4 A Bird in the Hand
is Worth Two in
the Bush"
Is a well known adage, and a
correct one, too. In sub
stance it amounts to just this:
There's absolutely no ex
cuse for going to Portland or
anywhere else to buy Cloth
ing when we carry the well
known Alfred Benjamin
make, the very clothing that
many people go to the cities
to buy.

REGULATE ALL FISHING.
Some peoples' ideas of salmon pro
tection: "The Astoria Idea has contended
that no closed season In tidewater
was necessary. It has extended the
open season for fishing by means of
Its influence in Legislatures. It has
required tho Fish Warden living at
Astoria to permit suspension of the
closed season laws. It has allowed
glllnets on the bar, thus setting up
a barrier to entrance of salmon Into
the river. It has so amended the
laws that they are now a nullity as
tar as protection through closed sea
son goes. It has successfully resisted
efforts to cut down the catch of tide
water gear. It has pursued the Ap
ril, May and June salmon so hard
that they nre now nearlng extinction.
It has extended the open season in
August by one installment after an
other until the August fish have
been almost cut off from hatcheries.

If you think the state has had
enough of selfish greed;
Vote 333 X No.
to a continuance of the Astoria Idea;
and
Vote 318 X Yes
to further the U. S. Government rec-omniendnttons.
The streets have just been nicely graded and the sale of lots is
brisk. Many people are buying the very choicest residence lots
at lower prices than will ever again be offered in Eugene.
People are waking up to the unusual advantages of BLAIR
STREET ADDITION.

Do you realize what an investment in this addition will do for you? How can it avoid ad
vancing in value with these lots lying right against the built up 'district, and where the
city is certain to get its greatest growth? Let one of the agents named below take you
out there. You don't need to buy if you don't want to, but we think you will want to after
you see these fine lots and know about the easy terms you make your own terms you
may have. Better not wait; the other fellow is getting busy and it's time you acted, before
all are sold. There are only twenty lots and Two acre tracts left.

gcr, '09, was iiiianlii'QisiJ' elected
assistant football couch ior the com
ing season. Arnsplger has another
year In college, hut has played his
limit under the four-year rule. He
entered the University In the fall oi
1904 and at once played tacme on
the 'varsity eleven, besides winning a
coveted position on the All-Northwest

olaved reeularlv as tackle for four
years under coaches Smith, Shorts.
Bezdek and Frost, and at tne close oi
last season was again honored with
a place on the All-North west eleven.
Arneplger has put himself through

dropped out of college early In the
spring during his first two years in
college and as a "onsequence will
