Of the Union, and J. Newton Mind, the

Minneapolis will sell more lumber than

the richest timber dealers of the world
live here, and Weyerhauser, the lum-
Der king, makes this his home. No
man in the world represents 80 much
lumber as Weyerhauser. He owns timber
all over the country and he buys by the
millions. Just the olher day he paid over
100000 for 500 COO, 600 feet of standing
pine in Northern Minnesota, and the syn

told. within four years control all the
white pine Of Wisconsin and Minnesota.
