THE BIO WOODS.
Messrs. D..C. Minto, James Alii--son,'Lon
Southwick, George and'
Fred Waters, Misses M. Southwick,.
Edith Halley, J. Brown, and Mrs.
S. C. Dyer, all of Salem, were
among the arrivals last Saturday
evening. Each member of the party
has secured a quarter section over
in the big woods a few miles north
of here, and they went in Sunday,
under the guidance of Ade Crosno,
assisted by Harry Fant and his
saddle horses and Fred Stanton
with his hack, the latter being left
at the Carlson place. They re
turned Monday in the same man
ner. The ladies stood the trip like
old mountaineers, but the men were
pretty tired when they got back to
the Vincent House, and the mother-
y attentions of Mrs. Vincent were
greatly appreciated. Among the
many who have secured claims in
that part of the county recently are
twenty-six Salemites. Cabins have
been built upon these claims and a
good trail made to the locality from
C. M. Carlsou's place on Depoe
slough. This land has been entered
and the improvements made
through the efforts of Attorney B.
F. Jones of Toledo. The benefit to
Lincoln county is apparent at a :
glance. All this land will be a'
source of considerable revenue as '
soon as placed on the tax rolls, and ' ,
the immense lumber business can
lardly be estimated. An acre has
been found to contain about seventy-
five trees, which will make at least
5000 feet of lumber each. A con
servative estimate places the lum
ber of that entire vast timber belt 1
at 40,000 feet per acre, but by some
experts this estimate is regarded as
too low. These remarks refer more
directly to the unsurveyed portion
of the timber belt. The facts are
that the fine timber lands of Lincoln
county are going rapidly, and the-
person who fails to secure a slice
during the next mouth or six weeks
will be shut out. This timber belt
alone is bound to make Lincoln
county one of the most important
points on the Pacific coast. Within
a few years numerous large saw- .
mills will be in operation in the
county and numerous vessels will
be running out of Yaquina bay for
foreign and domestic ports laden
with the lumber contained in these
magnificent trees. This is no pipe
dream. It is apparent to any one
but a confirmed pessimist. And
that brings us back to the Yaquina
harbor proposition but that's an
other subject.
A (iooi) Coihih Medicine.
1 1 speaks well for Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy when druggists use it in their
own families in preference to any other..
"I have sold Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy for the past five years with com
plete satisfaction to myself and custom
ers," anys Druggist J. Goldsmith, Van
Ettcn, N. Y. "I have always used it in
my own family both for ordinary coughs
and colds and for the cough following In
grippe, and find it very efficacious." For
