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. Piano Votes will be i vn during the Sale the same as any other time
AMONG the Lines we will Close Out, In skies Cnuct ios, will he Misses and Children's Coats,
some lines of Ladies' Coats and Suits, Waists, Underwear, Corsets, some lines of Dress Goods.
(All Remnants will be half-price. ) Lines of Men's. Women's and Children's Shoes, Men's and
Boy's Overcoats and Trousers, broken lines of Men's and Hoy's Underwear and Shirts, Boy's Suits.Etc.
We are going to make a Genuine Clean Up and be in shape to
stock up with Complete New Lines for next season in
Reliable Lines of Men's Fimiishings, Shoes, Etc.
No Phone Orders will be taken on Sale Goods. No Phone Orders
on the days we will be closed. Wednesday and Thursday
we will need all our time to arrange the stock. De
liveries will be made in the city as usual until
Groceries are sold out.

COMPANY
JIOSIER DISTRICT HAS
HANDSOME HOMES
"I u very much impressed with
the many beautiful borers 1 saw in the
Moaier district." says A. D. 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.

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

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.

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.

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.
