Lo o k Wise if you can’t look Pleasant BEWARE of FAKIRS! Peddlers, who go about the country hawking eye glasses, are doing incalculable damage to the Ameri can eye-sight. Dont take the chance of ruining your sight by dealing with them. devote their time exclusively to this section, which is more than may be said of a number of Port land realty men who list property from here along with holdings of various other sections. Moreover whatever compensation is attached to the sale of lands finds its way into Estacada channels, another important item. In listing proper ty for sale or rental, people of this section cannot go wrong by con sulting Standish and Furbeck. The whole success or usefulness of a pair of glasses depends upon their proper position in front of the eye. If they are bent or misplaced they are WORSE than useless. I would be glad to have any and all wearers of glasses call at my office at least once a month that may re-adjust them. 1 For this I charge nothing, whether I fitted the eyes previously ot not. D r.

Mr. Schuble, who is a law partner of Uren the single tax boomer, denies he be lieves in Henry George single tax, but anyhow he doesn’t want to talk about single tax. He is after the ft corporations with a hot poker, es pecially the P. R, L- & P. which he wants to tax some more on water power. The especial object of his attention, at present pays $102,000 of the $500,000 taxes of Clackamas county. Mr. Dillman opposes sin gle tax._____ ___ Want to Clean Up?

Do you work well with your wife in double harness, or does she pull the larger part of the load? Are you working in single harness? If so, you are making a sad mistake, Young man, go and select one of Clackamas county’s fair damsels, ask her if she will join you in pulliug through life together. Find one that will mate up well. Then each of you put your necks through the collars and start out evenly gaited and stretch the tugs good and taut, and then life will be worth living. The above is speaking figuratively. Now getting down to BRASS TACKS: We want to talk harness. Until Niagara Falls and the Clackamas River were harnessed, neither of them were of any special benefit to mankind. Since the power of those waters have been utilized — harnessed— they have become a source of man’ s comfort and profit, You may have as fine a team as ever one admired. A thing of beauty, unadorned beauty. Now why not do with that team what has been done with the waters herein mentioned, viz; Harness them. Get a harness fitting and proper. Get good, practical results from the strength of your horse. There are harness and harness. Some are good, some bad, some indifferent, A cheap harness is an eyesore aud the use of it tends to destroy that amiable disposition of yours. Yes, we are in the harness business. We have them for sale. We want to sell them. Want to sell some of them to you. We want to make that sale right away. Now throw down this paper, pnt on vour hat and come a running to our yellow front emporium and select one of our genuine Cali fornia tanned leather harness, then there will steal across your peaceful breast a sense of deep rooted satisfaction, such as you have not felt for many a year. We now have a harness man who will make anything you want in the harness line' will also repair your old harness. Have we made ourselves plain, if not, come around and we will whisper in your car just what we want you to know. Don't forget us on Implements, Vehicles, Paints and Gas oline Engines.
