THE FIRST ANNUAL
 RESOLUTION SALE"
The New York Store Starts Out the
 New Year Right.

The New York store has started the new year right and at o'clock this morning will open what it chooses to call the first annual resolution sale" Appreciating the fact that to make a sale of any kind a success, much pub licity is required, the store devotes a full page in this mornings issue to giv- ing the particulars of this big sale. Knowing that the only way to get trade is to advertise. the store is sparing no expense to make this sale a big one. This ad. should be read by everybody who believes in sav- money when the opportunity offers.
 In this big sale. little attention has been paid to the original cost of goods. Many articles quoted in the ad. are being sold at cost, many others at be- low cost, and big reductions have been made on everything from A to z. 1t is useless here to enlarge upon the features of this big sale. The ad. GOV

GETTING READY FOR
 THE SUMMERS TRADE
The Pacifice creamery's Ice Plant Be-
 ing Overhauled.

Taking advantage of the winter sea- son when there is naturally smaller demand for ice than at any other time of the year. the Pacific Creamery com pany is just engaged in overhauling its big ice, plant and getting it into shape for the coming seasons work The plant has been shut down now for a week or more and it will probably be six weeks or longer before any ice made. To run over this period, large quantity of ice was stored-sufficient to meet the present demand of the public.
 The plant is a complete one. and no new machinery is being installed. The present equipment of the plant, however, is being given thorough cleaning; repairs are being made where necessary and everything is being put in tip-top shape for the summers work It is no small task and good sized crew of men will be kept at it until the work is finished. The big fly wheel of the engine alone. weighs four tons This is to be taken down and the whole engine worked over. The work is being done undec the su- pervision of the engineer in charge.

EXCESS OF HOD0ES
 INVADING TEMPE
When They. Fail to Move on They
 Have Been Given Jail Sentences.

Tempe has been suffering from an excess of hoboes the past few days, though strenuous efforts have been made on the part of the officers to keep them moving through town. They have found that the warehouses along the railroad offer splendid shelter for the night, and night before last Con- stable Estrada early in the evening dislodged a party of seven that had taken up temporary quarters in the Peters hay warehouse. The presence of that many hoboes in a warehouse containing hundreds of tons of baled hay is not the safest thing in the world. even though the hay is insured against fire. MT. Estrada invited the party of seven to move on and they did So. Returning about midnight he found two had returned. They were inclined to argue with the constable. and ques- tioned his authority. To prove that he was clothed with the proper nec- essary power he led them off to jail. Next day they were sent. up for five days each. A third one who was picked up during the day was given similar dose.
