We Insist on This

There are three requirements
which Miller Tires must meet.
First, they must average greater
mileage, type for type, than any
rival tire.
We constantly prove this. Eight
machines in our factory run two
tires each under rear-tire conditions.
Each tire is run $50 miles daily by
running extra-fast.

Tire Prices
Some False Ideas About Them

Should an extra Price buy an extra
grade tf,ee
It should not. Any frst-grade
tire should be built as we'll as tire
of that type can be built.
Cord Tires cost more than Fab
RIGS, and are worth the extra price.
Men VITO squire cost per mile are
coming to Cord Tires.
But any tire, Cord or Fabric,
should be built for the utmost ser
vice which that type can give.
The Winslow mail., 1920-11-19
Not 10000 Miles

Countless reports come to us on
Miller Cord Tires showing 10000 to
$4,000 miles Of service. And tales
of that kind are told everywhere, we
learn.
But mileage depends on condi-
tons = on size, care, load and road.
Millers are uniform, but they are
not used under uniform conditions.
In our factory tests we average
$4,000 miles on Cords.
But Miller Tire will outlast -
almost always any tire that you
place opposite, no matter what it
costs. Compare them under like
conditions, and see what mileage
modern tires can give.
You will gain new criterion.
When you buy a new car insist
on Miller Tires. Twenty car makers
now supply them and there is no
extra charge.

Sheep and Lambs

Though prices in the sheep division
were steady to 25 cents higher, quail
ty was rather plain, and there was no
particular snap to the trade. Most of
the offerings were short fed native
lambs that sold at $11 to $11.75. No
choice western lambs arrived Sheep

Horses and Mules

A further moderate improvement
was reported in demand for horses
and mules, and the general trade is
recovering from the recent depres-
sion.

Some Men Over-Pay

Some men pay extra prices, ex-

under prices for an under-grade, and
hope to save in that way.
Both are. wrong. There may be

Prisoner Makes Escape.

While at supper at the Com
mercial Hotel in this city last
Tuesday night. Percy Waterman
eluded his guard, slipped through
the front door and made good his
escape. Deputy Sheriff Smith,
and City Marshal Billow and
Others whom they hastily called
made hurried search for the pris-
oner, but he had evidently plan
ned his course well and he is still
at large, with no definite clue to
his whereabouts.
Waterman was brought here
from the Walla Walla section and
on Tuesday was given prelimi-
nary hearing before Probate
Judge Niles on the charge of
statutory offense against the per-
son of minor daa.hter of Fab
ian Laisure, who resides in Law
yer's canyon between this city
and Kamiah. To this charge he
plead guilty, and was to have been
taken to Grangeville yesterday to
appear before District Judge
Scales and receive sentence.
The fugitive is about 90 years
of age, is Of dark complexion, six
feet tall and weighs about 1855
pounds. He wore a stag shirt,
army pants. and high lace boots
and combs his hair pompadour.
He had been resident Of the
Kamiah section for some years,
but went to Walla Walla some
ago, where he was appre-
hended and turned over to the
Lewis county officers.

Lumber Cheaper-Means More
Building.

Spokane, Feb. PA reduction
of 10 to 80 per cent in prices Of
all Weyerhauser lumber products
lof the country was announced to.
day.
The reduction is guaranteed un-
| til June l and will be participat-
ed in by the eleven great sub.
sidiary companies Of the Weycr-
hauser interests.
Coming as the most staggering
blow at the tendency toward ris-
ing prices in all commodities, the
announcement of this reduction
was made public today through
L. S. Chase, general manager Of
the Weyerhauser Sales Company
of Spokane, general headquarters
Of the Weyerhauser interests.
To stabilize the lumber indus
try, to stimulate building Of
homes, and to take the initial step
toward the bearing down Of the
high cost Of living, the Weyer-
hauser Sales company has "taken
the bull by the horns' and will
do all in its power to bring about
"a revision Of conditions which
have been abnormal for many
the statement of Man
ager Case announces.
He said: "The interests COM
prising the socalled Weyerhauser
group have come to recognize that
the condition of the lumber mar
ket is injurious to the public and
to industry generally; that the
uncertainty, even more than the
price level, is demoralizing and
results in enhanced cost of build
ing and discourages constrlc-
tion."

County Spelling Contest March %

On March %, next a written
spelling contest will be held
tamong the schools Of Lewis coun-

ing to advices being prepared and
sent out by County Superintend-
ent of Schools Miss Wilson.
Since this is to be a written
match, definite plans can be made
for it and carried out without
probable interfe4ence by influ-
enza conditions. The regular an
nual oral and written contest is
set for March 19, the rules of
which will be along lines Of those
which have gone before. Preli-
minary matches will be held by
the several schools and winners
at these matches will compete at
the county contest at Nezperce on
March 10. But the holding Of this
event will be contingent upon flu
conditions within a limited time
prior to that date, and the mat
ter will be more or less in abey-
ance for the present.
The inter-county contest, which
was to have been held at Lew
iston on March 26, has been drop
ped for the reason that influenza
in sections of the five
counties concerned make prelimi-
nary work for it impractical.

Dismantling Old Opera House.

relegation to the has beens imper-
