It is Sometimes people are scared by figures. If they represent a high price they'll say “Oh, there’s no use for me to trade at a store that quotes such prices.” And if the prices are extremely low, there are some who think that low prices represent poor qualities. W om en Qet Impatient to Spend Their Money This is true at this store when the crowds áre extra large— larger than we anticipated. For like all mortals, we are sometimes fallible and do not provide enough clerks. So some of the ladies are impatient, because they fear the goods will all be gone before their turn comes, and because they know our prices are lowest and our qualities as represented.

HARRY L a n e , tUe new demo cratic Mayor of Portland, has taken hold of the reins of the office after the style of the democratic sheriff, Tom Word. He has ordered the saloon boxes out and is otherwise showing his fists. No doubt the big city will be a model one by the time Lane gets through—or the city gets through with Lane. OREGON C it y has been made a wide-optn town by its mayor on the ground that the county officials have permitted the hamlet of Milwaukie to maintain a Monte Carlo. This is about the kind of excuses made by children in justification of some imaginary injury received from a playmate; it doesn't become a mayor. IN another column of this paper appears the first installment of an article on road building by D. Ward King, who, by practical experience has discovered a method of building rural roads at a moderate cost. Aside from the macadamized road this is the next best and by far the cheapest.

There are thirty-five shows on the Trail, and it costs only about seven dollars to see them all. This is much’ cheaper than at St. Louis. In the Idaho building at the Lewis o'clock in the Government building at tie Lewis and Clark Fair, are attract ing large audiences. Mr. Bulkley speaks eloquently on the wonders of the Yellowstone National Park, and his lecture is beautifully illustrated by col ored lantern slides. The price of admission to the Lewis and Clark Fair grounds in the evening has been reduced, by a provision whereby the purchaser of a fifty-cent admission ticket receives with his tick et coupons which admit him to twenty- five cents worth of shows on the Trail. The arrangement is proving popular. The change was made because it was thought that the fifty-cent charge : which merely permitted the visitor to j the grounds was unreasonable, since the exhibit palaces are not kept open | in the evenings. and Clark Fair there is a pyramid of nearly pure lead ore which weighs 60,- 000 pounds. A single specimen weighs 10,000 pounds. Idaho pro duces annually forty per cent of the lead mined in the United States, and twenty-seven per cent of the world’s supply. In the Foreign Exhibits building at the Lewis and Clark Exposition there is a reproduction of Raphael’s “ Sistine Madonna,” done entirely in needle work. The reproduction was made by a young German girl, Fraulein Clara Ripberger, and is considered the most wonderful example of art needlework ever created.
