They bad rut through the wood under the

aud was made by Robert Pratt on a writteii
order banded him by a Isiy of 13 years of

er to a point, aud was made from a piece of

Keiitl! Iteiiil!
It is a selling machine advertisement, it is
truo.
It is iml an old stereotyped story.
We bie s'ltuelhint! of interest to you,
whether you wish to buy or not.
We have a machine quite unlike anything
else. New principles! new Ideas!
Its name is familiar. It is the new High
Arm "Davis."
You say you have seeu it; you are mis
taken. It is a new pattern ; a new model.
Did you ever see a sewing machine with
only six working parts? If not you never
saw this new machine,
The old method of (ceding from below is
entirely done away, aud all tho complicated
machinery couuoctcd therewith taken out and
di-.pcused with. No nuichiuory underneath
to clean or oil.
The new method does not slop at soutns,
but steps evenly over them.
There is only oue tension to regulate. No
holes to thread through.
It is a tuecLunicul wonder, yet uo more
interesting for what it is, thuu for what it
will do.
Edison said a few jears ago: 'Although
sewing machiues aro considered quite per
fect, the sewing muchiue ol tbe future will
so far surpass tbein that vonr machiue of
to-day will be laughed at.1'
It is the only machiue having steel roll
bearings for its needle.
The only machine having a suppoit for
the needle after it leaves the needle bar.
This "New Davis" is as (ur ahead of tho
old machiues as tbe telephone is ahead of
tbe speaking tube.
iou cuu t corapri ootid it. urn wou t
believe it unless yuu come aud see (or your
self. It will pay you (rum curiosity. Wo
lire so much interested in this ourselves that
wo are anxious you should see, know, tell,
nud help us get theso (nets Mure tbe people.
We nay again, come and see, whether y ou
wish to buy or not.
Ladies, come; tailors, come; mechanics,
come; experts, come; everybody come and
see this new model machine, aud learn what
it will do.
Why is Ibe Davis the best?
Because, with the Vertical Feed tbo
pressor foot is always raised from the fab
ric wbeu tho (eed takes place, and presents
no rrsistauce to seuim or ridges, and the
needle being iu tbe labrio, moving with tho
Vortical Feed Bur on tbe goods behind the
needle, makes the stitch uniform iu length,
aud renders it impossible to full one piece
while tbe other is stretched. For the same
reasons the machine is capuMu of sowing
elastic goods, making a smooth and flexible
Beam with stitch alike on both sides, also of
sowing any uumborof thicknesses without
basting, operating with equal facility ou the
heaviest us well as the lightest fubric.
Because it is light running, simple in
construction, and has a less number of
working parts than any other machine It
has the greatest number ol practicul attach
ments (or doing every desirable Btylo o(
work, all automulio iu their action, ami
made of of tho Best Materials, iu tbo most
workmaulike maimer. It will do a greater
varioty of work than all other machiues
combined, aud is the acknowledged pioneer
and leader in sewing machine decorative ait
work.

Junction has experienced another disas
trous blaze, whereby $10,000 was lost in
smoke and tlamc. Our sister towu should
have adequate lite protection. It costs no
moro first thau last. Tho Pilot of Feb. 20lh
gives tho following account of the fire:
Last Saturday morning about 1:13 o'clock,
fire was discovored iu the Commercial hotel,
between tho ceiling of the kitchen nud the
Btugo in the opera house. Tbe fire had
gained conBiderublo heudway before it was
discovered. Tbe (lames spread rapidly 11s the
building was of a vory Intlaintnalilo nature.
Voile a number ot gmmt-i were sleeping iu
tbo bouse, souie of whom barely escaped by
grabbing their clothing and running down
stairs. The adjoining buildings were soon a
mass of flames, The wind at the time wss
blowing strong from the south find the fire
was blown direct to the bulldiug of Kiik A
Lee, which stood on the opposito side of tbo
Btreet, and in n very few moments it had
caught ou Urn and was reduced to nsbes.
For a lime it looked as II the entire row of
buildiugs imrth o( tho Commercial corner
wus djomed, but (orluuiiloly after Kirk &
Liu's store caught the wind changed to the
West.. Advaiitiint' ivhs taken ol I bis, mid II
sluing bucket in icmle. was brought to bear
on J, IV. Kirk's barber shop which stood
soiiin thirty reel away, and by bard woikit
was saved tiiul lhe progress ol tho liio was
tared.
Very few things were saved from the hotel.
Kiik Sc Lie saved about oiio-foutth of their
stock, mill the po.-.tollbo effects, which wore
considerably dumaged by the rain which was
pouriug down dining the time of the fire. I.
A. Mills, editor of the Pilot, who hud rooms
tip stairs iu tho rear of Kirk Ac Lee's build
ing lost nil his household eflccts. The fire
is suppoaed to have caught (rum tbe kitchen
flue of the hotel, Tbe losses ns near as ob
tainable at present ato as follows: Commer
cial hotel building and fixtures, $1,000; Kirk

The hardwaro stork of J. W. Starr, and
tbe merubimdise stock of U. M. Jackson,
were greatly damaged by removal. A heavy
rain fell during tbe night and np till noon
ou Saturday which produced a good i-flol.
Hud it been dry nothing could havo saved
tbe remaining buildings ou Front stroei

Junction bos had of any oonsequence for
some years. It is thought that brick build

A t'unnory Proposed.
A meeting of citizens was held in Eugone
l-rnlay morning and preliminary talk had
looking to tho establishment ot a cannery in
Eiigeuo. W. II. Abratui proposes to put his
plant and property nt a reasonable figure
into joint stock company. In a few days,
after plans aro formulated, our citizens will
be called upon to subsoribo Block and help
thn etitorpriso along. It is only by united
effort that necessary mauufacturiug enter
prise uiay bo secured for our town, aud it
should bo realized that to support our in
creased growth and population, means
should bo provided by which the surplus
labor can bn employod, besides giving
later residents uu opportunity to earn
tbeir living,
A ruiiuery would give employment to
many laborers, besides making a market for
farmers and gardener iu which their pro
duce can bo sold. Whatever is done, no
time should be lost, as contracts with grow
ers must be made so they can know what to
depend upon, uud be able to furnish the
necessary produce lor the cannery,

Is feared that bis supplies have become ex
hausted. Mr, Hatch, another miner, started
to climb the mountain on the last day of
December. As I bora were 7 inches of snow
at liluo river at the time and it snowod hard
during the duy, it is supposed that he per
ished. Ila was an old man and it is thought
was not equal to climbing tbo steep moun
tain. A rescuing party consisting of John
Hixon, Jas. Wycoll', Sir. Finn and probably
some others, culoulutod to make an attempt
to reach llio lop of the mountain this week
and find out the condition ol the men, A
subscription paper has been circulated in
Eugene to partially compensate thorn for tba
tiresome trip. It is thought there is 20
feet of snow on the mountain at present.
