Greatest Lumber State

The forests Of the upper Mississippi
Valley, of the Great Lakes region aud
of the Southern States have furnished
lumber for generations to the treelass
pralries Of the West and the denuded
lands of the East. But the saw is
cutting deep into the last OF the tall
timber OF the North and more and
more sunlight is being let in upon the
Southland. Prices for northern white
piue and southern yellow pine have
risen IN the last few years by leaps and
bounds. The lumber dealer Of the
East has turned his eyes to a new
source OF supply. AS result, Port.
land, Oregon, in the center Of the
Great American Forest, has become the
greatest lumber city In the Union, far
outstriPplug Minneapolis; and Portland
is but at the threshold OF its great in.
dustry. Oregon is the greatest lumber
State in the Union. During the next
generation, and so far as one may
Judge, Portland is to hold It's supre
macy as the greatest sawmill city
The national hunger for lumber growi
year by year, and Portland command

Of the peopls. Mr.. Wallace is a part
Of the history Of this county and state
and has borne his part in the cause Of
good government. He has always
been ready to speak for the cause Of
democracy.
A few weeks ago eight hundred and
ninety-five democrats signed petitions
asking Hon. W. H. Wallace to become
candidate for congress. The
petitioners among other things, call
attention to Mr.. Wallsce's three year
fight with the Missouri outlaws, by
referring to his, "signal and fearless
services to the state and county while
prosecuting attorney, which have so
long and so slightly deserved public
recognition " The petitions conclude
with these words: 1--WE believe that
the democrats can unite upon you and
we are certain that you have the
, confidence of business men regardless
of party. In the event of your
becoming candidate we pledge yor
our earnest support in securing your
nomination and election,
