SANITARY CONTEST.
FOR SAWMILL WORKERS.
J. I). QUILLEN, Editor and Manager
There can be no question in
the mind any close observer o f
events that, there is a good time
coming for all the Pacific Coast
country.
With the amount o f
advertising this section is getting
through the coming exposition,
the opening o f the Panama ca
nal, and in many other ways,
it is becoming better known to
Easterners than ever before, and
thousands o f people in all parts
o f the East and Middle West are
making plans to see the Coast
states within the next eighteen
months. This means that hund
reds o f new homes will be estab
lished, thousands o f acres clear
ed, new farms opened up, and
our facilities for production will
be doubled in a very short time.
More than that, there is going to
come a tremendous influx o f for
eign immigration, which it will
tax the ingenuity o f the people to
handle to advantage; but which,
i f properly handled, will make
for the development and enrich
ment o f our state and entire Pa
cific Coast country.
What is
most needed now is for the peo
ple to wake up to the fact that
these things are going to hap
pen, and get ready to reap the
greatest possible profit from
their coming.
