000.
At his examination he aald he was on
ly 17 years of age, and from his appear
ance It would seem as If he spoke the
truth. He says that the actual forg
ery waa committed by another man,
the only part he took In the crime waa
to pass the worthless piece of paper.
This man, tie aald, '. known as James
Kendall. It was also brought out at
the hearing that Freel attempted to
cash a forged check for 113 on S. Wein
gardt. He admitted havins served a
term of 10 weeks In the Multnomah !
county jail recently, but said that he
was held there as witness not as a
culprit. A telephone message received j
from Portland by the sheriff was to the
effect that Freel had just been released
after serving a term of Imprisonment
for larceny of some copper wire in com
pltclty with other men. "He has the
reputation of being the biggest liar
that ever took up compulsory residence
here" said the man at the Portland end
of the telephone, nd It's unsafe to
believe him on oath." Letters found in
possession of the prisoner Sbowed that
he had been in trouble before, one be
ing from hla sister in which. she refer
red to the disgrace he had brought
down on the family and exhorting him
to1-mend hi s ways. In his pocket
waa found wallet containing a mis
cellaneous assortment of trash. Includ
ing a package of obscene literature.
Freel was asked if he could obtain the
services of a lawyer, "My father Is a
member of the 400 In San Francisco;
be is one of the largest slaughter house
owners in the city," he said.' He has
already told several different stories
all of which are branded aa fafse by
the sheriff.
