n We will commence p As this has been our practice since the beginning" of our business, we offer no apology or give any further reason for this GREHT S GE M f i " 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 out 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 commencement 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 U P-TO-D ATH MERCHANDISE, Bought as Low as Cash will Purchase, and Now 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. We 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 impossible; 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 indncement. .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. Terms of StMetly Gash. All Goods Marked in Plain Figures. PEASE & MAYS.

The day has been clear and beautiful, a trifle colder than yesterday, but yet way above the freezing point. There is mud enough in sight to last through whole lots of such weather, however. and enough also to make one think that Webfoot itself was here. Deputy Sheriff Barnes this week ar rested one D. E. Davies, who resides in the Siskiyous and has been indicted for the crime of polygamy, and lodged him in the county jail.

Uoncerning the recent collision ' at Squally Hook there are two stories which will not agree with one another, the dis pute being as to time only. According to the story of the crew on 22 that train was two minutes late, while according to the boys on 23, 22 was a minute or two ahead of time.- We printed the story as we heard it first, and of course do not pretend to say which crew is correct. It seems hardly more than necessary to announce the fact that W. C. An derson's new farce comedy "The Jolly O.d Chums" will be seen in this city, date of Dec. 15, to insure a crowded house. Mr. Anderson's attractions have always given such eminent satisfaction tnat one feels safe in going, knowing full well that he will always keep faith with the public. "The Jolly Old Chums" is eaid to be even tunnier- than "Two Old Cronies," which created such a favora ble impression wherever produced, and made more money for its owners than any other farce-comedy on the road dur ing its time for five consecutive seasons Reserved seats on sale at Blakeley A Houghton's.

He was arrested on an indictment, and confined at the jail here at Hillsboro, but his mind failing, he was strapped to a board and transferred to the insane asylum at Salem. After a time he re covered and was returned to the custody of the sheriff. But in a short time hi health again broke down, and he wal released the officers expecting to be able to pick him up when wanted, bu,t he disappeared, and all Sheriff Ford had when he took the office was a bench war- rent. The boy was known here by the name of Oscar Schellberg, but the world now knows him as Lieutenant Schell berg, of the Japan navy. How the thing came about is best told by the lieutenant himself in a letter received by Sheriff Ford this week : "Chemulpo, Corea, Oct, 31. 1894 - "Mr. H. P. Fordw I suppose that you will be surprised to receive a letter from me, but I thought I would let you know I am no more the half-witted boy, as once I had the misfortune to be. After leaving Oregon, I served two years in the United States navy, and was dis charged by request. I now hold the rank of lieutenant in the Japan navy. Befor this war is over I hope that good fortune will favor me and allow me to rise in rank. Yours truly, O. Schellberg. A Bat'i Act. his front feet on another.
