These Men's Shoes we are np-w talking about -would cost about
Four 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 price 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.-

there were two classes of people he
wanted to speak about those who did

THE CITY DADS
Consider Huntington' Alley Sneda
Iter's Warrant--Xew Ordinance, Ktc
Tne council men who were present at
the regular meeting last night were
Messrs. Menefee, the mayor, Ross,
Crowe, Nolan, Lauer, Saltmarshe, Wood,
and Johns.
After reading of minutes, the petition
of B. S. Huntington and. others was
taken up for an alley in the rea of block
14. Mr. Huntington was present to
urge the measure through, and furnished
the council with needed information and
maps. Sir. Bonn, who is averse to the
proposition, was also present, claiming
that he would oppose it unless it was
made a 20-foot alley. The petition calls
for a width of .14 feet. Mr. Huntington
claims that every foot of width over 14
feat will be a serious detriment to him
self. 'However he was willing to in
crease it to 16 feet. By this he loses a
valuable fruit tree and is compelled to
move his barn. With a 20-foot width
he would lose three fruit trees, and Mr.
Whealdon would have to move bis
house. The petition was referred to the
committee on streets and pnbli
property.
A petition of Stubling& Williams for
rebate of liquor license, $150, was read,
and on motion of Saltmarehe, was
granted. ,
Dr. Snedaker, in response to the re
quest of the council for an indemnifying
letter to recover a f3 warrant, accident
ally burned, wrote a letter to the council,
which was read by the recorder, pledg
ing bis entire property, personal and
real, to stand between the city and dis
aster. Postponed till next regular
meeting.
A letter from the Cle-Elum Coal Co.,
asking the council to purchase their
black diamonds was read. It was re
ceived with ouch blank indifference that
it made a noise when it struck the floor.
The report of the committee on the
mattter of the city granting corrected
deeds to certain lots, recommending that
they be given, was adopted.
Councilman Johns of the committee
on streets and public property, report
ing on Che matter of the road east of

Ap ordinance was then read entitled
an ordinance to prevent and punish
trespass on real and personal property.
section. 1 refers to lawlessness or vio
lence being perpetrated on all public
buildings or property belonging to the
ity or any corporation or business firm.
ection 2 refers to the trespassing upon
any railway train, whether in motion or
not, and is aimed at those boys or others
who are in the habit of jumping on and
off cars when in motion for the sake of
what sport there is in it. The ordi
nance was placed upon its final passage
and passed, all present voting aye.
Councilman Nolan brought to the at
tention of the council, upon request of
Water Superintendent Norman, the
matter of the appraisement of lots in
Gates addition belonging to the city.
Mr. Nolan mcved that the committee on
streets and public property appraise all
unsold lots in Gates addition. Mr.
Crowe wanted to know the object of the
appraisement, and Mr. Nolan replied
that certain lots were desired for pur
chase by parties who had buildings
upon them. Mr. Crowe was favorable
to selling the lots actually desired, but
thought it would be unwise to appraise
he entire number of lots owned by the
city with the purpose in view of selling
them at auction. That it was generally
conceded we were on the eve of more
prosperous times, and that from now on
the lots would rapidly enhance in value.
Consequently as a business proposition
i the interests of the city would be better
served by holding them, rather than
selling at a low figure, at auction, to be
gobbled up by speculators. Mr. Nolan
took an opposite view of the case. He
said the city was not the proper party to
enter the field of speculation. It was
vastly better to dispose of the'lots to in
dividuals, who would then build
thereon, and pay a share of the taxes,
water rent, etc., and become citizens,
thus building up and supporting the
city, and contributing to the treasury.
Mr. Crowe held' to his original argu
ment. Mr. Saltmarshe, also, could not
see why it was advisable for the city to
sell its lots at this time. The motion
was then put and carried, and the ap
praisement will be made. Mr. Nolan
then moved that when the council ad
journ it adjourn to meet two weeks
hence, Tuesday, March 17th, and con
sider the report of the committee:
Carried. ,
Councilman Crowe next called the at
tention of the council to the fact that
the city's contract with the Electric
Light Co. had expired. This subject
was productive of varied observations,
resulting in no definite action being
taken. It was- recognized that. the ex
pense of lighting streets was the largest
of any other expense of the city. Sev
eral taxpayers had expressed the opinion
to Mr. Crowe that they should be dis
continued. Mr. Saltmarshe suggested
that the city might get a reduction.
Mr. Lauer thought this was possible,
considering that the expired, contract
waj made two years ago, since which
time every business had suffered a de
preciation of valnes. Other comments
were made by the gentlemen of the
council, but no motion was made.
Adjourned.
Is the A. O. V. W. a Fraternity or an
Insurance Company?
Ua:
I ten
During the panic- of 1894 we all re
member reading of the carloads of pro
visions and seed grain sent fr9m this
and other states into the( drouth-stricken
state of Nebraska. WLen the members
of the A. O. U. W. in the order at large
read of the suffering of the Nebraska
people, they thought at 'once of their
Drotners in .Nebraska. To think with a
Workman is to act, and contributions
began to pour into the Nebraska grand
lodge for relief of members of the A. O.
U. W. Oregon sent $560.85. Temple
lodge, The Dalles, sent $30. When the
contributions had ceased to pour in, the
grand lodge of Nebraska reported $29,
195.82. . Is this fraternity or insurance?
What insurance company would do this
for the people who furnish the money
for it to do business?
Fortified with friendship and charity,
the principle of protection is solved. A
Workman cannot suffer honest poverty
without alleviation. If his hand is par-
alized at its toil, he is maintained until
bis muscles grow strong, and'this does
not come in grudging charity ; it is bis
right. His wife and children are not
driven into the street to beg while he is
sick ; the dignity of his manhood is
spared such humiliation. In his old
age he is not driven to the almshouse;
he is a man to the last. He does not
die alone; brothers stand by in the
final hour, and 'half the bitterness of
death is forgotten in' the thought that
brothers will follow him to the grave,
that his widow will be cared for and his
orphans protected.
Is it any wonder that the order has
grown, and that today it 6tands the
largest and strongest fraternal beneficial
society in the world. The yellow fever
of the South, the grippe of the North,
and the panic of '94, have all beaten up
against this solid wall of living rock, and
when the clouds had rolled awav the
world witnessed the greatest spectacle
of the Nineteenth century an army of
350,000 men, banded together for mu
tual aid and protection. Alterum alle
riut auxilio eget. (The one needs the
assistance of the other.)
