go to determine the value o f dia
monds, viz: color, cutting, freedom
from flaws, general brilliancy and
representation — chiefly the latter.
Oftentimes diamonds are bought be
cause o f their representation, and
quite often they are not what the pur
chaser supposes them to be.
For years we have been striving to
obtain and maintain the confidence o f
our customers and have succeeded,
because we never misrepresent our
goods.
Just now we have stones, most o f
them perfect, from $8.50 to $175.00.

Mr. and Mrs. James Elkins Have
Four Generations Living.
James E. Elkins, o f Indepen
dence, is one o f the oldest pion
eer settlers o f Oregon, and ranks
also as one o f the oldest citizens
o f the state, being in his 90th
year. He comes from a promi
nent southern family, being a
second cousin o f Senator Steph
en B. Elkins, o f W est Virginia.
He le ft home when he was
22 years o f age, coming to Mis
souri. He found a ride o f im
migration to Oregon setting in,
and in 1845 joined a company
and drove a team across the
plains arriving in Oregon after
six months o f hardship and per
ils incident to travel in those
days.
A t The Dalles, where the w ag
on road ended, the company built
rafts and took their wagons and
goods across the Columbia and
down to the Cascade Locks on
the Washinglon side. There was
a considerable herd o f cattle be
longing to the company and the
only way to transport them was
to swim the river. But the
river was so wide that the cattle
could not swim across unless
driven by men on horseback.
Elkins volunteered to help do
