MillH, of San Francisco, Calif, Jand ftf;oiil of the Centra) PiioiAd,; Raifwa Coin pnnyi ' con tributes to tiio Ti nberman, under ditto of October 18, tbe following opinion n.'Kiinlmn tlio future value of timber lutlds on tho Pacific coapt. Mr. Mills has just recently returned from Pnri", wliprn bin romonnv ifinclu a mufti cumpreiieiieivo exlnbit of tbe timber interests of Oregon and California. Mr. Mills says: "We have raised the price of onr timber lands and have tnado seversl large sales during the pant week. In tbe presence of a first-class market, which is carrying off the limber at an astonishing rate, there is very little encouragement to. ad vertise. Iii fact my own opinion is, and thatppinion is based upon ex tensive observation of the condition of tho foreBts of the United States and Europe, tbat a great market is rising for the timber lands of Cali fornia and Oregon, ; ' "We ... succeeded in advertising them most effectively by tbe ex hibit we made in fans, and some very extensive operations will be transferred from Southern Russia to the Pacific coast. I also had tbe pleasurs of meeting one of the most extensive manufacturer of lumber in Italy and called his a I ten I ion effectively to the forests ol this Country. , "- ; ' "When this, market risesi it :f going to be very . sudden, and I think it is very rapidly approach ing. There will be a demand for the limber lands of California, Ore gon and Washington, such as tve havo not before encountered. There are economic roasons for this. They are not merely speculative. They aro based upon the actuul fuels ni- they exist. J. he world a supplv of timber is very nearly exheusted, a? is tho supply of all things which the world hns depended , upon na ture to produce the supply. They plant timber in Germany, but thif is no remedy for the present relation of supply and doinund. Timber grows very slowly in any country anoV tbe, forests of Germany do- uol bgin to supply their own country. All the nations are importers. Jang land imported from the United StateB in 1899 $22,000,000 of timber, bewn and sawed. This year the amount will rise to $30,000,000 and will go on increasing, t ranee will bo an importer of lumber fioin America. Already one of the largest concerns in fans has visiten an Francisco a9 the: result of the ex hinit we made, und has sent n cargo of redwood lumber to France." Saya the Meat Was "Doctored." Prom the Rural Korlbweal. A few weeks ago a merchant in Washington Countv, Ore., bought a lot of "miticed bam", from thi Hammond Packing Company. Im mediately after he commenced to sell it bis customors began to com plain that it made them siok. One man was made very sick by the stuff. The merchant at once noti fied both the Hammond Packing Company and Dairy and Bood Commissioner Itailey. 'The pool ing company sent word to return the meat and upon its arrival in Portland Mr, Bailey took possession of it. He sent a package of the meat to the Oregon Agriculture College. It was there discovered tthrit the meat was heavily oharged with sulphurous noid and had evi dently been treated with sodium sulphite to! prevent it from decav: ing. . This stuit wns put up in large. skin casings and it is apparent that the embalming process took plioe at the company's factory. How muoh meat so treated the- company has sent throughout tho United States nobody knows. . Probably for a very suillaient renson thisprr tioular lot teoeived a stronger dose than usual but any meat whioh is preserved by sulphuious aoid is very injurious to health, . If Oie; gon were without a food commis sioner this case would hnye passed without notico. , As it is tbe esse against the company will be prose cuted with vigor. The punishwei.t which can be inflicted under the Inw will be wbolly inadequate. What the company will feel most will be the publicity whioh. will re- sul and which ought to deter a great, many people from 'buying anything packed by this cotnpnny, Superlsr job printing at Ms offleo.

Thomas, a prominent horse dealer, of Everett, Wash., says the.t demand for horses will exceed . the supply for years to come.. He says good, heavy , horses are already.,, scarce and dear; and a 1600-pound " animal broken to harness now com- 1 mands above $200.: Fiveiyears ago the same .class : animal could be -. purchased for $60 anywhere,.-. Mr, s Thomas thinks prices aro going" to keep up because the development'" of the country is rapid in- propor ' tion to the supply oi. horses,i and the development is bound to ' keep ; on for several years -more. "Good' horses", he says, . "are scarce now, -because breeders got discouraged five or six years ago and quit pre-. ? paring for the future. Within the . past few years horso breeders have L taken courage again and have ir sumed tho task of improving their stock, but tho demand is going to '-. keep ahead of the supply, as it . takes several years to raise colts to the point of usefulness."
