About the Christmas Shopping.

Il won't be taken altogether selfish if we urge
early noting of your holiday selection Ger
tainly now that the more important stocks are in
shape YOU have an advantage that must grow less
as the holiday approaches.
There are many features that purpOsely re-
etrctcd to small quantities There are others that
So popular no matter how plentiful the supply
1t Is Wcll-nigh sure to be exhausted There are
still other lines-notably siIverware-where fur
thcr orders are refused-but luckily not at
fcctcd by such an edict-our line is here-and
complete.
But there's advantage in first choice. There's
comfort in the stores now-ample roonr-an1-
pie time for YOU to have all the attention like
to give YOU. There's more oderliness than there
can be a month later.
If ii proves to be as it seems probable now, this
store will be tho center of the Christmas shopping
and were going to bend every energy to keep
things moving with characterize Saks smoothness.
We ali like to mnge with the gay crowds to a linz
tied cNtent-bu: if YOU get the bulk of the buying
done beforehand you will not have the worry of
hurry.
Whatever selections you may see fit to make can
be reserved positively upon small deposit-and de
livery made whenever you desire-even up to
Christmas morning
We take the liberty of offering this suggestion,
for already there's holiday life" about the store.
OF course, it is impossible to anything like cata-
logue completely the gift goods But from time to
time we can give these hints that may prove val
table to you.

After all the talk of, advanced Muslin prices
you'll either marvel at such "a sae-or take for

Alma A. Crowley is the prettiest, daintiest

The Eureka Cash store.

In another column of this issue of the
SENTINEL will be found the advertisement
Of +. ImObersteg, calling attention to the
opening of his new grocery store in the
brick building formerly known as Mrs.
Browns restaurant.
1t will be the chief aim of Mr.. 0bersteg
TO keep only the best line Of groceries in
the market on hand, and to sell for spot
cash. This will enable him to do as he
promises, namely, to cut his prices down
to the lowest reasonable figure, so that
there may be no excuse for people to send
away for their groceries. Parties having
any intention to send away, in the belief
that they can get groceries cheaper than in
town, should first call at the Eureka Cash
Store and give Mr.. Obersteg a chance to
quote his prices, and they will become con-
WINGED that he car do better for them for
cash than they can do for themselves.

Change of Route.

Joe Flynn, mail contractor on the Eu-
reka and Palisade stage line. has been en-
gagged in building a new station near Oak
station, on the old stage road near the
Summit. The purpose is to change the
present route in order to avoid going
through Telegraph canyon, which is about
three and a half miles long, and is deep
throughout nearly all its extent, and fills
up with snow in the Winter, so that it is
the principal cause of delay during that
season. The new course will bring the
stage into Diamond Valley at a point
west Of Romano's.
