People Are Directing Their
Steps to the Great Red Tag Sale
At no time during the preparation of our Eighth
Red Tag Sale did we dare to hope for such extraor
dinary attendance, even though we were certain the
values to be offered would merit the attention of a
vast number of people.
Since the inauguration of this Sale last Saturday
people have been in this store from outlying districts
that rarely ever visit Lewiston, and then only on oc
casions of unusual importance.
That the Red Tag Sale is more than we claimed
for it in our original advertisements is evidenced by
the fact that thosu who were here on the opening
day are returning with their neighbors to share the
fullest extent in the Bargain giving.

adapted to the kind of wear a Petticoat receives. Nearly every

CUT RATES IN
WASHINGTON
RAILROADS AND STATE COMMIS
SION AT WAR OVER REGULA
TIONS AND RESULT MAY BE
CUT TO 2y a CENTS
! SPOKANE, Jan. 21.—Railway
passenger rates throughout this
state may be cut to 2 A4 cents a
mile, says the Chronicle, unless the
Great Northern either retires its
mileage books or changes their
form, and this the railroad refuses
to do.
i The contest, which will probably
be tried in the courts, has arisen
over a rule which the commission
has promulgated, and which the
Great Northern refuses to obey.
The order in question requires
railway companies in dealing with
mileage books, to instruct their
I conductors to pull on'y such num
ber of coupons as would be equiva
lent at 3 cents to the regular fare.
One instance is that the exact
,distance between Seattle and Olym
,pia is 73 miles, which would cost
: passengers, at 3 cents a mile, just
$2.19. The railroads, to meet
j competition, charge only $1.80 a
I trip. When, however, a man is
I traveling on mileage, the conductor
j pul's 73 miles. The commission
I rules that he must only pull 60
mules, in order to g've the man
owning the mileage the benefit of
the rate of 2^è cents a mile, at
which rate he has paid for his
mileage book.
The railroads say that if the
rule of the commission is enforced
by the courts they will retire their
mileage books. Commissioner J. C.
Lawrence has stated that the retire
ment of mileage books will probably
be followed by the issuance of an
order by the commission for a hear
ing on the subject of reducing pas
senger rates to 2 % cents a mile.
The railroads can, if they will,
avoid the controversy by issuing a
mileage book like that recently put
out by the O. R. & N., where the
mileage coupons are designated in
cents, and the conductors are re
quired to pull only the regular fare
between stations, instead of cou
pons representing the actual mile
age. ___

The Fighting
Watch
For It
Chance
By ROBERT W. CHAMBERS
ILLIISTRATFD BY BERGER, RYDER AND JONES
?
Has a man a fighting
chance to overcome
an inherited appetite
for strong drink and
to win a woman who,
while admitting she
loves him, deliberately
chooses to sell herself
for wealth and station
I N this story the gifted author conducts the
reader into the inner circle of New York
society showing him the fast set in their gid
dy rounds of pleasure or their fierce combats
for business supremacy. As he reads he will
diecover that happiness dwells in the human
breast as much in the gloomy grandure of a
Fifth avenue mansion as in the cottage of
the poor. So he finds his supreme interest
and sympathy fixed upon the unhappy
couple—old New Yorkers both of them—
whose friends declare it would be the wildest
folly for them to marry because of heredi
tary tendencies on both sides.
Because the interest in this love affair and the
author's brilliant satire on New York society have
made "The Fighting Chance " the most eager
ly sought and the most widely talked of novel of
the year, we have secured the serial rights
and will print it in
