GROCERIES ARE AN ABSOLUTE
necessity to every human being.
From the day you enter the world
until the day you leave it you have
to patronize, directly or indirectly, some
grocery store. You have to eat to keep
alive. Among the earliest lessons taught
in life is a regard for your diet, by select
ing only fresh and wholesome food, and a
regard for your purse by practicing the well
established rules of economy. We can sell
you fresher and better goods and more of
them for cash than you can buy elsewhere
on open account. Look over our stock,
get our prices, and be convinced.

FINE MOUNTAIN RESORTS.
Weston Mountain in Favor With
Many Summer Campers.
There are some good resorts in the
Blue mountains aside from Meacham,
Wenaha, Lehman, Hldaway and those
places about which people hear most
often. In the mountains back of
Weston there are several camp colo
nies and the people there enjoy them
selves as much as do those who are
spending the hot days at the regular
"resorts."
At the Cold Spring camp, McDou-
gall's camp and the Toll Gate scores
of Weston, Athena, Walla Walla and
Pendleton people are camping this
summer. At Cold Springs a dancing
pavilion was constructed this sum
mer and a dance Is given each Satur
day night. For good summer enoy
ment they have no better dances any
where.
At this time grouse hunting is good
in the mountains and many hunters
go back into the wilds to hunt for a
few days. Few return empty handed.
An Incident of Interest to the camp
ers yesterday was the presence in the
mountains of Breen, the Walla WalU
convict, who was taken out for one
more chance to locate lost Cecil Brit
tin. Among the campers there was
the feeling that Breen la a faker and
that nothlne would come from his
"search."

The Nes Perce Indians are greatly
exercised over reports that have been
In circulation and have gained wide
credence, that the Indian forests are
to be opened for settlement and that
in some cases filings have been ac
cpted, says the Spokesman-Review.
How these reports arose is a mys
tery, but the Indians, always sus
picious, believe fully that the govern
ment Intends totake away their tim
ber lands.
It Is said that many of the Indians
are to hold a tribal conference and
that the long-haired, blanket reds are
clamoring that the matter be taken
up at once.
The Indian department recently
turned the administration of these
forests over to the forestry depart
ment and surveyors have been making
plats for the department - and It Is
probable that the rumor started from
this.
Filings have been offered on these
lands by white people who have heard
the report, but all have been rejected,
and because of this some Lewlston at
torneys have started a fight to open
the lands.
The result will, It Is believed, be a
failure, for the forests are given to
the Indians by treaty and only a
supplemental treaty, ratified by con-
