it i pm i ru THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 0, 1S03. A MAMMOTH STORE. An Establishment of Which Oar cltiiens May Justly Feel Proud. Last Monday afternoon n Scout represen tative visited the mammoth ecneral mer chandise establishment of Adoljdi Levy, located on thecorncr of Main and Cstreets i-. this city. As you enter the main build hig, which is COxSO feet in size, you are con fronted with what appears to be one s.olid mass of goods, wares and merchandise, but upon a closer examination you find ev erything neatly and systematically ar ranged in their proper departments. Ex cellent taste Is displayed by Mr. Levy's genial and accommodating sons, Leon and Milton, in the arrangement of the pro lific display of shawls, scarfs, handker- t- chiefs, etc., which are hung to wires r stretched from wall to wall. Outsido visi tors upon entering the store for the first time nrc truly amazed and aotonished at the magnitudo of the stock before them, and wonder If the trade of alty of the size of Union Justifies the keeping of such a stock. A city of tiro times the population of Union would certainly have cause to feel proud of such an establishment. Th OIlUCCRY DKI'AETMENT, which is located on the right as you enter the building, consists of about forty feet of shelving and the same is fairly lndcn with albmnnucr of staple and fancy groceries pure nnd fresh, and at prices that will stir prise you on account of their cheapness. Adjoining this is the stock of crockery anil glassware. All the latest stvles of dUhos and glassware may be found in stock at reasonable prices, and the most fastidious need go no further when in (.earch of any thing they want in this line. Ills line uf HOOTS AND SIIOKK 'will compare favorably with that of nnv firm in Eastern Oregon which makes n specialty of the business. Ills stock of these articles is so large and varied that sany person, without regard to the shape, length and sizo of his or her foot may rest assured of a snug and comfortable fit. The stock of carpets, oil-cloths, etc., is yery complete and worthy of the inspection of buyers before purchasing elsewhere. Carpets mav bo had all the way from f0 cents to $1.50 per yard, and the many diff erent patterns and qualities Insures that parties in search of anything in this line will be suited. We must not overlook the large and varied stock of HATS AND CAl'H, ;as this department occupies a goodly iior tion of tho southeast corner of the building. It is said that a'man may be dressed in the finest broadcloth, and having an unbecom ing hend gear perched upon his cranium he will look slovenly and out of fa-hion A visit to Levy's store and an inspection of his stock of hats and c-ins will remedy all this, as to examine them is to buy them Last but not least comes the stock of DHV (01H AND CLOTIIIXll. This department Is now being replenished by the addition of all the latest to be had in the line. Ladies, dress goods, and wraps in the latest styles and the lowest price. Thcro is no excuse for an man not going well dressed when Levy's stock of gent's clothiusr is at their disposal. Overcoats at prices that defy competition. The warehouse, located just west of the store, is a room 20x50 feet, and Is packed to the ceiling with unopened cases, held in reserve to till without delay any large or der that may como in. In conclusion wo would say that, so com plctc is the stock carried nt this store, we will venture the assertion that any article, no matter what it may be. can bo found in stock in Levy's establishment and can be ipurehased at reasonable rates. Their Golden Wedding. The fiftieth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Carroll was celebrated last Wednesday evening nt their residence in .North Union.

On Weduosday night of last week, about 8 o'clock, tho Overland train on the South ern 1'aciliu railroad went through tho tros tlu work at Lake Labish near Chotnawa Indian school, about four miles north of Salem.
