" 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.

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

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

The following -from the Hillsboro In
dependent 'will prove " interesting read
ing: "Some years ago the sheriff of this
county had a prisoner little older than
a boy in bis teens, charged with burglar
ously entering the Farmington creamery.
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.
