AGENTS AND THEIR PRICES, We would impress these two things upon your minds; 1st, the dealer cannot afford to be crooked with you he ex pects to sell you more goods right along. Second, the up to date dealer does and can afford to give you more for your' money than the man on the wagon can afford to give you. It costs close to $20 per machine on an average, to sell Sewing Machines from wagons. We formerly thought differently, but three years trial with the best men we could get convinced us1 that this is very nearly correct. This is about four times what it costs us to sell them from the store, even if we do have to pay taxes, chip in on Fourth of July celebrations, fairs and the hundred and one things needed to build up the community. We have good reason to believe that ranges cannot be sold from wagons at much smaller expense than sewing machines. This in most cases is more than our selling expense and profit combined. 'Tis said that "Dis tance lends enchantment to the scene," but not so when things go wrong, as they are bound to now and then. The dealer is in easy reach, and such matters are easily and quickly rectified. We know we are in a position to save you money on both machines and ranges and yet give you goods that are Really Superior to those sold from wagons. When Mr. Peddler eomes, see what he has, get his price and then put him off until you can investigate. This costs you noth ing will save you money. If you don't think we are all right after you have seen our goods and learned our price, you can still buy the other fellow's goods, but you will not if you see what we are doing. BUCK'S STEEL RANGE has no equal. That's not mere talk, but facts. If you will give us a chance to show you the range, you will agree with us. Costs nothing to look, and less that peddler's prices should you decide to buy.

All tbe latest appliances are employed to please customers and satisfy the public. Tbe regulations of the state law . gov erning barber shops, in luding perfect systems of sterilization and sanitary con ditions, are strictly complied with, and the progressive spirit of Mr. Parker is to be guaged by tbe equipment of his place of business. All tools and ap pliances are modern and up-to-date. The equipment of this popular shaving par lor includes new and expensive fixtures; air pressure contrivance, two bath rooms, hot and cold water, massage apparatus, center wash stand, hatracks, etc. A new and attractive sign is notic able in front of this handsome new shop, and once you are within you feel like tarrying after you have received your shave. In the upper story is situated some elegantly furnished rooms. The pro prietor of the Ft. Nichols, Mr. J. E. Froome, has fitted up these rooms at considerable expense, and in connection with other improvements in tbe way of alterations, painting decorating and appering the rooms of the main hotel building, he has parted with a consider able Bum of money this season. Tbe rooms in question are large, well venti lated and situated to best advantage of guests. The furniture is first-class and high-grade Brussels carpet has been used for the floors. The beds are the best that money can procure. Will Wells opened his "Corner" saloon this morning, in the new Stahl building, corner of Main and Third. His fixtures are in keeping with the attractive appearance of the new home of the "Corner." Mr. Wells went to Portland and personally selected the fixtures which are elegant in the ex treme. The bar is 18 feet in length and the back bar has four huge pillar sup ports, finished in band carved wood work. Only i portion of the fixtures have arrived, but when they do, Mr. Wells will certainly have a fine saloon. Walla Walla, Washington.
