and all farm products to the fair,
which will stimulate more interest in

cultivation of better grain and for
age crops; likewise encourage the
housewife to display her chickens,
Garden stuffs, canned fruit, veget-
;bles and fancy work for the adorn-
ment of the home; and last but not

His interests extends over the
South and California, and for
some time he has had his atten-
tion riveted on the Pacific North
west, this being recognized as
the great source of supply of
timber after the harvesting of
the forests in the South.
The immense tract in the Cow
litz valley which the Long-Bell
interests are now planning to
develop as the entering wedge
to operations in the Pacific
Northwest, lies back of the
timber owned by the Inman-Poul-
sen Lumber company and the
Eastern q Western Lumber COM
pany, and west of the Cowlitz
river, in the Mount Solo district.
While not on the Cowlitz river
proper, it is within easy reach
of tidewater, and is in the ease
of the Inman.Poulsen and East
ern & Western companies, the
logs can be towed to Portland at
a small cost. The company, it
is understood, plans to erect a
mill of 300, 100000 feet annual
capacity, far larger than any
now in Portland. journal.

WILL MEAN BIG MILL

With the Long-Bell Lumber
company of Kansas City, Mo-,
holding an option on $4,000 acres
of timber owned by the Weyer-
haeuser Timber company in the
Cowlitz River valley, one Of the
largest transactions in standing
timber in the United States, or
perhaps in the world, is in the
course of contamination.
The stand Of timber is med
ium sized yellow fir of the fin
est kind and cruises approx
imately 1000, 100000 feet, and
it is reported that the option
calls for So per thousand feet,
or So, 900, 600 for the entire body.
The large Benson holdings
back of Clatskanie, transferred
some years ago involved the sum
of S4,000,000, and up till this
time that transaction has stood
as the largest in the history Of
logging and numbering in the
Pacific NORTHWEST.
The purchase of the Weyer-
haeuser tract, it is pointed out
by timber and lumber men. will
mean infinitely more than the
mere transfer Of title to the land,
because while the Weyerhaeuser
interests are largely holding CON
Germs, the Long-Bell interests
are engaged in the manufacture
and sale of lumber on a tremend-
Gus scale, owning a dozen or
more sawmills and nearly a hum
dred retail yards. in addition to
miles Of railroads and vast
quantities of logging and other
equipment.
