DEMAND FOR ASBESTOS
Chicago Fire Responsible for In
creased Demand.

The recent theater fire at Chicago,
in which great many lives were
lost, has wonderfully doomed the as
bestos industry, and the few pro
ducers of that curious mineral aud
vegetable substance are finding ready
market for all they can mine. The
United States depends absolutely up
on the Quebec, Canada, deposits for
its supply of high grade asbestos, and
these mines produced in 1903 ~, 000
tons of the product, the greater part
being used by manufacturers of asbes-
tos goods in this country. The United
States boasts of a few asbestos mines,
one Ct which is in Georgia, but the
quality of the mineral mined makes it
suitable only for manufacturing pipe
coverings, Innings. etc. The chryso.
tile variety, or that with t;e long
silky thread. is mostly sought for,
and prospectors in this country should
be on the lookout for this important
substance. Mining World.
Asbestos has been found in many
sections of Josephine County but as
Yet no commercial value is placed on
the product on account of its short
fiber, Many, however, are confident
that commercial asbestos exists here.

If your taxes are not paid on or be-

the rate Of l2 per cent per annum in
addition to the penalty.
If you pay one-half Of your taxes on
or before the first Monday In April,
then the remaining half may run up

THE DAIRYING INDUSTRY
Could Be Vastly Increa sed With
Profit.

5. II. Knight, Of Detroit. Mich,
representing Francis d. Moulton 81
Co., of New York, who is spending
the week at the Portland, has made a
study of dairy and creamery condi-
tions throughout tho country, and is
enthusiastic over Oregon's possibili-
ties as butter.making state.
This is my first visit to the
coast" said he last evening, "and
I'm more than delighted with the out
look for the creamy industry here.
Do you know that, if the country
within a radius of 70 miles of Port
land was utilized as it should be for
dairy-farming, 1t would be impossible
to build and equip creamery here
large enough to handle the product?
I've never seen a section 80 admirably
adapted for tho business AS this, and
your people should turn these advan-
tages to account. The building of
great butter-making plants in other
states has accomplished wonders for
both the cities and farming COM
munities. have watched the busi-
ness grow in Minnesota, for example,
from 100000 pounds of butter an
nually, 20 years ago, to the 20, 600, 900
pounds which were produced last
year. Twenty years ago the farming
district in Minnesota was busted
community. The farmers were rails
ing crops regularly enough, but they
couldn't make any money. They
went into dairying by degrees. put in
good strains Of butter.fat producing
cattle, and as result are the most
prosperous set Of people in the United
States today They live in good
houses, drive in fine carriages and
wear diamonds. AS another example
Of what butter machines are doing
for the farmers, can cite Kansas.
where tho greatest oreameries IN the
world are located In one township
away out iu tho short grass region
Of that state IA farmers attended the
Paris Exposition in 1900. The town
ship is thinly settled too, and a few
years ago was buffalo and antelope
range
These things can be repeatd in Ore
gon, and more. Your climate aud
other natural advantages are better
than in either Of tho statos l have
mentioned, and, If youi people will
only go at the business of raising cows
for butter.making purposes, they
can beat the world.

TIMBER GETTING SCARCE
Owners of a Timber Claim Con
sidered Rich.

were paying $50 an acre to have thei
timber land cleared. Now timbe
lands that have escaped the clearer
are selling at $50 an acre. Timbe
men from the as think the state woulC
have been better off had it saved it
magnificent fir trees instead of con
signing them to the flames, as tn,
value of these woods is to be further
enhanced as time rolls on. About tn,
only available timber in the United
States now is ON the coast of Oregon
and Washington, and at present rat,
of cutting and removal, this supply
can only last for about 20 years long
er. In the meantime, as clearing
proceeds, lumber will increase il
value until stumpage will probably
reach the high figures of $40 to Sl5 pei
thousand feet now demanded in the
waning forests of Minnesota and Wis
consin.
Within the past five years, large
fortunes have been made in Oregon
timber lands as result of the rapid
advance in values. From the price al
S. an acre at which timber land went
begging in 1898, ten times that figure
is not an unusual price now. The
woods of Oregon have nearly all been
bought up by Eastern timber men,
while millions of idle capital have
been lying in Portland banks, the de.
positors not knowing what to do with
their money. A very small proper.
tion OF Oregon people even thought
1t worth while to use their rights in
taking up timber land, and now,
when they begin to realize the
chances they have missed. they find
that the Government has little Oh
nothing further to bestow ON its citi.
zens. All the timber land in the state
has found its way into the hands OF
people who know how to appreciate
its value. These people had seen the
timber lands of Wisconsin, Michigan
and Minnesotaise in value from 81. "a
an acre to $l5. 90 within a generation,
and they knew history would repeat
itself in Oregon.
A few years ago timber experts
thought the supply of pine in Arkan-
sas would last for 80 years at least.
Only recently it has been discovered
that it will be exhausted within five
years at the present rate of denudatior
of the forests. And with the exhaust
ing of the timber supply of the South
will come the high prices for Oregon
timber. In 10 years more the owner
of 800 acres OF timber land in this state
will be considered wealthy. For the
past five years the American citizen
could have obtained title to 800 acres
of timber in Oregon for mere trihe.
The Government offered to sell l6(
acres to each citizen for 800 cash, ahC
by committing a homestead 1850 acrei
more could be required at the end OF

are now past in Oregon, and the few
Oregonians who took advantage of the
Governments liberality, can now con
gratulate themselves on their fore
