THIS GREAT SALE WILL END SOON. HAVE YOU
BEEN IN?
Our ambition io nmko this such a sale as would go down
in tbo history of Mcdford is being realized. :'''
'Nothing- Ave have ever done litis created half the interest
that this tremendous price cutting event is creating. J.
The entire store is in the hands of our customers and .'7
friends. v
Our stock of goods is daily, growing smaller.
Secure some token and remember this sale in your own
home.
Tlie surprise and astonishment has been hot so much
at the uniform high cjiiality of every article in tin's store
quality seems to be taken for granted as at the aston
ishing low prices and the immense assortments.
Of course5 the assortment iu our store is not so great as
it was three weeks ago, but it still contains a great many
. fine bargains, that cannot be found elsewhere in this part
of the state.
It is safe to assert that no one ever saw such great val

the opportunity again.
Come in early tomorrow or as soon as possible, for you
may miss the article you have been planning to buy.

AMENDMENT OFFERED
ON CANADIAN TREATY
WASHINGTON, D. C, Fob. 18.
An amendment to tho Canadian rec
iprocity measure intended to placo
tho tariff on an ad valorem bnsls was
offered in tho senato this afternoon
by Senator Jones of Washington.
Jones contended that every article, on
tbo dutiable list should bo assessed
at a percentage of Its value equal to
a proportionate sharo on that article
of tho customs receipts necessary tP.
maintain tho government. Jones
said ho had no dcslro to remove tho
necessary protection on auy article,
but ho felt that tho interests concern
ed in tho production of any article
should pay according to tho value ot
their product.
Perhaps most of your "bad luck"
consists in failing to nnswor tho
