Printing 1ateriaI Advances Again.

Under date of the 1st inst. this office
was in receipt of the following notice
from one of the jobbers from whom is
purchased much of the material used in
printing in The Republicans several
departments:
THE continued advance in the,',,price
of all grades of paper has made it i'm
possible for US to issue a price list or
even keep you posted as to prices. The
situation is growing more serious each
day. the mills at this time having with
drawn all prices and are accepting or
ders subject to their ability to secure
raw materials, and to be billed at mar
ket price at the time of shipment. "
Our patrons, after reading the above,
can readily see that printing Offices are
hampered in securing material even at
largely advanced prices.

" i'll Dissolve Partnership and Ex-

Messrs. ]. M. Davis & Sons, the Oak
land hardware dealers have dissolved
partnership by mutual consent and will
retire from the hardware business.

active pursuits of this firm will be a
source of regret to many.

as wholesale or in bulk. After they
have disposed of their heavy stock
which at this season of the year, is
quite large. they will offer their store
room for rent.
The reduced price sale will begin on
Monday, the 10th inst. and while the
old firm regrets to take this step con-
ditions are such that they deem it adj
visable.

tendent he was highly commended by
President Lauer of Council for the
splendid work he has done since he was
placed in charge of the water system.
By his methods and mechanical ability
a deficit has been turned into an asset
of many hundreds of dollars and the
fact that at all times bountiful supply
of water is at hand Is owing to the eff
cheney of the superintendent and a
matter of satisfaction to the residents
of Oakland.
1t was determined by Council that
ordinances relating to gambling and the
curfew are to be put in force.
The latter will be stictly en-
forced after May LIST, when the signal
will be given at $50 o'clock by the fire
whistle when all coming under the pro-
visions of the law are expected to obey
it in every particular.
