The long looked forward to event
is now at had. Two things have
been uppermost in our mind in the
planning of it. First, our inflexi

very important, that last year's
sales records are to be put in the
shade.
A sweeping clearance carrying all
our winter stocks before it and
leaving behind a store ready to re

that's the object of it.

aged 40 years. Deceased had
been in poor health for several
years and an attack of pneumonia
was mdre than her weakened
consitution could stand. Mrs.
Stillson's maiden name was Bak
er and she came to this county
from Lane county where she was
born when she was G years old,
residing with her parents on
Silver Creek. She was first mar
ried to Nellis Parker who died
some 11 years ago. In 1906 she
was married to B. F. Stillson and
soon after they 'moved to Lane
county where they resided until
a year ago last fall when they
returned to this place. Five
children survive Mrs. Stillson,
three sons and a daughter from
the Parker union and a little son
since her last marriage. She is
also survived by two sisters, Mrs,
J. H. Witzell. of Narrows, and
Miss Nina Baker, of Ontario.

mit a bid for the carrying of the
mail to Harney county. C. M.
Kellogg formerly, or prior to par
cel post act, carried the mail for
$2900. After he quit the con
tract price jumped up to about
$10,000. For the new letting the
required bond is $14,000 and it is
said that it will cost nearly dou
ble that amount to maintain the
service. It is believed here that
all of the bids that have been
submitted will be rejected, the
amount of the bond raised, and
a new call made. Bluo Mt.
