All communications should be addressed to h e PRESS Atbena, Oregon ATHENA, JANUARY 6, 1905 A London cablegram reports that ap pearances indicate tbat the Marl boroughs "are poorly off financially" this year. It is not meant by that that the duke has come down to smoking two cent cigars or tbat the duchess must "do her own work," but that the couple bave been going at too swift a financial gait and retrenchment is needed. After all, wealth is very largely a relative matter. The man who earns $1000 a year and lives well within his income is generally better off than the profligate who squanders 8100,000 a year when his income is but $50,000. The best part of wealth is the easy feeling it imparts, and many a modest fellow gets more of that easy feeling out of a $1000 income than titled spendthrifts can extract from a million. Justice Harry Barnes, recently elected in Asbury Park, announces that for, two months he will marry all couples free, He also promises, in addition to remit ting the usual fee, to give a pair of baby shoes to every child - born to every couple he unites in marriage in the two months. He does not draw the line at twins or triplets, but generously pro vides for what ever may come along and without reference to race or color. The only requisite is tbat when the time comes the happy mother shall display a certificate proving she was married by the justice in the period named. It doesn't matter how many years hence the promise has to be fulfilled, baby will get the tootsies. According to reliable European au thorities, the colonizing nations in Africa may soon face the unspeakable horrors of a native revolt from one end of the big continent to the other. This land of mysteries and superstitions, of innumerable tribes, each with its own peculiar tribal government and its de votion to the traditions of the inscrut able past, has been subjugated, but not conquered. So long as they regard the Europeans as usurpers and interlopers there will be the distinct menace of a gigantio race conflict, in which the millions of inimical tribes will forget their differences to combine against the common Caucasian foe. Senator Mitchell and "our" Dinger will have to answer in the federal court to charges connecting them with fraud ulont land deals. Mitchell says its i d -n lie and Uinger says its an outrage. Others high in official life have been spotted and will soon be in the grasp of the mailed hand of the government. A scorching shaking up is the edict that has gone forth and through the sieves of justice, the droppings in the process of Alteration may fall on the great as well as the small ones. In the adjustment of the street open ing matter both the city and the rail road company respected the interests and rights on the two sides of the ques tion and acted with judgment. Athena gets her streets opened and the com pany attains its object. "Where there is a will there is a way" in all affairs of men. Japanese of the fruits of their victory. Now Japan has come into possession of her own. The rest of the war will be fought to decide whether she shall re tain the historic and bloody fortress.

King Peter had better get in the storm cellar. The impeachment of federal Judge Swayne, of Florida, is the first to be tried in the United States senate since 1877, when Secretary Belknap was im peached but acquitted.

Whereupon Russia' intervened and plundered the One of the nicest things about French duels is that even the innocent by standers don't get hit Even Wood and "us could enjoy a "source ' such as that! The "simple life" has its charm, doubtless, but do its advocates mean to tell us that the man is happiest who is simply alive?

Oregor - For the eighth time we inaugurate this great bargain evertt the greatest of the entire vear, to which hundreds of practical, economical people have learned to look forward to and plan for; x to make as many needed purchases as possible during tnis great bargain festival. Richer than ever before will be the bargain picking this year, for the stocks in every department will be well nigh complete." Every department is full of bright, new goods, which have only just been received; but no matter how desirable these goods are or how hard it will be to replace them, our set policy demands that must be reduced bsfore stock taking time, and this year, owing to our grand collections of rare bargains we expect to break our former records of "January Sales." It is hardly necessary for us to remind anyone of th uniform reasonableness of our. prices, of the fact that all our goods are marked in plain figures, or that all price reductions advertised by us are real, bona fide reductions. The price on every article in this store, except BisseH'n Carpet Sweepers, and Buck's Stoves and Ranges on which the manu factures insist on regular prices being maintained, and . which articles are sold at a very small profit is cut either 10, 15, 20, 25, $3 1-3, 40 or 50 per cent. The price cuts average deeper this year than ever before, while the assortments in most cases are larger. Call and look through our store. You are always welcome.
