A Sale Of Sales :!

Whatever the cause, trade has been under severe blight all through the fall season. All businesses have felt it. Manufacturers, jobbers and importers have lately been un- loading and we have quickly picked up the bonanzas as they fell. These are offered at great bargain prices.
 Joining in the movement ourselves, we begin to unload heavy stocks of goods in every department.

Some time ago il was decided to build
an engine house in West Oakland. Under
ordinary circumstances a very plain red
brick building would have been erected
There would have been nothing urna-
mental to it, although it would have been,
perhaps, we'll fitted out Tor fre-engine
purposes. The West Oakland Club, how
ever has laid down the law that whatever
il worth doing in West Oakland must be
done well, and the effect of its influence
has been felt by both the Council and the
Board OF Works.
The board now has under consi :eration
some OF the handsomest plans for tire-en-
CINE houses that could be desired. They
were subm tied in competition by local
architects and called for very handsome
iructure5. No matter which one is Sc
ecled, 1t will be an ornament 10 West
Oakland. There is one DartIcu arly pretty
design TO be constructed largely OF stone
ana with q tower hat has met with gem
eral favor and will probably be accepted.
The favored design is much more orna-
mental and imposing than any other en-
house in the city, and ii il we're not
,or the archi ects guarantee that 1t can
be built for the sum o. money appropri-
ated for it, it might be thought that it
would cost far more than the estimate.
The other designs are also possessed OF
much merit. but The one with a Mexican
suggestion seems to promise the most for
the money.
The CLUB has within the past year also
obtained fine park appropriation tina
