Tuesday afternoon the task If in
voicing the stock in the Grant Elgin
harness shop was finished. Mr..
Egin has sold the business to Rex
Smith of Newberg, and the new
proprietor is now in possession. Mr..
Elgin has fine timber claim IN the
Salmon ri,er country and it is
necessary for him to be on it. He
intended to start for his claim, yes
terday. 1t is probable that Amy
Cameron, the capable harness max
ar, who has remained in the shop
through various arrangements, will
remain for a short time yet, but this
is not certain as he has had some
pretty good propositions offered him
of late. We bespeak Mr.. Smith the,
new proprietor, a continuation of the
liberal patronage which has always
favored the shop.
G. M. Coffey, proprietor of the
Corvallis Studio, has just completed
what are known as the Senior AL
buns. There are AZ albums and
each one contains 66 Photographic
one of each member of the class
graduating from OAC last June.
Enclosed in panel on the front of
the albums are the figures "U7,"
while on the back, in monogram.
are the letters "OAC." There are
all told in the AZ albums 1904
photographs. This represents an
immense amount # labor aud pains,
to say nothing of the wear and tear
to the nerves. The work is most
creditable and Mr.. Coffey has
right to be proud of his effort. He
will now take his vacation and ex-
poets to depart today for the noun
taips about 16 miles above Cascadia,
where he will make it his special
business to slaughter deer for a
period of two or three weeks, We
calculate to chew some venison our
selves on his return.
