Our Mid-Summer Sale
WILL SOON BE HERE in full force. Just one
month earlier than usual.
We started with an $8.95 Suit Sale, which now develops
into a gonoral clearance a full-fledged bargain event. Not
through any special effort on our part; not through unusual ad
vertising. It seems as though each customer told a dozen oth
ers, and so the salo has grown to a Christmas crowd looking
for July bargains. Rest assured there shall bo no disap
pointment. The most pronounced hargain fiend shall be more
than satisfied. It has come to us unsolicited, and we shall ac
cept it with good grace.

' A change took place In the manage
Anont of JJIakoloy & Houghton's drug
store on the first of this inoeth, V. L,
Houghton having sold his interest to
J. Jilakeley, wno is now sole owner.
These gentlemen have been connected
in the drug business for over ten years,
nnd have conducted one of the most
popular places of business In the city.
Ho fur us wo have learned Mr. Houghton
hus no Intentlou of leaving The Dalles.
While tho partnership wus a p1casuit
one, enjoyed by both proprietors and
patrons, wo bespeak for Mr. Ulakeley
the same neutrons patronage they have
always held.
The professors and former pupils of

a mass meeting of all former students in

one of tho most enjoyable ttflairs imagin
able. This college has for years been
dome n splendid work in educating
Oregon's young people, and a meeting of
this kind will be greatly appreciated by
those who love their nlina mater and
those connected therewith.

In another column we publish our
now mayor's message, which is truly
interesting reading to those who have
the good of the city at heart. True to tho
principles under which ho was elected,
tho tone of . the message indicates that
those who houored him witbanoflico
which was not sought by him, have
made no mistake in their choice. Mayor
Dufur evidently intends to use in the
city ull'airs tho same good common sense
for which ho line always been noted,
Almost a week bus passed and still
Mrs. Spink and family await further
news concerning tho drowning of her
only son, Uobert J3. Kintoul, In the
Snake river on tho 27th. Tho merest
news of his death was received and as
yet no word as to the finding of the
body has boen heard. JIo leaveti a wife
and two children. The suspense is ter
rible to those who mourn his untimely
loss and they have tho sympathy of all.
Among tho passengers on tho ex
cursion boat tills morning was Mr.
Hugh Gotirlay, editor of Tin: CmtoNiou:,
who, having laid aside his editorial
mantle, will dou his bathing suit and
piddle in tho waters of tho Pacific (or
tho next fortnight. Having aleo loft
tho official pencil and scissors behind,
ho evidently has no Intention of favor
ing our readers with poetic effusions
on "old ocean," but will confine his
writing to the burning Binds. His
"summer gill" (who, by the way is alBo
his winter giil ) will meet him in AEloria,
where they will enjoy the celebration
and he will return with her to their
cottage at Ocean Park.
While to is casual observer Dalles peo
ple do not seem to be in an overly pa
triotic, mood this year, yet when we con
sider the number of miles many of them
are traveling for the privilege of pulling
tho eagle's tail, one must neces
sarl'y change his mind on the subject.
However, while the city will be almost
deserted, we should at least leave a re
minder of the day behind in tho form
of decorations on our homes and busi
ness houses.

to attend tho Salvation trmv
and

hitched their horso just back of
Cuurlay'd residence on thoblnH'.
returning Mis. Kelley and the two little
ones got In the wagon, when the horse
became frightened and tarted to kick.
In some manner the children were got
ten out before the atinial tore up the
road and around tho corner toward L,
13. Crowe's leeideneewith Mrs. Kelley
holding on to tho front eeat, tho back
pseat having fallen' out. Tho horse
turned and ran upover the rocky road
In front of Crowe's and dually was
stopped in the aley near H-jbt. Mays'.'
Frightened almost to death, Mrs. Kelley
fainted away ajd was some little tlmoin
com i lie to; lktit fortunately no perma
nent injury wis done, as teemed inevit

neat ehurih edifice added to tho list of
which she Is already justly proud, and
next Monday morning workmen will!
begin tearing down tho building which'
has for tho past six years served thd
purpose of a place of worship for thoi
uiembeis of tho Calvary liaptlst church,
preparatory to the erection of a new
church. While tho present iiaiters
have been tilted tip neatly and scived
their purpose well up till the present,
theyaio certainly not adequate to the
requirements of the growing congrega
tion, liesldo this, (he building has not
been an ornament to that portion of the
city, and not only tho members of that
chinch but all will be pleased to learn
that a bulldiug will bo erected which
will greatly improve this street which Is
used so continuously. For that reason
alone, laying aside tho broader and
more deserving one, they should receive
tho assistance of tho entire community
I.. .!...!
The Kxrirloii.
Save for the absence of lire crackers
and lemonade stands, one might have
thought tho Fourth was already here
and the D. 1. t A. X. deck the scene of
a celebration this morning. A .goodly
number bad gathered to see the ex
cursionists Eet sail for Astoria, while as
many more were boarding the Dalles
City, which, with the Keliance, were
lined up awaiting their cargo. Had the
number of excursionists not been a
euflicicnt load for the Dalles City, it was
tho intention to' let her carry tho lie
liance passengers, or in case she was
overcrowded, the latter would come to
her assistance ; but when all was told,
171 were found to be boui.d for Astoria,
nnd-all was in shape.
As they started out, to the music of
the D. C. A A. C. band, tho little Re
liance seemed to have a slight difficulty
in moving oil', so that the Dalles City
was quite a ways ahead ; but soon show
ing that she meant business, the little
craft gained on her, and when they
turned Crate's Point they were almost
abreast, although the larger boat still
took the lead.
It is the intention to reach Portland
at 2:l!0, but as excursion'sts will 'bo
taken on down the liver, undoubtedly
it will be later in arriving. Remaining
in Portland a few hours, they will tako
tho train for Astoria anil reach there
about 10:110 tonight. Returning on the
5th, they will get Into Portland in lime
to tako the boat that morning, arriving
hero in the evening.
