In order to protect our customers as far as possible we bought a carload of sugar at a fairly low price. To dispose of this
quickly we are going to let our customers have it on the basis of what it cost us instead of the present market, when bought in con
nection with other goods. If you need sugar now or soon, now is the time to buy it and your other goods and make a substantial
saving. Our price on this sugar will be as follows:
One sack sugar $6.75 when bought in connection with $10.00 worth of other goods.
One sack sugar $7.00 when bought in connection with $5.00 worth of other goods.
The above prices are for spot cash with order. If charged the price will be 50 cents higher.
Our straight price on sugar will be $7.55 cash and $7.80 credit when not bought in connection with other goods.
These prices are not guaranteed for any certain length of time, and as we have but one carload for the four stores you had
better get yours while the supply lasts. Beet sugar 20 cents less in all cases.
SCHOOL BOOKS
For the convenience of customers we will carry school books at three stores:
Pine Grove, Kockford, and Stone Store and will also carry a full line of school
supplies at these three stores. School books are handled under contract and the
price is the same any place you buy them. We think you will find it quite con
venient to net them at your nearest store.
ADVANCED ON FEED
All feed has advanced in price and our new prices are as follows:
Harley $1.00
Shorts 1.15
Bran .80
Middlings 1.45
Flour . 1.50
These are c.sh prices, book prices 10c per sack higher except flour.

Cheese, regular 22c, special 20c lb. Gold Dust, regular 25c, special 19c
Almonds, regular 25c, special 20c lb. Watermelons, reg. 2c, special 1 lb.
Reduction on Peanut Butter
We now buy our peanut butter in such large quantities that we are able to
reduce the price from 18c to 15c per pound. You will find it economy to use pea
nut butter in the bulk and help reduce the high cost of living.

CALKS NEEDED TO

Rarely a day passeB that one or more
teams may lie seen in trouble on the

It is interesting to note thatone of

William Stewart, one of Hood Kiver
county's most enthusiastic sportsmen,
who devotes much time toward the
protection of local game and who as
sisted in securing the restocking of lo
cal streams last year, has been recent
ly catching somo fine salmon trout.
Mr. Stewart's friends declare that he
is lucky. Hut he is an experienced
fisherman and can land a good catch
when the amateur cannot get a bite.
Jack rabbits are readv to mrre wiih
General Sherman. An eastern Oregon-
lan nas written to (..overnor West pro
posing that jack rabbits be slain and
canned, the writer declaring that east
ern Ort'gon was full of the long eared
bunnies and that all that was needed
to bring some enterprising man wealth
was a cannery. "They will be line
food for the contending armies," the
cannery promoter declared. Governor
West has taken no action on the mat
ter. A movement is on foot to have the
State Came and Fish Commission close
Lost Lake to fishermen for a season
or two. Last year the commission
stocked the lake with steelhead and
rainbow fry. The young tish are now
about four or live inches long and bite
readily at a bait or lly. It is impos
sible to keep from catching them when
fishing on the lake now, and mar.y of
the fish will be destroyed.
Such matters are in the
of a rod ami gun club, an organization
needed by Hood Kiver. Local sports
men are agitating such a club now. It
is needed to protect local game and
fishing and to promote matters for the
welfare of sportsmen here.

Kobert H. Husbands recently re
truned from a week's outing at Gov
ernment springs, located in the moun
tains at an elevation of 1,200 feet just
north of Collins springs. "Although
the resort is not very well known to
the public," says Mr. Husbands, "it is
one of the best places 1 have ever vis
ited. The accommodations are the best.
Their guests are fed well and the sur
rounding country forms a fine retreat
for the man who wants to hunt and
rest and at the same time drink the
benectiial waters of the springs. Fish
ing is good and the resort bids fair to
become popular."
Fishing is good up the Hood river.
