BUILDING : 1
to Wear Shoes?
Customary
MATERIALS
We believe that shoes are the most satisfactory outer
covering for the feet, and contend that all gentlemen who
wish to appear well in polite society should wear them.
Now, the object of this dissertation is to call your atten
tion to our $2.50 Shoes for Men. Of course, other shoe
dealers have $2.50 Shoes ; some pay $12.00 per dozen for
them and others may pay $36.00. We think, however,
the dealers paying the latter price are limited. We do.
not, neither do we pay the former. We claim our $2.50
Shoes to be the best that money can buy and that can be
sold at that price. So sure are we of their good wearing
qualities that we say, " Take these Shoes, wear them,
and if they don't prove satisfactory, return them to us,,
and your money will be refunded." If you are curious,
just see our Corner Window filled with these celebrated
$2.50 Shoes. If this won't satisfy you, step inside, pur
chase a pair and examine them at your leisure.

C. Lonergan, representing a South
Idaho cattle company, was in the
city again last night, having completed
purchase of 1500 head of steers at Eu
gene. The price, he stated, at the time
he bought was considerably lower than
that for which cattle have been held in
Eastern Oregon. Stock is raised in large
numbers in the Willamette valley, and
a good proportion of it will be shipped
east from, there this spring. ' The beef
cattle around this section, Mr. Lonergan
states, are pretty well shipped out. ; His
stock will be moved in about a month to
the Montana range, from where, he es
timates, 400,000 cattle will be bought in
the fall for the Eastern market. This
win exceed any previous output for a
single year, but depends entirely nn the
continued high price of beef. Pendle

Young Swarts, who was stabbed by
his father near Salem a week ago, died
at St. Vincent's hospital, Portland
Tuesday. Swarts is now iii jail, with
charge of murder hanging over him. It
was a most brutal murder, the testimony
of Swarts' children showing not only
that he stabbed the boy without provo
cation, but that when his victim was
lying on the floor bleeding ' to. death, he
prevented the poor boy's sisters staunch'
ing the flow of blood, saying be wanted
him to die. - If there 'is rope and gallows
timber left in Oregon, it should be used

The Concert.
The concert at the Congregational
church last night was certainly a grand
success every way. The building was
filled to its utmost seating capacity and
the music was thoroughly enjoyed by
all. Mrs. Heald rendered, two numbers
on the piano and was heartily encored
each time. 1 be recitation ana encore
by Miss Grubbs was in her usual ex.
cellent style, which is always more than
appreciated by a Dalles audience. Miss
Aldrich of the Locks, favored the
audience with two songs and was en
cored both times.- Miss Anne Smith
sang two pieces and responded to an en
core. The duet by Miss Schmidt and
Mr. Burchstorf received unstinted praise,
and the entertainment concluded with
the laughable farce, "The Mouse Trap,"
in which the mouse was not in it.
Indians, Mrs. Berry and Mrs. Pomeroy
made a handsome silk flag, which they
presented to Captain Nathan Olney, at
that time a resident of The Dalles.
After the war was over Captain Olney
settled in the Yakima valley, and took
unto himself a wife from the Yakima
tribe. He died several years ago, but
his widow, now quite an ''old woman,
still keeps the flag, which she exhibits,
along with he husband's cane and
sword, with a great deal of pride.
In the spring, the human body needs
assistance to throw off the stagnation
prodnced by winter diet. As the tem
perature rises under the growing heat of
the sun's rays we feel tired, half-sick
and low in spirits, because the blood is
sluggish and fuil of impurities. Dr. J.
H. McLean's Strengthening Cordial and
Blood Purifier is a reliable spring re
medy to invigorate the body and give
tone to the digestion. . Price $1.00 per
