tube through hole in a solid metal strip which makes
it smaller and longer proceeds When 1t comes out
the other side Of the machine It is four or hve inches
longer than when it entered The next process IS to
curve it. Some have simple curves, and Others double
curves like eccentric circles This curving process Is
delicate work and must be done by experts. The tube
is first heated redhot TO take out its temperthey call
it annealing at the factOryand when cold Is hled

is produced by hand pounding and work on the lathe
Manufacturers of wind instruments discovered long
ago that the longer the tube the lower the tone pro-
duced and consequently they make horns OF certain
size and tone after scientific principles well understood
An instrument with a certain tone can be made with
absolute accuracy and the sheet metal cut out by one
machine will be made up into thousand instruments
that will give exactly the same tone Slide extensions

MOUNTAIN PRODUCTS
WILL Be EXHIBITED
WESTON CELEBRATION
TO BE GREAT SUCCESS
Red Strawberries, Pure Cream, Home
Made Cake and Ice Cold Lemonade
VIII BE Furnished Free to Visitors
Date Is July 1.

Weston, Ore, June 23.-Strawber-
ry Day and Horse Show at Weston
on Saturday July 1, promises to be
a huge success, not only as a celebra-
tion, but as a means of exploiting the
varied resources of the mountain
country tributary to Weston. The ex-
hibit committee is arranging to make
a very attractive display of mountain
products, with a view to showing
that a small tract of mountain land
will support a family.
The pleading place, of course, will
be taken by the splendid strawberries
in which the mountain excels. These
VIII be served by a number of Wes-
ton ladies who comprise the commit
tee on refreshments. Pure cream,
homemade cake and "ice-cold lem
onade" will accompany the berries,
and all will be free to Weston's Wis
itors.
Tables will be spread in a roomy,
convenient and shady spot on the
normal school lawn for this big free
strawberry festival, at which it is ex-
pected that 1000 people or more will
be given a delectable feast. A plat
form will also be arranged for the
program of music and exercises which
precedes the banquet. Short speech
es will be given by local spell-binders
relating to the great possibilities Of
the Weston district in general.
The horse show is expected to prove
n ;pt
full feature. Many fine horses are now
raised in this district, and the best of
them will be seen at Weston. Tie
committee is arranging to give suit
able premiums in every class repre-
sented, and to secure competent
judges to make the awards. There
will be a grand free parade through
the principal streets, ending at the
show ring, which will be located on
the normal school campus.
A free broncho busting contest and
a free ball game will be among the
amusement features-both to occur
on the campus in the afternoon, fol-
lowing the horse show. Weston

exciting, as these two teams are eager
rivals and have had several sizzling
contests. 1t will be strictly amateur
ball. of course, but not necessarily OF
the erratic kind.
Aside from these two events. the
sports committee will schedule a
number of street sports and races tc
be given on Main street in the even
ing, after the ball game. Prominence
will be given to the novel and gro.
tesque in these contests, affording tne
crowd an opportunity to laugh and

parade of equestriennes is con-
templated to add eclat in general tc
the occasion, and lady riders are in.
vited to come to town with their
mounts.
The ladies' band of Weston will fur
