THE BEST ROUTE TO KLONDIKE Is by way of the Calhou Grocery Co. The mining man can always find there just what he wants at just the right price. By the ex pression “Klondike” we mean the Klondike of Jos ephine County. There’s no use of going to that country of eternal ice and frost to look for gold, when we have so much of it right here at home. Don’t be lieve all you read or hear about Alaska, it is far bet ter to convince yourselves of the richness of Southern Oregon. An ounce of sat isfaction is worth a ton of talk. The last remark al ludes to our stock of gro ceries as well as mining. We are not miners but we are interested in mining just the same and we th ink we can interest all the miners who are in need of a bill of grub. Where others catch fish is a good place for vou to go. Any one who has bought gro ceries here will tell you this is the place to get right goods at right prices.
