HENRY PERNOLL
THE PITCHING KID
There haB been much talk around
town among the baseball fans as to
what "Jud" Pernoll would do to
Casey's Colts when ho went aguinst
them with the Black Cata of the
Northwest League. Well, Aberdeen
had loHt three straight to Portland
up to yesterday (Thursday), even
big leaguer Eddie Solver, who was
purchased by Aberdeen from Minne
apolis and who has attracted much
attention, got his bumplngs. Pernoll
went In the box yesterday und shut
out the Colts 1 to 0, and allowing
them only 3 hits, thus breaking the
hoodoo for Aberdeen the second time
this season and winning tho first
gamo of the present series from Port
land. And what's more he won his
own gnmo by a timely hit in tho
fifth.
This makes 7 games out of 9 that
he hnn won for Aberdeen this year.
He lost his first game to Spokane In
the first series und the other was lost
to Seattle two weeks ago, when he
himself was responsible for the one
run made by Aberdeen, by knocking
a home run. Just keep your eye on
that boy, be Is certainly a coming
kid and next year may see lilm In the
Amerlcnn or National League.
The following Is what Mike Don
II it, formerly captain of the New
York National League team says of
him In today's Oregonlnn:
"This youngster, Pernoll, seems to
be something of a pitcher, for he
surely had everything yesterday and
the Portland batsmen were unable
to solve his delivery successfully,
Portland scored three hits, and only
one of these, Cooney's drive to left
In the ninth, was n good healthy hit.
The other two were scratched out by
Mni'ay and (iuyn, but went for
naught.
'Pernoll, who, I am told, comes
from Southern Oregon, looks likely
enough to be ripe for the big leagues
light now, lie has a very effective
underhand ball, and a most deceiv
ing delivery, with very lltle motion.
I do not believe thai he will remain
in this league another season, for 1
doubt If he finishes with Aberden,
as some club in the big leagues
would be willing to pay big money
for a left-handed pitcher apparently
ns reliable as this lad."
A Musical Treat.
Lnt Saturday evening and the
preceding Saturday were the open
ing days of the new clothing estab
lishment of Holeomb, llallgus &
Eastwood. These events were cele
brated In a manner In keeping with
the up-to-date style in which this
store will hereafter be conducted.
The Grants Pass orchestra rendered
excellent music throughout the even
ing and the store was crowded with
ladles and gentlemen who passed
several hours admiring the up-to-
date apolntments and elegant wear
ing apparel, as well as enjoying the
music. On the last evening Ernest
Umphlette, of Glendale, added very
materially to the program by a well
rendered vocal solo.
This new store Is one of the finest
in Southern Oregon and all the ar
rangements and fixtures are of the
latest Improved pattern. The firm
will carry a complete line of gent's
furnishing goods and their motto "If
men wear it, we have It" Is every
where exemplified In their wearing
apparel, which Is elegant and ex
clusive in style and fit. Among the
latest additions to their stock Is a
handsome set of Mission chain
which will be used In the store for
the comfort and convenience of cus
tomers while purchasing goods. Al
together the Peerless Clothing Co.,
Incorporated, Is a valuable addition
to our city and the public may be
sure of courteous treatment at the
hands of the firm.
the only way in which the merchant
can play even on the bad account end
of the transaction Is to add suffi
cient profit to those who do pay their
debts to cover the loss sustained by
those who don't. Many merchants
will deny this statement to their cus
tomers, but Just watch the expression
on their countenance when they try
to palm off their fairy story on you.
Under the Rochdale system of doing
business on a cash basis, the bad ac
counts are not even contracted,
therefore no possible chance lor a
loss. The stock of the company
draws an annual dividend of 8 per
cent per annum or SO cents per
share. The main benefit to be de
rived by the stockholders is the re
fund each receives at the end of the
year on his' or her purchases made
during the year. For Instance, let
us take the c ' itomer who buys on
an average of $U0 per month for the
year, or a total of ?3G0. The gro
cery business Is considered good for
15 per cent clear profit carried on
in the ordinary manner. Under the
Rochdale plan the members or stock
holders get the benefit of the profits
on the purchases of those who are
not stockholders, and after the first
year (which is always the expensive
one In getting Btarted) the Rochdale
company should be able to muke a
refund of close to 20 per cent on
every dollar worm purvuoacu.
the stockholders. Even a 10 per
cent refund on the above amount of
360 amounts to 36. Are you get
ting even this kind of a refund from
your present grocerynian? If not,
why not? And if not, are you doing
your trading where you should?
It Is not the Intention of the com
pany to cut prices In order to secure j
business, but to meet all competition
of our opponents. We must sell at
regular prices in order to be able to
buy from the wholesale houses.
One thing which the Rochdale
company proposes to do is to abolish
the "swapping" of groceries for but
ter and eggs. Our stockholders can
get cash or trade as they desire. We
will not limit our stockholders as to
the amount of fresh eggs which they
shall bring. This is contrary to the
custom heretofore. In short, the
Rochdale store Is a store by the peo-1
pie and for the people, anil the peo-
pie are going to stand back ot it.
New stockholders are coming In '
every day, and the daily receipts are ;
Increasing very rapidly. ,

The Foreman of the Almeda.
E. R. Crouch and wife were visit
ing the homo of Mr. II. B. Hendricks
this week from Gallee and also tak
ing In the big show. Mr. Crouch Is
foreman of the Almedu Consolidated
and has worked at tho Almedu al
most constantly Blnce tho Almeda
company nculred possession of this
mine. He started In as an under
ground hard rock miner, then was
the blacksmith and machinist. He
has only been absent from the mine
long enough to finish a special
course he took in assaying in Port
land two years ago, and since that
lime has done all the assaying for
the company at the mine saving
great expense to the company. .Mr.
Crouch also took up civil engineer
ing and photographing the works ut
the mine both underground and
outside; and made thorough dia
grams and blue prints of the entire
work of several thousand feet, of tun
nel work, which has made matters
more comprehensive to any one de
siring to Investigate the Almeda
properly, Mr. Crouch returned to
the mine on the l!tli to resume his
duties there. We expect greater
things of the Almeda mine than we
are able to tell Just now. Recent
work there has uncovered great
bodies of fine ore In the lower tun
nels, which without any other ore
taken from that which Is blocked
out In the first, second or third tun
nels will Insure paving work with
the smelter that the company expects
to start up In the not very distant
fut ure.
GRANTS PASS AND
MEDFORD PLAYED BALL
The baseball game last Sunday be
tween Medford and Grants Pass was
not exactly what you would call a
good game, as both teams seemed
to have n basket of errors to dispose
of, which they did very prettily,
that Is It Is generally understood
that their supply was nearly ex
hausted at the end of the nine Inn
inn, which were played out to the
Mtter end. Medford started up the
merry go-round In the first Inning
when Elfert reentered at rnch of
the respective stations and accident

young man to the extent of several

It has been truthfully stated that
nothing will build up n worthy
cause or object more rapidly than
unjust persecution. This has been
fully demonstrated during the last
few days in the operation of the
Modulate Co-operative Store at

will he plain to be seen why some ,
of the old time merchants are niak-

ting a foothold in this county. j
The Rochdale company Is nn In- '
corporated stock company with a
capital stock of $r.,nii divided Into i
r.nrt nhuiv of $10 cadi. The stock '
or membership shares are sold to ;
members of the association, not over
