WEST FUR COMPANY The We!t ' Fur Company.' located on South High street, is a well-known institution in Salem, and does a large business in their line.

A New ThU firm started business In Salem last July and we are glad to learn from them that they' are pleased with the reception they have received from Salemitos.!-;"'?i"'-;" The firm Is oomposed of W. A. Sampson, who' came here from Mon tana and is an experienced business man, and Mr. R. W. Glddens. Mr, Ciddens has been In the notion bu li nes in this same line practlcajly all his life, having worked up from the chore boy In tho store to proprietor. He came from Cottage Grove, Ore gon, where he had been in the 5, 10 and 15 centi Ktore business for five years and made it a success. The-' store is located at 141 North Commercial street, and is well ar ranged, as a business of this kind should lie.'' havina: a T4-foot front, by 0'leet depth. This -store-was for merly known -as Comptm's Variety Store and has always had a prosper on i trade. - t The firm informed the writer that If the suoject of this sketch was atked what his ' occupation was, he would undoubtedly say "farmer." In fact, for. all days of the week except Saturdays, when tho weather wiU permit of farming operations, if you were, to call at his. office at 401 Masonic Temple, you would prob- -ably rind aj sign reading "Eack j Sat urday," which interpreted means that liohrnstedt Is out in his khaki clothe s on some one of the farms in which he Js Interested, or else out on In specting trips In the interest of the two farm loan associations of which he Is secretary-treasurer. Uohrnstedt was -raised on a faim. was for many years in . banking and real' estate mortgage work in the middle west. and while he came west to atte nd strictly-to farming ho cannot irt away. from his early training of In vestments and insurance, therefore when tho Federal Farm Loan Act was put into operation he was amor.,? the first to . organize among his friends and i neighbors tha Ilortlcul- v turai National Farm Loan Associa tion, and as a result the association has approved loans for nearly $100, 000 and nearly $50,000 has already been distributed among the farmers at a rate of 5 per cent. This work attracted the attention of farmers in Ilentcm county, and, he waa called there to assist in organizing the Hos kins National Farm Loan Association of which' association . he was also elected secretary-treasurer. This as sociation now has applications on hand of nearly $100,000 which will be completed during tho next few months. In other words, Dobrnstedt is iCjuietly helping the farmers in Marion. Polk, Yamhill, Clackamas, Linn, and Lincoln counties to better their financial condition, and. Inci dentally, bringing more money into the Willamette valley. No worthy ap plicant ever comes but that Bohrn stedt taket. a lively Interest in him. X)ne would think that these duties would keep Bohrnstedt fairly busy, but aside from those he turns a large land' deal once in a while, writes a nice line, of fire insurance, and, be tween times' as field agent for the' Travelers Insurance Company, writes ; enough life insurance to entitle h!i.i ! to membership in the "S100.GC3 a year club" class
