NOTES BY THE wAYSIDE.
One of the displays in yesterdays
procession that attracted general
attention, end especially that of the
little folks, was that of Ed Lamport,
the pioneer harness and saddlery

constantly growing business.

was in the procession with every
department of his business fully re-

best advantage. Mr.. Win, in con-

large business in this, valley, embrac-
ing, Albany, CORVALLIS and Salem.
Probably the most unique exhibit
was that of Mrs. d. l.. Fiester who
appeared with Misses Rose Barr,
Florence Masher, Ella Shipp, and
Linnie Rundlettin an open carriage.

and blue ribbon. This exhibit was
artistic, represented the business per.

their excellent turnout. This firm
has built up fine business in our
city and aside from their keeping "a
strictly first class stock they claim
that liberal advertising has contribu-
ted largely to the secret of their
SUCCESS.
Steiner, the fish man, had very
original exhibit, the leading feature
of which was a salmon about a rod
long made of canvass carried by a
man walking in the center. The
lone fisherman, with fishiug suit
and netting wrapped about him, was
unique, as well as the boy with a
silver dollar on his line for bait
That kind Of bait will always get q
bite, and Steiner not only has the
fish but gets the patrons to buy them.
The Dayton ste amboat excursion
and brass band arrived late yester-
day, not arriving here until noon.
This was Disappointment to many,
