"A chittim buyer was in town
the other day. He wanted old
bark, and his top price was four
cents. He refused to pay more
than that price. He found none
for sale in Corvallis at less than
five. At Wa1dport he bought a
carload of Henry Nice. The bark
is to be delivered at Astoria, and
four cents is the price paid for it
delivered there. 1t will be shipped
from Wa1dport to Astoria by
schooner.
-Mohair is coming to town in
small lots. The price yesterday
was 2o to 80 cents. Shearing will
be completed within short time.
Two nannies sheared by L. H.
Hawley, yielded together seventeen
pounds of mohair. The fleece Of
one weighed something over eight
and a half, and the other a little
over eight pounds. Some of the
wool was more than a foot in length
and exceedingly fine. The entire
lot is said 10 be extra good. Some
the feeces will probably be secur-
ed for Benton's Lewis and Clark
exhibit.
The space assigned for Benton

Clark is said to be unusually fine.

one side, Idaho on the other, while
its front faces the entrance. The
thing to do now is to save wool,
save mohair, save vegetables,
grasses and everything else the
best and let II. T. French, Ben.
tons Lewis and Clark man know
where to find it. He will do the
rest.
Work is Still going forward al
a1ively rate on the Independen,
telephone company's lines. Tele-
phones were shipped this week by
Mr.. DeVarney for line that has
just been built by farmers between
Kings Valley and Wren. Two
lines are building from Corvallis to
Philomath, to accommodate the
growing demand for such service
in that town. This week Mr.. De
Varney shipped to Plainview the
switchboard that is to be used in
the new system just installed there.
The local exchange at Brownsville
has just been completed by the In
dependents. Another line is being
carried from the Bey Rickard place
to accommodate residents of that
section. Another fact of interest
is that Scio has gone over to the
Independent company and has or
dered from Corvallis switchboard
and 100 instruments, to replace the
Bell company's phones.
