made to sell at low prices, but they were never made to give satisfaction. This store has no such
bargain shoes in its tock. We have shoe bargains, however, that came to us through cash captures

of tha place generally. A room waa

the amount expended tha first year. 1o
on account, of the eost of refitting the

In securing the needed money, but now
have a list of regular subscribers who
keep up our monthly expensaa. . This
winter we will give a series of lectures

Sellwood and St.' Johns have another
bone to contend for and In thla last
etruggla Sellwood apparently has a bet
ter chance to win than It had whea the
woolen mills' were moved la it Johna.
Tha wool ' acourinc olant of Thontaa
Ross of Las Vegas. New Mexico, Is the-
prise tne piacea ara working for,, and
several complications - enter-into the
atruggle. Tha plant was to hare been
eaiaDiianea at Bt. johna. ' It waa under
the . wing of the management of; the
Portland Woolen mills, however, and at
that time the St. Jqhna council' and the
management had a. alight mlsunder
etandlng. which "ended with the . an
nouncement that the scouring plant
would go , to. Sellwood. But at- that
time It waa thought certain that the
Clarke' mill would be established at
Sellwood and there waa an opening for
a scouring plant. " since then tha sub
scribers to the. Clarke project have
given-up hope of getting the mill. The
scouring plant . may, however,, be yet
located at Sellwood, since proximity to
a' woolen mill la not an essential to the
successful - operation of such ' a slant.
and since the old Portland milt site' on
Johnson creek la still unoccupied and
la admirably adapted to tha purpose.
