I he public is lead to believe that Johnson’s Best” Pheasant Brand Flour is a higher price flour than the one we are offering. Some weeks ago we contracted with Mr. Knox, of the Albany Mill and Ele vator Co., for a car of “Johnson’s Best Flour at $ 1.06X per sack delivered in our warehouse. The following day Mr Knox notified us that unless we main tained a selling price of $1.25 per sack he would be compelled to cancel the order. We informed Mr. Knox that we considered 19c a sack more proCt than a dealer should realize on I sack of flour, it being the most staple article he handles, and unless we could fix our own selling price could not use his flour Since then we have made numerous in- quiries throughout the valley and have been unable to find any mill that will sell us floilr for less than price quoted us by Mr. Knox Reputable’’ dealers are paying $l.06X for Johnson’s Best ’ and selling it for $1.25, meanwhile AX BILLY continues to sell Albany Flour Ax Billy Department Store The Store That Keeps Prices Down Madison, Oct. 8.—Senator LaEollctte announced today his intention to "proceed at once with the regular publi cation of a weekly magazine, devoted to public interests along lines broad enough to appeal to the progressive peo- people of the entire country." ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦+ ♦ ♦ + ♦ + ♦ ■ ♦ ♦ ♦ Chicago, Oct. 8. The second ses sion of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterways Association was attended today by as great and enthusiastic an audience as that which listened to Taft on the opening day. Mr. Bryan was the magnet of the second session and his appearance on the platform and introduction by David R. Fran cis, of St. Louis, was the signal for a tumult that forced the Democratic candidate to bow repeatedly during the many minutes before he could begin his address. Bryan declared his hearty sympa thy with the deep waterways move ment and said he would dohls ut most to help improve the Mississippi and every river that empties into it. The railroad cannot rival a water course In cheapness and he said wa- ter“passage helped the man of small capital, whereas the railroads help ed the man of large capital; that where there is a river every man who can build o boat can engage in the transportation business. At the afternoon session Gifford Pinchot, chairman of the National Conservation Commission, delivered an address on the "Waterways and Conservation Movement.” Mr. Bryan, after delivering his speech at the convention, addressed the Evanston students on the North western University campus this after noon. be said that the unusually fine fall weather has been strenuously utilized in the doing up of fall work, and the farmers claim that this course is more profitable than spouting poli tics. They know. The body of J. F. Nixon, who was drowned in the Willamette river north of thi city Tuesday of last week, was recovered last Saturday afternoon. It had drifted about one mile from the place where he was drowned and caught on a snag in four feet of swift running water. The coroner was present but found no cause for empaneling a jury Funeral services were helJ in the Christian church here and conducted by Rev. J. S. McCallum of Eugene. ment was made in the A. O. I. »»• cemetery two and one-half miles east of this city. Mr. Nixon was carrying life Insurance to the amount of two thousand dollars, whicn will place his wife and five children in inde pendent circumstances. BOOTH-KELLY CO RECEIVES FINE LOGGING ENGINE j The farmers of this section are busy with their fall planting. All summer-fallow which has been well worked is being sown in the dust. Also many fields of stubble are being "cut in.” It is reasoned that the rain, when it comes, will cause the. grain to germinate and grow, where-, as, if they wait until the rains come, at this late season, the proper con- ditions for planting may be of short duration. A fine new logging engine for the Booth-Kelly Lumber Co. arrived from the Baldwin locomotive works I this morning and will be taken to ; the company's new logging railway above Wendling as soon as it can be | fitted up for operation under its own , steam. The engine is as large or I perhaps larger than the S. P. loco motive that runs on the Wendling I branch and has the appearance of j being very powerful. It Is a wood-, burner. The Baldwin company sent) a man along with the engine to start i it running. The new railway being built by the company will be finish ed before the winter rains set In. About four miles have been com pleted. The road is as substantial as the S. P. Co's branch and has the same sized rails. EDWARD H. MÄRTIN ON TRIAL FOR WOLFF MURDER accompanying ,utnnII„ pass.
