At least 20 Pendleton people will
go to Jalisco, Mexico on the excur-
sion being organized by the Pan
American Land e. Colonization com
pany. The lists is being constant
ly augmented and great many
shares in the townsite scheme at
Jalisco will be purchased by people
who do not intend to make the trip.
At this time those who fully intend
to go to Jalisco are as follow: w. D.
Hansford, A. w. Nye, William Switz-
Ter, Jr., H. f. Bickers, T. B. Swear
ingen, william Folsom, ]. F. Nowlin,
Dean Shull, Arthur Gibson, Douglas
Glenn, c. F. Colesworthy wife and
two sons, Victor NJ. Houston and wife
and others who have not yet fully de-
cided to go are thinking seriously of
the trip.
1t is the intention of many of those
going from Pendleton to provide
themselves with tents, provisions and
bedding, in order to escape the hotel
and lodging house extortion, should
it be practiced, and in order to be
sure of accommodations on reaching
the city of Jalisco.
1t is expected that 10000 people
will join this excursion from differ
ent points in the United States and
as Jalisco is but a small city, this
number of excursionists will over
crowd it beyond any hope of securing
accommodations.
It is said that 500 people are going
from Walla Walla and Columbia
counties. Wash, on this excursion.
The latest information inregard to
the price of the ticket is that trans
portation will be furnished at about
one-third regular fare, which will
bring the cost of the excursion ticket
down to s65 for the round trip.

hibits the licensing of a saloon within
800 feet of certain kindergarten attend

THE HOLIDAY SHOPPING PERIOD.
Merchants are Making Ready for the Day
of Purchases.

The following adopted from an ex-
change is appropriate to Viroqua;
As the holiday season approaches,
nearly everyone realizes that the time
for gift making is at hand. The custom
of giving presents at Christmas time has
record extending back for ages, and at
the present day is practiced more extern
sively than ever. Santa Claus, the
Christmas tree and the well filed stock
ing of the little one on Christmas morn
ing have all been with Us before, and
will be- with us many times again Par
chasing presents for the occasion is d
11sk indulged in by all, and yet is con-
ared a hard proposition because of
tn, uncertainty of securing something
that will be most suitable to tine needs
and fancy of the one for whom it was
intended. Preparations on large scale
have been made by the merchants OF
yiroaua to meet all demands of custom
ers for gift making Months ago they
purchased large lines and have made
recent additions so that when the goods
are all on the shelves the display will be
erander and of greater variety than
ever. The toy counters are beginning
to be loaded with all the little pleasur-
ables procurable in the city market and
the contr!vances along this line are near
ly all new patterns and their mechanism
makes an interesting study for the older
heads. Every merchant in the city has
given special attention to this class OF
goods. In the way Of furnitur.. j. vel
nv, glassware, chinawsre and cutlery,
no place in the state can Offer better
line to select from. Then there are the
staples, such as dry goods, clothing and
furnishings, which cannot be excelled::
Books and stationery are also displayed
in great variety. In fact the line OF
Christmas goods seems to be about
complete and there is no reasonable ex'
cuse to look farther than Viroqua in
making your selections for the holiday
gifts. To outsiders we will sag that
you will make no mistake by coming
here and looking through the line before
making your purchases Churches and
societies are preparing for the usual
Christmas services and all indications
point to happy time for the coming
season.
