The Lynden tribune. [volume] (Lynden, Wash.) 1908-current, 1921-02-10

This statement by the president of
one of the most influential of the In
land Empire banks is just as true for
this side of the state as it is for the
irrigation section. We still have our
farms, our timber and other resources
and all that is necessary is to 60
ahead and forget that we may have
had cold feet.
At the end of this article are a few
clippings taken at random from news
papers during the week showing the
starting up of industries in eastern
sections. This does not take into &C.
count the starting up Of the mills and
logging in this part Of the country,
at Everett, Morton, Aberdeen and
dozens of other places, or the immense
foreign order received at the Port
Blakeley mills which is keeping that
plant running twenty-four hours a day.
The lumber situation is clearing in
many ways. Railroad managers, while
they contend that the roads need the
increased freight rates to pay their op-

lumbermen will be able to ship lum-
Der into the middle west in competi-
ton with the southern pine growers.
Lower prices of commodities and con-
sequent lower wages for mechanics
are making building cheaper so that
it is reasonable to expect that some Of
the construction which has been de-
layed by high costs will be begun this
spring. ii. ...-
Another straw pointing to business
in this section is the opening of the
numerous plants of the Carnation
Milk company. A firm Of that size,
sensitive to the market Of not only
this part of the country, but the whole
world, has been quick to realize the
call for it's goods.
PITTSBURGH, Pa: Many indie
pendent steel manufacturing concerns
in the Pittsburgh district today in

weeks in which operations have been

days operation would be about 40 per

about resumption was for the export
trade, one order being for 100000
