As this has been our practice since the beginning1 of our business,
we offer no apology or give any further reason for this
GREHT STHSH
This year our sale will be far more important than ever before, as our stock is fuller,
more varied, and owing to our taking advantage of Tariff changes and the "business de
pression, allows us to offer more tempting prices. Now is the time to get otlt.your sav
ings and invest them to good advantage. While a Dollar in our house is not any bigger
in size than anywhere else, it looks so because it will buy so much more. This is not a
sale of old goods carried over from year to year, for at the comm.encem.8nt of the year our
stock was extremely low, and this has allowed us to be liberal buyers. This is strictly a
sale of Fresh, Choice and.
UP-TO-DATE jVIEftG
HANDISE,
Bought as Low as Cash will Purchase, and flow Offered at Unheard-of Prices.
We are not dissatisfied with our goods; they are all right, for our business
during the present year has been extremely satisfactory, beyond any sanguine an
ticipations we might have formed at its commencement. W e therefore owe some
thing to our friends and customers, and will endeavor to show our appreciation of
their kindness by giving them an opportunity of selecting from our stock, goods
at away below regular prices. ' As every article in the house will be marked down
it will be impossilij for us to be ready until Wednesday. To avoid confusion,
goods will be sold at regular prices until then.
Of course, if you haven't a cent in the world, these . reduced prices will be of
'little service to you. Or if you have so much money that you don't know how to
spend it, then reductions are not an inducement. But if you are like the ma
jority of people, with just a little money and inclined to make it go as far as pos
sible, then, our figures are interesting. We want in this sale to see how much
more we can make a Dollar buy than it used to. '

The continued decline of the value of
horses until they are now seldom worth
feeding, ia turning this most civilized of
the animal kingdom back into barbar
ism. On the desert in Lake county
there is now a roving band of 1,000 "un-
societyNl
employed" horses that are running wild
and are almost as shy and hard to ap
proach as the deer and bear of the for
est. Shooting horses to get rid of them
as an expense is becoming more fre
quent every year. Ashland Record.
The Wasco county teachers' institute
meets tomorrow night at the courthouse
at 7:30 o'clock. The day sessions will
be held in the brick scboolhouse, and
Thursday and Friday evenings sessions
will be held in the opera house. A fea
ture of the Friday evening program will
be the "Fete of the Nations." This is
the prettily costumed representation of
all the nations as put on the stage by the
school children , at the closing exercises
last spring. The session promises to be
an exceptionally interesting one, and the
attendance will be unusuully large.
Fun and frolic, cleverly interspersed
with sparkling music and lively dances,

A Weather Note.
This morning a heavy fog hung over
the river, and a goodly portion of the
lowlands, hiding everything from view;
but about 10 o'clock the mists lifted and
the sun shone out' clear and bright.
Not a breath of air was stirring -and the
bosoms of the river and Second street
were like mirrors, save where here and
there a pedestrian slopped through the
latter where the crosswalks are sup
posed to be. On such occasions the
wavelets " would sweep up to the east
and finally break on the shore at the
brewery hiil. It was a beautiful day
verhead, but unfortunately most Dalles
eople are not traveling in that direc
tion.
We are not giving away stoves; but
we will sell our heaters until Christmas
at cost, to clear up stock. This is your
chance." Mays & Crowe.

Victor Notes.
Victor, Or., Dec. 7, 1894.
Editor Chronicle: Thinking you
would like to bear from us, I will write
you a few lines.
Our little town keeps growing right
along.
We have a blacksmith shop and the
smith has more than he can do, so he
keeps our honorable mayor, A. J. Jones,
quite busy throwing the large hammer
and it makes the color come to his manly
cheeks.
Our friend the harness maker is quite
busy. When not working od harness
goods, he puts in bis time repairing
shoes. Any one in need of anything in
his line we bespeak the work for him, as
he is a thorough mechanic at his trade.
We are having quite a good time at
tending meeting at the Baptist church,
the meetings are conducted by Rey.
Jones, from the valley.
Col. Wm. Helm was with us this week.
Come again Col. ; you are always welcome.
Mr. Riggalls, son-in-law of Emick, got
his leg broken, but Dr. Brown of Wamic
was called and the patient, we hope,
will soon be around again.
Hampton Kelley's folks have been
dangerously sick, but by the skilled
nursing of Dr. Powne of Tygh Valley
they are all getting along nicely.
We are going to have a Christmas tree
and we hope it will be a success.
We will try to keep you better posted
about our city in the future.
Mr. Jordan of Wamic has a nice, clean
stock of merchandise, cheap for cash.
Our first snow fell today to the depth
of four inches. It is cold and clear with
some indications of a change for the
better.
Stock all look well and the farmers are
all in good spirits.
I suppose you are tired of me for this
time, so' good bye until you hear from
me again. B. C.

The Fair a Failure.
We are sorry to learn from those who
have attended the Portland Universal
Exposition that the affair ia an utter
fake. It seems that the whole thing has
been turned into a ."cheap John" auc
tion house and barkers are everywhere
filling the building with their infernal
din. A visitor has no chance to see any
thing or hear anything, but ia pulled and
annoyed until anywhere outside of the
building ia far more pleasant than any-
where inside of it. The Portland expo
sition has always been a hobby with us,
and we regret indeed to know that it has
degenerated into a scheme for plunder
ing the public.
