THE SACRIFICE
DRY GOODS

AT our present Clearing Sale is some
thing unprecedented in the Dry Goods
business in Owosso. 'Tis amusing to
watch the eagerness with which Gus.
toners pick up the bargains displayed
on our counters. Every customer goes
away more than satisfied. The stock
is melting away like dew before
July sun, and by Thursday night, Aug.
3Oth, the immense stock now on our
shelves will be thing of the past.
The goods will then be found in nearly
every home in the county. You all
have an opportunity to get share of
these goods by coming at once. You
certainly cannot afford to stay away
and let your neighbors get them all.
This sale positively closes Thursday
night, Aug. aOth. This is our last bid
for your patronage, and YOUR LAST
OPPORTUNITY to secure these goods
at the present prices. IT'S now or
never. Take day off and attend this
sale-it will pay you well.

lumber down stream to the claim
of Hill & Robbins, below the jack
son bridge. The lumber was tied
to a coil of rope and Saunders was
steering it from the bank. AS he
failed to arrive at the claim search
was made aud the lumber was
found two miles below on the 9TH
er side of the stream. 1t is sup
posed that Mr.. Saunders ventured
too far from the shore and was
swept off his feet by the swollen
and turbulent torrent, ontangled
in the coil of rope which he held
and was drowned. The body has
not been recovered, and Indians
are watching the stream. A BROTH

The Colfax Gaze tie last week
showed by extracts from the rec
ords of Whitman county that
S136, 6,401 of the taxes collected was
spent in litigation in that county
last year. The courts cost moro
than all other expenses combined,
yet the people complain of excess
sive taxation and continue to air
their petty grievances in the courts
at the expense of the county. La
tab county will spend from thirty
to fifty thousand dollars this year
in sustaining the courts. Less
having would make less taxation,
yet it would appear almost impos-
sible to get along without that lux
ury.

1t is very evident from the fore
going that our neighbors at Ken
drick are rendered famishing and
ravenous by the hard winter and
hard times, and are eagerly seek
ing to devour the farmers of Camas
prairie. But we are not the va
hoos and country jakies our neigh
bors on the railroad think us. The
Grangeville merchants do business
in a large way. Their wholesale
trade extends from Oregon on the
west to Montana on the east. We
have here the largest merchandis-
ing establishments in the state of
Idaho. Our stores carry an aver
age of $4,000 worth of stock.
They buy for cash, discount their
own bills and have special freight
rates because they ship in carload
and even trainload lots. 1t is
therefore preposterous for little Ok
8 stores at Kendrick to claim that
they can undersell our own people
At Grangeville, of course, we are
70 miles from the railroad and
freight on everything imported
here costs never less than one cent
per pound and sometimes as high
as two cents per pound. On heavy
goods, hardware, etc., the freight
is added. But in spite of this, the
farmers of Camas prairie can come
with the cash in their hands and
trade at our Grangeville stores for
exactly the same prices for the
same goods as are specified in the
article from the Kendrick paper.
Barb wire 5 to 81 cents, best hand
made harness S25 to $50, horse
collars SO, etc., etc. Clothing and
dry goods of all kinds are actually
sold cheaper in Grangeville than
they are in Kendrick, because here
we have competition while there
are no stores in Kendrick capable
of competing with each other. Our
millers make less profit selling
-four at a dollar a sack than the
Kendrick millers make selling
Kendrick flour at 75 cents sack.
Where they buy wheat at 20 cents
a bushel, our millers pay Camas
prairie farmers so cents per bushel.
Talk and taffy is certainly cheap
in Kendrick, but our people had
enough of those commodities in
the smart Aleck proposition to put
up q 200-bbl roller mill last year.
