Not to see our stoves undranges
before buying is a mistake. Mis
takes are always costly. In heat
ing stores we have the largest as
well as the most carefully selected
stock in the city. Hie stoves we
offer were not bought as an experi
ment but as a certainty. We
know what each stove will do, and
thev were bought for cash, so the
price is right. We have special
ties in heaters, beside our regular
lines of Garland, Argand and Su
!erior stoves and ranges.

A Salem View of It.
The Salem Capital Journal says :
County Clerk Babcock returned
this morning from Albany, where
he had been in consultation with
Judge Blackburn in relation to the
bridge across the Santiam at Jef
ferson. It appears that at the time
the Marion county court passed
the order making an appropriation
for the bridge the Linn county
court had adjourned for the term,
hence it becomes impossible to
take definite official action until
the April session. But this a ill
not prevent the taking of prelimin
ary steps which will leave nc cause
for delay if everything proves satis
factory. The county judge and
one of the commissioners oi Linn
are in favor of joining this county
with an appropriation of $K)00,
roviding th brdge can be budt
or the combined amount, $12,000.
To ascertain this it is thought best
to advertise for bids and when the
courts convene next month it will
then appear what can be done. In
accordance with this arrangement,
County Clerk Babcock has to-day
drawn op the necessary notices for
bids. The other commissioner of
Linn county is opposed to any ap-
ropriation for tbe bridge, but he
ives in the south end of the
county, and has no sympathy with
the movement. .

An Eastern Oregon Scene.
Riley Thompson relates having!
seen quite a discouraging sight
while coining down tho ( Miocothe
other day. A sdieep owner had
just began to harvest his cioj of
pelts and had disrobed the first
carcass. He Mood with pel. in
one hand and knife in the other,
surrounded by some ."ou carcasses,
as if contemplating which to begin
on next. Such a situation is, in
deed, disheartening, for the dead
sheep no doubt represented the
bard earnings of .he owner for
years. Oebiro Revh w.

BOARD OF TRADE OF MEETING.
j New Life Infused Into tbe Organization
Printing Committee Appointed.
A special meeting of the Albany
Board of Trade was held at the W".
C. T. U. hall last evening.
The meeting was called to order
by the president, S. E. Young.
Several enthusiastic speeches
were made, and a general desire
was shown to place the Board of
Trade upon an active working foot
ing. The secretary, Jay W. Blain,
read the constitution and by-laws
of the organization.
On motion it was ordered that
I dues amounting to $5 be collected
ftiv oil 1 mumknrc rwl t rt nil
new members pay $5 us an initia
tion fee.
T. L. Wallace was appointed to
fill the vacancy on the membership
committee caused by 'the removal
of Charles Monteith.
The following new names were
added to the list of members : Dr.
M. H. Ellis. J. V. Pipe, E. G.
Bcardsley, A. J. Anslyn and 10. 1).
Cusick.
The secretary was authorized to
appoint an assistant secretary and
to pay him for his services.
The following committee on
printing was appointed, with in
structions to report at the next
meeting: F. P. Nutting, T. L.
j Wallace, L. Viereck and J. R.
Whitney.
One or two members were in
clined to criticise the Oregonian
correspondent at Albany because
this city has not occupied a big
space in the Oregonian;s columns
after the fashion of Anacortes or
Pasco. They probably di I not re
alize what a lot of gall it was to
expect a local correspondent to
undertake the task of getting such
a volume of advertising matter
published free of charge. It cer
tainly was in bad taste for mem
bers of the board of trade, which
has done nothing for many months
toward advertising the city, to lay
the blame for the lack of such aa
vertising at the door of the news-
paper correspondent.
On motion the board adjourned
to meet on the first Monday in
April.
