At the end of our Business Year, when we had -completed the
inventory of our stock of Merchandise, we found it was considerably
less than we, or our predecessors in business, had ever invoiced.
.-
This was not mere chance.- It was the result of careful plan
ning last fall. So sure were we that we could purchase so much
cheaper at the beginning of the, present year that we held our Cash
Sale of last December and offered many lines at cost and less, feeling
assured that we could replace them at a much lower price. The re
sults have proved the correctness of, our. theory:
The great depletion of our stock will permit us to offer, for i
your inspection a complete and entire new stock at prices which for
many lines of goods will be less than last year's cost to us.
Many of the leading brands of Bleached and Unbleached Cot
tons, Prints and Wash Fabrics we have been able to buy for less
than the cost of manufacturing, because the demand has been greatly
curtailed ; stocks at the mills were accumulating, and the treasurers
thought it a wiser plan to try and move goods even at a small loss,
than to discharge the help and closethe mills- '
We think the bottom was reached about the time our. Orders
were placed, and we are looking for a revival with the coming of
spring. ......
A LITTLE WAIF.
Ed Gibson's 5-Year-Old Daughter
Betters Her Condition.
Little Myrtle" lias -Been Going Bare
Toot all Winter An A fleet in c
Scene at the Court
House Today.
A very affecting incident took place at
the court house today before Judge
Bradshaw the legal separation of a
mother from her child. The father is in
the asylum at Salem, the mother and
child being left, and today they were
separated.
Myrtle Gibson is the name of the little
girl, who is 4 or 5 years old, and is to be
taken to the home of the Boys and Girls
Aid Society tonight bv W T. Gardner.
superintendent of the home, who came
up on last night's train. The child is
the daughter -of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Gib
son.- Gibson was sent to the asylum a
few weeks ago for the cure of the mor
phine habit, and hrs wife, the mother.
has been demonstrated as incompetent
to care for her. She gets hen living by
questionable methods and is otherwise
unfit to care for a child. Two of the
grand jury went to .the house a week ago
bunday to look into the circumstances.
The bouse is a small shabby affair across
the track from the depot. It is cold and
cheerless and lighted , by a hole in the
side of the building about a foot bv 14
inches in dimensions. The child swears
like a trooper, an accomplishment , she
learns from her mother, and was ncirW
naked. She has been going barefoot all
winter. Two ladies of the King's Daugh
ters also visited the place last week.
They found that the little girl was
clothed In a red flannel shirt, intended
originally for a man, the sleeves of
Which, bad been cut off, and a gingham
apron which should have been put in a
washtub months before. Her hair had
evidently never been combed, for it was
matted and hung in strings as large
around as one's finger. She had a new
pair of shoes, but no stockings. The
case was reported to the county court,
and the measures were adopted which
culminated today in relieving the wo
man of the child's custody. : .
Mrs. Gibson, as she appeared before
the court, was a verv forlorn spectacle.
The faded cloak and straw bat, which
she has worn all winter, looked only a
trifle seedier, and as she sat with her
head bowed by the face of her little one,
she looked the picture of abandonment'.
Nevertheless, a mother's heart beat be
neath her shabby ' attire and her eves
frequently filled with tears as she pressed
the little one closer to her bosom, aa the
convincing evidence came out asrainat
her, calculated to relieve her of the fur
ther care of her child.. In the broad
light of day. before the judicial nrppfinm.
and in the sight of the lawyers and wit
nesses she shrank abashed, as the evi
dence came ' out that she failed to pro
vide suitable clothing; that she con
sorted with other men ; that ' she was
introduced by her husband into a house
of ill fame ; and when she was finally
asked to show' canse why the child
should not be taken away from her, she
only said feebly ; ; "I have nothing to
say, only that I intended to send her to
my father and mother in a few days."
Inquiry showed them to be Mr. Smith
Bludsoe and wife of Fossil. Mr. Gard
ner said that inquiries would be made
and if the parents proved to be suitable
individuals to ' care for the child, they
should most certainly have it, but with
the understanding that the mother
should never have it Until she improved
her condition, otherwise it would . be
taken to the home.
This afternoon the little one was given
over to the mercies - of the King's
Daughters to be cleaned up and clothed
It will doubtless surprise her to find her
self in the possession of a complete
wardrobe of miniature articles of cloth'
ing of great variety, for the King's
Daughters and the Y's have, with deft
hands, been busy for days, in this chari
table work.. There are dresses, aprons
and underclothes of all weights and
materials and plenty of them, and if her
head is not turned with pride it will not
be for lack of comparison. She will be
taken to fcie home tonight by Mr.
Gardner.
Mr. W. T.. Gardner, superintendent
bf the Boys nd Girls Aid. Society of
Oregon, arrived last night for the dou
ble purpose of taking little Myrtle Gib
son to the home and to bring with him
Lotan Crary, aged 12, an inmate of the
home, who goes to the farm of Mr. Gil
braith, abo 't nine miles from the city. .
He also gives the information that the
two Graham girls, who with a little
brother, were taken to the home from
The Dalles about a year and a half ago,
have been provided with good homes,
The little boy is -still with the home.
The father is now in the Okanogan min
ing district and has recently written a
letter to -Superintendent Gardner, ex
pressing his complete satisfaction as to
the disposition of the children. ' Dollie
Howard, aged -14, who was also sent
from The Dalles, has turned out to be a
very good girl. She is again tempora
rily at the home, owing to . financial re
verses of her benefactors.
There are at present twenty boys and
ten girls in the home, averaging in age
from 4 to 16 years. - - The home is a char
itable corporation, and receives 'partial
support by state appropriations.
Telephones for The Dalles.
Mr. J.. H. Thatcher,, superintendent of
the Oregon Telephone and Telegraph
Co.," at Portland has written to Mr.
Fred Houghton in relation to establish
ing in this city a "Magneto Exchange,"
or in other 'words a telephone system.
If twenty-five f subscribers can be se
cured, the rate to each would not be in
excess of $2 per month to each. With
the ordinary telephone companies the
rate is about - per month.' Mr.
Thatcher states that the company's long
experience and control of patents ena
bles them to furnish the best magneto
telephone manufactured and at the most
reasonable prices. There is no reason
why the city should not have an exten
sive telephone system, which will be
very convenient and hence valuable.

