Z3 liS t OUR 1IES and a Num Dry Goo er of lines of and S noes riiE REASON Our Business has Grown to such an extent that for lack of room to properly handle our present lines, we are forced to make some radical changes. The course we have decided upon has been' made after careful consideration over a long period of time. The records we have kept show such large gains in Ladies' Ready to Wear, Dry Goods, Men's Furninishings and Shoes that it is absolutely necessary to have more room to handle this increasing business pioperly, and for that reason we will DISCONTINUE GROCERIES ALTOGETHER, as well as Several Lines of Dry Goods and Shoes, and thus be able to give more time, attention and room to the lines we will continue to carry. The present Grocery Room will lie devoted exclusively to Men's Wear. We will have more to tell you about this later on. Mr. (Burt) Graham will be on hand to look after your interests. The Terms of this Sale will Be Strictly Cash (Under no circumstances can any exceptions lie made to this rule.) The prices on Groceries and the Other Lines we are Closing Out will be Low Enough to make it well worth your while to pay cash, Those lines will be segregated and and plainly marked, so there will be no confusion or misunderstanding. THESE GOODS WILL POSITIVELY BE SOLD OUT AT GREATLY REDUCED PRICES, WITHIN A VERVSHORJ TIME. Tad Discount Checks will not be jfivon oa Grocories or the Other Lines we are Closing Out.

Moe, bo with Mrs. Moe spent Sunday there visiting with Mr. and Mn. J. K. Mc Gregor. "The community wears an air of prosperity and the growers are completing the harvest of a fine crop of apples. "The Moaier Fruitgrowers' Associa tion has made more stringent rules re garding the grading and picking of ap ples arid ia improving the standard of all grades and placing only the choicest fruit on the market. The high stand ard, together with the lalxl that has been adopted by the association, in sures the consumer of Mosier apples against inferior goods. "We drove with Mr. and Mrs. Mc Gregor in their automobile to Ortley, where Devlin & Firebaugh have devel oped a large tract. Ibey have 800 acres set to trees there. The Ortley Inn, recently completed, is one of the handsomest country hotels that I have seen. We had dinner here and later went up to the point where Col. Gard ner, recently retired, has purchased a home, lie has beautified the grounds extensively. No surrmer home in Ore gon has a finer outlook than Col. Gard ner's. He commands a broad view down the Columbia and one standing at his place can see the ribbon-like stream twisting among the narrow gorges of The Dalles far above the city by that name. "Col. Gardner ia the man planning the construction of the tramway to Ko wena, the station on the U-.W. R. & N. line. By wagon road the distance to Rowena is about three miles and over rather steep roads. '1 he tramway will cut this distance in two and will give the residents of Ortley a means of transporting their products to the rail way station and of bringing up sup plies for a very small expense. "The tramway will probably be fin ished by next spring. Col. Gardner will spend the winter in Portland with his family, and will construct a fine home in the Bpring, on the bluff which rises nearly 20(10 feet above the Colum bia river. "The Ortley orchard people are now harvesting their 450 acres of potatoes, which are yielding from 35 to 4U sucks to the acre. Some of the tubers will be put into pits. However, the greater number of them have been sold in Portland, as fast as the crew of Indians has been able to dig them, for 1 per bag. "After we came down from Ortloy we stopped at Mayerdale, the country home of Mark Mayer. 1 had expected to see something fine, from the tales I had heard of this place, but nothing half so beautiful as the rich coloniul mansion, with its while columns gleaming in the afternoon autumn sun and its surrounding handsome pergolas, where Mr. Mayer was busy contriving some new means of pleasing the eye of his guests or to make them more com fortable." High School Happenings A committer composed of Kuth Har ris, John Allen, Leonard Howard and Marie Uartmess, one member from each class, covered the classes Monday and received donations totaling $250. A few of the students have not had a chance to help yet, and with the money raised by the senior class at the county institute dinners, this will probably be raised to $300, which is in a fair way toward the $500 the high school pledged toward a gymnsium. The boys also signed up the number of hours each could help per week. This totals 250 hours per week. This looks like the gymnasium is to be a probability. The junior class is planning a party to be held at the Cooper ranch on the East Side Friday, Nov. 14. Three wagons will be used to transport the participants to. the scence of the ? The chorus is well orangized and do ing ellicient work this year. It meets on Monday and Wednesday of f'ench week. Mrs. Henney is instructor, Kuth Harris, president; Elizabeth Carson, secretary ; Gertrude Stanton, treasurer of the club. Forty-eight girls are tak ing the chorus work, for which, if in terest is taken, each receives one-half credit. Tonight is the regular meeting of the literarj society, but on account of the vacation the meeting has been post poned until Nov. 13. The trip to Prineville, where the foot ball team was going to collide with the team of that place, has been called olf. The team plays Washington high school team here Friday, Nov. 14. Jack SutthohT will start to school next Mon day and he will greatly strengthen the team. Coach Colby has dispensed with quarter and now has four men lined up in the rear. Hob Bragg, of last year's class, who quit school and failed to graduate with his class, has returned to school. Fred Coshow, who quits, in tending to enter school at Portland, has also returned. Wilson Yowell, of the junior class, has been forced to quit school to work in the harness shop during his father's illness. .. .tf.Tt,. ..T..T..T..T.iTi.TnT.iTi iTm'iiT .1 I y I t i r I I I I rr I I i V i rV nT l I VT t FI.NS, FIRS AM FEATHERS t-I"l"I1'l'l"M"M"I"l"I"I"I"H"l"H"l"H-- The season for shooting deer and up land game birds ended last Friday, Oc tober 31, and after that date it was unlawful for one to have in his posses sion pheasant, quail, grouse or deer meat, unless it had been properly sealed and tagged by a representative Of the state game department.

