This is an opportunity no economi
cal purchaser can aflbr.'l to pass. A
inonionls thought considering the posi
tive increase in the cost of all goods, the
assortment wo carry, and the- fact wo

convince an' one that a reduction on
the present low prices is an offer
which cannot reasonably bo expected
again.

price for the present month, and those of

A large number of Dalles people miglit
have justly been numbered last night
with the foolish virgins, who had no oil
in their luuipe, and consequently found
themselves in the dark when the light
failed. Tho trouble aroee from tho fact
that ono boiler had to be used and euouch
power could not ho generated to supply
tho entire city. Many haye made the
complaint that the company should have
informed tho people that euch would be
the case. While we have not beon able
to lenrn the particulars from the
manugors of the company, as they are so
occupied in making preparations for to
night, we feel sure had thev known that
such an emergency would have uiigen
they would have informed the people
through the papers.
As it was, many plans for tho evening
were overthrown, Etores were
early that w hat power could bo generated
might bo used in lighting tho residences,
and many sat in darkness or went back
to tho old tallow candle uud lamp. Such
occurrences only prove to us what an ad
vantage electricity is in that line and
how lost we would ho without electric
lights.
We are informed that the lights will
bo turned on tonight ; that is unless some
uuforaeen complication arises.

Contrary to expectations, tho meeting
of the council last night was not "eo
warm," although it was evident that of
' necessity a council ia made up of many
men of many minds. However, upon
the question of refunding of bonds they
scorned to bo a unit. Mayor Kuck
Councilmen Olongh, Gunning, Johnson
Shackelford, Kelly, Stephens and Wil
son wore present, also a delegation from
tho water commission, who riqueete
that the council pass an ordinance pro
viding for refunding $25,000 worth of
water bonds. The mayor stated that a
an ordinance had already been pureed a
the last meeting providing for refunding
$20,000, it would he mcessary to recon
sider that ordinance. The council did
not seem to be overly enthusiastic ove
the matter, nor did they arise en masse
to move that tho question be recon
sidered. In fact each sat silent, and
nothing was left to bo dono but to let
the matter drop.
The next order of business was to
maka an estimate as to the cost of con
structing thu proposed sewer system
wnen it was determined that tno ex
pense would be about $30,000 to coin
plete tho system below the bluff". On
the sewer question the council seems to
be divided, some for, others against its
construction. At the close of the meet
ing, however, the council was divided
into three committees, of three mem
btrs each, who are to thoroughly can
vass the matter and determine what
property is to be benefited thereby and
equalize the assessment on the same.
A splendid suggestion was made by
Councilman Wilson to the effect that
after assessment bad been equalized and
ttie amount of taxes on tne various
property determined, a etatement of the
same be sent to each property owner
with a request that an opinion or vote
be given- concerning the advisability of
constructing the same. In this manner
the council onld work to better ad
vantage, with a full understanding of tho
wishes of the majority. It should be
added, however, that each citizen Ehould
thoroughly understand the matter and
look at the question unselfishly, voting
as seerneth best for the welfare of the
city. If this can be done, then the plan
is a good one.
