Clearance Sale of Bicycles
Is not in chewing the string, any more than the quoting of low prices is a proof
of a reduction in the cost of goods, to the consumer; but the quoting of prices has
proven two things conclusively
FIRST That the public read our advertisements.
SEDOND That they believe what they read.
If the public will continue the reading of these quotations they will find seme new things every few. days
i will surprise them, as all Winter Goods must be cleaned up preparatorj' to the great change we are going to
r iake in our numerous departments. REMEMBER that all goods previously quoted for this Clearance Sale re
main the same price until closed out or the sale is discontinued.

W. E. Niles, who was traveling freight
agent of the Union Pacific railroad, died
yesterday morning at 8 o'clock at St.

regret is felt by bis friends in this city
at bis sad demise. Mr. Niles was a

himself beloved by everyone who
chanced to meet ,him. Ever ready
with a cheery word for all, no visitor
was more generally . liked, and no
visits more eagerly looked forward to

A report from Manila says : "To fill 1
the vacancy caused by the promotion of
Major Cardwell, from the regimental
staff, an examination has been held to
select a eecoud assistant surgeon. Bros
sius, Littlefield and Anderson were the
three who went before the board, the
two former being hospital stewards, and
Dr. Anderson a member of the hospital
corps. Colonel Summers announced he
would recommend for appointment the.
one passing the highest examination.
No report of the board called by the
chief surgeon has been made yet, so the
victorious candidate cannot be named.
All three have done faithful work in the
hospitals. Dr. Littlefield has been in
the Cavite hospital ever since the regi
ment came to Manila." Two of -the
gentlemen mentioned for promotion are
known to Dalles people, Dr. Brosids of
Hood River and Dr. Littlefield. who is a
brother of Mrs. W. L. Bradshaw.
A dramatic critic in Denver has eent
us the following concerning the play
which will be presented. here next Mon
day night: "Last night the Tabor
Grand presented for the last time in
Denver a comedy drama success called
"On the Suwanee Rrver," before an
andience that completely filled ' the
theatre from top to bottom. The action
of the play being laid near the little
village of Suwanee in "Florida, and
binges on the Clayton family, one of the
oldest in the district. As for the plot
itself, one gets mixed up and wonders
what is coming next. There are so
many complications that arise from
time to time that lead one to believe
that the play was strictly melodramatic,
but such ia not the case. It is full of
love and pathos, intermingled with
bright comedy that cannot but make the
piay a Dig success wntrever it is pre
sented, ine scenery is superb and the
play is mounted in an excellent manner.
The singing . of the colored quartet is
one of the special features in this D re
dact ion, and it is only right to say that
tney were given a nearly welcome by the
audience, encores being very frequent."

counties in which the institutions are
located. He favors tbe appointing of a
committee to confer . with a like body
from the state of Washington, relative
to tbe salmon industry. ' '" Also proposed
two more judges of the supreme court. .'
