WE HAVE rather neglected our Advertising of late, not
because we had nothing to sell; but we had nothing
especially new to offer, and preferred to wait until we could
say something of interest. We are, and have been for some
time, busily engaged in placing our orders for Spring and
Summer Goods and fee justified in, announcing that. we
shall have the FINEST ASSORTMENT and the BEST
GOODS in all our lines that' has ever been seen in The
Dalles. We have secured some genuine ' novelties in the
Dry Goods Department, and the ladies will certainly con
sult their best interests by deferring their purchases until
after their arrival, of which wo shall . give you due notice.
Keep both eyes on this space and we will certainly surprise
you, not only with the goods, but the prices at which we
shall sell them. We mean business .and propose to have
your patronage, if LOW PRICES and the BEST
GOODS will accomplish it. Yours Respectfully,.

at is probable, says a Salem corres
pondent, that the committee appointed
to visit the Walla Walla penitentiary, to
inspect the,jute mill there, will "report
in favor of establishing a similar institu

member of the committee told yocTor
respondent that the evidence was
strongly in favor of such action. -Inte
bags, he Baye, cost the state four and
one-half cents, and are sold within the
state of Washington for six and one
fourth cents, while in Umatilla county,
just across tkeJine, similar bags sold for
from eight to ten cents apiece, and the
same in the Willamette valley. The
plant of a mill capable of employing 300
men will cost about $115,000, with water
power; if steam power is necessary,
about $10,000 more. This is beside the I
