Today We Celebrate
Tomorrow We Cut the
Price on All Ladies'
and Misses Wash
Dresses

We are positively deter
mined to close out every
ladies' and misses wash suit
in our store, and to do this
we are going to give you
such values as will make it
impossible to resist them.
Remember, all these suits
were bought at a very low
price in the first place. They
are samples which we
bought from drummers and
big houses. 1t stands to rea-
son that every manufacturer
will put just about the best
goods he has into his sam
pies because that's what he
depends on to a large extent
to sell his regular line. But
after they are through with
these samples they are will
ing to sell them for a very
low price, and that's where
we come in with our ready
cash. Thus we claim that we
are able to sell the best mer-
chandise i'm SpOkane for the
least money. Our expenses
are small, and we are salts
fled with a very reasonable
margin of profit. Come to-
morrow and look over these
dresses anyhow-even if you
have already bought for the
season it will pay you to
have one or two nice new
fresh dresses at the remark
able price reductions we
offer.
Our prices run like this:
From a $3.50 dress at
$1.75. to a $500 dress at
$13.75.
Come in and get acquaint-
ed with this store. 1t will
be money in your pocket to
do so.

MUSKOGEE, Okla, July "A
$4,000 plantation willed to Miss
Cordelia Wallace, pretty clerk in
a Muskogee cigar stand by her
great-aunt, lies unclaimed at Mon
roe, La, while she shakes the box
and hands out smokes as she did
when she had to earn her living.
And she beams even more brightly
on her customers.
II think l will jusN keep on sell
fng cigars here for w<ile, until l
get used to being rich, and then I'll
go to look over the estate" she
said.
Miss Wallace didn't expect her
fortune. She's a namesake of her
aunt, but she hadn't visited her
since she romped barefooted on the
big plantation, of which she will
now be mistress. She was shaking
the dice box with customers when
an attorney from Monroe walked
in and broke the news to her.
Miss Wallace received 20 offers
of marriage the first two days after
she received notification of her
legacy, and they're still coming.
But she laughs at them all. Her
waste-basket is full of love letters.

DAY-VARIOUS EVENTS.

With q martial band Of gray
headed veterans playing a roper
toire Of airs that were familiar at
the front in the days Of 81 to '65,
the third annual camp Of the spo-
kane County Veterans association
opened at 10 o'clock this morning.
Each succeeding number brought
forth voIleys Of cheers, as the nu-
sicians Of nearly half century ago
discoursed the tunes that still rang
familiar in their ears. "That's It,
that's it," shouted some veteran as
a favorite air struck his ear. First
It was "John Browns Body" then

that ~ Hear Ny Comrades March,

The weather was fine, the crowds
large and everything moved along
in fine shape. 1he camp is located
just south of Fort Wright on the

The first event after the concert
by the martial band was the picnic
dinner at noon, in which the camp
management served pork and
beans, hard tack, coffee and pickles
free to all corners.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon a for

INDIANS WALL0PED
TO tune OF 10 TO 2

The Tacoma Tigers walloped the
Indians at Recreation park this
morning, winning one-sided game
by the score of 10 to 2.
Bonner was put in the box for
Spokane and WIS good until the
fifth inning, when Tacoma began
to take very kindly to his offerings
and he was chased at the end Of
the seventh after the Tigers had
put five over the rubber. Keener
was brought in from center and put
on the mound, while Ostdiek took
Keener's place.
Spokane started the run-getting
in the fourth when Cooney walked,
was sacrificed to second by Weed
and came home on Keener's two
bag swat to center. Davis walked
and Keener rang the bell again
when he came home on Nordyke's
single to center.
Tacoma retaliated in the fifth
and tied the score, with a walk, an
error and two hits. In the sew
enth, the Tigers crossed the Good
year three times before the nee
essary three outs were obtained,
and Keener was put in the box. He
issued two free passes to first and
these combined with four safe ones,
one a three-bagger, increased the
Tigers total to 10 runs. Spokane

wheat crop of about 100000 bush
els. The local total yields will be
approximately: Wheat, 20,oOO,oOO

IMPROVED IN MIDDLE WEST
KANSAS CITY, July 4.-The ag-
ricultural outlook in the middle
western states has improved since
April Unfavorable winter condi-
tions caused some abandonment of
wheat acreage in Kansas. Nebraska
and Missouri, but winter wheat will
make a much better total yield than
expected. Kansas, the leading win
ter wheat producer of the union, is
conceded to have between 100000 600
and $4,000 bushels as against
$4,000. 900 bushels last year. Elk
cellent quality is a big compensat-
ing factor in the three states
named. The weather conditions
have been perfect during May and
June and every grain of wheat will
be saved. providing enough help
can be obtained to harvest the
crop. Farmers are paying Sc a day
in some parts. The crop on the
whole is the best in many years.
FAIR CALIFORNIA CROPS.
SACRAMENTO, July 4.-Califor-
MIA will have just half the prune
crop this year, which may result in
bringing the price up to such a
point as to Danish delicacy from
boarding house tables. Apples, figs,
peaches, apricots, cherries all are
in good condition. Grapes will be
plentiful, with a good outlook for
oranges and lemons. Cold spring
weather produced hay and alfalfa,

, Something new for rubbernecks
has been invented by an English
man. When the late kings funeral
procession was passing through the

thronged every available spot to
catch a glimpse of the many nota-
bies following the hearse.

rors, placed as seen in picture, he
devised a means of seeing the pro-
cession from the rear of dense

DRY SPRING HERE.

DRY SPRING HERE.
This was the driest spring the In
land Empire has known in years. 1t
was the driest month of June Spo
kane has experienced in 80 years,
according to the United States
weather bureau.
This condition of drouth has hit
the wheat, oats and vegetable crops
of the Inland Empire hard-espe-
cially the great staple, wheat. The
extent of the damage cannot be as
yet definitely determined, as boun-
tiful showers at this late day would
be of great service in still making a
good showing.
While the crop may be short
there will still be wheat The win
ter wheat has not suffered nearly
so much as the spring wheat, which
in the great Big Bend country is
pretty short. Winter wheat has felt
the drouth. too. and in some regions
of the Palouse the winter wheat has
suffered more than the spring
wheat
The apple prospect is good but
some other lines of fruit are short.
In western Montana. where hard
wheat is grown, the climatic condi-
tons vary from the Inland Empire.
Reports from that region say the
wheat outlook is promising,
POSITIVE DAMAGE TO CROPS
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi. July f.
Positive damage to the northwest
ern wheat crop throughout unpre-
cedented drouth and great heat
blast that extended over nearly all
the last half of June is now admit
ted. Estimates from various por
tons of the spring wheat territory,
including Minnesota and the Da-
kotas, place the damage at from %
to 80 per cent, with majority of
the reports approXimateing the
smaller figure? The principal dam
age Is In the Red river valley, the
largest and richest wheat producing
territory in the country. Further
west, in the newer sections, there is
apparently less loss. Corn. oats and
barley are in much better shape
and will not begin to deteriorate for
10 days more. even if the drouth
should continue. What that was
very late in planting is so far along
that it could not produce a good
crop even if the rains were soon to
come.
