Wynooche Lumber and Single Co.
Montesano.

Montesano is not only blessed with
a rich agricultural country surround
ing it, but can also lay claim TO many
large manufacturing enterprises,
among which is that of the above
named concern. The Wynooche
Lumber and Single company COM
prises one of the important links
which goes to make up the chain of
Montesano's large enterprises. and
for this reason it is but right that
they should receive special mention
in this industrial edition.
The plant has a capacity OF 200
600 shingles per day. and is equipped
with machinery of the latest make,
for the manufacture of shingles En-
ployment is given to twenty people,
all of whom are we'll paid, thus ii
can readily be seen that their opera

tesano as a business town of no small
Importance The officers consist OF

Reuben H. Fleet.

One of the most prominent real
estate offices in Chehalis county is
that of r. H. Fleet of Montesano. Lo-
Gated as he is at the county seat he
has a good field in which to work,
and is making some of the biggest
deals in farm and timber lands in
this section. Mr., Fleet states that
he was born and has grown up in
Montesano, and this gives him an i'm
mense advantage over dealers who
are comparative strangers in a COM
munity.
Among Mr.. Fleets recent deals are
the Frances Smith ranch of so acres
to Edward Valentine for $4,000, j,
H. Rutherford farm of IL acres to

store in the city. Mr.. Freeberger
carries a complete line of the finest

first class drug store.
In the compromising of prescrip-
lions this store stands second to none.
They are painstaking and reliable in
every way, and prescriptions are COM
pounded with the utmost care from
drugs of the purest quality and stand
ard strength. The interior of the
store presents a most metropolitan
appearance, and is one that reflects
credit upon the city. Mr.. Freeburger
is a hustling and wide-awake bust
ness man and has by his honorable
dealing, together with his pleasing
personality made his business a phe-
nominal success.

solid ground, rising gradually in ter

Montesano Hardware Co.

A prosperous town, such as Monte
sano, situated in the midst of a pros
porous country, calls into existence
large mercantile houses to supply the
needs of the local public. The above
named concern is the largest and
leading hardware store in Montesano,
and is conducted upon the highest
principles of business ability.
The house deals in shelf and heavy
hardware, stoves, ranges, paints oils

everything known to the hardware
trade including a fine line of pocket
and table cutlery, tools, etc. The

secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce, he organized the Montesano
Fruit Growers and Berry association.
A $4,000 cannery has already been
built and a good many farmers have
large tracts in berries. Mr.. Fleet
says that Montesano will soon rival
Puyallup as a berry raising center.
Land around the Sound city is valued
from $500 to 5000 an acre, and
whereas at MOntesano it runs less
than 500. Berries grow wild every
where, even on logged-off lands and

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.

Rev Father Nc Guinness, the highly esteemed pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, and Carl Ba- der, the genial marketman, were the victims of a remarkable runaway ac- cident, last week Wednesday. While coming down the Blackville road rid ing in a market wagon hitched to a pair of horses, one of the horses stumbled. This started the other horse
 which stumbled also, and Father Me. Guinness, who was driving, was thrown to the ground and the lines flew over the horses back. The horses began to run madly. Mir Bader had lately re covered from broken collar bone and didn't care to jump. So rolling over he worked himself to the back of the wag- on and gradually got to the end board. Watching for a favored landing place he let himself drop near the sand bank above Dallas Wy ants. His head
