Egypt?
The term originally Imput'd praise
and gratitude. 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.

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
