Having just completed the opening of our useful as well as our ornamental, our plain as well as our
decorated ware, we are now prepared for the trade in all its branches. Buying our goods direct from
the manufacturers, and always paying cash for them, we not only get them at regular trade prices, as
cheap as San Francisco or Portland dealers can buy, but we also get the cash discount; and if any other
dealer thinks he can undersell us. he has only to start in, and we will agree that "the longest pole shall
knock down the persimmons." We guarantee our patrons that for quality and quantity our prices shall be
than any other house in town. Our sales of Christmas goods have been large, for which we return thanks
to our customers, but we still have a full and varied stock of as unique and beautiful goods as can be
found in town, and as we have said relative to other goods, we will not be undersold.
The expressions of admiration and satisfaction that have been made by those that -have examined or
bought from us have been gratifying and assure us that our efforts to please the Astoria public are ap
preciated. We shall continue as in the past to try and merit the generous patronage bestowed upon us.
Call and see our Dinner Sets, Tea Sets, Toilet Sets; in great variety, Crystal Ware of all kinds,
Lamps, either hanging, stand, or hall in large stock, and in short, anything you want to buy.
Remember also that we are still in the grocery and provision trade and arc ready to supply you with
anything you want in those lines as cheap as the same quality of goods can be sold by any other dealer.
So remember the place to buy is at

A Protest Prom Lumbermen.
Washington, Dec. 20. Manu
facturers of lumber on thp Parilir
coast have sent to member ut 'In
Pacific coast delegation one of t Li
ablest statements received from
any part ol the country against re
duction of the tariff on lumber.
The petition says that if lumber is
placed on the free trade list it will
at once most unfavorably affect the
prosperity of the Pacific coast,
and be just so much an increase to
that of British Columbia where
lumber lands are given to mills at
the rate of 20 cents per acre, and
which are more accessible to wa
ter, and where labor is cheaper,
owing to large employment of
Chinese. There are in California,
"Washington and Oregon lflO saw
mills, employing over 3.500 men,
without counting the crews of the
many vessels engaged in freight
ing lumber. The petitioners state
that taking the tariff off of lumber
would at once give the entire bus
iness to British Columbia.
The petition also recites that if
the tariff is taken off of lumber all
the citizens in the trade of the
Pacific coast, employers and em
ployes, will demand in justice,
that the duty on iron, cordage and
other things which go to make up
the cost of manufacturing lumber
be also repealed, in order that if
the lumber interest is to be placed
in full and open competition with
the mills in Canada, the conditions
of cost and manufacture ma' be
also equalized.
Richard K. Fox refuses to have
the Kilrain-Smith contest a draw
after 106 rounds, and says: "The
fight must be finished. If Smith
refuses I shall claim the belt, the
world's championship and the
stakes for Kilrain." Also the fol
lowing to his representative, Wm.
E. Harding: "A draw won't do.
Ihe men must meet to a finish. If
Smith refuses, I shall claim the
belt, the world's championship and
the stakes for Kilrain. I am will
ing to back Jack against John L.
Sullivan after this is settled for
from $5,000 to 10,000 and the
belt."
Ayer's Sarsaparilla braces up
the system; purifies and invigor
ates. Invalids need it.

A 1 ACT TO BE REMEMBERED.
Do not bo deceived by misrepre
sentation . Ask your druggist for
Allcock's Porous "Plasiers and let
no explanation or solicitation induce
vou to accept a substitute. Allcock'3
Plasters are a purely vegetable
preparation, the formula of which is
known only to the manufacturers.
Their valuable curathre qualities are
due to the employment of the high
est medical and chemical skill. They
act safely, promptly, and effectually.
Over 1,000,000 persons have been
cured by Allcock's Porous Plas
ters. Gen, Canby's widow comes be
fore congress with a demand for
$2,000, which she claims was due

the days of '49.
