Wltnin 3 , days we must have a force of workmen in our store cleaning out all the old shelves and
counters and replacing them with the mast modern and up to date fixtures to be had. But almost as fast
as the old goods are' being sold, the new Winter goods that Mr. Morse contracted for some
months ago ile in deeper. Goods that went cheap before must be thrown out at a still greater reduction, ,
The new goods that should bring a fair profit must be thrown out at just what they cost at the great east-1
em factories.
These are only a few of the Great Bargains that will be closed out today and tomorrow.

An enormous stride in the world's ad
vance iwas made in the opening of the
tmimuecanio wireless telegraphic service.
Tor years tho public and! tho press have
been at the mercy of the cable com
panies, and have been forced to pay tolls
that were o high as to retard com

one cause to the isolation and far-offnes
Hint the United States has suffered in
the European mind.
The cheapness of the Marconi service
(which will doubtlcHS soon be followed
by others, unless the inevitable "mer
ger" and "community of interests" in
terpoKc themselves) is a practical guar
antee of a quickly increased business
and a doner relationship between Eu

elimination of many ' of the existent

plunger of Wall Street, who is known
a.s a eoni stent bear, has made close to

hi dogged methods of deoling in short
sales of stocks. --
The young Westerner has no
secrets, apparently but freely tells
everybody what hw system is, and
shouts out his ordlcrs in his brokers'
olliee so all the world may hear. When
a deep voice resounds in tho olllce,. "Sell
me a thousand of this, or two -thousand
of that; sell it quick and at the market,"
without looking it is known Walker is
doing business, Then he is watched.
A moment of silence, and the deep
voice yells, "Sell one thousand Smelters.
That's a dog j it will go to seventy;
sell it 'quick. Just follow me and sell
the whole market."
Incidentally, Walker's Bpectacukr
achievement of making nearly two- mil
lion dollars a month out of the crooked
dealings of Wall Street may yet be
made to show the inherunt-unfoirness

CHECK FOR WHEAT
Pendleton Farmer Gets $70,000
for Season's Crop.
CROP FAILURE NEVER KNOWN
Government Reclamation Project Will
Add 30,000 Acres Of Fertile Land
Towns Spring Out of Dry Plains
Several Other Growing Rivals,
PORTLAND, Oct. 2D. What is be-
0
lieved to be the largest check ever paid
to any one wheat grower in the north
west, ha just been received by a Pen
dleton farmer for the season's crop rais
ed on about 3000 acres of Umatilla
wheat land. The cheek was drawn by
the Pacific Elevator Company for
$70,842.70.
(All Eastern Oregon has had a banner
crop year, producing 6,000,000 bushels
w one per cent of the total wheat crop
of the United States. Actual crop fail
ure was never knowji in this section,
and many who began work there a few
years ago with an ox cart are now rill
ing in automobiles. Part of the wheat
acreage is leased from the Indians of
the Umatilla reservation," who derive an
income of about $200,000 a year from
this source.
'Along tho main line of the Oregon
Ralhoad & Navigation Company lies
the government's Umatilla reclamation
project, which within a year or two,
will add 20,000 nerea of fertile land to
the productive area of this section.
This project already stimulated the ter
ritory effected to such an extent as to
wholly change its character. The prin
cipal town, Hermiston, has sprung out
of the" dry plains and now, with a popu
lation of COO, has several rapidly grow
ing rivals. -
Part of the land included in the gov
ernment's reclamation project wjll come
under cultivation next year, and a larger
part of 20,000 acres will be ready for
cultivation in 1001). The engineering
:work necessary to the transformation of
this territory from sage-brush desert to
productive farming land is simple, con
sisting of a feed canal from river to
reservoir and a distributing system that
can be completed in a short time.
No home is so pleasant, regardless of
the comforts that money will buy, as
when the entire family is in perfect
health. A' bottle of drino Laxative
Fruit Syrup costs 50 cents. It will cure
every member of the family of constipa
tion, sick headache or stomach trouble.
