Of the lDmber trade between Western

that Mr.. A. +. Tultis of this city. Who
has q lumber yard here and sawmill
At Centrslia. s1ld twelve carloads OF
lumber to parties in Wslls Walla. The
lumber viii be shipped from the mill.
La spite of the advantages enjoyed by
Western Oregon mills, which. % IL al
legged, have an advantages ia freight dis
criminaiiou on the Oregon Railway and
Navigation CoDpsny's road. they eau
not monopol "a the trade, either due TO
the fact that their produot is Of inferior
quality or that they cannot furnish lum-
Der At the mill rates as nere The West
ern Washington lumber Is unsurp iss@d
IN quality, and the supply Is almost IN
hunted, the huge forests IN the foothills
being barely touched. The completion
Of the Cascade division will be the means
OF creating an excellent market for Pu-
get Soaud lumber IN the eastern portion
Of the Tsrrit ,ry, where the lumber will
be In great demand. The present rates
ef freight by way Of Portland and along
the Columbia river, are so high tBat by
the time the lumber reaches its destlna-
tion, Walla Walla for instance. its value
has increased from about - to nearly
$50. This Ia ouly for rough lumber, and
finished lumber increases IN value In
proportion. However. with all these
drawbacks, the sound mills occasion
ally manage to secure and supply orders.
