those in Michigan.
The facilities which Michigan affords for manufac-
turing and transporting lumber are great. the

United States east of the Rocky Mountains is 30
small that the value OF these lands must yearly adj
vance in a constantly increasing ratio. This sale
presents the greatest chance for selecting valuable
timber lands. either in large or small bodies that
has ever been offered In this country. The sale be-
comes necessary to provide for large debt Of the
Company. and will therefore positively take place
