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.

Ringing of the Curfew tu 8:30 Each
Evening Will Be Stopped as th
Sound of the Fire Bell Frightens
All Except Small Boys fur Whom It
Is Intended Cost Will Be Added
to Street Improvenent Liens Where
Collection Is Made by City Attor
ney.
At the meeting or the city council
last night the city attorney was In-
structed to proceed at once to fore
close all outstanding liens for street
work. There Is now In the neighbor
hood of 11000 due the city for street
assessments. One paving assessment
Is still due while the remainder Is for
the macadamizing work on Franklin,
East Court and West Alta streets.
"I am now preparing to bring suit
against all who have not paid their
assessments," said City Attorney Ra
ley this morning. "Those who do not
pay their assessments now will be sued
and they will have to pay the costs
of foreclosing as well as the amount
of the assessments." .
Fire limits Extended.
At the meeting last night the fire
limit was extended to include the
block burned last, week, the ringing
of the curfew was abolished and con
iderable routine business transacted.
Owing to the absence of the elec
tric lights the meeting last night was
a sombre assembly for the lights wer
of the primitive order. However, the
mayor and six councllmen were on
hand and the deliberations did not
seem to be greatly affected by the
darkness.
That the ordinance extending the
fire limits would be brought up was
known In advance and the passage ot
the measure caused no surprise. As
a result of the ordinance those who
rebuild In the burned block will have
to erect buildings of brick or con
crete.
It was Councilman Stroble who eb
jected to the ringing of the curfew
and he declared that at present the
sounding of the fir.e gong frightens
everyone excepting the small boys, for
whom Its' terror Is Intended. For the
ptesent at least, the curfew will be
omitted, though small boys will still
be required to go homeward when It
becomes dark.
tpon the recommendation of the
fire committee It was decided to buy
an extension ladder for the fire de
partment and the sum of $50 wa
voted to pay the expenses of Fire
Chief Vaughan to the firemen's con.
ventlon to be held at Vancouver.

New Service Uniforms Are Now Worn

Olive Drab and Will Tie Issued to
Oregon GuardMiien. Soon New Col
or Is Much Preferred by the Men,
Returning from the maneuver
grounds at American Lake two bat
talions of the Idaho national guard
passed through here this morning.
They are traveling by special train
and it stopped here for a half hour
or longer while the men swarmed
about the city, many of them taking
breakfast In the city.
The Idaho regiment has just fin
tshed 10 days of work at American
lake and the officers and men all de
dare they enjoyed the ' maneuvers
greatly. The regiment was camped
on the same ground where the Ore
gon regiments camped.
Other gardsmen at the lake at the
same time were the Montana and
Dakota regiments, each with It com
panles. The Idaho regiment also had
three battalions, the other battalion
being from the north end of the
state and therefore required to go
home over the Northern Pacific.
The Idaho regiment has already re
ceived the olive drab service uniform
which Is shortly to be Issued to all
the guard regiments of the. United
States. However they received them
too latte to have them Issued In time
for the encampmetn.
It Is known that the Oregon regl
ments will be given the drab uniform
shortly and when they are received
the guardsmen will then be fully
equipped with the same arms and
clothing as the regulars and they will
be In shape to take the field any time
they might be called 'out
At the present time, the khaki con
stitutes the service uniform for the
enlisted men and It Is considered good
only during warm weather. If call
ed out In the winter time the guards
men not supplied with the drab uni
form would have to wear the blue,
which Is not good for service.

Last year the shipments were not so

believed by many of the 20,000 fol
lowers of harness racing who saw the
contest, to establish a new era In the
history of the sport and Insure its
rejuvinatlon in this country.
The race was novel in its condl'
tions, which placed the horses a.
marks one-fourth to three-eights of
a mile behind the usual starting point
on a handicap based on their previous
performances and at the conclusion
it appeared to be the general opinion
of all who saw the two preliminary
heats and the grand finals that this
system of racing would be popular In
the future.
It was the first race in which Allen
Winter had trotted this year and Lou
McDonald, his driver, sized up the
field In the two preliminary heats. In
the first he watched 16 horses placed
at marks from 1320 to 1370 feet be
hind the usuul starting line sweep
once and a quarter round the track
to a grand finish with Bervaldo In the
lead.
In the second heat with his own
horse 1570 feet from the .wire and
6870 feet to travel, he pushed Allen
Winter carefully but surely past three
other horses and kept ahead of the
others, finishing a good, third.
The first heat had been run off at
a 2:08 gait for the mile, but the sec-"
ond was a few seconds slower. Thei
