OFFERS OPPORTUNITY Corvallis Man, Just From Fair, Says a Few Things About Oregon Exhibit and Tells Public What He Thinks Would Be Profitable Investment "Corvallis and Benton county could not do a better thing right now than to send an exhibit of- fruit and vegetables to the Ore gon building at the Seattle fair," says Dr. Wm. Johnson who has just returned from a trip through the Northwest and " Canada. "There is nothing in the Oregon building beside which Benton county fruit and vegetables would not loom up handsomely and just now everything there is Eugene and Marion county. Eu gene pictures are" there that bathing girl, rainfall stunt at Eu gene and one sees them at every turn. Then he runs into a Eu .gene man talking Lane county to ' beat the band. When he gets' away from -Warren, . lie; bumps into the Marion : county man. . These people not only talk their .own counties, but if occasion of- -..lexis may put in a gentle KnocK at Benton, which Warren claims was awarded its blue ribbons through favoritism. We have nothing there to show and of course the knock goes. , Septem ber will be the best month at the fair, and I can not but believe . that a Benton county exhibit there this month would more than tiav fni itself TVma m tinued Dr. Johnson'. " A General Impression Speaking of the Seattle1 fair in general, Dr. Johnson agrees with most in the statement that it is more compact and more beautiful from the point of landscape gar dening. However, the- natural setting is not so satisfactory as the fair atPortlarid." He thinks the display of machinery not -comparable to that at Portland. 7 X - " iHU WUU- nor is the Manufactures building -as acceptable. The Spokane ex hibit, which is really beautiful, looked crOodto him and hp fonnrl it possible 'to admire California's exhibit of bottled fruits and vege table's showing :' tremendously in its magnified form. Bought Canadian Land Dr. Johnson and John A Jack son, a Portlander who will locate here shortly, went up to Calgary to look at v cheap , lands there. TJiey looked at the cattle more than the country, saw that they were fat and noted stacks of hay several years okt This was am ple proof to them and they "go1 bled up some of the . English do minion. Dr. Johnson was naf. ticularl Jnterested r in the fact that Calgary, a city of 25.000. lias but eight bars, these .bemg an hotels;, They open "at 6 a. m and close at 7 p. m. ' . FALL AND WINTER MILLINERY STYLES Just a few words about the fall and winter styles in millinery. - . They were never more diversified as to color and shapes. There is, in the more subdued modes, a soft blending of harmonious color, - while the striking and daring styles are not lacking in that taste which gives to millinery an art peculiarly its own. -"y-- : The Magpie, 'Oriole and Wisteria, so en ad finitum. : ' In modes for hair-dressing, hair orna ments, combs, barrattaes, puffs, hair rolls and switches, nets, etc., the very latest are to be found here, I make a specialty of shampooing and manicur ing.
