Monday lie refused an advance of $1000, And so it gocR all around town. There is an active demand for choice residince proierty, which, an the Hpular taste no govs, must be within at least three blocks of the intersection of Granite and Mill, the two business streets, but this must necessarily be a mere passing fancy, for there are not to day a half dozen lots that fultill this re quirement which are offered for sale. At present no one seems to want to buy "outside" procrty, which meant' lots a half doeu blocks removed from the buslne center. It is a mere matter of time, however, when these ,too, will sell for a fair price. hats at A DOZEN DIFFERENT WAYS. When the ordinary citizen intends to go east, or send for friends or relatives to come west, the choice of routes is a question that always bothers him. He wants to know if the same route he used once, sometime ago, makes the same time, same connections, if the price is the same, if it eots the same to go east as it did to come west. Possibly, ho has heard or read of famous siiuts of interest in the west or middle west that he over looked on the trip be made. Did not see them liecauHcd be had not time; did not know be could for the same money; did not know he could gut a stoMvor. There are hundreds of questions he would like to have asked, many things he would liked to have seen, and many accommodatioiiH he could have enjoyed, only, he did not have time to look into the subject, and it was too much bother anyway. Here is a suggestion that rill save you all that trouble, vexation and re gret. The Illinois Central Itailroad company runs east and south from St. Paul, Omaha and St. Louis, and north from New Orleans. At these (mints, it connects with all the western trunk lines, and through them, with all their western connections. The Illinois Central does not care which line you use in the west, northwest, central west or southwest, liecause it connects with all of them, and is absolutely impartial to all. All you have to do is to drop ur n note ; tell us your destination and start ing point. Is there anything in the whole glorious west that you want to see on the way? Mention it. We will ar range for it if it can m done. Perhaps you will want a stopover. We will ar range that too if it is Hissible for any one to do it. .lust make a suggestion as to the western line and we will elabor ate it for you ; tell you the time you should start, when you should arrive at destination, what accommodations you will enjoy, what it will cost you, an itinerary for the trip, and will do any thing that we H)sslbly can to make your journey pleasent and comfortable. 'Hint's what we are here for. Wo have headquarter in Portland; agents in Portland and Seattle, and traveling agents that will come and talk it over with you any time and at any place in the northwest without it costing you a cent more than a postage stamp. Chicago business is a specialty with ua, but we have our own rails in a dozen different states east of St. Paul, Omaha and New Orleans, and can ticket you U these gateways over a dozen different routes. Write ua. By the way, do you want a nice wall map of the United States, Cuba and Porto Rice? Send me six cents to pay postage. H. H. Tkumrui.l, Commercial Agent III. Cent. K.
