$40 Wash Dresses
at $3.75

They are beauties and
come in tan, white, pink,
blue, lavender and green.
These dresses are positively
worth up to $40 each, and
would be great bargains at
that price. Remember, We
buy samples at considerably
less than the regular price,
so that we can sell to you at
wholesale prices or less and
still make a reasonable
profit.

HERE'S LATEST DOPE
FROM POLITICAL CAMP

e. d. Sanders, the wholesale gro
Ger, will make the race for the re-
publican nomination for state sena-
tor for the Fifth district. Ed has a
host of friends and will be formid-
able candidate. He made the race
for the same place four years ago
against Will Graves, then a demo-
crat. Sanders afterward learned
that some Of the wire pullers in the
lower end of the Second ward had
double crossed" him, elccting
Graves.
Fred G. Pugh says that he will
again run for prosecutor. Politicians
say that Fred will have the race Of
his life if strong opposition candi-
date is brought out. An effort is
now being made by members of the
farmers organizations to secure a
candidate of this kind. The oppo-
sition to Mr.. Pugh credits him with
being a nice gentleman personally,
but not enough of an ''insurgent' in
dealing with certain gentlemen that
have gotte away with the goods at
the courthouse or the city hall In
times past. 1t is figured that with a
prosecuting attorney in sympathy
with general cleanup, both in city
and county affairs, several gentle
ment now living in ease might be
given free berths at Walla Walla A
desire to reach these gentlemen is
what prompts opposition to Mr.
Pugh.
