Spiders Web as a Negative.

of day may be spent in collecting
and printing cobwebs. The process
is easy. Let him get the farmers

ing ianan,' - thinned with turpentine
and colored from a terra, Gotta tube.
Then let him take some old window
glass or few cleaned photo plates,
and 60 in quest Of clear web with
a good center. He will find it in an
outbuilding or fence in the open.
When found, let him spray it, then
bring up dry plate of glass behind
it and lift it from its moorings. In
about two hours the web will be dry
and so hard that the plate can be
washed without any injury to the
web. From plates thus secured he
may make prints to his hearts con-
tent To make combination pic
lures put the plate over any clear
negative and print through both of
them. For printing the webs them
selves blue print paper may be used
to advantage, inasmuch as it SIM

some settlement work during Lent.
"There was an old woman whom
she visited every few days. She

she was secretly pleased with the
attention she attracted as she passed
up and down the narrow, squalid

"Your neighbors stare at me a

one morning.

FUSH OREGON
TO the FRONT
EASY WAYTo ADvERTlsEsTATE
And Tell Our Eastern Friends All
About the Superior Opportunities
We Possess.

On April goth last the Oregonian pub
ished special industrial edition devot-
ed exclusively to the exploitation OF
Oregon. 1t probobly contained more
special and miscellaneous informa ton
about Oregon than any one publication
that has ever been issued. 1t is peculiar
ly useful and valuable to the homes
seeker, because it gives the latest and
most reliable information about so many
different subjects that the homeseeker 10
naturally interested in. Almost every
department of industry is specialized,
formation of highly valuable character
is given extensively and in entertaining
form.
Residents of Oregon who know its ad.
vantages as com pared with the congest-
ed and depleted East, and who still have
friends back there whom they would like
to see here enjoying the good things OF
this favored state, can aid in a splendid
work now without cost and very little
effort. If you think your friend would
be interested in knowing more about
Oregon and might eventually become a
valuable citizen, send his name and ad-
dress to the general passenger agent Of
the Oregon Railway & Navigation Com
pany Southern Pacific at Portland, and a
copy of this special edition, with a COM
plete summary of the several subjects
treated carefully indexed, will be mailed
to him promptly. In this manner you
will be the means not only of doing your
friend good turn, but helping to stimu-
late the growth and prosperity of Ore
gon.
Don't forget that commencing Septem--
bsr LIST and continuing daily for two
months, tickets will be on sale at almost
every railroad station in the East to all
points in Oregon and the Northwest at
what has come to be popularly known as
"colonist rates." These rates are the
cheapest general long distance rates ever
established. and enable one to reach
Oregon from any part of the United
States at but trife more than one cent
a mile. They are the greatest incentive
to colonization and progressive home
building of any known agency, and if the
restless, dissatisfied resident of the East
is made to know beforehand the advant-
ages he can enjoy here, the problem ID
solved, and the star OF empire will con-
tlnue to move steadily westward.
Now is the time TO spread the gospel OF
Oregon, so that it may be heard and
needed by the time the rates 60 into,
effect. Send one name or two, or q.
dozen, and you will be exerting worthy
influence toward ths upbuilding Of our
state. Send them to your nearest South-
ern Pacific sgent or to VIM. McMurray,

Fire Killed Timber.

Government tests of fire killed
timber have demonstrated that this
wood is good and should be consid-
cred as thoroughly seasoned timber
as far as its use is concerned. Fire
killed timber checks badly when left
standing for any length of time,
and this is an obstacle in the way of
its use for some purposes. Timber
which has been killed by fire should
be generally used within one year
after it has been killed. but salts
factory railroad ties have been made
from timber killed fifty years be
fore.
