Tbe people of lone generally were in

In speaking ot tbe kindness ot tbe
lodge members and fellow oitizens, bis
wife referred to tbem in a manner
thoroughly appreciative of what they

The following dipped from the Ore
gonian of Nov. 15th, shows the consider
ation in which he was held there, where,
for many years be was a prominent
business man, held in high esteem for
his honorable obsraoter:
The deoeased was about 55 years of
age, and came to Oregon aOout I860, with
is parents. Tbey lived in Portland for
several years, ween they moved to Mount
abor, where they lived for about 25
ears. al. M. blunter became toe book
keeper for Joseph Borkhard in early
ays, when tbe latter bad a meat market
the ooruer of East Pine staeet and
Union avenne, aod continued in that
capacity for Gus Strube nntil tbe death
f the latter. After that be wai asso
ciated with the Kindorff Bros, in the
same plaoe until they were absorbed by
the Uuion Meat Company. He sooumu
lated considerable property, and was
reputed to be worth about $25,000, bat
t was all swept away in the financial
slump, and he was left with eoarcely
anything. Before going to lone he was,
for a short time, meat inspector at Trout-
ale. He was well known in early days,
and was a man of considerable business
ability. He was a member ot Fidelity
lodge No. 12, A. O. D. W. A wife and
two sons survive bim.

magnanimously voted tbem $350, the
amount of their aoonmulntion through
donations and the sale of ball tickets.
This earn of $700 will at once be invested
in a light hose oart for practice, a good
Are bell aod regulation fire suits and
hats, most essential for profioieut
service. The boys are taking a decided
interest in perfecting their organization,
and the business men are beartly in
acoord with their spirit. Nothing will
be overlooked in equipping the depart
ment, and it is the duty of everyone
to lend their aid. Frank Roberts and
Frank Nutter left on Wednesday morn-
nn'i train for Portland to seleot tbe

Remember it was The Fair that made values better and prices
lower in Heppner! ! !
Can we sell goods at a profit for less
than other retail dealers pay for them?
(The Simple Truth)
We belong to an organization of Cash Store Buyers. When
our order goes to a factory we club together, and where each one
needs but $1,000 worth of goods every one of the 45 stores put their
orders in with ours and the factory gets 45 times what each one would
order and consequently gives us first consideration at discounts they
could not begin to give a lone buyer. We are in exactly the position
ot the wholesale dealer who buys in such quantities that he can sell at
a profit to the retail dealer.
