An interesting feature is the fact coming that it covers ‘ some timber tracts. Speakiug of the timber situation, this person who is well posted, says: “ When timber is held in large bodies by speculators, little devel opment can lie expected in the near future, Init the tendency of smaller capital to interest itself for the pur pose of locating various enterprises, will do a lot toward settling up the woods in the immediate future. I look for small saw mills aud manu facturing enterprises, such as are now coming to be scattered through out the various portions of Linn county, to become more in number aud tho products will be exported to all points much to the advantage o f this section. Timber lauds are hound to increase iu value iu the vicinity of ihpso factories and settlers who have not yet disposed of their holdings are likely to obtain better prices for them than if the large holder was the only buyer.” Timber men are of the opinion that the high prices of stumpage East will also have a tendency to advance the prices ot lumber here, nlthongh »t preseut the shortage of cars works to the disadvantage of the Northwest. ‘ ■But Harrimau is building cars at a great rate all the time.” says one operator, “ and it will not be long before the shortage is reme died, It takes time to build all the cars needed in the Northwest, as our developments have been un usually rapid and the great railroad companies evidently did not realize how the tributary country has been growing. We will ship train loads of lumber East as soon as cars can be procured, ns they have no lum ber back there any more. Prices cannot help advancing beyond wliat they nr£ now. The saw mill men have no cause to complain at the de mand now, but they will be getting still more for their lumber before long.” NO.
