In your pocket
And it mean* money out of your
pocket if you don't. Our argument
is as simple a* a-b-c. If you make
a practice of shopping at the city
stores, or if you order your goods
shipped in by mail, you have only to
figure up what these good* have cost
you, and compare the total with what
the same bill of goods yookl have
«oat had you bought it at boms.
For instance the railroad or stage
waste, the goods you buy that you
don't need .the higher prices you pay
on account of the stupendous over
bead at the city store, all these things
must be paid out of your pocket In
addition to the value of the goods
themselves, plus a reasonable profit.

planation of the situation.
Farther effort was made Saturday
by City Engineer M. L. Morris to open
a highway through the east end of
(he city that will meet the situation
growing out of the pavement con
struclion on Second Avenue north. A
route was laid out that will take traf

ei g h t street south to First
avenue,
j that the going is rough in spots, but
j he la hopeful that it will be possible
jfor automobiles and motor trucks to

With traffic forced off the east end
0 f Second avenue by the new con
stnmtion, the situation resulting from
continued wet weather has at times
during the last week been critical.
Scores of can coming In off the Belt
road hare stalled and much of tee
south and Sixth avenue north, east
re Twenty-sixth street, is a network
0 f trails that have been followed until
they became impassable.
The situation has been aggravated
by the seasonal truck-hauling of ooal
the'from the Sand Coulee mines, widen,
added to the normally heavy traffic
coming in over the Belt read, has da
»troyed nearly every road that could
be opened daring wet weather. Th*
Brit road probably discharges moral«*
traffic Into the city than any other
highway serving Girat Falls.
The gravel road which has until re
cently connected the end of th« pav
ing on Second avenue with the Belt
highway was torn out as a prelimin
ary to paving this link. The grade
territory between Second Avenue
had been completed and S. Birch *
Sons, the contractors, were ready t*
start laying the paving when th#
snow storm of September 19 brought
all work to a halt.
Engineer Morris said Saturday that
at least 10 days of the most favor
able weather will be necessary be
fore laying of the pavement can be
started, and in the meantime another
route for traffic through the east end
of the city will be maintained at a.
high a standard as possible. Posai
bility that weather conditions will
prevent laying the paving before the
opening of winter was fo r e s e e n in
expressions made at the last meeting
of the city council. In this event, H

go over until spring, but travel will
be possible over the grade after a
