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
grocdy store. You have to eat to keep
alive. Among the earliest lessons taught
in life is a regard for your diet, by select
ing onlv 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.

GOOD I FOR
DISTRICT FI
CO.MMEIJCLAL ASSOCIATION
PLANS MUCH ASSISTANCE.
Committees Named to Conduct Pa
ratle, Decorate Streets and to Urge
Livestock Dlsjday Fraternal Soci
eties Asked to Participate In Pa
rade. Practically all of hist night's Com
mercial association meeting was de
voted to district fair boosting and if
all the things that were started are
carried out some good will be ac
complished. At the request of President Alexan
der C. E. Roosevelt, head of the fair
commission.- made a talk regarding
the fair and suggested some things
that might be done. He told of the
manner in which the fair Is being en
larged this year and predicted a suc
cessful attendance.
The subject of having the fraternal
societies of the city participate In a
parade was brought up and the chair
appointed a joint committee to take
the matter up with the different or
ders. The committee as named Is as
follows: E. B. Aldrich, Knights of
Pythias; T. J. Tweedy, Odd Fellows;
C. J. Ferguson, Elks; Jack Huston,
Eagles; Dr. Idleman, Woodmen, and
John Kees, Maccabees.
A committee composed of Dr. C, J.
Smith, J. P. Winter and A. J. Good
man was named to have charge of
street decorations for the fair.
McClure Talked Straight.
Dr. S. W. McClure, of the bureau
of animal industry, was called upon
tc talk and he had some pointed
things to say regarding the livestock
exhibit at the fair. He declared that
this part of the fair was not what It
should be considering the fact that
Umatilla and Morrow counties are
great livestock districts. While he
praised the Minor herd of Shorthorns
he declared the rest of the exhibit
was "miserable." According to Dr.
McClure, there are many large sheep
and cattle breeders who sell stock to
Umatilla and Morrow county growers.
These men have their flocks and
herds on exhibit at other fairs and
he asked If they could not be brought
here likewise.
Though he declined to serve aa a
member of a committee, Dr. McClure
promised to give any aid possible in
li.ilucing breeders to make displays
here. The chair appointed the doc
tor and Dr. C. J. Smith, T. T. Geer
and W. F. Matlock as a committee to
Investigate the subject.

Rev. and Mrs. Quinney Give Up Farm
Life in PesjMilr.
Rev. Charles Quinney and wife have
moved Into the old Episcopal rectory
now at the corner of Alta and Thomp
son streets and they will now have
their home there until the new rec
tory is completed.
For some time past Mr. and Mrs.
Quinney have been living on the
Xorbourn Berkeley place on Thomp
son street, but the rector says he fears
he Is not a success as a farmer.
O. O. Gooch, a timber cruiser of
Portland, went before the county
commissioners this morning with a
proposition to cruise all the timber
land in this county. He offered to
do the work for a consideration of
$1500 per township or $10 a day.
In support of his offer Gooch set
forth that at present the timber land
assessments are often unjust, some
times to the county and sometimes to
the owners. He asserts that the best
class of timber land Is assessed too
low, while other claims are assessed
at entirely too high a figure.
But Gooch'a argument had little
effect upon the court and his prop
osition was rejected.
In explanation of the court's atti
tude Commissioner Walker says that
at present the timber land In the best
township of the county is assessed at
$2000 per claim. This figure he and
his colleagues believe Is sufficiently
high in view of the distance of the
land from the railroad.
As to the argument that some tlm
ber claims are now assessed too high
the court took the stand that If such
Is the case the owners should appear
before equalization board and have
their assessments reduced If possible.
The county commissioners began
this morning upon their September
term and ail three members are in
attendance.

School Children's
EYES
A very large number of children attending the schools are In
immediate need of glasses and yet are unaware of it.
EDUCATION depends largely on the use of the eyes. If these
are deficient then the chief basis of learning Is hampered.
OUR optician will give conscientious advice and recommend
the use of glasses only where It will considerably benefit the
child's vision.

very sick at the high altitude.
When the balloon was above Ni
agara Falls, it was practically with
out ballast and was dipping danger
ously close to the ground. A storm
was blowing up, and Captain Mueller
decided to make a landing. He tried
to release the gas with the rip cord,
but it failed to work properly, with
the result that the bag dragged along
for 1000 feet. An anchor which was
thrown out in a clump of trees and
snapped from the balloon, which rose
and fell alternately, severely Jolting
the occupants of the car.
Lands 200 Feet From Gorgo.
The basket dragged over railroad
tracks, struck a barn and finally
landed at Hevils Hole, 210 feet from

At the sixth annual congress of the
American Apple Growers' association,
held lust week at St. Louis, the pre
diction was made by officers and del
egates that, owing to the injury to
the crop by spring frosts, apples will
this year sell at $2.50 to $3 a barrel
on the trees, and that before the sea
son closes they will be selling at from
$7 to $10 a barrel for choice ones.
More than 100 prominent growers
from the central and western states
were present at the meeting.
Em I inn to of Oregon Crop.
A San Francisco Item says of the
potato crop and market of Oregon;
According to reports Just received
from Oregon, the early crop of po
tatoes Is expected to be very light.
Dealers think that the crop will be
even shorter than the growers antic
ipate. While the acreage Is consid
erably larger than last year, the yield
per acre Is likely to show great In
jury on account of drought. In some
places nearly 50 per cent of the crop
U undersized and unmarketable and
It will probably be several weeks he
fore there will be any large offerings
for shipment.
News of the Fighters.
San Francisco, Sept. 2. Battling
Nelson Is now quoted at a 10 to 8 fa
vorlte over Joe Gans In the coming
battle for the lightweight Champion
ship. .
However, Gans is sure that he can
"come back" and win.
The dusky fighter is today taking
things easy, preparing for his flna
v. eek's training.
A little run In the morning, and a
few rounds with some of the sparring
partners Is the extent of his work and
Benny Sellg, his manager, says that
that Is all he needs.
The Dane is going at It hammer
ami tongs ana says that he win go
right after Gans from the sound of
the gong and put him out of the garni
forever. He did a little road work
today for the first time in three
days.
Sunday the road work will be elim
inated and the rest of the time before
the fight spent in light gymnasium
work.
rseison is a lu to s ravorite over
Gans, and It Is probable from the way
the money has been wagered that
these odds will prevail. If there Is
any change It will favor Nelson.
The sale of seats for both tho Labo
day fight and the Admission day
fight opens tomorrow.
Ave Attell moved up a notch today
in the betting odds for his fight with
Owen Morgan, the English feather
weight champion, and Is quoted at 10
to 7.
Moran, however. Is working hard.
He has had but little trouble In mak
ing his weight this time and this Is
taken as a hopeful sign by his train
ers. Owen Is working harder than
Attell. The American champion Is
gclng it easy. Moran, like Ketchel
I'? a glutton for work and will give
Attell the fight of his life to retain
the championship. The fans here all
believe that If the fight were not lim
Ited the Englishman could get away
with the belt, as he is more rugged
than Attell.
Abe today cut out his road work
and is devoting himself to light work
at Gins' gymnasium at Croll's Gar
dens. Abe Is the favorite and he cer
tainly has exhibited some clever work
In his bouts with tho dusky light
weight. The wagering of some Moran money
has kept the odds at 10 to 9, with
Attell on the long end, and It Is likely
that they will be kept at this notch
until the gong sounds.
