|MPOSTORS ABROAD

For the protection Of our Gus
toners and ourselves we are com.
PEELED to adopt this notice of warn.
ing. Certain parties canvassing
through the country for the New
Home sewing machine have been
representing themselves as agents
for the White machine. Of course
their talk was all New Home and
hot air, and they could not deliver
a White machine should you order
one from them. No New Home
sewing machine agent is author
lied to sell White machines. You
cannot buy genuine White ma
chine off New Home wagon.
A Singer agent is also around, a
Mr.. Booth, from Colfax, who seems
to have nothing better to do than
meddle with other peoples affairs.
His method is to follow around and
endeavor to break up sales by offer
ing an inferior machine at a re-
duced price. Of this we have been
reliably informed by a number of
customers. We are surely sorry
for any man who has nothing better
to do than practice such business
methods. Although he has made
the remark that he can whip six
White men, we think he will do
we'll if he can whip one. We know
that one White machine is as good
as six Singers such as this agent is
selling.
Now we are not selling New Home
or Singer sewing machines, and if
you want New Home or Singer
machine you will have to buy it of
New Home or Singer agent. We
are selling only the WHITE, the
king of sewing machines, and if you
want White we will treat you
right. We endeavor to do clean
business and we employ none but
clean-cut, honest canvassers.
Respectfully,
EDWIN ]. MAHAN.
Special agent, White Sewing Ma
chine Co.

all those who may be interested in

Survey Clay Deposits.

Professor Scion Shedd, head of
the department of geology at the
state college at Pullman, is now en-
gagged in a survey of the clay de-
posts of eastern Washington, says
the Union. Professor Shedd is well
known, not only for his topograph-
lcal map of the state of Washing
ton, but also for the admirable re-
ports made by him on the iron de-
posits of the state, and on the build
ing and ornamental stones. The
last report attracted such wide
spread attention that the state OF
California, through the mining bu-
reau, invited Professor Shedd to
make report upon the building
stones of California.
The college is now engaged in
the survey of the clays of she state
This study will include the investi'
cation of the deposits of clay fol
pottery and sewer pipe manufac'
ture, fire brick, paving brick, terra
Gotta, common and ornamental
bricks, for cement manufacture, and
In fact for all the commercial clay
deposits of the state.
