In 1834 a succession of crop failures In the upper Wabash val ley necessitated bringing seed corn from southern Illinois. Tlie supply there was so abundant and was dealt out so generously that, referring to the Itihlc narrative o f Egyptian abun dance. that region was called Egypt, and the name prevailed for a long time.

McCormick, president o f the McCormick Lumber Compa ny, has just returned to Portland from a trip to San Francisco. He says that, owing to late win ter rains, the crops in California this year will be heavier than for years, a condition that he predicts will call for a large amount o f Oregon lumber. He says 70 million feet o f lumber from this state has already been used in the construction o f build ings at the Exposition grounds, and there will be a call for fully that much more before all the Btates and foreign powers have completed their buildings. Mr. McCormick also looks for a big demand for lumber from the mining industries o f the country. c 1 C.N.BARNITZ Their carcass Is uniform in color according to age. eggs command a n * Does a student or cadet at the West •O Joint Military academy receive p ay ?
