Michigan lumber-men have inves-
ted largely in timber land near

as S25 an acre for some of the
land. Most of their large purchase

The Republican banner for the
Pacific coast belongs to Washington
Territory The vote for Allen was
400 more than the vote for Harrison
in California and 654 more than the
vote in Oregon. Washington is
magnanimous, however. Our peo~
pie give way to California and Ore

though, we will constitute a state,
and with resources Esuperior to any
others on the coast will have poles
long enough to knock down the
persimmons.

wishes known in reference to Gener-
al Harrison's cabinet, we believe
there would be but little difficulty in
securing & practically unanimous
expression from Oregon and WASH
ington in favor of Senator Dolph.
