the government lighthouse, marking
the junction of the two rivers, the boat
swings into the Columbia for the trip

The Kane Logging Company have
closed down their big logging camp
for a few weeks. Early in September
they will resume operations with a
double force and Dairy Creek will
again be filled with fine saw timber.
In the mean time everything will be
put into perfect shape for the winter’s
work.
One of the finest hardware stores
west of Portland is that of Goff Bros,
on Main street. They are adding
more goods to their stock every day
and one of the latest additions is a
shop for cutting and fitting pipes.
Their line of stoves and ranges is the
largest in the city. In their imple­
ment department they handle the
Champion mowers and binders, which
are guaranteed to give satisfaction.
They recently received a consignment
of hay tools, carriers and forks, the
latter of the Myer’s manufacture which
are known to be the best on the
market.
