Bargains always bring results. That has been our experience.
What we propose now is a bargain sale which shall be general
throughout our store. The cream of the season's goods are here
at prices way below the ordinary, and if quality is the test of
cheapness you'll surely find these goods cheap. Our store is very
interesting just now and very busy. But it will be busier later
on. The most leisurely, comfortable holiday shopping is to be
done right now.

to be incorporated andits charter will
contain a provision providing for the
protection of surf bathers. The marshal
will be empowered to fix the hours dar
ing which earf-batning will be allowed,
according to the tides, and a provision
will also be made for the maintenance
of life lines and other life-saving ap
pliances. This is as it should be. So
numerous have the accidents at the sea
side become that many do not dare to
venture in the surf, and those who do
are so filled with thoughts of the . fate of
others that the pastime is robbed of its
pleasure. The many residents of The
Dalles who frequent this favorite- resort
will be pleased to learn of this movement
in the right direction.
Yesterday at high noon in the Uni
tarian church in Portland occurred the
wedding of Mr. F. B Sommerville, of
Hay Creek, and Miss Laura B. Knowles,
of Portland. The bride and groom ar
rived in the city last evening on the 5:30
train, and aboat 10 o'clock this morning
left by private conveyance for their fu
ture home at Hay Creek. Mr. Sommer
ville.who has been manager of .the Bald
win Sheep and Land Co.'e store for a
number of years, is a young man of ex
cellent character and attainments ; while
the bride, who is the daughter of C. W.
Knowles, of Portland, is charming in
every sense of the word and admired by
all her acquaintances. They left for
their new home followed by the good
wishes of all their friends, which are
legion.
The Oregon lan is credibly informed by
local representatives of California buy
ers of prunes in Oregon that their prod
uct is ehipDed under labels bearing the
name Oregon, and not California, as has
been frequently changed. We conclude,
therefore, that the practice of selling
Oregon prunes as California prunes is
not as general as has been supposed, or
perhaps as general as it once was. Large
quantities of these prunes have gone to
the Eastern states this year, and even
in Europe, and the expectation is that
these preliminary sales may form the be
ginning of a lucrative trade. It is to
be hoped the day is not distant when the
Oregon prunes will be manufactured in
to finished product in Oregon, instead
of being first shipped to California.

The leading question now is, "Are we
to have Christmas this year?" In other
words, "Will Monday, the 26th, be ob
served as a holiday?" From all we can
gather by inquiry the general opinion is
that it should be, for surely we must
have a Christmas day, and Sunday can
not necessarily be observed as such. Not
that it is not an appropriate day for the
Christmas festival, but the usual Sab
bath exercises will prevent it being ob
served as it always is by family gather
ings, trees for the children, etc. Of
course we must have Monday.

Some of the residents on the hill this
morning found themselves without water
for domestic purposes, and the reports
which began to fly around promiscuously
as to the length of time which would
elapse before it would again be turned
on caused quite a sensation. The truth
of the matter was that the workmen on
the nra'ns bad been compelled to cat the
pipe and put in a temporary gate just
above Ninth street, which was the
cause.
Later in the morning it became neces
sary to close the main gate at the
reservoir on account of difficulty with a
gate on the alley between Fifth and
Sixth streets, which leaked and pre
vented work on the pipes. It was in
tensely amusing to watch the proceed
ings for about an hour and a half over
the city, as, armed with a kettle of boil
ing water, and with blood also boiling
for fear of a plumber's bill, one after
another started to thaw out the pipes
at the same time ejaculating, ''Didn't
I tell you to let this water run? Now its
frozen !" But in vain did the hot' water
fall on its back, for the streams had as
little effect as water on a duck's back.
Inquiry has developed the fact that
the water on Union, between Seventh
and Tenth will be shut off for three
days, when the cup of cold water will
have -to be borrowed from neighbors.
Those above Ninth will be supplied from
the large reservoir by main? extending
east on Tenth and west on the alley be
tween Ninth and Tenth, while all below
Seventh will get their supply from the
small reservoir.
Arrangements have been so made that
at no time will the city be without
water, unless it might be for a very
short time on account of some unfor
seen cause. The contractor is doing his
best in the matter and we should not
complain if we are inconvenienced slight
ly, when we remember that it is un
avoidable and the great good that will
come to the city by the renewed supply.
It was most interesting this morning
to watch the work as it progressed on
Union street, where here and there were
seen fires built along the trenches in
order to melt the lead so that the old
pipes might be removed and the new
ones put in, three of which it requires
four horses to haul.
