GROCERIES ARE AN ABSOLUTE
necessity to every human being.
From the day you enter the world
until the dav 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 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.

Big Meeting of Commercial Men Is
Planned to Close Week's Festlvl

From present appearances every
day of the district fair will be a fea
ture day and it will be impossible to
tell In advance which will carry off
the banner.
It has been generally conceded all
along that the two big days would be
Wednesday, political day and Thurs
day, Oregon day, but since the an
nouncement that the traveling men
would be in charge Saturday, the last
day of the fair, things have taken on
a different appearance and it would
seem that there will be plenty of en
tertainment and excitement right up
to the last minute. The traveling
men have entered into the spirit of
the occasion to have an excursion
train run up from Portland on that
day. If that effort fails a special
car will be attached to train No. 6 to
bring up members of the commercial
fraternity who happened to be In the
western part of the state.
The following In this connection Is
taken from the Portland Oregonlan:

DISAPPEARANCE MISTIFIES
SAX FIIAXCISCO POLICE
San Francisco, Sept. 19. Mystery
enveloos the dlsappeparance of three
San Franciscans who have dropped
from sight within the last few days.
No clue was left by any of the men
and no reason can be given in either
instance. Friends declare that they
must have fallen Into the hands of
a gang of thugs operating In this city
which is believed to make away with
Its victims. The missing men are
Edward Craig, aged 45, formerly n
clerk In the offices of the North
western Pacific railroad who disap
peared September 10, leaving his
wife and family destitute. Craig's
accounts were absolutely straight and
he was a mdn of good habits. His
disappearance followed Immediately
after he had drawn his full month's
pay. The other missing men are
Ktnll Graser and Frank Gott. The
police are completely baffled but are
worklns on the murder theory.
NNA HELD IS MOTHER
OF BEAUTIFUL GIRL
New York, Sept. 19. That a wo
man can keep a secret especially If
It reflects on her age, was proven t
day when It was announced that Anna
Held, dainty, petite, French Anna
whose naive invitation, "Won't you
play wiz me," is still remembered, Is
a mother.
More than that, the daughter it Is
a girl is 13 years of age and gives
promise of being as great a beauty as
her famous mother. The existence of
the child had long been kept a secret
by Florence Ziegfleld, Jr., the actress'
husband and manager, and the girl
was kept by a French maid In Paris
during her mother's absence. Shis
was brought over from Paris several
weeks ago.
AUTO TIRE EXPLODES
DISFIGURES PARAGUAYAN
Snn Francisco, Sept. 19. With his
nose shattered and badly cut about
the face, P. J. Vnnloben Sols, a son
of the Paraguayan consul In San
Francisco lies at the consular resi
dence In this city suffering from In
juries received from the explosion of
an automobile tire.
Vanloben Sels Is a well known club
man and a picturesque figure about
town. He is an automobile enthusiast
and an expert with the machine. The
explosion which occurred as he was
removing a tire from his machine,
will probably disfigure him for life.
Wheat Bring Wealth.
Tacoma, Sept. 19. Although this
year's production of wheat In Wash
ington Is less than last, the price Is
better. Farmers will receive about
$23,000,000 for this year's 29,700,600
bushels at the average price of 77
cents. Last year's price was 66 cents
per bushel.

City Enjoying Greatest Activity In
Building for Many Months New
Public Buildings, Business Houses
and Residences In Course of Con
struction and In ProHect Im
provement General und Air of Pros
Ierlly Prevails.
Pendleton Is Just now In the midst
of one of the most extensive building
and improvement eras the city has en-
Joyed for many months. The total
value of the buildings now In courso
of construction would amount to
many thousands of dollars, while sev
eral thousand dollars worth of Im
provements are also being made.
Chief among the new buildings U
the new city hall which Is to cost in
the neighborhood of $40,000, and
which la Just now ready for the plas
terers. The big concrete and concrete block
building being erected on Johnson
street by Walter McCormmach, and
which is to be the home of the Pen
dleton Auto company, will also soon

ed on the $70,000 federal building and
the $8500 concrete building which
William Jones Is to erect for the Wil
cox Implement company on the site
of the wooden structure recently de
stroyed by fire.
A large number of residences are
also being erected in different parts
of tho city, no section seeming to have
an advantage over any other In this
particular. A pleasing feature of the
residence building also Is the fact that
they are all expensive and modern,
no common or cheap buildings being
In the number.
T. J. Morris recently moved his
family into the handsome residence
erected for him by A. D. Sloan on the
north side, while Dr. G. S. Hoislngton
is now occupying a new building on
South Main sttu'et which. Is one of the

One of the finest homes built this
summer is the one into which Mr. and
Mrs. C. S. Torpennlng are now mov
ing. It was erected by them on West
Tustin street and Is built principally
of stone and concrete blocks. It Is a
two-story structure and presents a
beautiful and imposing appearance.
In east Pendleton, work Is being
rushed on the bungalo of Dr. and Mrs.
D. C. McNabh. The rectory for the
Church of the Redeemer Is also well
under way. When completed this
building will provide an elegant home
for the pastor of that church.
Among the, latest cottages to be
started, but which will be ready for
occupancy In a few weeks is the one
being built by H. H. Nolen of the
Troy laundry. This cottage Is on the
north hill near tho Mrs. Sturgis res

to the large number of fine homes In
that part of the city.
In addition to the new buildings be
ing erected, several old ones are being
remodeled, the paint brush Is being
applied In every part of the city, con
crete walks and stone walls are being
constructed and a general air of
prosperity prevails.

no matches, no smell, no danger and
no dirty work. All one has to do is
to push a button or pull a string and
you have "daylight." He also says

FREAK TAX SCHEMES
OF BRITISH CRANKS.
London, Sept. 19. For the purpose
of Increasing tho public revenue, a
proposition is being considered in
F.ngland to levy a tax on all sales of
theater tickets. Another suggestion Is
that of pasting a revenue stamp over
the shoot end of all sporting cart
ridges. As 70.000,000 of these are
used every year It was reckoned that
the national resources would benefit
by $1,400,000 through such a stamp.
In 1695 a tax of two shillings had
to be paid by the parents of every
"little stranger'" born In England, ex
cept by people In receipt of alms. Cu
riously enough a measure proposing
a tax on babies was Introduced some
time ago In the local parliament of
the German princedom of Reuss, by
which It was proposed that the pa
rents or mother, when registering the
birth of a child, should In each case
contribute a sum amounting to 10
cints. Some time ago a good deal of
merriment was aroused by a measure
Introduced by the legislature of New
Jersey by which It was proposed to
tax beards, but even this Is not an
original proposal. Queen Elizabeth
put a tax on every beard of a fort
night's growth, while a couple of cen
turies ago Peter the Groat Insisted
that all nobles who wore beards
should pay 100 roubles for the priv
ilege. As chancellor of the English ex
chequer Pitt rendered himself very
unpopular by the extraordinary means
to which he resorted In order to Im
prove the state of tho country's ex
chequer. He It was who first Intro
duced the Income tax, hnd he also
levied a tax upon horses, which caus
ed a certain farmer to use a cow for
the purpose of riding to and from
market.
Even more dissatisfaction, however,
was caused by Pitt's Increase of tho
window tax, first Imposed In the year
that the tax on babies was enforced.
This window tax caused property
owners to wall up as many windows
as possible, In order to reduce the
amount for which they were liable.
SOCIALIST AUTHOR

A change has been made In the so
cialist speakers for political day of the
