Let us havp thlmr aninif I and span In doors and out. Pick up all the trash, burn It or send it to the dump pile. Speaking of the dump pile, It Is a pleasure to note that a committee will look utter this disreputable place and see that It Is not madi? a nuisance all by itself, nnd while talk ing on this point, let It be mentioned that the old dump on the outskirts west of town Is In the wrong place. A dump naturally breeds flies and, locateil where It Is, every wind that blows brings these pests Into town and to the homes of the people. Put the dump east of the city, thus reducing the fly population to a lare extent. ' A special effort Bhould Ik- made to reduce the (lies around our groceries and markets and all kinds of busi ness places, Including livery stables. A little of the right kind of work will do nwny with the breeding places of th'se poisonous Insects and make Grants Pass a more desirable town to live In. Every good citizen will be In favor of making n relent less war on the detestable flv. TI1K TOKA COM MRNCE.M ENT NUMBER. The commencement number of the Toka has been published and proves to ! a royal one. outranking all for mer Issues of the already famous high school publication. There are. when portraits are counted, something over road, but thuey will find it hard to convince some people that they have never been In sympathy with these disturbers. You can not affiliate with bad people and fall to a certain extent to become defiled. Those peoplp are revolutionists and they belong to the mob order. Socialists like other individuals, cannot com plain If they are Judged by the com pany they keep. Into smooth, level highways which may be traveled with the maximum of comfort under any weather con ditions In all seasons of the year. THE NATIONAL S A VINT, HANKS. At the present rate of increase, it has been predicted that within ten years, postal banks in the United States will bold over $500,000,000 and that the tnrlft of the people will be far more general than ever before. The French, who have for the past hundred yenrs practiced that kind of economy which made every peasant a banker, and have been ln the habit of loaning the novernment a billion or two on short notice, will now have to look to their laurels, or the gener al saving habit of American families will place them second in the list of (economists. FRUIT GROWERS ATTENTION A commission house owned and controlled by fruit and pro duce growers guarantees you a square deal on your products consigned to ns. Ample mar kets, ability and integrity, are our hopes of success. We want consignments of early fruits and produce. Peaches, tomatoes, melons and ennteloupen can .e handled in large quantities at all times. Correspondence solicited. COWLITZ Kill' IT PIMUH CM SS X IATION. C C. Stephens Mgr. KeNo, Wti-.li.

We believe that unquestionably the "North Star" Refrigerator is by long odds the best refrigerator on the market. Thev are ice savers and food savers they not only keep things cool but they keen them pure and wholesome. We give the following reasons on which we base our claims for the "North Star": The "NORTH-STAR" Re. frigerator Best For these Reasons: REMARKABLE WALL CONSTRUCTION 1st An outside case of hard wood: -d Dead air space: .'Id Lining of lioii-conduetin slieetiu"; 4tli a wall of granulated cork; 5th Limn of lioii-coihliirtiii"; sheeting; (Jth AVall of niateljed lumber; 7th a wall of ualvanicd steed and zinc 1.

The University of Illinois making an extended test of the "North Star" and two others of the best makes on th9 market, (that have Che mineral wool or charcoal insulation) showed that the "North Star" used from $3.00 to $8 00 less ice during the season or $80.00 less ice during the life of the refrigerator.
