An Illinois Town
Ten years nno had only one elgar fac
tory employing live hands. It also had
a young men's bunlness association
whose work wns to boom the town.
One of tho things the- association rec
oinmeudfd was for smokers to smoke
their town's cigars, talk their town's
cigars, and agree to smoke none other.
The result ia, that today that town has
8,000 population, 1,500 of whom work In
olgar factories. W. F. Bchiebe manu

HIGH PRICED TURKEYS.
A Local Dealer Explains Why They

On a recent trip from the Blllmfleld
river, says the Australian Shipping
News, the oUSter Charm took to Cook-
town an Interesting document found
by Philip Jotwvsonat Hope Islmd on
September 29th. It is a German printed
form. Issued from the observatory a
Hamburg, and filled in by Captain E.
F. Scihoone, of the brig F. H. broken, on
a voytie from Hamburg to Puentas
Arenas and thrown overboard, secu-ed
m a ibbtitle, on February 5, 1892, In lat

That position would be about 390 miles
southeast of the Gallipagos Islands, oft
the coast of Souiti America, so that
the ootf.le must 'have had many narrow

"I noticed an article in this morn'
tng's AstorCan," eaid M. M. Hunter, of
the firm of Hunter & Mergens, to a
reporter yesterday, "giving a compart
son of prices toeltween Oregon turkeys
and those raised east of the Missouri
river. The difference In price is so
great that those who are not familiar
with the subject, would naturally sup
pose that the Astoria dealers in poul
try are making a handsome profit on
every pound or turkey sold. It Is not
so, however, as I can easily show.
"Here," said Mr. Hunter, picking up
a lettter from his desk, "Is a communi
cation from a douglass covnty dealer,
In which hie offers a number of choice
turkeys at 12 1-2 cents per pound. As
you will see, he says that he pays the
farmer 10 cents for live turkeys, and
figures that, dressed they are worth
two cents aidUlitlional. He Is willing
to content himself with 1-2 cent profit
on each pound. We placed an order
for 200 select -turkeys, and find that
when we gelt them here the freight has
coat two cents, making the total cost
to us, 14 1-2 cents per pound. By the
time dispatches and other incidentals
conmeJclted With their purchase has been
summed up, the cost has reached 15
cents. If there are any losses, we are
the losers, and you can readily see how
hamdlsome Is our profit."
"Why Is It, Mr. Hunter," ventured the
reporter, 'Ithfcut Clatsop county farmers
are Ignored, When it comes to purchas
ing! products of the fanner?"
"If you refer to our sending to Doug
lass county for our turkeys," replied
thalt genltieman, a twinkle coming into
his eyes, "I can easily explain. I can
reaJdily see you do not know to what
extent the Clatsop county farmers go
into the pouUtry industry, or you would
not have aalked ith'alt question. We made
an effort to procure our turkeys here
at home, and would have been willing
to pay Ithe same price they cost us in
Douglass county, frelghlt added. Could
we get them? No. APter careful In
quiry, it was found that there were less
than two dozen turkeys offered in the'
whlole county. One rancher has four,
iteen turkeys which he disposed of to
tlhe Occident In lots of two and three.
Another had six birds, hut preferred
to keep them for a turkey shoot.
"It is my Impression that poultry
raising would he a most profitable bus
in ecu in Cl'iJ;sop county."

The fact Is you lose muoh by it
and you know It when you stop to
think about It. You Wave to make
your selections In a hurry, and thus
you frequently cannot suit yourself.
Moreover, more Judicious buyers
have been around ahead of you,
and have taken their pick of the
stock. You have to take what is
left. Again, the merchant hi the
ruah of the laat few days before
Christmas cannot wait upon you as
he would wi3h. Every considera
tion of this kind prompts you to
buy early. When you do, you make
befjter selections, you get your pick
of the goods, and you get a better
service.
Our great stores are loaded with
beajtlful and useful goods suitable
for Christmas preseitts. . We have
never before had such a beautiful
stock of holiday goods, nor have
they ever before been so cheap. A
glance at our show windows will
give you but a hint of th great
stock Hhat Is stored within.
A C hj Cat mas present bought from
our stork will last for years per.
haps a lifetime, and it will grtvs
pleasure las long as it lasts. These
are ithe kinds of goods to buy for
Christmas presents.
All thUt we ask of you, reader, is
to come and look at our grand stock
before you buy your Chrtstmsa to
kens. We want the public to know
what wa have. No one Is ever Im
portuned to buy In our stores. Our
goods speak for themselves; must
sell themselves, or remain unsold.
The only purpose of our advertis
ing is to get people to come and see
