T HROUGHOUT the store you will find small
lots and odds and ends that we would be glad
to clean up rather than invoice them. A part of what
they cost looks better to us than the articles them
selves. Spend a little time with us, and perhaps a
little money. They will both be well invested.
An odd lot of suits selling for half the original
price.
Some good arm long overcoats to close for 50

The price is cut right in two on those warm over

Sample shoes have better leather in them. We
have a fine new lot of samples and they are selling
mighty cheap.
We are the only store in Lewiston that has a
genuine hand knit sox for men. Hand knit sox
wear better.
If the hat is your size and just as good as new,
what matters it to you if it is the last one? We
have a bunch of one of a kind. They originally sold
for $2.00, $2.50 and $3.00. Take your choice for
$ 1 . 00 .

As Mike Saw the Law
An Irishman wanted to take a

how to go about it, sought informa

"you've taken a homestead an' I
thought maybe ye could tell me th'
law concernin' how to go about it."
"Well, Dennis, I don't remember
th' exact wordin' us th' law, but I

LATTER NOW LEADS IN PRODUC
TION OF WOOL, HAS OVER
5,000,000 SHEEP AVERAGING
71/2 POUNDS TO CLIP
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec. 28.—For
the first time in the history of the
industry, Wyoming is now the ban
ner sheep and wool state in the
Union. Starting with one buck and
a half dozen ewes in the early '80s,
Wyoming has rapidly increased her
sheep holdings until now there are
being grazed on the ranges of this
state almost 5,000,000 sheep.
Range conditions are ideal, scab
ies has been eradicated, the sheep
are in splendid condition, and with
hundreds of thousands of tons of
hay in the stack ready to be fed in
case of emergency, the indications
are that Wyoming will increase her
( lead in another year.
Montana has enjoyed the proud
distinction of being the banner sheep
and wool state for many years, but
gradually Wyoming has been crawl
ing up on her sister state, and the
present year, due to unfavorable cli-jof
matic conditions in Montana and
favorable conditions in Wyoming,
this state was able to pass her rival,
in 1906 the average weight of the
Montana fleece was 7 Y< pounds, the
clip secured aggregating 12,535,250 (
pounds. The average shrinkage was
65. In the same year the average
weight of the Wyoming fleece was
7 Vs and the average shrinkage 69,
the clip aggregating on a scoured
basis 10,511,920 pounds. ~
In 1907 the Montana fleeces aver
aged .7 pounds and showed a
shrinkage of 63, the clip aggregat
ing 11,403,400 pounds scoured. The
Wyoming fleeces at the present year
averaged pounds, with a shrink
age of 69, the clip aggregating
10,763,840 pounds of scoured wool.

LACK OF WATER
EFFECTS MINING
COMPANIES OPERATING SILVER
LEAD MINES IN THE COEUR
D'ALENES ARE HANDICAPPED
BY LOW PRESSURE IN MAINS
WARDNER, Ida., Dec. 28.—The
scarcity of the water supply is still
greatly hindering the work «of the
mines at this place. The Bunker
Hill and Sullivan company, owning
the water system of the town, has
requested that the water be used as
sparingly as possible in the homes
and that none be wasted. The low
pressure in the mains has caused
some anxiety in case a fire should
break out in town and get beyond
control of the fire department.
Several days in the month the
Bunker Hill company has been corn
j pelled to lay off all its employes in
the upper workings owing to not
j having sufficient water to operate
the mill to its capacity, and for some
time the mill has only been able to
run at about half its usual rate,
Several nearby properties have
been compelled to close on account
the shortage of water and have
waited in vain for the fall rains to
| replenish the supply, but the freez
j up came too soon to make the sup
Ply of any material benefit. The
present warm rains of the past few
( days are hailed with delight here,
and if kept up will mean much to
the operators using water in the
running of theif plants.
NOT A TIME
FOR DARK HORSE
SENATOR SCOTT GIVES THIS AS
REASON WHY REPUBLICANS
WILL HARDLY TAKE UP CAN
DIDACY OF GOV. HUGHES
1
WHEELING, W. Va„ Dec. 28.—
Senator Scott in an interview yes
terday said of the presidential can
didates:
I ''Mr. Cannon has the advantage
j of the republican congressmen, all
being warm personal friends, and
ishould they go into their Individual
districts and make a fight for dele
gates it would make him a pretty
strong candidate, and he would be
hard to beat.
"I would say that Taft possibly is
leading at the present time, but you
know he is in danger of being
slaughtered in the house of his own
friends, or rather in the house of
Foraker's friends.
"It Foraker succeeds in getting a
fair share of the delegates from
Ohio, It is going to be pretty hard
to nominate Taft.
"Fairbanks is a good, clean,
strong man. and the country would
make no mistake in nominating him.
In my opinion he is going to show
a great deal more strength when it
comes to the convention than a good
many people look for.
"Knox is a good man; would be
perfectly safe, and probably there Is
no better lawyer in the United
States.
"Hughes, in my opinion, is not
well known and I do not believe the
republican party wants a 'dark
horse' or waqts to fake a chance as
to what the policies would be under
a man like Hughes."

AT LEAST 150,000 OPERATIVES
WILL BE AFFECTED BY PLANS
TO REDUCE OUTPUT 25 PER
CENT TILL MARCH 1
BOSTON, Dec. 28.—A genera?
curtailment of production in New
England cotton mills, beginning the
first of the year and continuing un
til about the first of March, is now
regarded as a certainty. The pro
duce will probably be reduced 25
per cent in practically all of the'
mills. Many of them will undoubt
edly be in operation but four days
a week during the next two months,
jand others, while running six days
weekly, may stop a quarter of the
machinery, as that policy is advisa
jble where there are contracts to be
filled before March.
It is said that practically all of
j the New Bedford corporations have
agreed to the curtailment plan and.
j that mills in Manchester, N. H.,.
• Lowell and other leading centers of
the cotton mill industry have ac-
quiesced in the arrangement. In
Rhodè Island those mills not tied up-
! by contracts are understood to fa-
vor a restriction of production. The
j curtailment will probably affect at
least 150,000 operatives.
