GROCERIES ARE AN ABSOLUTE
necessity to every human being.
From the day you enter the world
until the day you leave it you have
tQ patronize? directly or indirectly, some
grocery store. You have to eat to keep
alive. Among the earliest lessons taught
in life is a regard for your diet, by select
ing only fresh and wholesome food, and a
regard for your purse by practicing the well
established rules of economy. We can sell
you fresher and better goods and more of
them for cash than you can buy elsewhere
on open account. Look over our stock,
get our prices, and be convinced.

placing a value of $10 on the pack
ge. It left Salem In the afternoon
or evening, reaching Portland at
11:30 at night, was put in the office
of the express company at the union
depot and from there mysteriously
disappeared.
Jewels and Notes in Box.
In this box was one note, executed
by the sons in favor of the father for
138,600, bearing Interest payable at
stated intervals of less than a year,
and running for 10 years. Attached
to this note were the stock certificates
tield by the two sons in the business,
which had been given as security for
the loan made by the father. In ad
dition were two other demand notes,
one for $8000 and one for $6000,
'given by the sons at different Inter
vals In March and April last, togeth
er with stock and bonds, bank books,
old family Jewelry and other items
of more extrinsic and sentimental
than of intrinsic value.
Lpon the failure of the express
company to deliver the package im
mediately following its shipment,
August 21, Mr. Meyers made inquiries
here In Portland .and was told by the
express officials that the package had
been stolen. The affair was then

kept secret until yesterday though
detectives have been working on the
case and it Is said that they have
clues which may lead to sensational
developments at any time.
Responsibility Is Small.
H. Beckwith, manager of the Wells
Fargo company for Portland, this
morning said while the company had
no interest in the family quarrel, and
was only responsible for the $10 val
uation placed on the package, yet
from principle, the corporation would
leave no stone unturned in Its effort
to discover the person who took the
package.
Dan J. Malnrkey, one of Mr. Mey
ers' Portland attorneys, has but little
to say though what he does say Is to
the point. He contends that no one
would have desired to take the pack
age except he had some Interest In
securing possession of it. He then
Uaves these Interested parties to In
ference.
a peculiar circumstance connected
with the case Is the fact that the in
terest on the $38,600 note has fallen
due since the disappearance of the
strong box. When Joseph Meyers
atked for the payment of this interest
the sons demanded the note. When
they were told that the note, as well
as me one ror $8000, payment of
which was also demanded, had been
lost, the sons demanded security.
Meyers senior gave a bond with
John H. Albert as surety, for the pa
per and then the sons refused the
bond, saying they were not satisfied
with it and asked for a mortgage on
the real estate held by their .father.
Older Man Holds JVlilp.
Failure of the two sons to pay the
interest on the $38,600 note is said to
have given Joseph Meyers the upper
hand in his contest with his sons. The
note was so drawn, it is said, that
whenever there was a lapse In the
payment of Interest the whole note
became due and demandable. This
being the case Meyers senior is now In
position to demand the payment of
the entire $52,600 owed him by his
sons and In the event of their not be
ing able to pay to ask for the control
of the business. It is Intimated
strongly by his attorneys that this Is
what the aged merchant intends to
do, and that this Is the main reason
for his now being In Salem.
AN HISTORIC GUN.
Hudson liny Weapon Given Major
MoorlioiiKP by Polo Chnllfoo.
Major Lee Moorliouse'g latest ac
quisition to his museum is an old
combination shotgun and rifle and it
is a gun that has a history. The
piece was given to the major a few
days ago by Louis Challfoe, the
French-Canadian, who Is now mov
ing to Idaho.
Over B0 years ago Challfoe secur
ed the gun from Father Riley a Cath
olic priest, who was stationed at St.
Paul's mission In the Willamette val
ley. The gun had been shipped ov
er from London a short time before.
For 10 years Challfoe used the gun
In hunting and made his living there
by. The gUn Is an old muzzle loader
and one of the barrels Is for shot
while the other Is a rifle. Along with
the gun when It was presented Major
Moorhouse was a powder horn, made
from the horn of a Texas steer and
which Is much worn from usage, and
an outfit for molding bullets for the
rifle.
The gun Is a type of the weapon
used by the Hudson Bay hunters In
early days.

EYES
A very large number of children attending the schools are In
immediate need of glasses and yet are unaware of It.
EDUCATION depends largely on the use of the eyes. If these
are deficient then the chief basis of learning Js hampered.
OUR optician will give conscientious advice and recommend
the use of glasses only where it will considerably benefit the
child's vision.

Pendleton can have a good roads
convention October 20 if there Is suf.
flclent local Interest to Justify such
and $200 ran be raised towards the
slate good roads fund.
The proposition for a good roads
meeting here Is contained in the fol
lowing letter Just received by C. H.
Marsh, secretary of the Commercial
association:
As the Commercial association it
self Is not In a position to supply the
$200 needed It is said to be up to
those Interested In road building to
take the matter up and raise the
amount.
Portland, Sept. 4, 1908.
Mr. C. H. Marsh,
Secretary Pendleton Commercial
Association, Pendleton, Ore.
My Dear Sir:
Much publicity has resulted from
the Oregon good roads conference
held In Portland last month. ' Every
where Is manifested a determination
to make the good roads movement
bring real returns, and Judge Jno.
II. Scott and Judge Lionel R. Web
ster, two of the most ardent ' advo
cates of good roads in the whole
northwest, have been enlisted In the
campaign.
To the ways and means commit
tee (consisting of Messrs. J. H. Al
bert, Salem, chairman; Wm. M.
Ladd, Geo. W. Evans, J. S. Beall, Tom
Richardson, J. W. Bailey, state dairy
and food commissioner of Portland,
and A. A. Jayne, Hood River) has
been entrusted the mapping out of
the campaign, and we have named
Tuesday, October 20, as the date for
a good roads meeting In Pendleton.
Upon this occasion It Is the Inten
tion that both Judge Scott and Judge
Webster should be present, together
with such members of the ways and
means committee as can arrange to
be there. The cost to Pendleton will
be $200 and your community Is earn
estly asked to make Immediate
pledge of this amount this is neces
sary In order that definite arrange-,
ments may be made with Judge Scott
and Judge Webster to devote their
entire time to the work. You will
appreciate that It has always been
the financial side that has spelled
failure heretofore, and we believe
you will cooperate at this time to In
sure the success of a movement so
vital to the development of Oregon.
The ways and means committee
has pledged Itself to raise $10,000
and is going to do it, but for the pres
ent the members are personally re.
sponsible for the advance expenses
of the campaign, and there exists no
source of revenue other than by vol
untary subscription. This two hun
dred dollars will be considered a con
tribution from your community.
Judge Scott Is also planning to re
main In Pendleton over the 21st, In
case there should be any local road
building project you might wish him
to Inspect, or any gravel pit or rock
quarry you would like him to exam
ine as to Its suitability for road ma
terial. Ploase communicate your accept
ance very promptly to me as Secre
tary, care Portland Commercial Club,
and rest assured of our appreciation
of favorable and Immediate action on
your part
I am, for the wa,ys and means
committee, very truly yours,
W. L. CRISSEY,
Secretary.
