These Men's Shoes we are now talking about -would cost about
Pour or Six Dollars. Even now most dealers get from $2.75 to $3.00.
We bought them right and we intend to sell them for $2.50, and will
do so later. There is plenty of wear in them, they look well, fit well
and are up-to-date shoes for gentlemen. We say now
For them, because this pric9 is less than cost, is no more reason why
they are not a bargain and why you should not have some.
You will see them m our show windows as soon as we get the
painters out of the windows, meanwhile step inside and take a look at
them. , .

The Chinese lily which has filled with
perfume so many of our residences is
just going out of bloom, and many ladies
will want to know what to do with
with them. Mrs. A. J. Goodman, of In
dependence, writing to the West Side,
who is an authority on flower culture
in that section, says to plant them in
the garden and the bulbs will multiply,
and two years from now thp new bulbs
will bloom Thus our flower-lovers can
have their own bulbs, without buying
them. . .
An unknown individual, but pretty
well dressed and carrying a bundle, was
observed late last night to deposit his
bundle on the sidewalk, go to the center
of the street and deliberately roll in the
mud.' He then picked up the bundle
and continued in hi 4 original direction.
Only one explanation of the singular ac
tion can thus far be conjectured. He
had "dropped his roll" at some gambling
resort, and had a story concocted to tell
his better half about two masked men, a
terrible etruggle, a d. s. thud, and un
consciousness, which was designed to
make each particular hair stand on end
of the woman who will admire his manly
fight against odds by which he lost his
filthly lucre, but saved his precious life.
Klickitat Bonds Valid.
Qn
November 8th last, the ronntv
L.ourt o Klickitat countv sold $70,000
uworth of bond8 Shephard & Co.,
brokers, New York city, being . the suc-
cessful bidders 6 per cent payable semi
annually subject to a test case to be
carried to the ' supreme ' court as to
whether or not the county could legally
lond.. A letter has just been received
by an interested party here from the at
torney of Shephard & Co., stating that
the bonds, are being .lithographed,
which,- justifies the conclusion '.that
the supreme court has decided they
are legally issued and the money will be
forthcoming at once. The holders of
warrants will soon, therefore, have a
chance to realize on them.
Mr. Shelley's Troubles.
The county . school superintendent is
buBied today with four petitions to
to
ang"e . boundaries of school districts.
Since the one from Mosier, which came
the other day, a remonstrance has been
received containing seventeen names of
the ;original petition, praying that the
boundaries remain as they are, the
.seventeen pleading alack of information.
Another ;one is very indefinite in de
scription, and opens out ".commencing
at the ' southwest quarter," etc. It" is
such' things as this that keep d.own the
prohibitionist - vote eveiy year and
make' demands for an Eastern Oregon
branch;' insane- asylum. Prof. Shelley,
in the one case, has written that he will
do nothing until they agree, and in the
other has written for further instructions.
MAVS;
Inculcating Patriotism.
The salute of the flag at . the high
school Friday afternoon, called out a
umber of ladies to witness the beautiful
ceremony. Since the presentation of a
flag to each school in The 'Dalles, the
beautiful rite has been faithfully per
formed once every week. Over 100 pu
pils participated, and the sight of their
bright, enthusiastic faces all turned
toward "Old Glory" would have aroused
to patriotic fervor even "a man without
a country.". The music and recitations
that followed were above the average,
but that was not surprising, as it would
be almost impossible for pupils, taught
to salute daily the dear old flag to be
otherwise than bright, cultured .and
well mannered. Profs. Gavin, Stratton
and Miss Hill, who preside over this de
partment, have certainly fulfilled their
duties in a careful, painstaking, manner
and deserve high -. . commendation.
Visitors would be well repaid by visiting
the schools frequently,' as the entertain
ment is far superior to many that are
witnessed by full houses at 50 cents per
capita. Mrs. Mary Scott' Myers, de
partment president of the W. R. C., to
whose untiring zeal we are indebted for
the introduction of the flag salute into
our schools, was present and expressed
unqualified pleasure at the happy
result.
Veritable Itonanza in Skamania.
The Gpldendale papers are exhilarated
over the recent gold discoveries near
that city. The Republican believes they
are a part 'of the Mt. ' Helens range, and
says :
That part of Skamania county that
lies between Mt. Adams and Mt. St.
Helens is the coming- field for the opera
tion of the St. Helens Gold Mining Co.
recently incorporated, with . a capitaliza
tion of $4,000,000 under the laws of Wis
consin. This great find of pre assays as
high $800 per Ion. It was discovered in
1894 and the investigation has been
completed to the satisfaction of Million
aire Pabst, the Milwaukee brewer, Oscar
V. Deuster ahd other prominent men of
the beer city, who have all taken a part
of the capitalization. There has been
taken and patented to the syndicate 152
claims. , It is said extensive stamp mills
and complete camp outfits will be at the
mines by. April 15tb... Work will be
ushed at once as soon as practicable.
he find is located at an elevation 'of
5,000 feet above the sea level. Since'it
is well known to the man who has been
to the Mt. Adaina section tbattbe prom
ising gold field is not many miles from
the county line of Klickitat and Ska
mania, and for this reason many be
lieve . the same prospect extends into
Klickitat. It has been rumored that the
ledge and mountain range north of Gol
dendale are one, and the eame as that
of St. Helens.
