VEJDOAE GROCERY'S
INITIAL LETTER TO the PUBLIC.

INITIAL LElItR III int PUBLIC
The system of cleanliness; the
artistic and convenient arrangement
of the interior, together with the
courtesy shown the public, has been
commented on by leading travelling
men and pronounced the finest and
most up-to- date Grocery Emporium
south of Atlanta.
This, with twenty seven years
experience in the Grocery arena,
enables the management to main
tain supremacy over those void of
taste and of slight experience.
Our method of conducting
THE VENDOME'S
Immense Business is based on con-
sentative lines, yet the greatest
courtesy to the rich and poor alike
will be inculcated.
We do not believe in changing
our clerks with every change of the
moon, but our aim is to employ
NONE but cultured, capable gen
tIemen and RETAIN THEM, be-
lieving this to be one of the para J.
mount features toward the success
of Grocery Establishment.
1t is not necessary for us to
place stress upon
Pure Food Products
carried in THE VENDOME, as
some Grocers do, from the fact
that we have everything in the
edible line that can be procured
from ocean to ocean, and from the
lakes in the north to the Gulf in the
south, besides our immense line OF
imported goods, and as the U. 5.
Government inspects and, if found
Free from AduIteratiOn
places her stamp of inspection for
purity on every article, THE VEN
DOME deems personal boast as the
only possessor of Pure Food Pro
ducts, a flattery and mis-guiding.
But to the casual observer the
verdict is unanimous that the i'm
mense variety of groceries carried
by
THE VENDOME
is clean and as pure as the apple OF
the eye.
Established June |, with sales
aggregating $500 per day and
wheelbarrow delivery, we have
reached the phenomenal growth OF
nearly 100000 per month, employ
ing seven men and two wagons.
This growth is unprecedented in
the history of Fitzgerald.
With ample capital at our COM
mand we buy principally direct from
the mills and factories, thus giving
us an advantage over small dealers.

wALLA wALLA, Sept. 23.-The
for an open river has again
been started all along the line between ,
Portland and Kennewick, says the Bull
letin, Within the last week and from
present indications 1t seems probable
that the efforts of the promoters VIII
prove successful and that a line OF
packets will be established within
few weeks.
DR.. N. G. Blalock is in charge OF the
movement in Walia Walla and vicinity
and his efforts for the past few days
have met with such great success that
he is confident that the open river will
be realized before winter. His principal
task lis to secure subscriptions Of stock
to the amount of $4,000 in thic section
in order to enable the Columbia Trans
portation company, composed of Port
land business men, to purchase the
steamer Norma, which will complete
the chain of boats between Portland
and Kennwick. He has already raised
over $4,000 in Walla Walla and next
week will make tour of the river
towns.
The Norma is valued at $4,000 and
il $4,000 can be raised in this section,
the Portland business men will sub
scribe the remainder of the stock me-
cessary
! The Columbia Transportation is a
corporation organized for the purpose
of opening transportation to Kenne-
wick and later to Lewiston. They al
ready own two good boats, one the j
N. Teal, now in commission between
Portland and the portage road, and the
Relief, which is ready for up-rfve1
work

be for sale. 1t is planned to conver
her into an oil burner ana put her n
service between Kennewick and Celtic

expected that two trips weekly can b
made between Portland and Kenne
wick. At a later date it is planned t
build Some boats Of lighter draft, t.
run to Lewiston.
A meeting has ben called for octo
Der at The Dalles, of all interested
in the open river, at which time it i
thought that the plans of the promo
ters will be in a presentable form. 1
is even probable that the open rive
will be. an accomplished fact by tina

mates by railroad men identified with
the construction Of the Culdesac-
Grangeville line have placed the time
at Dec. /. for the road to reach the
top of the mountain at Reubens
The delay in the plans has been
occasioned by the large number OF

scarcity Of skilled bridge carpenters.
The rails are now laid to bridge No.

ed out of Cuidesac The carpenters are
now engaged in the construction OF

Reports from the prairie country in

highland crop will be delivered at the
grain warehouses this season. The
farmers are now engaged in the deliv-
ery of the grain at vollmer and other
highland points. and but little will be
brought down the mountain for ship
ment.
This decision on the part Of the
farmers will materially reduce the
grain delivery here, which. taken with
the loss to the crop occasioned by the

grain shipments from Cuidesac COM
paratively small. Large quantities OF
hay are being delivered. which In q
