The Five Cent
Piece of Ice

365 days. The ice man must figure
on getting sufficient returns from
the short season to carry the busi-
ness throughout the entire year.
1t costs practically as much to de-
liver a five-cent piece of ice as so
lb. or a 100 lbs. The profit on the
ice delivery heretofore depended
upon the sales of larger quantities.
The cost of doing business this
year is about 10000 more than in
1916. It is absolutely impossible for
us to make SC deliveries under the
present abnormal cost of labor and
supplies.
June | we will put into effect our
new schedule of prices. The small
est amount of ice we can deliver at
one time will be ten-cent piece.
Fifteen pounds of Ice for Ten Cents
Is much more economical to the
purchaser than ten-pound piece
for five cents.
The larger piece will last much
longer will keep your food products
in better condition and will be
cheaper in the end.

DOWN RAILROAD TRACK
PURSUING SUSPICIOUS
CHARACTERS.

Early this morning while a delega-

waiting at the depot for the arrival OF
the Stroop train bearing the Third
Oregon. members of it noticed thre,
men bearing a suitcase emerge from
behind the corner of the depot and
start west along the track Just as the
block signal indicated that the train
was not far distant. They may have
been on legitimate business. again
they may have been bootleggsrs and
still again they NAV have been bent on
mischief toward the troop train.
Anyway II was this latter theory
that Captain Lola Rogers and Miss
EVELYN Sommerville acted upon. for
the men acted suspiciously. Reinforc-
ed by Joe Cox and p. T. HaIss, they
Jumped into Miss Rogers Packard and
started in pursuit. Miss Rogers
did not waste time by keeping to the
streets. she put her car on the rail-
road and drove It over the ties clear
10 its intersection with West Webb
street The men disappeared but "
they planned any trouble. they were
frightened off.

diers with apples and. as the trains
pulled out. they formed in line and

LONDON, Oct 27.-The British
continue to advance on the Flanders
front, Haig reported. The Canadians
repulsed two heavy attacks south and
west of Paschendaele prisonering a
number. The new positions were con-
solidated last night without enemy op-
position.
In the latest British advance west
of Paschendaele is machine guns
were captured. Most of the German
prisoners. boys of the 1918 class, are
a gaunt under-fed lot. The prisoners
are still being taken from caves and
caverns. The prisoners reached H.
600 today.
Petain's victory liberates scissors
from all possible menace of a Ger
man attack. The enemy has COM
pletely evacuated Filain.
The Flanders mud cannot stop the
British. The Tommiss consider the
Sticky ooze an inevitable concomitant
of advance. The steady down pour
is continuing.
The Germans in the marshes, must
face the British attacks delivered
from the higher. well drained ground
