Now is tlie time to buy your 4th of July Suit, we have the
largest stock of Fine Clothing iu the county.
Two weeks ago we made a deal with one of the Largest Manu*
facturers of Shoes in the United States. The factory was flooded
for a short time during the spring freshet, and could not get their
April orders out. Consequently a great many orders, consisting
of Thousands of Pairs of shoes, were countermanded by peopJe who
were in a hurry for their goods. We, with ten other large shoe
merchants of the state, bought the entire countermanded stock at
One-Third Less than the manufacturer's prices. All new lasts and
toes direct from the factory. Will be sold at Regular Wholesale
Prices. The manufacturer's loss will be our customer's gain.
Stock consists of Ladies', Misses', Boys' and Children's,Shoes,

From the Pacific Coast.
Long Beach, California,
May 29th, 1901.
Mr dear Brother and Sister:—I am
sitting close hy the edge of the blue
waters of old Pacific,—so close that
with the ebb and How of the tide, its
crested waves seem to toss the white
form at my feet. Behind me and not
far distant lies the purple-tinted peaks
Got the Sierras, forming a most' picturesque background.
A little stretch of imagination carries my vision over and beyond those
peaks, till my gaze is fixed on a cottage
io tue Bast where not Very far awav
is found the sweet-scented clover and
apple blossoms, also fields of waving
grain. Thus do my thoughts go back
to tbe dear ones while almost the entire continent separates us.
A smalt yacht containing a fishing
party just landed, carrying several
large fish and many smaller Ones.
Three of the fish were trailing on the
ground,—the heads reached about to
waist of the man who carried them.
It will soon be high tide when it
js a most interesting time at the
beach.
A few steps away is a young five-
year-old picking shells, and as the tide
goes Out he is following it up closely,
and grabbing up the treasures in haste
—then scampers back before the incoming waves overtake his little bare
feet.
A short distance away a company of
gerf bathers seem to enjoy going out
f^meefc the breakers as they come
dashing on shore, and so high are the
waves that the foam is going over
their heads, and I can not enjoy
watching them any longer. It looks
%qo venturesome to me.
WedtiesSav 8:30 p. m. I just came
ap from the beach, which is only two
blocks away, and the sight so charmed
me J Holered till lace,
The heat view is formed by walking
#*ay out to the end of the pier, which
Jjtibends'a distance of 1,600 feet in the
water—then you aro directly over the
breakers as they come JrolUng In. The
reflection ot the moon upon the water,
Udded to the lights from the shore,
■giveslite white-capped waves agoldeo-
JtiotSd hue, which makes a picture ho
-gjPQ-bttta master artist could paint.
$fie lights just around the bay at San
'.'j&dro Harbor, four miles distant, is a
•gritty sight. The ceaseless roar of
■Jbe breakers as they dash upoa the
shore charms and fascinates me till I
feel now, that I would never become
weary ot the noise.
May 30—Thursday evening. This
being Decoration day 1 attended tbe
memorial services. At the close of the
address a most unique ceremony followed. A long line of school children
led the parade, tbe other orders following. They had garlands of flowers
—such a profusion I neVer saw before
on a like occasion—and continuing the
march a short distance and down to
the wharf where they cast all that
wealth of flowers out. on the tossing
billows that roll oyer nayal heroes'
graves in the briny depths below. Is
it not a beautiful tribute to pay to the
memory of our unknown dead who
sleep beneath the sea?
A California lady, Mrs. A. S. Forbes
of Los Angeles, bas the honor of being
the originator of this new idea of kissing the waves with blossoms in memory of those who sleep below.
This new movement began in 1900
and is being universall adopted, not
only on the Pacific and Atlantic
shores, but word comes from the interior that floral tokens will deck the
waters of the inland seas and larger
river, where so many brave men sacrificed their lives to the service of their
country.
Long Beach has grown rapidly in
the two years since 1 was here before,
lt has developed into a lively little
city of 3,000 permanent residents, and
during the summer has thousands of
Visitors, many remaining during the
season*.
It is only twenty miles from the
city of Los Angeles, and many make
this their summer home. I have
greatly enjoyed my week's outing at
the beach. Saturday night Mr. Gray
is coming to accompany me to our
home in the city, when old ocean with
its attractions will be left behind.

Ex-Governor Pingree Dead.
Hazen S. Pingree is dead, but his
memory will be fresh in the minds of
the common people—tbe masses—long
after m#ny of the more gallant, and
more .refined leaders are forgottoo.
^. He was a man of marvelous energy
and 'wanted to be doing something
every minute. He was a real servant
of the people, but from the lack of
tact, diplomacy and scholastic learning, he often failed to accomplish the
end sought. With battle ax in hand
and in hot pursuit of his enemies, he
often assailed his best friends who
chanced to come between the pursued and the pursuer, He was not an
original thinker, but he had an aptitude for absorbing the ideas of those
around him, and if he felt so inclined,
would bend his entire iron will and
unrelenting energy to put them into
effect.
He loved controversy and was a born
dickerer, thus was it no easy task for
the corporation attorney to floor his
adversary. He was unreliable to the
extent that he considered any disagreement with him was to apply an
epithec in the form ot personal be-
littlement.
Those whom Mr. Pingree really loved, for in his narrow circle of intimates he was a very kindly and loyal
friend, enjoyed his confidence through
thick and thin, and It was almost impossible to sh'ake that confidence.
When we review the career of Ha<:en
S. Pingree we take courage ta believe
that thfe people are never indifferent
when their rights are assailed. They
are only biding their time—awaiting
the man and the hour.
What we are sure of here and now
is that a leader has fallen; that there
was still work for him to do, and thai-
he has left no successor. An unique
and powerful, if not towering or wholly attractive, personality hat* passed
from among us.
