THAT "BLUE BUCKET" MINE.
Another and Interesting Versioa Of the

The Denver Times quotes a Spokane
man with giving this version Of the Blue
Bucket mine myth:
at was some time In 1850, believe,
that party Of homeseekers struck off In
the foothills Of the Rockies on the Oregon
trail for the northwest, intending to work
down into northern California. They
were farmers, pure and simple, and the
news Of the discovery Of gold In Califor.
MIA had never reached them. They had

banks Of a stream, where they rested
their oxen and horses for couple Of days.

surrounding country for fresh meat and
the women spent the time In washing
clothes, the children wandered about In
the vicinity Of camp, picking berries, car.

metal. They said they had tried to dig

Now our public may see
what Inventory means in the
big Store"
At best but meagre
idea can be had of the hercu-

2o stores at once. Everything
under this expansive roof has
been measured, examined
from parlor suit to a tack.
And we have been at it for
more than a week.
The result. Every depart
ment had odd lots, broken
numbers, ends of pieces. Too
small to win a place in the
store news, they were neg
elected. The bigger offer
ings got all the attention.
They were the goods you'd
see only if you asked for
them.
But now we have had an
enthusiastic round up. The
odds and ends have come out
into the open. And they go
on sale under the distinguish
ing sign of the Red Ball" at
prices that would seem in
credible if they we're not
printed over the signature of
this house.
In some instances we have
only one, in others, several
articles of a kind. Remem-
Der it is a sale of odds and
ends. The articles may be
here for a minute, an hour, a
day. We cannot tell.
