Here's what the Aroostook Times
has to say on the potato outlook: "Ac-
cordirg to Bangor e. Aroostook rail-

crop of the present season is expected
to equal. if not exceed. the one of last
year. In some sections of the potato
country the farmers are going to get a
bumper crop if reports to that effect
NAV be believed. but on the whole the
crop will probably zoe about an average
one. 1t has been estimated that the
potato average was increased from
one to five per cent. over last year. but
after the seeds had been planted there
was long period of rainy weather and
when the young shoots commenced to
show up above the ground there was a

Flowers for all occasions is the motto Of

vast quantities Of roses, carnations, violets,

braskans are becoming great lovers Of

WHOLESALE LUMBER CENTER
Omaha Ranks Fourth as Distributing
Point for Lumber to Vest
ern Points.

with approximately 100000 invested in
the lumber business and with an annual
distribution OF between 100000 and 100000
worth Of lumber Omaha holds leading
place among the lumber distributing cities
of the world It is generally conceded that
this city has the greatest lumber distrtbut-
ing railroad yards in the country.
The local industry gives 1t attention ex-
clusvely to the distribution of lumber,
Into this city is shipped the finished prod
uct of the forests in Texas, Louisiana,
Arkansas, Mississippi Wisconsin, Michigan
and the northern coast states.
There are five large wholesale lumber
concerns In Omaha carrying on the dis
tributing work A score of retail concerns
supply the local needs, and the whole ter
ritory OF the country Is supplied by the
Omaha concerns in general. The estab-
lishments maintain elaborate offices in the
business section Of the city and large
lumber yards at the switching points. Each
! railroad has found It profitable to estab-
lish special shipping yards Of leAge area
for the lumber shipping business. Prob
ably nowhere in the world is the system
OF assembling different sorts Of lumber in
| special cars and distributing the supply
from a central part carried on to such an
extent as in Omaha Wood Of every sort,
including yellow pine fir, western pine,
cedar and redwood is to be had from the
yards Of Omaha
| The particular advantage offered by the
city's Industry is that Of supplying retail
dealers who cannot afford to lay in a large
| supply Of lumber for future needs them
| selves.
Lumber may be obtained from the mills
/ direct but the small dealers find 1t con-
siderably more convenient to buy In small
| quantities as their needs arise from the
wholesalers.
| Omaha is the only city on the Missouri
river that through its wholesale lumber
concerns, maintains an unlimited supply OF
lumber for all demands. The smaller towns
cannot hazard the expense Of unloading
a wholesale stock OF the commodity on
their ground and reload 1t to suit the de-
mand that reaches them.
In this respect Omaha transcends ever
st. Joseph, and Kansas City, which me
tropolises make more Of a pretense at lum
Der greatness than this city does
Omaha, from all sources of Information
ranks easily fourth in respect to the lum
