Please take notice that the Albany

pany is not "Johnson’s Bqst” ( Pheas

1 he above notice appears in today's
Guard and Register.
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

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

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.
