A MANUFACTURING CENTER.
There Is no doubt about where the
manufacturing center of southern

sawmills are adding the hum of their
machinery to the tune of progress.
and now another. the largest in the

the city was beyond question. The

scene Of the greatest development
witnessed in Oregon in many a day.

Of the new road built by the city Of

that would have offered more in out

than this city put into the railroad
that made them possible. Other saw
mills are to be constructed along the
line Of the new railroad, and lumber

with each other for first place in the
