CAKES BROTHERS BUY
TWO LARGE STOCKS
IN OREGON

Cakes Bros. are conducting a most
remarkable sale.
A few weeks ago R. w. Cakes pur-
chased a big stock of merchandise
at Ontario, Ore. Another firm, the
Golden Rule Store, at Forest Grove,
heard of the deal and being on the
financial shoals themselves, made even
a better offer if Mr.. Cakes would take
their entire stock. The stock called
for some 100000. Mr.. Cakes took
a long breath, his check book and
some deeds to good Idaho land-and
bought the whole shebang, lock, stock
and barrel.
This gave Cakes Bros. about $32,-
their own big stock. To market such
an immense stock of goods quickly is
problem at any time and just now
is a most serious matter.
To insure a ready sale, Mr.. Cakes
determined to take the profit on the
land he had sold and give the profit
on the bankrupt purchase to his thou
sands of customers-this meant that
he would give them hrst-class mer-
chandise at an average of so cents on
the dollar.
From the Forest Grove store there
came 81 immense bales and packing
cases-more than ten tons of first
class goods, ready for sale. The big
basement extending under the entire
store is now packed and jammed with
dry goods, notions, shoes, clothing
all the thousand and one articles that
go to make up the stock of modern
department store. Down two aisles
from floor to ceiling, are shoes, rub
bers, boots-footwear for men and
women. There are 1890 pairs of one
brand of stockings alone! There is
underwear enough to supply She
whole Mexican army. And ribbonsN
Only woman could adequately des-
cribe the wealth of ribbons of every
shade and quality-and Cakes Bros
would not even handle a stock of in.
ferior goods bought at bankrupt
prices-it had to be first-class me
chandise or they would not consider
it for moment.
Monday Cakes Bros. will place the
entire stock on sale at lower price:
than ever seen in this section of the
country, according to Mr.. Cakes. HI
declares that they have not reserved
a single item but have thrown thu
whole stock open to the public at thu
same price it cost-bought from bank
rupt firms at so cents on the dollar.
Mr.. Cakes seemed to doubt tina
the comprehension of tn erepresenta
tive of The Tribune could encompass
such an immense volume of mer
chandise and showed him the bills o
lading, receipted, for the whole 8
bales, and boxes. They were all there
] even when counted upon Burrough
adding machine. The job of invoicing
: and getting ready this big stock TO
sale has occupied a corps of exper

lowing from the Grangeville Globe:
]. H. GIBSON, OF Caldwell, chairman
of the state bull moose organization,
came in Wednesday night from Voll-
mer, for the purpose of affecting a
county organization, and remained
over today. Mr.. GIBSON after landing
at the Imperial was very busy on the
phone trying to get in touch with
some of the citizens of this communi-
ty supposed to be in sympathy with
the movement which he is fathering;

what was said and done. further thar
to state that an experience meeting
was INDUCED in which everyone pres
ent including the editor, was calle,
upon to express himself on the sub
ject of progressiveism. Being pro

At the close it was decided that MI
Gipson should change his plans by re
naming over Thursday and holding
meeting tonight, and bills have bee
printed announcing the meeting t
which all are invited.

tiers concerning the controversy over
the right of way for the flotation of
logs through what is known as For

1t was not happy birthday despite

of importuning tax collectors. Har-
rassed by I. W. w. agitators, he dar-

orate electric burglar alarms, special
guards and deputy sheriffs armed to
the teeth with vicious blood hounds
watched over his estate lest violence
be done by those who do not believe
one man should have all the fortune
that Rockefeller has. Facing posi-
BILE arrest for alleged tax dodging in

he was having birthday. Not even

without the comfort Of the presence

to celebrate. He was In seclusion, al
