gCHASIEs' FAIR
Noticeable displays
THE OREGON TREE SAWYER.

This is a very important lnYentlon III u
country so heavily timbered as Oregon.
1t is ON display at the west END OF the
building in the main hall, and Is a great
attraction. 1t is a very simple arrange
ment. but durable and inexpensive. In
saving down trees one man can do the
work of three choppers 1t is well
odapted to saving trees close to the
ground, can be adjusted to the tree in
one minute, is light, and can he easily
carried by one man. 1t was invented by
W. Hampton Smith, Portland, who Is
now ready to fill orders from all parts OF
OREGON and Washington. The price Is
so for the saw, and it will save that
amount in three days labor, ,as man can
easily cut down thirty large trees in one
day with it. Mr.. Smiths address is 26S
Front street, Portland, Oregon.
THOMPSON, DE HART AND co.
This we'll known Portland house made
much smaller display of goods at the
Fair than they did last year. Their i'm
mense increase of business during the
season and the rush of orders to supply
the fall trade is their only excuse for not
making as full an exhibit. They, how
ever, display samples of standard goods,
and one can see by them the solid trade
| they supply. Four years ago the house
came into existence and to-day 1t stands
| at the head of dealers in its line of goods
| on this Northwest coast. One of the
partners, Mr. f. j. DeHart, the past sea-
son made business trip to theEast, and,
| aside from making an immense increase
IN the supply of their goods, arranged
| for direct importation and shipments.
The North Bend" few weeks ago came
direct to Portland consigned to this
| house loaded with fine Cumberland coal
for blacksmiths' use. This coal is fine.
and is unmiXed with inferior and worth
| less articles, is much of the coal sold IN
| this market from San Francisco. This
| house guarantees its coal and it will
stand the most searching test. They al
so carry large stock of hardwood lum-
ber and wagon material and can fill or
| ders for any kind of goods in that line.
BY being direct importers they are able
TO give country customers such low
prices that the agent of large Califor-
MIA house was forced lately to admit that
he could not sell goods to the Oregon
trade in competition with Thompson,
| DeHart Il Co.

Exhibits in the new gallery above ma
chinery hall the finest specimens of the
gon OF the one dozen samples shown,
not one but is perfect in every detail and
elegant in finish. Entering this gallery
by the stairway to the left of the western
entrance we view this display collec-
lively and pronounce it without hesita.
tiOn one of the very finest representatives
of Oregon industry shown. Viewing it
in detail we note "Cabriolet" of ele-
CANT design and finish, in which Presi-
dents wife might be proud to take an
airing; next in order is an Extension
top phaeton," equal in workmanship to
the first, ard looking suggestive of pleas
ant drives in the future; following this
are two top buggies, single seated, sub
stantial and elegant; then comes the nov
city of the group. four passenger
English dog cart" the passengers to
form "thoroughbrace" for each other
as they ride in pairs, two taking advance
and two recediDg views of the landscape
as they travel. The foOt-rests, DASH
boards, springs, ETC., in this novel vehi-
Gle are complete, and show that they are
designed with the simple view of COM
fort to the traveller. Then we have a
'Webfoot cart, complimentary to Ore
gon and destined to be favorite in its
class. a side spring, piano top buggy,
simple in construction and elegant in fin
ish. An Oregon hack, made with refer
ence to durability and capable of bearing
six passengers with ease and
comfort over the worst of winter roads
without danger of d breakdown, every
piece well and carefully fitted; buck
board so handsome that the idea of
becoming tired while perched upon it,
even in the most abrupt mountain passes,
can hardly be entertained, and light
running gears, showing the strength and
nicely of construction upon which all are
founded. Cards announcing that they
are entered ''for competition" are at
tached to most of these vehicles, but VIC
look in vain for articles in their line that
can hope to compete with Mr.. Espey's
display. Thoroughness in work, com
pleteness in detail, elegance in finish,
durability in construction, combine and
are rendered apparent in each vehicle
shown, stamp the industry that con-
structs and places them on exhibition as
one of Importance, that has only to be
seen to be recognized by the public. A
description of the specimens cannot do
them justice, and those who are prepared
to recognize and appreciate skill and in
dustry as combined in mechanics, will
not fail to visit Mr.. Espeys carriages
now on exhibition at the Mechanics Pa
vllion, and sent out from his establish
ment on Salmon street between Front and
First.
