Summer Wash Goods and Waistings V W reduction over The Heppner Gazette Issued Thursday Morning. Warnock te Michell. Entered at the Postoffice at Heppner Oregon, as second-class matter. Thursday September 10, 1903 Sir Thomas goes back to England feeling pretty good even if he did not lift the cup. He ought to. Everywhere he was given the glad hand and filled up on fine dinners. Americans can do the right thing aa well as sail, boats. Portland is doing better. A negro who sandbagged a merchant, was arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary in less than 4S hours after the crime was committed. It is said the man was arrested by the police. Old America's cup still stays in America, an impressive souvenir of the superiority of American sea-; manship and boat building. Millions ' have been spent in trying to lift! tl,: little ,.1.1 cnr, tf.tllir K!r I Thomas Lipton has made a gallant fight for the cup, but goes back to England badly defeated and dis appointed, but it was not his fault. For one very important reason, the recent advance in silver will be welcomed. Silver mining is a very important interest in the United States, though it does not rank as high, absolutely or relative!', as it J did a few years ago. The market J value of the United States annual i silver product has avcragf d about 833 ,000,000 in recent years, which , is something of an item in the country V resources. An advance, however, of a few cents an ounce above the present price would open hundreds of mines now closed, Ve have a large quantity of Summer Wash Goods and Waistings left over and will sell them at a tion to make room for fall goods. These include Lawns, Ginghams, Percales, Dimities, Batistes, Silk Ginghams and Mercerized Ginghams, and are all this season's goods. Owing to the flood and backward season, we have more of a stock than we propose to carry over. It will pay you to l6ok them before they are all gone. 60 cent goods reduced to 40 cents 50 cent goods reduced to 35 cents 40 cent cjoods reduced to 30 cents 35 cent goods reduced to 25 cents MINOR k COMPANY and add many millions to the coun try's annual output of the metal. This is something in which gold men as well as silverites would re joice. THERE ABE OTHERS. There was not a little to criticize in the administration of the United States war department during the recent hostilities with Spain, and among the more severe critieu were British experts on military affairs. It was asserted, and with reason, that there was too much politics in the department and then came the oft repeated criticism that in the United States army as in other departments there was too much corruption and the exercise of too much "pull" to permit the service becoming as effective as it ought to be. There is some truth in these charges, but Britons have recently found out that American army administration is not the only one that is imperfect. The royal com mission's investigation into the conduct'of the Boer war shows a ead state of inefficiency. The leading officers are the most caustic critics, and among the small mat ters the investigators found was that the intelligence department was conducted by two men and a boy, although the outbreak of war had long been anticipated; that while khaki had been adopted for the uniform, no clothing of this material had been prepared; that the soldiers' boots were fchoddy, their rilles wrongly lighted and their bullets defective. The result of the investigations show that there are influences at work in the British service quite as bad as the political pull in the United States. Politicians and friends of politicians may not be the best men to manage army 30 cent goods reduced 20 cents 25 cent goods reduced 16 2-3 cents 20 cent goods reduced 15 cents affairs, but they seem to have done as well as the sprigs of gentility in Britain who make up the leisure class and hold their positions be cause of family connections.
