MAKES FINE DISPLAY
Paint Exhibit in Adams Windows At
tracts Much Attention.

We note with much interest the way
some of our enterprising local dealers
are putting forth every effort this
spring to make their stores attractive.
This week Adams & Brobst Company,
whose progressive policy has been
strongly shown this spring by their
large, attractive advertisements in our
columns, have a fine window devoted
entirely to house paint.
On close inspection one finds not
only the usual display of paint cans
but long cards showing rows of houses
in new and handsome combinations of
colors for exterior painting. An attract
i've window border brightens the ap-
pearance of the whole store and draws
much attention from the passers-by.
1t attractively illustrates how easily
and well any shabby surface in or
about the home can be fixed up.
The Adams & Brobst Company de-
serves much credit for this window
and we are sure it will prove of much
benefit in reminding people of the
many things around their homes that
can easily be beautified at house
cleaning time.

Salem Foresters Pay High Compliment
to Gerlinger Railroad.

! That the Salem Foresters deeply an
preclated the courteous treatment ac-
corded them by the management and
train men of the Salem, Dallas and
Fails City railroad on the occasion of
their excursion to Black Rock last Sun
day is evidenced by the following clip
ping from the Salem Statesman:
Never before in the annals of the
toresters of America order has there
been such an enjoyable and healthful
tlme and recreation spent as that of
last Sunday, when about 40 of the
lodge, accompanied by ladies, boarded
private train bound for Black Rock,
where they spent the day 'picknick-
ing
The excursion train left West Salem
at 3 o'clock Sunday morning, but due
TO the rain not very large crowd was
on hand. However, those who braved
the light storm were in the best of
spirits when the train pulled out, and
the same feeling of merriment and en-
thusiasm prevailed upon returning
home, in spite of old ]. Pluvius act
ing up something scandalous at differ
ent times.
After the party had spent the great
er part of the day in Black Rock, they
returned to Falls City, where another
sightseeing was INDUCED in, and then
to Dallas, where the train laid over
an hour and then home.
Noticeable appreciation was made
during the trip of the fine treatment
accorded the eXcursionists by the train
crew. George Savage, a prominent
Forester and local business man, paid
the trainsmen a high compliment by
saying he had never, in all his exper-
ience travelling all over the United
States, seen such consideration, accom-
mediation and courtesy extended to pa
irons of the railroad as the trainsmen
handling the Foresters' excursion dis
played, and that on behalf of the lodge
and it's members he wished to thank
them heartily for their generous help
in making the excursion a success. Not
a want was overlooked by the atten-
tive trainmen, who won the good will
and esteem of all for their careful and
agreeable attendance"

WOOL WILL BE LOWER HANDLE CROWD WE'LL
Prospect Less Bright Than That .,
Year Ago.

The sheep men OF tba No..,,
e'i'ze clearly enough that It is usa-
'ess tlls year to expect anything like
uupllcate of the wool market of :
year ago" said one of the leodira
rortand dealers to the Telegram "ara
ior that reason the chances are that
very large part, If not the bulk of
'ne oregon clip this season will be dis
poseu OF at the public sales
What the sales will develon IN ~
way Oh prices remains to be deter
mlned' but in view of trade conditions 6
III the East 1t is impossible at tb;s
uihe TO quote better than IA to ~
cents on Eastern Oregon wool and 10
TO Il cents on Valley products. It is
the general apathy of the East ra-
garding wool that is in the main 70
sponsible for the situation here inst
now. News from the Atlantic sao-
ooaru indicates lack Of interest in
the wool market that is something ont
OF the ordinary at this time of the
year
Eastern buyers will of course at-
tend the public sales, but the general
impression seems to be that they are
not likely to inject any excitement into
the market this year. In other wears
these buyers have usually been on tbe
ground, buying freely and at good
prices before shearing was generally
under way. This season they are hold
ing back, and the market as a consa-I
quence Is more or less depressed"
Mohair Shows Strength.
The mohair market, on the other
hand, shows strength, and values are
gradually working upward. This is
attributed to the fact that in the man
centers of the East stocks
OF Old hair are generally we'll cleaned
up and to the competition here of buy
ers for the local and Eastern mills.
shearing is well along throughout
the Valley and the bidding for the clip
thus far offered has been spirited.
Starting at prices around "a cents two
weeks ago, the market has been stead
lily raised until mohair now is quoted
at 27h to 2S cents pound. 1t is even
reported that sales of extra quality
hair have been made in the country at
a price based on 29 cents delivered in
Portland.
Interest in the mohair situation
centers largely in the Dallas pool sale,
which takes place April 16. There
will be approximately $4,000 pounds
of mohair offered there at that time.
Other pools are to be made up at Hills
boro, Eddyville and elsewhere for sale
at later dates.

LADD VISITS DALLAS
Drives Out to Oakdale and Inspects
Rock Quarries.

C. e. Ladd, the millionaire banker
of Portland, and two of his business
associates came up from the city yes
terday morning and in the afternoon
drove out to the Oakdale rock quar-
ries to look over the ground and also
to note the progress being made by
the surveying crew engaged in locat-
ing a preliminary line for railroad
from Dallas to the quarries.
Mr.. Ladd is heavily interested in
the company which has been organiz-
ed to establish a cement factory at
Oswego, and which expects to OBJ
tain a large supply of its rock from
the Polk County quarry two miles
west of Dallas.
The surveyors engaged in locating
a line for a railroad from Dallas are
making good progress and are now at
work a short distance this side of the
Oakdale schoolhouse.

Many Orders for Printing.

The Observer office, always a busy
place. has presented a scene of un-
usual activity this week, the orders for
printing coming faster than it was
possible to handle them in an ordi-
nary working day. Every member Of
the force has been working overtime,
and it was only last evening that the
office caught up with the usual run of
work. Without the linotype, it would
have been impossible to handle all this
printing. AS an example of what can
be accomplished with this machine,
we might call attention to the fact
that 1900 lines Of this paper were com
posed by our operator, Mr. Farnham,
in four hours yesterday forenoon We
are willing to leave it to any linotype
office in oregon If that isn't going
some"
