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.

members of the church and many of
them have been members for a long
time, but they are out so far, that
only by means of a good car can he
ever reach them.
The pastors In Spokane are secur
ing these cars as rapidly as possible
to do their work even In a city, while
the country is neglected for want of
some way to get to the people. Mr.
Euster has secured the ear solely for
this purpose, making it an Investment
for the good of the cause.
Rev. W. T. Euster, pastor of the M.
E. church, returned last night from
his trip to Spokane, bringing with htm
the first Overland automobile for
Pendleton. The run was made from
Spokane by way of Colfax, Almonta,
Pomeroy, Dayton and Walla Walla,
and by measuring the speed with
miles run the record would be 1345
minutes or 22 hours from Spokane
to Pendleton barring all tire' cuts and
stops.
The car Is a 22-horse power car,
weighing only 1500 pounds, and hav
ing next to the lowest gasoline con
sumption records hi the United State.
It is a four-cylinder engine vertical,
water and air cooled, and all the con
trol Is by wheel and with the feet
There are no handle brakes, or chang.
ing from one speed to another ex
cepting by foot control.
The car has made 63 miles per
hour on level road. It has a record
for hill climbing on high gear. It
took all the hills and grades on the
route from Spokane including the
Snake river canyon and that of Pom
eroy. Dayton and Marengo,
Mr. Euster says that he can do four
tfmes the amount of work for the
church in a given amount of time as
he could without this. There are
many families living in various parts
of the country with whom neither
himself nor Mrs. Euster have ever
become acquainted with who are
LOCAL FREIGHT BUSINESS
EXCEEDINGLY HEAVY.
Du: ;ng the past week abojt SO cars
of freight each day have been hauled
off the Pendleton branch of the
Northern Pacific, says a Walla Walla
item. This statement was made this
morning by a local 'official, who added
that this condition would prabably
continue until after the entire wheat
crop had been shipped. In the past
few days the wheat on Eureka flat
has commenced to move, and that
branch of the X. P. is expected to do
an enormous business.
Freight business on the main line is,
also said to be heavy. Last week
about 1200 cars of freight were han
dled over the Pasco division each day,
and the equipment was taxed almost
to its full capacity In handling the
business.
The shipment of grain over the en
tire line is commencing to be heavy,
and prospects now are that the roads
ir this section will do a much large
business than last year.

Everybody knows Tom G. Mont

In Umatilla county, he has been ac

reached man's estate, being In the
grain business previous to becoming
a banker.
The conversion of the Savings bank
to a national bank will be appreciat
ed by Its customers, and speaks vol
umes for the progress and prosperity
of Pendleton and Umatilla county.
The change was made in record
breaking time. Only 10 days ago the
national bank examiner was in Pen-
dleton to examine the Savings bank
and report to the comptroller upon Its
application to become a national
bank.
That he found the bank In a most
excellent condition Is shown by the
prompt action by the Washington au
thorities upon the receipt of the ex.
amlner's report.

This forenoon Architect T. F. Kow
ard is at work on estimates for a new
building for W. H. Jones to replace
the burned Implement store. It Is
proposed to build the new structure
of reinforced concrete, concrete blocks
or brick, according to the compara
tive expense of the different materi
als. The building will be a block In
length and will occupy the same
ground as did the former building.
As soon as the architect completes
the estimates for the new building
Mr. Jones says he will prepare to
build, provided he makes a satlsfac
tory lease to the Implement company.
The action of the council In placing
his property within the fire limits Is
fully approved by Mr. Jones, who
snys there is too much valuable bus
Iness property within that block and
the one just east to allow further
frame buildings erected.

This afternoon the adjustment of

ed and it was found that the hotel

Five hundred head of fat cattle
were shipped out over the Northern
Pacific this afternoon to the Seattle
markets, Camas Prairie growers sup
plying this excellent Hhipment. Of
this number Henry Lnzinka furnished
200 head and James Jones 300 head,
the entire Shipment requiring 25 cars.
The cattle were fin e and It Is one of
the largest shipments made from the
county this season.
A branch house of E. H. Fltler St
Co., Philadelphia rope manufacturers,
Is to be established on the Pacific
coast, according to the statement of
William H. Fltler, who is registered
at the Hotel Portland, says a Port
land paper.
"I came west on a vacation trip,"
said he, "but have also been looking
for an opening. Our firm Is one of
the largest manufacturers of high-
grade rope In the world, and now
that business Is recovering from the
panic of last fall we intend to reach
out for further business from this ter
rltory.
"We import most of the hemp used
by our firm, although it Is possible
to utilize large quantities of the
southern-grown article, especially in
tarred ropes. Southern California Is
now experimenting In growing slsel
hemp, which is the quality most need
ed. I think your climate here would
be a little cold for that plant, and
it may not be successful In California.
It was tried in Florida, but a late
frost killed it Most of It now comes
from Mexico."

Where You Trade to Save.
WHEAT ILU'LLNG IS ON.
Walla Walla District Is Now Deliver
ing Its Crops.
Walla Walla is at present in the
midst of its annual wheat hauling sea
son and every day one can see six
horse teams with trailers going
through the streets to the warehouses
or to flour mills where the wheat Is
stored ready for selling, says a Walla
Walla Item.
The country roads are somewhat
dusty at present and that always
works a hardship on wheat hauling,
making It hard on the teams and al
so Is wearing on the wagons as the
dust grinds its way. Into the axles.
The cooler weather which has pre
vailed for the past day or so how
ever, has served to alleviate some of
the dust and as Indications point to
a general rain In the near future
wheat hauling will then be more extensive.
During the harvest season but little
wheat Is hauled, but as the season
advances and the threshing Is finish
ed nil attention U turned to getting
the wheat stored safely In the ware
house away from the rain and other
conditions that would tend to lessen
Its value in case It were not protected.
the last two years the combined total
increase has been $397,323,026. The
state tax levy is regarded as partlcu
, larly gratifying. It has been reduced
from 44 Vi cents on $100 to 40 cents.
The rate will be formally ratified at
a meeting of the state board In September.
California Is RIcIkt.
According to a report by the state
board of equalization made nubile to
day the assessment value of nil prop
erty In the state for the year 1908 is
$1,991,554,603, an increase over that
of last year of $112,893,668, says a
Sacramento Item.
Such an Increase In one year shows
that the assessed wealth of the state
is rapidly approaching tho two-bll-lion
mark. The showing Is regarded
as remarkable In view of the fact
that California Is Just emerging from
a period of financial Inactivity. In
