WE have contracted with one of the largest coffee roasters on the Pacific coast for 20 000 lbs. of coffee for the coming year. This is probably the largest contract ever placed by a dealer in the state outside of the City of Portland. By placing such an order as this we have been able to get some exceptional values and we are goin- to give the people the benefit. If this coffee was put up in cans and labeled, it would cost at least $1200.00 additional and we see no reason why the consumer should pay this in order to advertise some manufacturer. w w E The Coffee that we formerly sold for 30c per lb., we will now sell regularly for 25c per lb. The Coffee that we formerly sold for 35c per lb., we will now sell regularly for 30c per lb. We have added a higher priced Coffee to sell for 35c per lb. We have added a Coffee to sell for 40c per lb. that we do not think can be dupli cated for the price. These Coffees are the best values that we can buy to sell for these prices and we expect to build up our reputation for good coffees on these brands. Try a pound at our risk and if you are and not entirely satisfied your money will be cheerfully refunded. To introduce these Coffees we will put them on'sale for one week only, commenc ing Friday at the following exceptionally low p. ices: Regular 25c Coffee, special per lb. - 22c I Regular 35c Coffee, special per lb. - 31c Regular 30c Coffee, special per lb. - 27c I Regular 40c Coffee, special per lb. - 34c FECIALS SATURDAY No Telephone Orders Accepted ON L Y Walnuts, No 1 New Crop, regular 22c, special per lb. 20c.

"It was a revelation to me, "he Raid, lifter having seen the great boulevard. "1 have Been the roads or caiitornia, niul have built many miles of highway in Texas and Mexico, but I have never seen anything like your hiKhway here. ' If l.oa Angelea had ouch a drive it would in sen an immediate increase of 100,000 in her population. "As un engineer, I paid particular uttentinn to the construction, and from an enigneering atandpoint, it is won derful. "1 waa Impressed with the economy of the construction. The location iB ideal, and in laying out the road Engin eer Lancaster hag combined economy of construction and scenic advantage. Nothing haa been lost. "then there ia the beauty of the bridges, wall work and culverts, both from an architectural and utilitarian standpoint. Everything fits into the general plan. There is economy and tttrength. It iB a great work." In Mr. Nunn's opinion, the road should be completed with a hard sur face next season. "It would be a great mistake," he said, "and poor economy to macadam ize it. Tho cost of maintenance would far exceed the interest on the money required to lay a pavement. There would also be a loss in converting ihe macadam surface into u base for the pavement, a much of it would have to bt thrown away. It has been my ex perience tli ut this loss ranges from 1! to f)() per cent. Besides, a base formed from an old macadam is net so satis factory as the bate laid ut tho time of paving. "1 should say that the pavement should be at least 18 feet wide. If you arc only going to have a width of lt feet, it might as well lu only 12 feet for traffic purposes. "Now as to the kind of pavement, it should be that which has proved to he the best on your city streets. It is a fact not generally appreciated that a country road requires a better pave ment than a city street. The reason for this is that the country road hus to sustuin a heavier loud without the curb protection given a street. In addition, the country road has not the drninafce and does not receive tho constant main tenance of the street." Randier Discusses Library Board November 2!!, I'.UI. Editor Glacier As one who for years has been a silent observer and ban kept out of the newspapers, 1 ask space to make a few remarks relative to o ir i library. 1 havo recently read a copy of the contract between the City of Hood liiver and the county concerning the management of the library, and it stems to mo that the provision for six representatives from the city (appoint ed by the city council) and only I hive from thu county, composed of the county court is not equitnle. It would seem that this board should consist of equal numbers from the city and Co. As the matter now stands it would be possible for our county court to be a hopeless minority. The vote just given Mr. lluwkcs for reelection as county commissioner in dicates very conclusively that a large majority of the voters of this county have confidence in the court. Why not give the court, which represents the county, the same representation as Use city has. Kaneheff "TRIAL BY JURY Will BE PRESENTED Catholic Church The first holy mass will be at 8 n. m.

Massee Discusses Road Master The following is a copy of a letter written by F. A. Massee to ti e com mittee recently appointed to conduct a campaign for a roadniaster : Good Honda Committee : Gentlemen: 1 received your postal relative to the appointment of a road muster. I think it a very good idea to have one, providing it doesn't cost too much. We have under our present sys tem of work for a roadniaster but CO to 90 days' work, therefore it wouldn't pav to hire a man tiy the year at five per cent, of $45,000. because, if that is the amount that the county is rais ing for road purposes, but about 50 per cent of it is spent on the road. Road tools, machinery, lumber, cul vert;", bridges, repair bills of the same, and salary of the road supervisors, and ninny other expenses usually come out of this amount. Therefore, you have not very much left to build roads with, and if you especially hire a high sal aried engineer for the term of one year. We have men here in our valley that are taxpayers and have the ability to run a level and superintend a rock ci usher and road grader and give a uni form system of road building, who do not depend wholly on a salary and could he hired for such work as the county court saw lit for their service. It won't pay to hire a road master un less we have $100,000 or more to spend on the roads. I have had six years' experience in Hood Kiver county building roads and realize what it is to have good roads and how soon our road supervisors can I spend what money they are allowed to ulraw from the county treasury. I Personally, 1 am in favor of a much I lamer mad tax. What we are now ex pending is barely keeping our roads in repair and they are in a very bad condi tion, generally speaking. If we should spend a much larger 1 J I A I II sum on the roaus anu nave mem wen improved we would be able to haul perhaps twice the amount with, the same power we are using now. We would lessen the cost of transportation and we would all be well repaid for the money expended, whereas we are now operating under the most expensive system. F. A. Massee. IKHiS!

