Mr. Straiii ' Is the Boss What he says Goes. There is no Appeal from his Judgment, and although the Sacrifice will be unpar- alied in the Clothing trade of this city, as told to do . - ., . . . BEGIN THE SLAUGHTER! In this connection we are aware that competitors will smile at the statement that we are cutting our former stupendously low prices in two parts and selling goods now at one-half the figures we havebeen charging since the arrival of these goods-i-prices not greater than one-third to one-half local merchants asked for garments and Men's Furnishings of similar quality and that they will endeavor to persuade our friends that our promise in this inrtance will not be made good. We therefore make' this , offer to every reader of these words: If you will come to our store, examine our price marks,' examine the goods also, and find that this advertisement is not Absolutely True in every syllable, word or sentence, then we will present every such caller with a choice; of any suit of clothes, overcoat, top coat or any other article or thing in "our establish- ,1 ment free of Every Charge Whatever. And if any merchant doubts these figures or ':, disputes the statements herein contained, and if such merchant will come to' our store, -investigate for himself, and conclude in his own mind from what he has discovered, and -"so inform us that these statements are not true, then we Will pay SUCh merchant $50 for his trouble. . Word Written Were is True , Every WE V We are compelled to raise more money this month than we have in sight, hence we have resorted to this expedient to accomplish this. It is a forced put. MR. , STRAIN-cannot help himself, and as he has sold enough of this Colorado vr stock, anyway, to more than pay for it, he will not be a great loser, even at this tro ' " mendous sacrifice. But for the fact that the money he received for these goods was immediately invested in another stock, which will arrive during the month, he would ' not have been compelled to make this slaughter. But he is making it, and every man on the North Pacific Coast ought to take advantage of his predicament. ',' , All mail orders received will be filled at these prices. , '. ' - . . '..,.:-;" The Clothing is suitable for any season of the year, but there is a large quantity of heavy weights most appropriate for fall and winter wear. Men may now secure a first class suit of heavy winter garments, sold everywhere at $25 to $35, for one-quarter " ' their worth at this sale. t ; . . ' : ! . . Come therefore' and get your share of these bonanza offerings. ; Come while they ''.'. may be had. Don't wait till Mr. Strain has changed his mind, and countermanded his ,1, . half-price order. 1 It is a Wonderful Opportunity. You will never have a Chance like1 this again.

FRUIT FAIR ON OCT. 13, 14, 15 Hood Kivi-r will In W the 6th bii'iinial fmit (air Tlnu wlay, h riilay and Satur day, Ortolier I .'I, 14 and 15. This is the date wt by thn assrKriation at a meeting o( tlie nienibeiHat the rooms of the Commercial club laat Saturday afternoon. The meeting wnn the larg est of the kind ever held, and indicates a determinati'Mt to make the fair surpasi anything in that line ever pefore nuiler , taken by the people of Hood River, and they have held some very successful fruit fain. Mr. Smith called the meetirg to or der, and the former secretary secured a record of the proceedings. In taking the chair Mr. Smith remarked that the meeting wbb very encouraging. He said he remembered the time when Mr. 8lingerland and himself were, the only two men to respond to the published notice of a fair meeting. They went ahead and held a fair just the same. As to the finances of the association Mr. Smith said there was something like $27 left on his hands by tlm former treasurer, Mr. Slingerland. At the time of the Grand Army encampment, the general committee of the encampment finding alout $50 worth of lumber on their handa offered the fair association . the lumber for $20. Mr. Smith took it upon himself to buy the lumber, saying if the association did not rare to take it he would. t. J. Oessling reported a balance of $7.05 In the treasure and on motion the association agreed to take the lumder Mr. Smith had purchased. Mr. Smith thought it well to decide whether or not the farmers wished to hold a fair. When the Ore gon Press association adjourned at Salem last year they did so with the understanding that they were to meet this year at Hood River, at the time of the biennial fruit fair here. Further more Mr. Hmith said he never knew he apples of the valley to be making a better showing, and everything indicat ed that if a fair was undertaken it would bv the biggehikind of a success. On motion of Mr. Baker it was decid ed to hold the fair. f The date for the fair was the next consideration, and on motion the 13th, 14th ml 15tli of October were selected a the time most suitable, considering the condition of the weather at the time of the year, the condition of the fruit and the approach of the busy season when every one in Hood River will be busy picking and packing the immense crop of apples. On motion of Mr. Baker it was then de cided to pines the control of the fair in the hands of a ways and means com mittee of 20 people. On motion of H. F. Davidton, President Smith, (i. J. Oessling and Cfhris Dethman were ap pointed to select this ways and means committee. There were some suggestions ai to the place for holding the display and the meeting adjourned. Mr. Smith said he had given the matter tome little thought and he lelieved that the plan of booths, as is followed at the street carnivals in Portland and The Dalles, would be just the thing, and the matter of expense for a building woidd lie greatly lessened. Mr. Davidson thought this should be1 left with the committee, as was done. The members of the ways and means committee for the fruit fair are : Hood hiver E. L. Smith, Chris Dethi man, G. J. Oessling, H F. Davidson, H. R. Tucker, F. G. Church, Joe Porter, G. R. Caetner, V. J. Baker, A. . Ma son, Mrs. C. . Markham, E. H. ' Shep ard, F. H. Cash, Mrs. G. P. Crowell, Mrs. J.

Amos Underwood the old pioneer and Indian fighter from the north side of the Columbia, was in town Monday. Uncle Amos is an old time democrat and one of the kind you can bet on, but he says he wont vote for Parker. If it were not for the state election at the s.".me lime he says he wouldn't go near the poles on election day.. There is too much gold standard and "Ea.slernism" about the gentlemen from Eopus to suit the plain, western democracy of Amoi I nder wood. Miamania county used to be democratic, but Mr. Under wood says be doesn't believe the demo cratic nominee for the "presidency will poll single vote in the whole county this fall. Amos was formly a strong, supporter and admirer of . Senator Turner, hit. he says from what he can learn, Tu'n r swung onto the Parker band waguii at St. Loui with a little too much alacrity to please-o'l Amos, and he has an idea he would like some one else nominated for Governor - of Washington than the Bpokane million air. ' And Still The Wonder Grows. L J. Klinger and wife together with Henry Williams and wife made the tour of the Hood Kiver country f last week looking for blackberries, dsn and recre ation, says the Dufur Dispatch. Louis is filled with the wonders of that sction and tells stories a told him by the in habitants thereof tbat would stagger iuliver. These storiea were about all the filling they got as they got no ber ries and but few fish. The country is settled with all formi ot humanity speaking many tongues "and showing the characteristic! of many nations Mr. Klinger says they are blowing out stamps with powder that in places sounds like heavy cannonading. On man is reported to have bought 20 tons of powder to clear his farm.' Another man reports that he baa been offered one thousand dollars per sera for his ranch. i :i j ' .
