spectators as soon as they have passed
the Pavilion's threshold Other exiibi-
tors in different lines of trade may have
more space, but none are entitled to
more pains for the care taken and at
tractiveness of the whole display. The
activity manifested by these young men
show them to be active, enterprising fell
lows, whose energy and perspicacity are
indicative of business success. The pub
lie is far-sighted, and recognizing
these qualities, as well as the excellence
AND cheapness of their merchandise, the
people throng to their store to purchase
what they can rely on as durable and
worth the purchase money. No store in
the city is more attractiyely furnished
than that over which Messrs. Olds &
Summers preside on First street, near
Yamhill. In addition to the many other
valuable articles they expose at the fair,
is night lamp that is perfect gem,
and invaluable to housekeepers. Inval-
ids accept it as blessing. 1t gives
pure, clear light, and emits no disagree
able odor, an annoyance that becomes
unbearable to sick persons. They sell
an immense number of these lamps, and
the sale is daily increasing.
HARvEY's HOT WATER SYSTEM.
In the department devoted to ma
chinery Mr.. c. d. Harvey, of Oakland,
shows some hot water radiators and heat
ingapparatus, which should receive at
tention from every person who is inter-
ested in heating their building Mr..
Harvey, the patentee, who is in attend
ance at the Fair, claims that the advan-
tages of the hot water system as used by
him are, first, mild, pleasant and uni
form temperature; second, economy of
fuel; third, simplicity in its construction
and operation: fourth, durability; fifth,
less danger from fire; sixth, cleanliness
and freedom from dust and dirt. The
hot water radiator can be used in con-
nection with the ordinary cooking range,
warming one room from the same with
out any extra fuel being required. Also,
with the open CRATE, warming three
rooms with the ordinary fuel of one fire.
Also, with the water stove, warming five
or six rooms with the ordinary fuel of
one grate-giving a mild, uniform,
healthful atmosphere, free of dry
heat or poisonous gas of the air
tight stoves or hot-air furnaces.
Though Mr.. Harvey has had the system
introduced but two years. he has placed
it In the County Hospital, at Sacramento,
heating ten rooms 76x23, and four rooms
16x20, and supplying water for % bath
rooms. 1t is also in use at the free read
ing room at Oakland, the Poston Semi
nary, Oakland, and in many of the resi-
dences of such men as Rev. J. K. Mclean.
A. j. Ralston, j. West Martin, Noah
Kelsey and other prominent Califorss
mans, in every instance giving per-
feet satisfaction. Here in Portland
Mr.. Harvey is placing l,is radiators in
the Harrison Street School House, +. X.
ellis new residence, and J. Donneburgs s,
and will contract for number of others
in the next few days. We would advise
our readers to examine this system while
at the fair, and obtain Mr.. Harvey's ex-
PLANTATION of its merits.

cent ebonized and gilt patent rocker, up-
holstered in finest spun and raw silk,
trimmed with silk velvet plush; also
Turkish diyan of the same ma

of the divan is one of the finest
specimens of the upholsterer's art The
floor is covered with rich body Brus-
sells carpet, having white ground with
scarlet and black figures, shaded with
light drab, all forming pleasing bright
combination, and blending harmoniously
with the elegant furniture In front of
the dressing case is Smyrna rug, and
under the rocker Persian rug, both of
unique design. The appearance of the
room is enhanced by the bed being made
d }, with lace spread and pillow shams,
the latter trimmed with blue satin bows
and lined with blue satin. On the wall,
suspended from brass Eastlake cornice
pole, hang pair of elegant Nottingham
lace curtains of handsome pattern The
other room consists of dining room and
library furniture. The principal piece
is o sideboard and bookcase of entirely

Their exhibit is of such unquestion-
ed superiority, and shows such rare
taste and harmony in design and blend
ing of colors, as we'll as excellence of
workmanship as to make it the center of
attraction in that department.
IMPORTANT TO FARMERS The want of
a reliable book by which to calculate the
value of wheat in this market when
quoted at any price in the Liverpool and
London markets has long been felt, bat
which is now happily met in the
$ Wheat Dealers Guide" compiled by
J. r. Parish, manager of the Merchants
Exchange, this city, and which he
has arranged to sell at the exceedingly
low price of 25 cents per copy-cash to
accompany orders. 1t is very important
to any and all who sell wheat to be able
in less than five minutes to tell las they
can from this book the price of wheat
in this market when based on English
prices, which govern the markets on this
