The Store that
Advertises

the Store that trade goes to, and the Store that trade goes

Hence, when we toll you that we never misrepresent our ft»
groceries, it is not alone because we do not believe in lying,
but we can’t afford to. We are told, and are thus given a
a right to reiterate it, that the customer who steadily buys
his groceries of us, comes out ahead of the fellow who buys
of our competitors.
This isOur Supreme Aim
A legitimate profit to us, a satisfied customer when he leaves
our store. Suppose you try W. & W.’s store long enough in
1899 that we may make you a customer far into the 20th
century.
Respectfully,

Some Notable Windows.
The Cowls memorial windows, three
in number, have been placed in position
in the new Christian church, Mr. D. L.
Povey of Portland, the manufacturer, be­
ing present the past week to superintend
tbe work. The aggregate cost of the
windows was $000, and they are tbe con­
tribution and pride of Mrs. Lucy Cowls.
The largest window is in the north end
of the building. Its center piece bears a
likeness of the Christ, beneath which is
inscribed

THE EVE.1T OF THE
M’ITllH
Committee met at 2 p. m. according to
adjournment. The chairman being ab­
sent the meeting was called to order by
the secretary and Hon. R. P. Bird was
made temporary chairman. The min­
utes of last meeting were read and ap­
proved. On motion of Mr. Cooper the
chairmen of the committees appointed
by the W. R. C. and the mayor were
made vice presidents of the general com­
mittee.
The committee appointed at
last meeting to arrange sub-committees
and define their duties made report, as­
signing tbe various committees to their
special work, and the report was adopted.
The general committee was made com­
mittee on reception, to wit: Rev. G. W.
Grannis, president; Mrs. Jennie Irvine,
1st vice president; Mayor McPhillips, 2d
vice president and treasurer; H. S. Ma­
loney, treasurer, J. C. Cooper, G. A.
Prentiss, R. P Bird, Mrs. Wyatt Harris,
Mrs. G. W. Keen, Mrs. M. E. Colby,
Mrs. M. A. Noll, Prof. Reynolds, Prof.
Northup, Elsia Wright and J. ,P. Irvine.
On motion of G. A. Prentiss the commit­
tee on campfires heretofore appointed by
the G. A. R. post and W. R. C. consist­
ing of the following persons: G. W.
Grannis, J. A. Peckham and J. E. Noll
from the G. A. R. post, Mrs. Irvine, Mrs.
Gault and Mrs. Keen from the W. R. O,
together with three other citizens to be
named at the next meeting of this com­
mittee, were made the committee on fi­
nance. On motiou of G. A. Prentiss the
chairmen of the three committees who
have defined the duties of the several
committees, were authorized toselect the
members of the remaining committees
and report same to this general commit­
tee at the next meeting. On motion of
J. C, Cooper all sub-committees were in­
structed to report from time to time to
the general committee so that all may
work together in harmony for the suc­
cess of the encampment. On motion of
J. C. Cooper the officers of this general
committee were made an executive com­
mittee to consist of five members. On
motion of G. A. Prentiss tbe committee
adjourned to meet at 2 o'clock p. m. Sat
urday March 4th, 1899.
Still below this is “Abide in Faith.” One
side window bears an anchor, the other
a cross and crown.
The choir window is in memory of the
only child of Judge and Mrs. Lucretia
Cowls. It bears a likeness of Christ
holding scroll with the inscription, “Suf­
fer little children to come unto me.” Be­
low this is
In memory of
MARY COWLS
Born Aug. 4, 1865, Died Feb 7, 1868.
This window is inlaid with vari-colored
pebbles picked up by the child while
playing on the ocean beach.
At the top of the rolling doors between
the auditorium and the lecture room are
three windows, one bearing the name of
“Frank Abram Powell, Pastor,” another
“Bernice and Wanda Nelson,” and a
third, “In memory of Mrs. N. A. Hem­
bree, by W. L. Hembree.” The east
windows of the auditorium are four in
number, gifts respectively of Mr. and
Mrs. C. A. Wallace, Henry Schenk, the
builder, Chas. Burgraf, the architect,
and Mr. and Mrs. Todd. The first bears
the emblem of a sheaf of wheat, the next
two, a harp, and the fourth a dove.
In the lecture room at the south and
east are memorial w indows, the south
being that of the C. E’e. It contains the
following: “I press toward the mark. Y.
P. S. C. E. For Christ and the church.”
Ou the east end Mrs. A. J. Warren has
a window in memory of her mother,
Mrs. Malinda Butler, and Mr. and Mrs.
A. J. Nelson have one in memory of their
daughter, Alice. The center window is
the gift of class No. 9, and is inscribed,
“From a child thou hast known the holy
scriptures, which are able to make thee
wise unto salvation through faith in
Christ Jesus.”
The new church will probably be dedi­
cated during the month of March, in con­
nection with a aeries of meetings. The
seats are now being varnished, and a
new carpet is expected to arrive in a few­
days for the auditorium. One unfortu­
nate thing about this church is, that the
absence of white glass in the windows
renders the auditorium very dark, even
on a clear day, and something will have
to be done to remedy it.

