creasing some 20 per cent per year,
whereas the manufacture of boxes
is not increasing to that extent.
While we haven't any definite
knowledge at hand, we believe that
there is at least forty million feet
less box lumber available for boxes
at the mills this year than there was
year ago. This in face of the fact
that there was quite a large increase
in the production of box lumber this
year, owing to the opening up of the
Weed road.
We shall be very much surprised
II there is any very heavy increase in
the output of lumber available that
can be reached by rail in the next
two years, as We cannot see where
there is going to be very large in
crease in the production of white
pine other than out on this railroad
There seems to be no other rail-
roads developing now that go into a
white pine territory other than this
one, and white pine makes such a
perfect box lumber that fruit ship
pers prefer it to any other material
for that purpose.
While we have not ourselves trav-
ersed the country west of Grants
Pass, the government reports are a
sure enough indication that there is
an immense forest in that locality
that is available, and we are conf
dent that the markets will absorb It
as quickly as it can possibly be de-
yeloped and manufactured.
We wish you success in the enter
prise, as 1t will mean a great deal to
us to be able to get our factory run
ming full capacity, at the earliest
possible time.
Kindly keep up advised of any new
developments in the matter.
Yours truly,
WARREN & LAUDEN.
The table of promised tonnage of
lumber as given at the outset of this
article will greatly increase within
Is or 20 months, as also will every
other commodity mentioned herein.
Therefore on behalf of the people of
Grants Pass, The Courier repeats
that the gentlemen who now con-
template taking over this road will
find a territory rich in natural re-
sources awaiting transportation; and
they will also find a genuine welcome
extended by the people at large.

best known citizens Of the county,

Of 81 years.
He haa been a lifelong citizen OF

spARTaNBURG HowLING DOWN.
The Account as Given by Local Pa
per--An Apt Anccdote.
(Spartanburg Journal.)


After spending two weeks In the
yicinity Of Spartanburg, all Of the
time in this county, Judge Ira B.
3ones, candidate for Governor, left
esterday for Greenville, where he
Will conduct similar campaign for
the next week or ten days.
The last speech in this county was
at Spartan mills on Saturday night,
and this was the only time that the
iudge was not accorded warm and
hospitable welcome. He was ad-
dressing an open-air meeting, and,
after speaking Of capital and labor
and other matters, he alluded to his
candidacy. This brought howls and
ieers from the small handful Of
}lease supporters, who made more
loise for their number than any other
aggregation could possibly have de-
yeloped.
Those who showed discourtesy to
he candidate were greatly in the mi
nority, but their concerted efforts
had the desired effect. Judge Jones
simply told a little story and sat
down. He said that once there was
/ man who offered to sell a car load
of frog legs to hotel proprietor.
The man was astounded at being Of
tered so many frogs and stated that
ne could not use so many, but or
iered several dozens a few days
afterwards the man returned with
SiX frogs to deliver, and was asked
FOR the others. He stated that those
in the pond made so much racket
that he felt sure there must have
lieen several ear loads, but upon
close scrutiny he could find but six.
Judge Jones sat down and many
dressed forward and shook hands
With him, expressing their dissatis-
action at the disorderly conduct that
lad been shown by some. Judge
Zones then surprised the disturbers
ny shaking their hands also.
Judge Jones has accomplished
much good in this county, and his
campaign in Greenville will be waged
II Il similar manner.
