Considerable excitement peryades our
town on account of the Representatives Of
large amount Of capital having gone up
the Calapooia In search of fine timber.
Parties representing Sf7,ooo.ooo passed
through town last week and have located
all the available timber on the Calapooia
that has been surveyed. A party OF eight
under direction OF Mack Sawyer, who has
logged on the creek here for seyei al years
left our town Sunday evening In hopes OF
finding claims for themselves but found
hey were too late. All the vacant timber
claims had already been taken by the par
ties mentioned. People have thought
they had plenty of tImeto take up the I'm.
Der, but now iEd capitalists from Michi.
gan have got ahead of them. 'Tis only q
question OF few years when a railroad
will ascend this creek In quest of the fine
| timber. The parties who have taken up
this timber are also locating all the quartz
veins they can find and are making mar
OF the same. Let II be remembered that
Brownsville Il located just at the mouth
OF the Calapooia and when a railroad as
eends this creek II will pass through
Hrownssille--and all the untold wealth
along the creek will pass through Browns
vile In search OF market.
