C. S. HOSKINS Jacksonville A new business opening in Jacksonvile last week was the Jacksonville myr tlewood shop, at Fouth and East California street, which is the former location of the Jackson ville Clothing store. The proprietor, Walt "McGuire, has on display a large assort ment of handmade myrtlewood household articles such as lamps, lazy susans. cake plates, wall plaques, candle sticks and salt and pepper sets. He plans to keep the shop open for boon buying and 'looking' every day including Sunday. McGuire was formerly in busi ness in Eugene, and stated that he has several hundred feet of cured wood which he brought with him. The wood requires a year to each half inch of thick ness to be properly dried, he said. His workshop and equip ment for turning out the articles is in the back of hii display room. He does all his own work and designing. According to McGuire the Myrtle is one of the most beauti ful evergreen and is found only in Coos, Curry and a portion of Douglas counties in southwest ern Oregon and in the Holyland. The tree is round-topped, with a dark green foliage reaching a ' height of from fifty to eighty feet during its lifetime of from 250 to 500 years. The average sized tree used in the manufac turing of novelties is about two feet thick. Some few of the old trees are from six to seven feet in diameter. Its leaves are thick and glossy, smooth on the edge and very aromatic when crushed. Myrtle is a hard wood and has one of the greatest color ranges to be found in any wood. It varies from light tan to deep golden brown and from shades of gray to almost black and oft entimes with the various hues of the rainbow intermingling. Many of the articles on display in his shop show the proof of this. His collection includes small myrtle wood gold pans and picks. That will be sold as souvenirs of Jack sonville. McGuire also has living quar ters in the back of his shop, and Mr. and Mrs. Vern McGuire and family, of Eugene, were recent visitors at his home.
