Mr. Veatch Is a pioneer of the CD's, lie is conspicuous for his firmness and fidelity to his political convictions, ami had It been within the power of Ills party to have given him the position of honor his talents merit, the nation would now know him for his real worth as his real neighbors do. 11.

H. M. Veatch, Is a native son of Lane county, and spent bis boyhood on a farm. He was educated in the common schools of Cottage Grove and at the Oregon Agricultural College. His knowledge of rami life, of the needs or the inr-nier, and his wide acquaintance, have done much toward his success as a merchant.

It may be stated In this connection that Mr. Madsen makes easy terms to the right parlies In selling diamonds, and it should be borne in mind that the diamond is not only a thing of beauty, but, as well, a piece nf property that never de predates in value, and Is always ready capital in time or emergency.

It also should be that. H. C. Madsen is a perfectly reliable man, whose guarantee as to quality and value of diamonds may be Implicitly relied upon. He is also as skilled a watchmaker as he Is a reliable business man.

It is nol many centuries ago that kings and princes placed their jewels and treasures with jewelers for safe keeping, and jewelers were, to some extent bankers. The clockmaker was, of old, too. something of a craftsman, and approaching to a profession.

In our modern limes the jeweler, watch and clockmaker has been evolved into one. In the jeweler and watchmaker of today, if he is to succeed In business, there must be united the honesty of those who were trusted by kings, the best skill of watchmaker and jeweler, the judgment of all three, and he 1 with Mr. Wynne Its and C.

From the summits at elevations of from 5,000 to feet erosion has advanced in all directions toward the base. Deep V-shaped basins have thus been sculptured on the west slope descending Into the AVIIlametle and Umpqua rivers.

It i would seem that when an Oregor community has gotten one or mon really worthy people from a state of the Middle West to settle In its fir must have the confidence of the people. We think It not too much to say of Mr. Hans C. Madsen, that he possesses all these pre-requlsites of success in a remarkable decree He is a native of Denmark, and served his apprenticeship there, to the jeweler, clock and watchmnkiiiK trade.

At the ace of nineteen years he had finished his trade and, uelns ready to start out In life for himself, he came to the I'nited States, and for thirty years worked as a watchmaker, jeweler ami diamond setter. Ills last place of residence before comlni; to Oregon six years aito. was in Chicago, where he worked for the best jewelers of that city for many years. On coming to Oregon, Mr. Madsen was attracted by the beauty and healthfulness of the Willamette valley, and chose Cottage Grove as his first place in huslness for himself Ills long residence in Chicago had made hlni so well acquainted with the best of everything In jevelry precious stones, clocks, watches, and all pertaining to the modern jcwelr store, that he was able from the first to bring to the notice of the people of Cottage Grove a stock of goods unexcelled In excellence and stvle.
