Plant fruit, plant walnuts,
plant horseradish, plant berries,
plant everything that will grow,

land Tuesday morning where she

That there is an upward ten
dency in the real estate market

at $200 per acre.
W. H. Waggoner, who has been
in charge of the Perkins Phar
macy, left Monday for Portland,
where he will locate. Mr. Wag
goner made many friends while
here and we bespeak him a plea
sing situation wherever he de
cides to stop.
A. M. Arant was in from his
farm Monday and paid this office
a pleasant call. Mr. Arant has
several filbert trees on his farm
that yield very well and there is
no reason why the Willamette
valley should not furnish filberts
for the coast as well as walnuts.
Filberts begin bearing in from
one to two years from time of
planting and can be set between
the rows of walnuts if so de
sired. Winegar & Co., have sold to
Sullivan & Goodman a seven
horse power gasoline engine of
a new pattern from any that has
ever been in this section. It is a
double cylinder engine and it is
said to be better in many res
pects from the others. It is an
air cooled machine and has few
er parts than most of them. We
are glad to see some one take up
the matter of a woodsaw as it
has been one for the contentions
of the Herald, that we needed
such an enterprise here. We hope
the gentlemen will meet with pro
per encouragement

and other trees this fall and win

Mr. Butler reports he is short
several volumes in the "Normal

out two or more years ago, be
fore the present system was

out having left town and no doubt
they are now on the shelves
where they were left at the time.
Those having books should look

were taken out in this way, will
confer a favor on Mr. Butler by
notifying him and he will get
them.
