A New BUsINEss.-Not long since Hale
Brothers opened at 80 K street dry goods
store, which the firm styled "The Criterion
House." The locating of dry goods store at
that point was flying in the face of J street
and downtown sections, but the success of
the establishment has proven the wisdom of
the choice. The firm began in modest way.
but has gradually become aggressive, until
now it makes bold challenges for competition,
and declares that it adheres in real fact to the
one-price principle. 1t claims that the
tradesman cannot conscientiously ask more
for an article than he can really afford to take
for it, and that any other proceeding savors
of wrong. The firm has houses of like char
acter to that here in San Jose, Stockton, Pet
aluma and Salinas City. The firm claims to
be the pioneer of the one-price system, and
that they carry it out in its entirety and in
tegrity. The stock of the firm appears to be
as varied as the demand in all the lines usual
to a retail dry goods establishment, and the
house has evidently won thus early a very
hattering trade The firm makes the bold
assertion that itcan and does undersell any local
rival. Recently the firm purchased the prop
erty where the store is located, paying cash
for the premises
ADDITIONAL MIxTURE.-Justice Bucking-
ham, of Washington, Yolo county, who has
just returned from fishing trip to Knights
Landing and vicinity, states that owing to
the recent high water, when the FISH ran into
the tales and remained till the falling of the
river, and upon returning to the cold water
- - r
them are now lying dead all along the river
edges where there is saltwater or eddies.
This is to be seen from Knights Landing to
the city, and many of the fsh-consisting of
pike, salmon and sturgeon-are very large,
and weigh many pounds. The water in
many places along the river is so much
affected by these decaying fish that the fish
ermen are unable to use it. He stated that
il the people of Sacramento knew what was
contained in their hydrsnt mixture they
would be willing to go to almost any expense
to get pure water.
