The good work goes on, and our
frierds each week seem to take a
greater interest in the news columns
o. the Gazette and help us with
many a bright, snappy Item. Our
work is easier when it is appreciated, |,
and our friends are showing their
interest with helpful bits of news
from their several parts of town and
cou ntry. The Gazette is proftsd,
the reporter is lappier and the
people feel amply repaid for a few
mements' trouble in sending or
phoning in news when, in the next
issue, they see their individual item
written up and printed 1t is a
good thing for everyone concerned,
and the kindness of our readers in
giving US news is a help that is
much appreciated. Let everyone
join in the good work.
"The editor and wife went out to
Austin Buxton's farm, Sunday, and
found ene of the incest farms that
we have had the pleasure of looking
over for some time. Mr.. Buxton
has his new barn almost completed
and it will be a very commodious
affair with cement floor in the base
ment for the COW stable and ample
room above for all other purposes.
He has silo and uses up-to-date
methods in his farm work. We
were treated to some of the finest
strawberries in the land. They
were OF the Oregon variety and were
dead ripe. Mrs. Buxton has pro-
duced some new varieties of roses
and peoples, but las as yet given
them no names. They are very
beautiful" FOREST Grove Times.
Austin Buxton is an old Corvallis
