Page Wcven Wire Fence is made to withstand the roughest farm usage it is possible for it to under go. No animal—bull, steer or stal lion—can successfully argue a point with this remarkably strong, elastic fence. This is a broad statement, it has been proved hundreds of times. Houses and giant trees have fallen on stretches of Page Fence. When they were removed the fence was found to be uninjured. This is just the sort of fence you want. We carry a big line of Page Fence in all styles—Stock Fence, Hog Fence, Poultry Fence, etc. If you need fence now visit us at once. Get it now while prices are lowest. We must reduce our stock and will cut the prices to the limit. Quackenbush & Sons, Eugene. Snay- Wy mi re Co., Cottage Grove. Creswell Hdw. Co., Creswell.

Mil ler, a member of the commission: J. M. Riley, Jr., an accountant, and W. C. Earle, an engineer. The facts involved in the issuance of the rail way commission order demanding a re-classification which would in turn bring a reduction of rates charged, are gone over. Statistics Are Given The order issued by the United States circuit court was based upon the assumption that if the rates went into effect the order would curtail the revenues of the company In such a manner as to result in virtual con fiscation. In this charge that the state railway commission endeavors to controvert and the facts present ed are largely of a statistical nature, going into the earnings of the com pany, its expenses, its mileage and its constructing and operating divisions. It is evident that the railway com mission depends upon two important factors in its repply: First, the pro fits on the mileage which has exist ed since 1896; second, a table of comparative charges in the classifi cation of rates, with the usual per centage of relation which exists be tween them in Washington.
