Tbe simple fact is, which fact the
conntry is entitled to know, tbat enor
mous sums from tbe banks of Portland
have been paid on wheat and lumber and
other bills; and the products have been
shipped away, yet tbe money not return
ed. It will come, but the return will re-
r-jquire a little time. Checks or drafts
are not money, but will bring money af
ter a littl; "or the pillared firmnaent is
rottenness and earth's base built on

who bas leased the room just vacated by
Mrs. Maxfield-Bucbanan's millinery on
Main street, and the stock it now to te
found at this place. Persons in need of
electrical fixtures of any tort will do well
to remember tbe change.
The sawmill of tbe Dillai Lumber
Company bas been shut down indefinite

the timber. The Willamette Valley
Lumber Company's big mi!l ia running
only a part of the time with a short crew
and the mill of the Falls City Lumber
Company bas been closed for tbe winter,
Bays a dispatch from Dallas. The lack
of cars and tbe sharp advance in freight
rates are the primary causes of the situa
tion and unless relief is found the
mills throughout Polk county will proba
bly be forced to close.