Just Little Stories A prominent local citizen, who has always been the possessor of a fine mustache, recently made a sacrifice of the hirsute adornment. His appear ance was changed a great deal. While he was sitting in a cbsir at one of the , local hotel talking to a friend, another friend seeing him, said: "Who is the. man over there? It looks just like; Mr. ," giving the name of the man ' who had lost his mustache, himself. ; Worm Damage W2a Walla Crop Dam.ee done bv worms to the aprle crop cf the valley will rut the yield 20 per rent. Manager H. G. Bart, of the Walla Walla Fruit Distributors, ; sayt. The central agency wai planning j on an output of 125 carloads from the ! Milton-Freewater district and now but J 100 carloads are figured on. The apple shipments have com menced and the crop will be ruthed to market as rapidly as possible. Prices 1 will be better than last year.the better quailty apples bringing from fl.Ua to ! $2 a box, though the average price will probably be about $1.25 net to the grower. The Grande Rondp valley and the Toucbet and Dayton disricts have not as heavy damage from wurms, but the Yakima valley ia worse than Walla Walla, Manager Barnes states. Toast to Laughter Here's to laughter, the sunshine of the soul, the happiness of the heart, the leaven of youth, the privilege of purity, the echo of innocence. the treas ure of the humble, the wealth of th powerful, brad cf tbe cup of pleasure: it dUrls dejection, for it ia tbe foe ol woe. the destrover of depression, the enemy of grief : it w why env the peseants, plutocrats envy the poor, the guilty eny the innocent: it's the shien on the silver smiles, the ripple on the water's delight, the glint of the gold of gladneds ; without it humor would be dumb, wit would wither, dimples would disappear and smiles would shrivel, fur it's the glow of clean conscience, the voice of mirth, the swan song of sadness. Life. Rubber Stamp Ink at this ollice. Baseball days are over and one no longer hears the batting averages dis cussed around the fire at the Hotel Ot egon; for the winter cribbage tourna ments are on. H. C. Dalton, J. H. Fredricy, Louis Goodenherger and Joe G. Vogt keep the pegs clicking in the counters there almost every night. When postmortems prevail, the name of Joseph A. Wilson and remarks as to how he would have played the game are often heard. T- v Co-operation This is a new line of advertising that we are go ing to display from time to time to keep you posted about our store. In this column we will chronicle all the news events of the week. We bel ieve our ads are read - in fact, we KNOW they are read, because people come to our store every day and tell us so. A mere declaration of price and description of our goods would perhaps not interest you. We want to make this column so interesting"J;hat you will look for it every we'k. We want to create an interest that will remind you to call and see our new goods and we want you to call whenever you feel like it. We don't urge you to buy, but it's a mighty good policy to get a line on your future needs, and see that we have it in stock when you want it. We'll get it now, and hold it till you're ready for it. We can help you and you can help us provided we co-operate. Take for instance in the matter of credit. Werealh that the fruit growers get their money once a year but we often help a man who hasn't the cash, by giving him his wagon, or plows or harrows, and tak ing his note for a reasonable time. We make a small profit, and he gets the tools right at the time when he needs them. Then sometimes a customer gets into trouble with a gas engine, or a spray pump we are johnny-on-the-spot with our service. He in turn speaks a good word about us to his neighbor. That lays the foundation for us for a future sale. Besides it helps you out of your immediate trouble. That's co-operation. A short time ago a friend called at our store and told us about a neighbor of his who had purchased a plow from us, but was not satisfied with it. The plow would not scour in his kind of soil. Now instead of coming to us and tellinir us about his trouble, he has kept the plow, rather than make a complaint. We are naturally "in bad" with that cus tomer, and only want a chance to make good. We have advertised so many times that whenever we sell a plow and it doesn't scour, that we would exchange it for a new one, or refund the money, that we thought every man, woman and child in the country must know of this policy. Naturally, this policy is a source of loss to us, but it is- less of a loss than to be "in bad" with this good customer. So, we are long headed enough to realize the folly of getting in bad. We are writing this friend today, and telling him our side of the story, asking him to give us a chance to make good. Cii'tcinc in Bad J&Si Draft rnimv r ays, The Township Board had a meetin' last week to decide on their requirements for the comin' year. Bill Jones heard about the meetin' yesterday and recol lected that he had seen some road machinery listed in a catalogue of a company whose line he was sellin'. He told the commissioners that he could get 'em all the tools they needed, but they informed him that they had placed their order a week ago. Bill 'lows as how a feller has got to be all fired pert now adays to get all the business that's comin' to him. Gilbert Implement Co., "The store with a conscience"