Fresh Columbia River smelt 5 cents
This year we have made no great effort to move any of our old
stock being conscious that we can do so much better for 'our cus-'
tamers in prices, styles and qualities with bur new goods. On their
arrival we can give you the latest creations of both Foreign, and Do
mestic Manufacturers, at. far more favorable prices than any stock
can be offered which was carried over from last year. Cabot W Mus
lin of 1893 manufacture at 6 cents a yard is as good value as Cabot
W at 6 cents a yard of 1894 manufacture; but Wash Fabrics, Dress
Goods, Clothing, fcc, even if offered to you at 1893 cost, is not as
good as we will be able to do. " " r
The cost of production is now less, the mills are making goods
cheaper, they place them on the market at smaller margins, the job
bers sell them at a lesser profit, and so we will place before our cus
tomers lines of Fabrics for say, 10 cents, which in more prosperous
years would cost us at least 12 cents. . ,
Again, the keen competition between the different mills has
caused them to pay much more attention to the designs, and finish
of the new Fabrics, and -the coming season's goods will be more ele
gant than those of any previous .year. .
Let us impress this upon you: . . " .
vBe not tempted to invest in OLD GOODS, no matter how
tempting the price may seem, for we assure you that we, will be able
to offer you new, fresh and stylish goods in all. the latest weaves and
fabrics at a less price than can any goods of last year's, stock, be sold.

Princess Hohenlohe, the wife of the
governor general of Alsace-Lorraine,
inherited -from her uncle, a Russian
general, estates in Russia worth 80,
000,000 or 40,000,000 rubles. Under the
Russian law foreign non-residents can
not hold- property, and the princess
was compelled to .sell her estates at
once. She asked the czar to grant her
a little time, as the financial strin
gency, which prevails in Russia as well
as in this country, has made real estate
hard to dispose of. The czar-, how
ever, for political reasons, - refused to
grant the extension and the poor wom
an was able to realize only a beggarly
pittance of 15,000,000 or 30,000,000 rubles '
from her heritage.

"While the principle of . seeing by
electricity at a distance," says Prof. A.
Graham Bell, "is the same as that ap
plied in the telephone, yet it will be
very much more difficult to construct
such an apparatus, owing to the im
mensely ' greater rapidity with which
the vibrations of light take place when
compared with the vibrations of sound.
It is merely a question; however, of -finding
a diaphragm which will be '
sufficiently sensitive to receive these .
vibrations and produce the correr
