Several diamonds were placed in bowls at Lowell's and ot Sanders' Shoe Store along with cut glass brilliants. Persons making a selection from the bowl should have if examined at Weisfieild's, . supplier of the diamonds to determine if the brilliant is a diamond or cut glass.

It is a welded tuft, volcanic rock, obtained from Snow bird Mountain and is known vari ously as Snowbird and Nomad rock. Duane Coble has the mining claim for the rock. A western motif is being used to carry out the Lariat theme for both the restaurant and the lounge, said Mrs. l.effler. The walls will be fin ished with knotty cedar and fur nishings will have an earlv day styling. The restaurant will seat 1 10 persons and the lounge can accommodate around 100.

The Treasury Department said $78,907 worth of bonds were sold in the county last month, compared to 48(i,tilii in March 1859. Sales in the first three months of 1960 still lead the amount during the same period of 1959 $291,299 to $286.5(12. The amount sold in Oregon so far this year is S10,67fi, 853, up 9 per cent from the first three months last year. uon i oianie me rans ,ucts not manufactured in the West Reproduction of a letter, dated April 1 from the Assn. of American Kailroads, acknowledges that wide door box cars are scarce even now when plywood and dry lumber are moving unseasonably slow (due to late winter storms and tight mort gage money). The letter acknowledges also that wide-door cars are imperative to plywood and dry lumber shippers, as the cost of loading narrow door cars is excessive and imposes un productive expenses to an industry suffering other problems. Heavy demand for the wide and double-door 40-foot box and for all type of 5U-foot cars, not only for plywood and lumber shipments but 1 ! modities, is stressed. The supply is not adequate even though box I car loadings are running about five I per cent under last year. There is ! a surplus of other types of box i car equipment. Wide door and 50 foot rar owner ship by the railroads has been in creased by mora than 70.000 units in the past six years, the letter states. These types make up over 50 per cent of the 13.7:i9 new box cars on order on March 1.

The hydraulicolly activated loading boom, pow ered off the truck motor, is versatile in its use, as demon strated in these pictures taken by Chris' Studio of Photog raphy. New Method Used In Loading Logging Trucks A method of loading logging trucks, new to this part of the United Stales. Is now being used by Keller Lumber Co. and the com pany has taken on the dealership for this new loading device. Clarence Keller, who with his three sons and two sons-in-law, own and operate the lumber company, said that the new equipment is pro duced by Prentice Hydraulics Co. at Prentice, Wis. Keller, visiting in Wisconsin, watched logging operations with the boom loader enuiiimcnt and saw that a cheaper job of log load ing was being done. He decided he would like to take advantage of the same methods, so bought one. Powtrtd By Truck The loading equipment consists of a boom, mounted on the truck and powered off the truck motor. The hydraulically-aclivated boom j swings over a S0 degree arc. It ran grab around the middle of from one large to six small logs with a set of huge tongs. The de vice has a lifting capacity of be tween 4,000 and 5,000 pounds. It i particularly adaptable to salvage j logging. Fight to 16-foot length logs are the most practical for this1 method of loading. I The truck driver can double as j operator so that only one person is needed, according lo Keller. The method also eliminates much of the danuer. Conventional methods re quire a man at both ends of the truck lo put in end hooks. The new syslem eliminates (his need. I Keller slated thai, in addition to handling the agency for the equip nienl, he expects In use more of it on his own lumber and logging operation. Loaders will come in all different sizes and styles, with' heavy duty models having a 15 foo ! boom . Keller Lumber Co. Is located three miles north of Roseburg on Highway 99 Bit. He came to Hose hurg seven years ago, and with his three sons, Dan, Juhn and Kcilh, and the husbands of his two, daughters, Mary Hansen and Judy Clark, started first in the logging business. After a couple of years j Ihey built their own mill, which cuts, wholesales and retails studs. ; 4 f ;? . i Miller have qualified sales and service personnel to handle the equipment.
