Oregon and Washington Com
ing Lumber Markets.
THERE ARE NOT CARS ENOUGH
Railroads Forced to Build More in
' Order to Take Caro of Lumber
and Wheat of Northwest.
Some little time aco In one of the
evening paper appeared an article com'
meriting upon the fltwriberlng Industries
of tihls territory, In which the writer
Mated that railroads would be of no
benefit to the lumbermen of the Taciflc
Coaat; that It was Impossible for this
coast to compete iwlrh the lumbering
states of the Kast. The writer :if the ar
tide must certainly have been under i
misapprehension. It is only this week
that large party of eastern lumbering
men arrived In Seattle and are now
making a thorough Inspection of the for
ests of Washington with a view to pur
chasing stumpage. They have stated in
interviews that the forests were rapidly
being depleted in the Kast, and that lunv
boring Interests were compelled to seek
other sources of aupply. Coupled with
this Is the -fact that one mill alone on
dray's Haflbor last month shipped 113
carloads of lmirfber to flio Eastern mar
ket. "The sarno company have sailing ves
sels iplylng between San Francisco and
other ports from the Gray's Harbof
country. There are hundreds of mills all
over the state of Oregon and Washing
ton that are doing the same business,
and the fact U notorious that at a re
cent conference of railroad ofllelals In
the East It was decided to largely In
crease the rolling stock of their several
railroads In order to meet the demand
made by the lumber manufacturers of
the Paclllc Northwest for cars In which
to transport their products this fall to
the Eastern market.
Upon the completion of the railroad
to Astoria It cannot be doubted but that
the great timber preserves of the Ne
halem and Columbia river valleys will be
opened up and their products shipped to
the far Kast. Colorado, Nebraska, und
Kansas offer a largo Held now already
partly occupied by the lumber mills- on
the Sound, and large consignments of
both lumber and shingles have even been
made to the Atlantic coast. The follow
ing from a Sound paper speaks for ltse.f.
"The Po3t-Intellli(encer of Tuesday last
says that within the next few mourns
more than 1. 000,000 feet of Washington
fir and cedar will be worked up into box
cars for the Great Noithorn Hallway,
which has Just let to the Haskell & Par
ker Oar Company, of Michigan City,
Ind an order that will run Into thous
ands of cars. The step has been taken In
anticipation of the enormous tonnago the
road expects to handle during the 'ha'
veHt. The contract provides that the
woodwork tie entirely of Washington
fir, with, the exception of the root's, which
are to be of Washington cedar. Already
orders have been placed for the lumber,
among six ini.ls, lour of them In this
city and vicinity and two on Gray s Har
bor. In alt there will be required ut
least 1W car loads."
It Is islmost safe to say that the earn
ings on lumber trulHc which will be
handled by the Astoria ral.ruud will go a
long ways towards paying operating ex
penses. The Industry Is rapidly increas
ing on the Sound and Oregon manufac
turers have only Just begun to get Into
fiie business.
The tleid la a broad one ,aad lessors
from the history of the timber forests
In the East, where anore lumber has an
nually been destroyed by lire than was
manfactured and which threatens to be
repeated In Oregon, snould be so Im
pressed upon the lumber men of Ore
. gon and Washington that no efforts
should be spured to foster tl.ls great in
dustry. The proposition that the two
state naimed could not compete with the
East In this Industry Is not tenable.
Only a cursory Investigation Into the
subject Is necessary to confirm this. Let
the lumber men take heart, and know
that a market for their product will never
be lacking,

far distant when mothers will consider the

instead of the various quack nostrums which
are destroying their loved ones, by forcing