How true : The old must die and the
young may die. “Therefore, be ye also
ready, for in such an hour as ye think
not the Son of Man cometh.” Once
more the white-winged angel of death
has visited our neighborhood and plucked
the sweet little babe who was beloved by
all. To see him was to love him. Son
of Mr. Charles and Mary E. Taylor.
Little Ambery died Feb. 18th, 1899, be­
ing 8 months and 7 days old. While we
realize that his departure is a great loss
to father, mother, brothers and sisters,
being their first bereavement, we mu«t
bow in hnmble submission to the will of
Him who is too wise to err and too good
to Lie unkind, for we feel assured that
the little jewel has changed the sorrows
and sufferings of earth for the repose
and happiness of heaven. We ex­
tend to the bereaved family our deepest
sympathy, and hope that goodness and
mercy may sustain them in their great
affliction.

redeemer liveth.” On each side window
is the figure of an angel in the attitude of
prayer, one with the inscription, “God

A l.urge Party in Georgia Ha*
Heard ot Oregon's t.reaine**.
II. C. Edgerton, agent at Trion Fat-
tory, Ga., for the Chattanooga, Rome &
Southern R. R. Co., has written a local
citizen here saying that there are several
parties in that town who expect to conte
to Oregon this summer or early in the
fall, and desire information ip regard to
laud aud the best place to locate. The
party seems to be lookiug for government
land to homestead. The letter has been
referred to The Reporter. We would
say to Mr. Edgertcn concerning vacant
public laud in Oregon, that the choicest
of it is occupied. The total area of pub­
lic land in the state unappropriated, un­
reserved, surveyed and unsurveyed ag­
gregates 35,897,896 acres, out of a total
of 61,626,218 acres in the state. To a
resident of a comparatively level state in
the east this would sound like it big op­
portunity for settlement. But it must
he remembered that tbe vacant land is
for the most part sage brush desert or
snow covered and barren mountain land.
It it hasn’t this character, it is heavily
timbered and precipitous, and not well
calculated for farming. Of this thirty-
five million acres over 28,000 acres lie in
this county and belong to the heavily
timbered class. Perhaps the residents
of tbe turpentine land of Georgia would
lie reasonably satisfied to locate in the
midst of dense forests and begin the la-'
borious work of clearing a farm, but it
should be undertaken with the expecta­
tion that it would occupy the best of a
lifetime. One thing is true about all
this unoccupied land in Oregon, where a
farmer can get a foothold be has a soil
of unsurpassed richness. If it be tim­
bered mountain land aud he can clear it,
the land will be highly productive. The
same is true of the desert land if it can
be irrigated. The best way to come to
Oregon is with a little stake sufficient to
buy a farm, large or small, which is al­
ready improved and ready to bring re­
turns for the investment. These can al­
ways lie had at a reason able figure, say
front $10 to $100 per acre. That uttei-
ance of scripture, “The poor ye have al­
ways with you,” applies to Oregon as
other states, and when we go fishing for
immigration we always make it a point
to advise the new comer to bring money
with him. This will enhance the pros-
jierity of the country by making business
for the poor we ttlreudy have. The great
need of this country is institutions to
work up raw products that can be grown
here, and thus employ the people and
make business. Among these are woolen
factories, fruit canneries and driers,
creameries, flouring and lumlter mills,
tanneries and packinghouses. Nocounty
in the state offers greater inducements
for capital seeking profitable investment
than Yamhill county.
