In the beginning it was our good fortune to put our hands 'on two Immense
stocks of goods from parties who were anxious to retire and had plenty to
retire on. We strained our credit and MADE GOOD. The undertaking was
a big one and the manner in which we handled it placed us before the great
merchants board, and mercantile companies of the! east as a safe reliable
firm. Now they want to sell us goods. The bsst and biggest factories want
to sell us goods. They bid for our- business and offer us values that few others
get. We are on the jobbers list therefore we buy cheaper. We are econom
ical in our store management, therefore we can sell cheaper. Now that we
have told the whole story, you know why we do the largest dry goods busi
ness of any firm between Portland and Sacramento.

"Like chestnuts and Kentucky whis

tle' old," said E. K. "Leonard of New
York, who was at the Seelbach last
nijjht, And I know f none which
better illustrates the peculiarities of a
true-blooded Irishman than this:
"A friend of mine was the proprie
tor of a small stable whichhe kept in
New York state. One summer he hired
an Irishman who had just arrived from
the green-tinted isle. After having
him about the place he set him to
work.wbitewashing a fence.
I.ate in the afternoon he passed
Pat, working aay as if all the furies
were closely pursuing him,
' What 's the matter, Pat, you seem
in, a hurry,' he said.
, 'Sure and I am,' replied the Irish
man, as he exhibited a bucket almost
empty. 'I've got to finish this job
before me paint runs out. ' "

JN. O. GOODWIN'S MISTAKE.
' It was in the days when Nat Good

he is now, says the Boston Herald. He
strolled to the letter box in a theatre
where he was playing and drew out
a single letter, addressed to him. The
Writing was unfamiliar, the postmark
told him nothing and he opened it hur
riedly. One glance was- enough it was
a tailor's bill. Goodwin looked it over
carefully, then replaced it in the en

BEB OF VOTES CAST IN 8TJB--SCBXPTION
CONTEST.
There Jm C&aaee for a Couple of
Good Workers to District No. 1.
Miss Bessie SmitH LvAf4 Second
in District No. 2.
OTer 50,000 votes were east on Sat
urday, and nearly every one of the eon
testants were benefitted by the roe
that were east. ''
Tor some unknown reason there
were several miscounts when the bal
lots were footed up ami several of ta
candidates did not receive the proper
amount of votes. However, this has
been fixed op and all have received
credit for every -"vote that was cast
in her favor, and the management
will be sore that this will not happen
again. If at any time you think that
you do not receive tie proper credit
for the votes that you put in, -do not
be afraid to come to the office an!
have the votes counted again. Vc
are always glad to accommodate any
and all of the contestants, especially
where the votes are concerned. Sev
eral times We have been asked," What
is done with the votes after the content
has closed I" For the information of
those who have overlooked the state
ment of the fact, we will eay that
every vote that is sent in to this of
fice is counted and then filed away, s.
that if the contestants desire it the
votes can all be counted again at the
end' of the contest. 1 This insures (hat
everything is perfectly straight and
honest, and that everyone has the
same opportunity to win one of the
prizes.
THREE SPECIAL OFFERS THIS
WEEK.
. If you do not take advantage of tha
special offers this week you will have
missed one of the best week's of the
contest, and you will lose the b-Mt
opjwrtunity of the contest to get a
good reserve for the closing days.
Every one of the contestants has the
same chance, and those that came into
the contest lately have as good a
show as those that came in at the
start. There are only fMir more weeks
after this one, so you will have to
hurry if you wish to win one of the
prizes. The house is almost completed
and the piano is now on exhibition
at the Salem store of Allen & Gilbert

sellers of the very l)est of pianos.

Portland, Oct. 30. Dressed veal is
the only commodity on Front street
that is considered over-abundant.
Large calves are being received by al
most every commission house, and be
sides these, large quantities of veal
are sent direct to retail butchers from
the dairies adjacent o Portland,
rriees have dropped for the best qual
ities, while the larger sizes can hard
ly be gotten rid of at all.
Some carcasses are being placed in
cold storage, but this is not a profit
able move, as veal does not do well
under the chilling process, and soon
decays on its withdrawal from cold
storage.
' All the dairymen of the adjacent
country seem anxious to get rid of
their surplus calves at this time,"
one commission man said this morning,
"and tbey don't seem to care what
the product! brings in the city. We
have repeatedly urged them to hold
back their veal until the present aur-
' plus has been disposed of, but they still
continue killing their calves ana sena
' in? them in. We cannot give satis-
'"fy - ' - -
factory returns to the shippers be'
cause of the slump."
Cream Mora Plentiful.
The supply of
sweet cream is heav
ier man tne marxet instines, ana as
j there is no outlet for butter, prices
are considered weak. It was expect-
, ed that cool weather would snorten
the supply of milk ana cream, but
the number of dairy cows has in
creased materially ! this Fall and the
usual shortage of dairy products does
not materialize.
The same causes that weaken the
prices of veal calves weaken the price
of butter, although quotations have
not been actually reduced. A decline
in price is the only remedy for the
piling up of fancy creamery butter,
according to dealers in aairy prod
ucts. Little Fruit Moving.
Light demand and light supply still
rule in the fruit markets. Some South
era Oregon and California grapes come
in by express and are held for good
figures, but the grape season is con
sidered virtually over and few buyers
appear. .
Good apples are-sscaree and high also
and there are few receipts of the in
ferior qualities. The fruit market has
not recovered from the drop, it sus
tained immediately on the close of
the Fair, and dealers are wondering
why. Scarcity and high prices render
. i - ' -1 1 - . i . .
the situation
still more
nnsatiafae-
tory.
