Washington, D. C. A section pro
posing abolition of 39 land offices was
eliminated from the interior depart
ment appropriation bill by the house.
The vote was 68 to 47 on an amend
ment, offered by Representative Sin
nott, republican, Oregon, to strike out
t he section.
Among the offices for which con
solidations effective July 1 had been
proposed wore: Boise and Lewlston,
Idaho; Lakevlew, Portland, Roseburg,
The Dales and Vale, Or.; Seattle and
Spokane, Wash.
The Sinnott amendment, as well as
the other proposals adopted under
house rules, are subject to another
vote before final passage of the bill,
and it was indicated that the fight
on the former would bo reopened at
that time.
A section of the interior depart
ment bill carrying $8,943,000 for
reclamation work for the fiscal year,
was adopted without amendment in
the house.
The housn accepted the bill's provi
sions for projects at Baker and Uma
tilla, Ore.; Klamath, Oregon-California;
Okanogan and Yakima, Wash.,
and Yakima (Kittitas division), Wash,
and the provision for general Investi
gation of secondary projects.
The house refused to accept three
proposals by Representative SummerB,
republican, Washington, to' Increase

WE CALL YOUR SPECIAL ATTENTION TO OUR
CHRIST
SALE
OF
COATS and DRESSES
Instead of waiting till after Christmas, as is our usual custom, to inaug
urate our "END OF THE YEAR CLEARANCE SALE" we have been
busy the past two days marking down every dress and coat in stock.
Every garment in this sale retains its original price ticket showing you
clearly the marked reductions and the unusual savings. We are not
advertising price comparisons as they mean nothing unless backed up by
genuine quality and worth in garments that you must see to know wheth
er thev are the bargains we claim they are.
WINTER COATS
Not a great many of them left but the styles, colors and sizes are excel
lent in every way. We are determined to dispose of them quickly and
have marked them so attractively low that if you need a coat you will be
sure to find what you want at the price you wish to pay. Just compare
these coats with others you may have seen, and if the values are not a
great deal better than expected, don't buy. We've marked them so low
that they are going to be sold at once, so' be here early to choose. As
low as $6.95 up to $39.75
DRESSES
Here are shown the fashionable styles in popular fabrics, wool or silk,
in a complete range of the good colors in sizes 16 to 50. Not a one has
been reserved and price concessions are so liberal that you will be temp
ted to buy more than one. Remember that our cash prices are always
low, now you buy at still lower prices because we must clean the racks of
all Fall and Winter garments. Here are some of the prices:
$595 $9 75 $11-95 $13 95
$19 75 and $2175
