Wash Goods Special
w
The cold, backward Spring and Summer have not
been very favorable for selling Sheer Wash Goods.
We find we have too many left. You know our policy
is never to carry seasonable goods over. Hence in
goes the Knite for a final clearing.
Many odds and ends and broken lines have been
left from the excessive selling during our Big Sale.
Many articles have become slightly soiled and
mussed from having been to much admired. Now
all of these will be segregated in various bargain lots
and marked down at further price reductions as a
fitting climax to our Big Sale.
As some of the lots are small let us urge you to
come early.
See our Show Windows for Prices.

the past week, and business of various kinds will bring them here
previous to July 4th., many of such have requested that we give
them the benefit of Sale Prices, even though they come a week
later.
As Marquardsen plays no favorites, prices and privileges be
ing the same to all, conditions require that

HEPPNER A
STOCK MARKET
Sales Foot up a Large Sum
This Season.
Tint Heppner is a market phce for
the stock in ustry is borne out by the
figures produced at the local stockyard
and wool warehouses. This has been a
backward year for stock of all kinds,
as well as other products of the ranch,
but for a town the size of Heppner it
speaks well f r it as a business center.
Business has been better in this town
this Spring than any other town in the
eastern part of the state.
This spring the sheep sales were cor.
siderably smaller than last year, owin
to the fact that the price had shrunk all
the way from 50 cents to a dollar on the
bead, and many sheepmen are holding
their lambs for a later market or until
next spring, when they think they will
be able to get what they think they are
worth. The average price paid this
Spring for sheep to go upon the ranges
of Montana and Wyoming is $2.60 and
that for the local motion market of
Troutdale and Portland was $3 25.
Sioce January 1, the Portland and
Troutdale markets have consumed over
1000 head of mutton sheep, which have
netted the growers $3250, and over 60,
000 head to go upon the ranges netted
the growers $156,000. The last train of
sheep which left here the first of the
week, for Montana, carried 500 head of
bucks, which were sold at $7-50 each.
The sale of sheep alone has brought in
to the hands of the growers ot this lo
cality $1 Go ,000, but this is not the onlv
revenue derived.
Heppner will market a good 3,000,000
pounds of wool this season at an aver
age price of 12 cents per pound, footing
np in round figures $306,000, which
brings the total receipts from tiie sheep
business up to 8523,000.
Heppner has shipped 2240 head o'
beef cattie at an average price of $45
per head, and over 85000 worth of
horses have gone to other markets.
The result of the output of stock from
this place lias brought into the hands of
the p-oducers $036,0S9.
The figtms given do cot include
blooded stock of any nature, but simply
s'ock taken from the ranges and landed
on the maikets. There are numeiotis
herds of blooded bucks in this county
that would biing a far better price than
if" 50, ami the same is true of horses
and entile.
bars b eu on a gradual increase until
thU Sprin, when the market slumped
about 15 per cent sod the price of wool
dropped off from 4 to 8 cents par pound.
However the growers are optimistic r d
figure that thiogs will straighten out
satisfactorily aftsr the Presidential elec
tion this Fall. Garfield Crawford ii
