MIR. COHEN TALKS ABOUT
BUSINESS CONDITIONS HERE.
Feels Highly Elatcd OH the Past and
the Brilliant Outlook for the Future
Tade-Holiday Business Exceeds
all Expectations-A Frank Talk
That Shows the Right Spirit.

"A tidal wave of real prosperity has
overtaken Pendleton," remarked Mr..
Cohen of the Peoples Warehouse to
a reporter this morning.
Last summer when we enlarged
the Peoples Warehouse we thought
we had made ample provision for a
continued healthy growth of business
in Pendleton for some time to come
But did not expect such prenome-
nal prosperity ne has come to us ALL
and consequently we are now wonder
ing how We were ever able to do bus
mess in our old quarters, and trying
to figure out what arrangements must
be made TO accommodate this extra
ordinary increase In trade. Mind you,
we say this Increase In business liz
general In all lines of business I'm
Pendleton and not, we believe, con-
fined to any one store.
Holiday business has exceeded our
widest expectations, and the Peoples
Warehouse wishes all happy and
prosperous new year, and extend "A
hearty thanks and handshake for the
liberal patronage given 1t.
But just now we are worrying our
heads about the needed space. You
see we have a 500, 900 stock of spring
merchandise ordered to be shipped
January 10. This is by all odds the
largest shipment of merchandise ever
made to Eastern Oregon. and say. not
only the largest, but the best selected
and swellest line of high class goods
ever shipped to this section. And in
order to display this magnificent stock
we must make a clean sweep Of the
stock now on hand. We see no other
way, but TO cut the life out of prices
for the next 80 days, and intend on
January TO inaugurate "A down-r right
hand TO hand cut rate Clearance Sale.
We must do II and at once, and we
won't spare the knife that cuts the
prices down, either. SO when you see
a crowd up at this end OF the street
next week. you will know that we have
gone on the warpath and that we are
carrying the big ak with us.
you reporters think you are the
only ones that have trouble but you
ought to try running a store for few
months and you would change your
mind, and would agree that there are
others who have troubles Of their
own"

When this tube is inflamed you have a

when Ii is entirely closed. deafness is the

Why Not See Mexico.

Forty. eight hours travel will take you
from the c,ld clustering northern winter
to land OF sunshine and flowers. What
Egypt and India are to the old world
Mexico is to the new. "a land OF sum
shine, redo!ent with flowers; a land Of
gay costumes, crumbling churches, and
old converts; land Of kindly greetings,
OF extreme courtesy, Of open broad hos
pitality. 1t was more than enough to
revel in an italian sun, lighting up a
semi tropical land; to look up to white
capped peaks, towering into blue; to
look down upon wind.swept plains en-
circled by ragged chains OF mountains;
and to realize that today, in its varied
scenery, costumes, architecture, street life
canals crowded with fower.laden boats
market plazas thronged with gayly
dressed natives, faded church interiorr,
and abandoned converts, Mexico is the
most msrvelously picturesque country
under the sun. A tropical Nenice, a
semi barbarous Spain, a new Holy

Actuaries employed by insurance

Of computing prospective ages CT

a person Of given age Is ordinarily

of the remainder will indicate the

of calculation. In illustration Of the
