We have been busy during the past week buying large bills of new goods and we hope to open up with brand new stock bigger and better than ever during the near future. I believe that we are today in better shape than ever before to buy goods in large quantities at the very lowest prices, which will enable us to place our merchandise before you at the low est price ever known. We are prqud of our reputation of selling merchandise cheaper than any other store in Eastern Oregon, which we be lieve is appreciated by every man and woman in the county, and our constant aim will be to guard this reputation with the utmost care, and to profit by still further reduction in prices wherever possible. It will take a few days before our stock of groceries will be complete. And our new stock of dry goods and ready to wear garments will be here during March. We thank you for the business you have given us in the past and hope that you will be able to increase it in the future. Yours for better merchandise and lower prices, R C.

Judge Patterson was asked to tell about "The Lone Democrat." He thought it unfair to discuss that subject, considering that sev eral democrats were present, but he did tell how hard it was to find the three democratic representa tives at Salem, because of the prominence of the joint represen tative from Morrow and Umatilla counties.
