EXCURSION FROM
OREGON TOWNS
WalIa WaIla Merchants Have
Arranged For Three
LIBERAL REBATES TO Be MADE
Special Inducements Offered to Una
tilia County Shoppers to Come
to Garden City.
LIBERAL REBATES TO Be MADE

Arrangements have been made by
the Walla Walla business men with
the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company whereby a special excursion
train will be run from Pendleton to
Walla Walla three days during the
present month This will enable the
people of the Umatilla county towns
to come to the metropolis of south
eastern Washington to do their Christ
mas trading, and afford them an op-
portunity Of selecting goods from the
varied and large stocks carried by the
merchants of the Garden City.
According to the schedule arranged
the train will leave Pendleton at Z
o'clock in the morning and reach Wal
la Walla at o'clock. Returning the
train will leave the o. r & n. depot at
5, arriving in Penjleton at I p. m.
This will allow the shoppers of UNA
tilla county almost a full day in Walla
Walla.
The three days on which the excur-
sion trains will be run are as follows:
Wednesday. December I.
Tuesday, December 81.
Thursday, December %.
The Walla Walla merchants are en-
thusiastic over the interest that is be-
ing displayed in the matter of the spe-
cial trains and each one will de every
thing possible to make the excursions
popular with the Oregon people. They
will probably make special bargains
on their goods for those days and en-
deavor to make it an object for the
Umatilla buyers to purchase their hol-
iday goods in Walla Walla.
At a meeting of the business men
Saturday evening it was decided that
in order to induce the Umatilla county
people to come to Walla Walla a lib
given to every one, whether they pur-
chased goods in Walla Walla or not.
A central location will be selected
where an office will be opened and a
clerk be placed there to give the peO-
pie the rebate. The round trip tickets
and the rebates that will be given fol-
low:
Pendleton tickets, $2.S5; rebate
s1.S5 actual cost s1.OO.
Adams tickets, $500; rebate s15O;
actual cost so cents.
Athena tickets, s1.7O; rebate s1.20;
actual cost so cents.
Weston tickets, s1.5O rebate s1OO;
actual cost so cents.
Milton tickets, 60 cents: rebate 80
cents; actual cost, 80 cents.
Freewater tickets so cents; rebate,
80 cents; actual cost 80 cents.
Thousands of circulars have been
printed and are now being circulated
in the Oregon towns informing the
Umatilla county shoppers of the splen-
did inducements that the Walla Walla
merchants are offering them to come
to this city to do their Christmas trad
ing.

ADVERTISING CHAT.

The non advertising merchant does
not do justice to his stocks, for adj
vertising is the first step towards the
selling of goods.
1t is not claimed that the Evening
Statesman will bring wealth beyond
the dreams of avarice' to those who
use it's advertising columns. But it is
claimed that ads in the Evening
Statesman are profitable trade pullers
because they are read by the majority
of the people of Walla Walla.
