PULLMANS ARE TO
USE C0AS1 LUMBER
Order 26,000.000 Feet From Pacific!
States for New Harri

I'lio I'lillinan company for the fir-;'.
time in its history has directly pur
chased lumber in ('-nlifornia, Oregon
and Washington, nil of which is to bo
used in the const ruction of new pas
senger and freight cars tor the Hani-
man roads.
The purchase aiuouiils to 20,000,-
000 feet, lite price being $.'i00.000.
When proposals were issued by tbo
Chicago office of the Pullman com
pany for the large lumber order, rep
resentatives of the llarritnan system
asked the Pullman people to favor
Pacific coast lumbermen, conditions
being equal.
This we- done, and it developed
that the successful bidders for 00
per cent of the material owned lum
ber mills on the lines of the Southern
Pacific and the Oregon railway, two
Itarriman properties and tbe Astoria
and Columbia, a Hill road. Their of

claiming to be the richest in natural
resources of any section of the stale.
In addition, the statement is mndu
thai I ho commercial interests are
centered loo far north to be of ben
cfil to southern Oregon.
Wilh this condition of affairs pre
vailing in Oregon, and a like sitiui
lion prevalent in northern California,
the cry has gone forth to carve out
a new state, to be composed of tin:
southern section of Oregon and the
northern part of California.
And the Salem politicians nro

Cltyto Be Visited Should Be
Encouraged by Local People.
Plans are now on foot for the in
aiigiiraliim of a "seeing Medford"
auto line, which, if they do not mU
carry, should result in great good.
The plans of a recent arrivui from
Ihe east, who for the present desires
that bis identity be not disclosed,
are to purchase a huge bus automo
bile and take strangers in the city on
an auto ride to all points of interest
in the city and valley. One trip is
to be made each day.
Among places of interest in the
valley will be the various orchards,
the summit of bills ubout the city,
front which a view of the valley can
be obtained, and places of historic
interest, such as Jacksonville and
other places. A man thoroughly in
formed will be placed in charge of
each party.
Such a line would be of benefit to
the valley in every way, for it wi
result in many, who would not other
wise do so. visiting and inspectiu
