Bhow our appreciation of tho pat

past, also to encourage new trade
and to bring the many splendid
values wo nro now showing in

buyer in this territory. Tho plan
we are using in giving away this
piano is equitable and fair to all,
simply this, every person buying
one dollar's worth of anything
in our store will receive u coupon
good for 100 votes. The person
returning to us on July 4 the lar
gest number of votes will bo giv
en the piano absolutely free of
all cost No favors will be shown.
Our reputation for 'square deal
ing' assures our customers of
that fact."
This four hundred dollar Upton
rarior urami piano is surely a
present worth having and we
predict a very "merry race" for
coupon votes during tho next few
months.
Reed Bros, are surely to be
congratulated upon their broad
minded methods and "Trade

RAILROAD WORK TO CONTINUE.
There seems to be nothing now
in the way of railroad work this
week, so far as new announce
ments are concerned other than
Ceief Engineer Stradley is cred
ited by the Vale Enterprise as
saying that large crews would be
kept at work all winter. That
paper says further:
As tho local construction engi
neers have been stating that they
would be through with their grad
ing work in the local yards be
fore Thanksgiving, there is every
reason to believe that these rail
road officials will be given more
instructions after the completion
of their present work. As far
as can be learned seven miles of
tract will be laid this winter in
the Vale yards although those in
structions have not yet been
given Engineer Grimes, in charge
of the work here. It is also
learned upon good information
that grading will be commenced
on the main line of the Oregon
& Eastern after the improve
ments of tho local yards, and that
the first appropriation provides
for 8G miles of track.
That grading work will be done
this winter is learned through a
number of contracts the railroad
company has made with some
property owners for right-of-way
It is belieyed that the work re
ferred to by Chief Stradley is to
bo done west outside of the fact
that crews would be kept busy in
this section through all the good
winter weather.
