' No one would recognize the old
iron-planer that went through the
fire when the Meohanical hall at
the O A C burned down a couple ef
years ago. After the fire it was
purchased by the .Franklin lion
Works, of this city. Mr. Franklin
has just finished rebuilding it and
c person could not tell it from new.
Competent judges declared it to be
fully 80 per cent a9 good as it ever
was.

Only those who were dirctly inter

It is the intention, providing suffi

C. C. Shafford, who formerly
operated his telephone bracket and
pin factory in East Portland, moved
to Corvallis some months ago, and
associated his plant with the Cor
vallis Mill Company, whioh makes
a specialty of cutting Oregon oak
and hardwood generally. Five
men are steadily employed. The
manufacture of fir cross arms are
now included. Mr. Shafford's is
the only concern on the coast
which makes a specialty of this
class of wo.k, and is meeting with
good Euccess His customers In
clude all the telegraph and tele
phone companies operating on the
coast. The bracket and pins are
made entirely from Oregon oak.
Heretofore these supplies were
shipped from the East, it being the
prevailing impression that Oregon
oak was not suitable. One tele
graph company writes that the Ore
gon product is superior to the East

supplies from the Oregon factory.

Some people, who h ave "itinnot
to burn" have an Idea that the
piace to trade is in a large city.
While to a limited extent this may
be true, in the main it is expensive
trading. The retailer in a large
city has high rent and high license
to meet and in order to do this must
charge it to his customers. And
take the expense of going or send
ing to a larger city for this, that or
the other thing into consideration,
and you will save money to stay at
uome, Duy at noma; and have your
money circulated at home.

A letter from Prof. E. R. Lake
states that he left Washington citv
for Oregon on the 17th inst. He
has been away on his trip to
Europe in the interest of the de
partment of agriculture of the Uni
ted States government since Jane
last, and has been instrumental in
securing quite a fund of informa
tion -regarding European plants
and fruits that will be of great
value to our people. He colleeted
and forwarded to Oregon Agricul
tural College a fine collection of
plants and flowers for the green
house.. These came by mail. He
also gathered many varieties of
dried fruits in France and Switzer
land and other European countries
which were forwarded to Washing
ton city in triplicate the agri
cultural department retaining two
of them, the remaining one coming
by express to Corvallis. Prof.
Lake writes he will be glad to get
back to Oregon.
