Beaver State" realize that Forest
Grove is nationally known as the
source of Americas most perfect
archery bows. Pacific Yew, which
grows to perfection in Oregon, is
the material used, aud CAPTAIN F.
:. Barnes fashions it with skilled
hand into bows sought by experts
all over the continent and even
abroad. Though almost seventy
years of age, the CAPTAIN is himself
splendid archer, and such an en-
thusiost in his chosen craft that he
makes personal trips to the mount
aims each year to select Yew of Just
the proper grade and grain-the
altitude at which the tree grows is
an important factor. Occasionally
Il bow of rare accuracy aud highest
speed is created, and these are
dignified with names. Cyclone"
and "Whirlwind'' are famous
among archers.

Portland Commercial Club to King
Edward comes in letter from
Buckingham Palace, written by
General d. NJ. Brobyn, Keeper of
the Privy Purse to His Majesty

were sent to His Majesty arrived
quite safely and were thought very
highly of by the King and Others
who tasted them. | write to con-
yey His Majesty's thanks for the

a temporary one, but one of the best
built of the temporary schooIhouses.
There are eight large rooms arranged

light and comfortably furnished: all Of
the rooms have draped flags and most
Of them pretty plants. pictures and cur
tains that give a coy. homy atmos-

above the fourth and four first grade
There is very little yard room, the

in nearby vacant lot.
The small yard is filed with sand
drifted BY the wind and brought down
from the hills by the torrents Of rain
Of the past winter.
1t is very pretty sight ID look upon
