TRUTHFUL
 ADVERTISING

The republic of Mexico has a very strict law regarding the advertising mater displayed by travelling shows and severe penalty it attached for to conviction for advertising any thing that is not performed in the show. The Gentry shows made con- plete tour of the entire republic of Mexico last year and used all their advertising matter that they put out in the States, which is proof of the fact that at least the Gentry shows are truthfully advertised. Nearly, if not all, the pictures displayed are taken from photographs and rear ranged on the large posters to fit the
 different size bill boards of the country. The Gentry shows have long been known as clean and moral exhibitions and one that any one can attend. This present season makes the seventeenth one of their show and if reports are verified, the per fOrmances are better than ever. Many new acts and animals have been add cd and the entire outfit enlarged and improved in every department. The show in addition to being the most interesting exhibition on the road al so bears the distinction of being hon. estly presented and truthfully adver- ticn6 Tho (sGnfr,U shouc will l it here Monday, September 23.

Considerable excitement was
caused Tuesday after noon by the
appearance Of a cloud of smoke
which was apparently rising from
Mont Wards wheat field south
of town. Marshal Sweetin i'm
mediately organized an inn
promptu fire brigade, got a wag-
on and started for the fire but
on getting to the top of the hill
south of town it was seen that
the fire was in bunchgrass field
south of the Shaffer ranch and
was then almost extinguished by
neighbors who had iocked to the
scene. It is not known how the
fire started but it is thought that
it was caused by some matches
which were left on the ground
by some immigrants who had
been camping there a few days
before or by some careless smok-
er who, passing along there, had
thrown a lighted match on the
ground among the dry grass. AS
near as can be learned one of
Wards haystacks and a small
cabin were consumed, but had it
gotten into one of the wheat
fields it would have become
uncomfortable and there is no
estimate to the damage it might
have done.

CON NAN IN C0NDON

Evidence was brought TO light
this week which showed that
Thomas Dillon, who lives on his
ranch about six miles north of
town, was fieeced out of a certi-
ficate of deposit for $6950.00 on
Ladd & Tilton's bank in Portland
by q man who. judging from his
methods. is an artist in that line.
All we can learn of the man is
that his name is Fisher and that
he claimed to be one of a compa-
ny Of financial agents" who
have their offices in the Mar
guam Building in Portland. II
seems that he had met Mr.. Dillon
in Portland sometime heretofore
and learned in some way that he
held this certificate of deposit.
Since that time he has made sew
eral attemps to buy Mr.. Dillon's
ranch and once tried to sell him
some mining stock. He came up

count Of the certificates bearing
the signature of R. l.. Stevens,
who was formerly the cashier
but was afterward elected sheriff
of Multnomah county, and that
it was required that the signature
of the present cashier should be
on every certificate. Mr.. Dillon
Immediately brought out his GER
tifcate and inquired if 1t would
have to be changed and Fisher,
after inspecting it, told him that
he thought it would. He then
made the proposition to Mr.. Dill.
Ion that he should endorse it and
let him take it to Portland with