Sinnott was in the city Saturday to visit with friends and to investigate the condition of Thomas Edwin Kel logg, an aged Civil war veteran, who has asked for an increase in pension. Mr. Sinnott made the journey at the request of members of Canby Post, G. A. R. "1 found Mr. Kellogg in a very bad condition," said Mr. Sinnott. "He is aged and deserves assistance." Mr. Sinnott, who has been in Wash ington attending sessions of congress almost continuously for the past two years, states that he rgreta that he has not had time to visit his constituents. "1 really think," he said, "that a congressman should spend at least three months of the year visiting his constituents. In order to secure legis lation that is needed one has to come in personal contact with the people to be affected. In all the homestead bills that 1 have introduced, I secured my points from suggestions made to me." While here Mr. Sinnott attended the banquet tendered the members of Group No. 1 of the State Bankers Association ami responded to a toast. LOCAL BANKERS HOSTS SATURDAY (Continued From Page One) 1M.M. tf The federal reserve board states that at the present time it is unwilling1 to define specifically what is or what is not commercial paper, because of the variety of forma under which it is is sued and the variety of purposes for which it is issued in various parts of the country. It has, therefore, decided that single name and double name pa per will for the present at least be eligible for rediscount with the federal reserve banks. This is not in accord ance with the European idea of .dis countable paper, but harmonizes with the present American practice so gen erally prevalent of accepting one name paper as a bankable security. After January 15, 1915, no paper shall be rediscounted or purchased by any federal reserve bank which does not hear unon its face or by endorse ment evidence that it is eligible for rediscount under the terms of the ; law and the rules and regulations pre scribed by the federal reserve board. Criticisms regarding the law such as 1 have mentioned should not be made with any intent to confuse or embar rass those responsible for its adminis tration, nor those whom it is intended to benefit; but the suggestion of them illustrates the necessity of a thorough and comprehensive interpretation of many provisions of the law by the fed eral reserve board, and shows the great repsonsibility resting upon it. In the law we have given to us a great piece of financial legislation, rad ically changing our system oi nnances, imposing new duties upon us, making possible new avenues of trade and com merce, and opening the way for this country to assume its place among the world's financial Dowers. In one enact ment there is created an association of 7548 individual members, creating I new caDital of $109,898,902. with rami fkations reaching to every part of the country, controlling the reserves, the discount rate, our foreign finances, and our gold supply, and whose importance and influence cannot yet be estimated. It remodels our national banks; it es tablishes a new market for our govern ment bonds : it standardizes commercial Dflne'r and makes a new and broader market for it. It creates a national clearing house for exchange. It creates a bank for banks, which, if properly regulated and developed, will create a continuous mart for rediscounts at all events and at all times. It offers a reserve note as a medium of circulation, which may ultimately supplant our varied forms of circula tion at present in use. It provides for a fiscal agent for the government. It affords a domestic market for gold coin and bullion, and a reliable agency for the transfer of coin. bullion, and credits to and from for eign countries. Its powers and posibliities are great and magnificent, and it should have our heartiest cooperation and sincere benediction. A Bankers' Convention Story The following story was told at the bankers' convention last Saturday: "A well dressed citizen who had ab sorbed too much gasoline to take a clear view of passing events, rambled down in front of the bank, where he saw several people enter the building clutching a wad of money. "For a moment the razzled party hx- edly watched the procession, and then taking a ten-spot from his pocket, he joined the jubilee. Inside, however, he round the line rather long and the wait a trirla tiresome. " 'Shay, old pal,' said the esteemed citizen, addressing the man ahead of him, 'zhey shertainly keep ush waitin' long time, doan zhey?' " 'Yes,' answered the other. 'I don't think I ever saw quite so many here at one time.' S " 'Shay, old pal,' said the esteemed citizen again, glancing toward the lone teller methodically working behind the counter, 'do you know whatcher trouble here?' " 'No,' indulgently rejoined the man ahead, 'I cant' say that 1 do.' " 'Zatch an easy one,' returned th hypnotized party. 'Zhey ain't got nuff bartenders.'" Surprises Many in Hood River The quick action of simple buckthonC bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Aide-i-ka, the remedy which became famous by curing appendicitis, is surprising Hood River people. Many have found that this simple remedy drains so much foul matter from the system that a single dose relieves constipation, sour stomach and gas on the stomach almost immediately. Alder-i-ka is the most thorough bowel cleanser ever sold. C. N. Clarke, Druggist. The Morlan-Kruger Co. The Morlan-Kruger Co.
