The city council held a l'Migthy

definitely arranged. Tile matter of
exporting tbu city's books In still in
the hands of the committee, and ac
tion on the mniter of lighting con

the week, although both of the sub
jects were thoroughly discussed. The:
question of the city boundaries was

and one other things mentioned,'
most of which have been thrathed
over before.
Tho question of experimenting the;
city books was opened by a report
from the committee having this in j
charge. This committee recommend-;
eil that inasmuch as the cost of a
professional experter employed from i
the outside would bp excessive, and 1
that they had had difficulty In se
curing a local party willing to do
the work, the ICugene hanks ench
furnish nn accountant, these three
men, paid by the city, would account
the city records for at least four
years back. S. H. Friendly then
brought forward a petition with a
long list of signatures, claiming to
represent the Citizens' League of Eu
ueno, and usklng to have the city
books accounted for the past 0 to 8
years by some professional account
ing firm, not Interested In Kugene,
tiffulrs. M. M. Davis spoke In ex
planation of this proposition, lie
said that the league did not question
for one moment the integrltg or the
honesty of nny members of the
council, city officem or local bankers, j
There was the fact that charges had;
been made ngalrst certain councils:
of the pa::t few .vcr.rs. and It Is the I
purpose of having this work done!

said, who t: establish r::iro stronglvj

Clnrroll objected to the committee's
report, for he m!! iu thought that
the period over which tho books were
exported should bo at least six or:

event at this unusual time of the year for holding sales is to reduce this stock at once, before the dull days of mid-winter strike us. We have decided that before Christmas, when every mer
chant is naturally expecting his highest profits, is the best time to reduce stock. We prefer now, when business is active, to later, when it is not. Half of this present stook should be sold
before night of Christmas Eve. If low prices are any inducement to this community and we know they are the greatest inducement to all thrifty people this result will be accomplish
ed. Right now, when you most need the goods for winter's needs right now, in the face of Christmas, when gift-buyin? is a necessity right now, when every stock is complete and at
its best, we offer you this peerless opportunity to save money much money on every before-Christmas purchase. Every line of goods in the store will have its necial bargain induce
ments every day. If one bargain lot is closed out we will certainly create another to take its place. We cannot tell you of all the bargain offerings in this :.d rtissment. We can
only print a few. Vhat you want is here, and when you come you will see it at a good deal smaller price than you would have to pay for the same grade of goods aryvvhere else in the city
