much of his time to this branch OF the
art. he is recognized as a specialist III
this line, and is called upon for any
orders for private views OF residences,
animals, etc, doing his work with
remarkable care, even to the sky and
cloud effects. All tourists make liberal
purchases of these views, and the VII
lard party made large orders during
their visit to the State. Aside from MI.
Davidsons specially of landscape pic
lures, he Is one of the leading photo
graphic artists of the state, and enjoys
the largest country patronage OF any
Portland photographer, fact Of which
he is Justly proud.
TRIUMPH COFFEE POT.
In looking over the different exhibits
last evening we were endeayorlng TO de-
eide what new invention there on display
would prove the most beneficial to man
kinl. After a complete circle OF the
building. both in the malE hail and gal
lery, we were finally compelled to award
the cake to the Triumph Coffee Pot.
ANYTHING that will so materially lessen
the expenses of living as will the Trl-
umph. and at the same time enable one
to produce a better quality OF coffee
than can be made by any other process,
ton bv the press, and We are willing to
sound it's fame abroad throughout the
land. Messrs. J. l.. Williams Il Co., the
patentees. are giving away free coffee to
all who may come to their stand, near
the Third street entrance. This IS an in
vention which Is of great value to all
lovers of good coffee. 1t can be adjusted
to any coffee pot, and by its use one bali
of the quantity of the coffee is saved.
The pure flavor of the coffee is retained
from the fact that the-Triumph is abso-
lutely air tight. The expense of IT. IS
almost nominal, thus putting 1t within
the reach of every family. Williams X
Co. have applied for patent, and have
state and county rights for sale. Agents
wanted, who can obtain rare advantages
in working the Triumph. The head
quarters of the Triumph is at the office
of f. j. Haight and Co., No. % Morrison
street, Portland, Oregon.
THE COLUMBIA COMMERCIAL COLLEGE
Is represented in the center of the east
gallery by some of the most artistic pen
strokes ever displayed in the State. The
school that so sufficiently advertises 1T
self in the display of the penmanshlp
taught, yet finds 1t impossible to prop
erly set forth the merits of its system of
business training by this means. AS an
organization it is new having been formed
but two months ago, yet so well has 1t
recommended itself to the public that it
is on the high road to prosperity and
may be ranked among the permanent IN
stitutiQns of the city. The course of in
struction is thorough and practical, its
details simplified by competent instruc-
tors and its pupils will be sent out with
diplomas that will testify to thorough
ness and practical fitness for business.
The President, w. S. James, has no su-
perior and but few equals in artistic PEN
manship and is one of the most careful,
accurate and rapid accountants in
the State. His perfect reliability
is attested by hundreds of persons In this
city, where he has spent most of his life.
Being specially qualified to know where
of he speaks, his word Is regarded as
conclusive when he says that six
months course of Columbia Business
College will tit diligent student for
pracaicl life in counting room. But
scholarships are issued good for one
year. The work shown in the Pavilion
takes wide range, and the wonder of it
all is how it can be done with a pen
Two portraits IN pen drawing, enlarged
from photographs and executed entirely
with the pen, controlled by the skillful
H-----srars- @s-Mr. lanes. lead us to think
that nothing Is impossible to skill, taste
and industry. The Declaration of Inde-
pendence, in script as plain as print, and
as smoothly and evenly executed, fully
illustrates this branch of the magic art,
| while sample balance-sheet in its per-
feet detail represents the commercial de-
partment of the college. Parents desir-
ing to fit their sons and daughters for
practical business life will find it to their
advantage to call at the college office,
on the corner of Front and Washington
streets, Portland, Or, and further in
yestigate the facilities there offered.
FRANK ABELL.
Those visitors who pass through the
art gallery and enjoy the fine exhibit of
splendid Photographic work, have no
idea of the great trouble and cost to the
| public spirited proprietor such an ex-
hibit entails upon him. In fact, it does
not pay in a pecuniary sense to go to this
heavy outlay of time and money. But
Mr.. Abel never stops to consider these
where the public interest is concerned.
i He Is man of enterprise and dash, and
that Is the way he has won his way
| to the top of the ladder of fame as an
artist. We must confess the art gallery
would have been q meagre display, in
his special line certainly, but for his ele-
| giant contribution. We have not space
to particularize special features of his
| fine collection. In fact, it is all good.
Mr.. Abell never turns out poor work.
And this is why he has so liberal q
patronage at his fine gallery on First
| street. The poorest rs well as the richest
of his patrons are more than satisfied
are delighted with the pictures he pro-
