:. The prospects for next year are
very bright. Nine letter men will be
back in school as nucleus for the
eleven, and in addition will be a
large number of sophomores and jun
iors who came out for the team but
failed to win {. letter, due to mex
perience or lack of weight. In all,
there will be Is men who have play
ed in games this year who will be
on hand to answer the first call for
candidates.
} The team will lose this year Cap
tain Scheurenbrand, Murray, Hoag-
land, Anderson, j. Collins, Grund-
land, and Armstrong. This loss will
cripple the backfield somewhat, and
the line little more, but among the
recruits and old men, there are a
number who will be able to patch up
the team.

important high school team in action
Coach Wheatley and Prof c. S. Hall,

ANNOUNCEMENT
Advance in Price
of Anthracite Coal

J. MAURY DOVE COMPANY ad-
vises its patrons and the PUBLIC gem
orally that the advances in all materi-
ais, labor, ETC., which enter into the
cost of selling and delivering coal have
been so enormous that it has been COM
PEELED to advance the price of AN
THRACTTE COAL Csc per ton, to
take effect Tuesday, October 10, 1916.
The discount of 15c per ton for cash or
for accounts settled in full by the 10th
of the month will still prevail.
Increases in the various items COM
prising the above expense have in no
case been lower than 25%, and in one
instance has exceeded 1882. For the
past year we have been absorbing
these advances az they occurred, in the
hope that they would prove to be only
temporary. Instead, however, they
have been gradually increasing, until
we have found it impossible to absorb
them longer.

Invest With Care

When investing your savings give
careful thought to these three cardinal
principles:
1. Satisfy yourself as fully as you can
that your investment is safe.
2. Be certain that the bond you buy
has ready market. That you can
sell it without delay. The time may
come when you will need to dispose
of it quickly to meet an emergency.
3. When safety and ready market"
are assured the only other important
consideration is the rate of interest.
Don't expect too much. High-grade
securities do not pay high rates.
We have plan by which you may
buy bonds of this character on small
monthly payments.
$1,000 is enough to start with.
$500 or more monthly after that.
Call and let us explain fully.

OF ELECTRIC SHOCK FRIDAY
Accident Near G. N. Power PIant-Steel
Tape Comes in Contact with High
Power Transmission Wire

Young Colprit was employed with a
surveying crew and had hold of steel
tape the other end Of which another
man was trying to hoist over bush,
when the tape came in contact with
the transmission wire carrying $4,000
volts and supplying the power for NOV
ing trains thru the Cascade tunnel.
He must have had his foot on one OF
the rails that made ground contact.
Both arms were badly burned and his
right foot and leg was also badly
burned up to the knee. He told DR..
Hoxsey, who attended him, that his
home was in Portland, where his
mother lived. The accident occurred
last Friday within few minutes oi
twelve o'clock, a short distance from
the G. N. power plant, about three
miles from town. He lived about six
hours. His mother was promptly noti-
fed by the railroad company. The
remains were shipt to Portland last
Saturday.
