Speaks for Itself.

The exhibit of the Corvallis
Sawmill Company at the State
Fair attracted so much attention
that Col. H. E. Dosch asked for
it in order to place in the Cham
Der of Commerce in Portland.
Well might it attract attention.
1t was in the form of a board, six
Feet square, consisting of many
different kinds of wood glue
jointed together and dressed
down to a finished surface. This
served as a sort of background
for some very artistic wood dec
Grafton, and also showed to ad-
vantage the contrast of the
various woods. Over this was
planted, in relief, spokes, telloes,
hounds, table legs, stair banis-
tiers, head and corner brackets,
insulator pins and brackets, and
numerous fancy ornaments, all
of which are among the various
articles manufactured by this
company. All of the wood used
was native of Benton county and
consisted of fir, cedar, cotton.
wood, maple, ash, birdseye ma.
pie, various kinds of oak, and
laurel.
The whole was most artistic
in design and the workmanship
was of the highest order. The
Sawmill Company have decided
to allow the Chamber of Com
merce the exhibit. The inten
ton of that body is to make :
special point of this exhibit il
regard to the numbering Interests
of Oregon. 1t excited a 1ivel!
interest in and admiration o
many Fasteners at the Stat
fair.
