He doesn't claim foul, but he does

QUEER STAND AT SEARS,
Attempt to License the Attractions at
the Tower.

the Tower.
The town Of Sears has made itself
ridiculous by adopting an ordinance
licensing the attractions ut the Tower.
The improvements made at this his
toric resort by the Tri-City Railway
company have made the neighborhood
what it is, source OF attraction and
admiration, and the ordinance looks
very much like revenge for the COM
pany having fenced in its open air
theatre which the people out there
have enjoyed heretofore on the dead
head plan. The company is likely to
resist the oppression which Sears
seeks to impose. even if it comes to
fencing in the entire Tower grounds
and otherwise resenting the unfriend-
illness and vindictiveness of TIE Sears
town board.

JOYS OF OF JUNE

June is the month of roses, the happy season of
flowers when all nature is glad. But there are
other joys, for instance getting nearly two

used to buy. That's what makes home happy.
There Is ONE place and ONLY ONE where
the measure and quality keeps the same, while
the prices keep getting lower. Shields 1t is who

The first bucket OF coal that is taken
from the hold of the Burgess marks the

vessel with cargo has been so far up the
estuary because till to-day there was no

one OF the most substan tial that could be
built, and behind it are many acres of
land made with estuary mud on what was
till recently useless marsh. Now it is

are leased to the Oregon I'm
