This is because the full, rich, real tobacco taste lasts so long, you don't need a fresh chew nearly as often.

The reported sale of the property, mill and railroad was verified by the representatives of the Spruce Production division Friday, and also by the firm of Hill & Scritsmier, local timber dealers. The purchasers are eastern capital ists, it was announced, whose iden tity will not be given out for some time and Hill and Scritsmeir also are heavily interested in the pur chase. The sale has been in progress for mo timn ruist. but the details had not been carried out sufficiently un til yesterday to allow announcement to be made, it was said at the oil ice of the Spruce Production division. The tract of land included in the purchase is what is known as the Blodgett tract and comprises 12,705 acres of land, with a total stand, ac cording to cruise, of 780,102,000 feet. The tract is in Lincoln coun ty near Yaquina Bay and would have been one of the largest of the spruce production units if it had been car ried to completion. In addition to the land and timber there is the Toledo mill, built by the government and nearly ready for operation. This mill, which will have a capacity for 250,000 feet" a day, was almost completed when the armistice was signed and less than another month would have seen it in operation if the war had continu ed. The Alsea-Southern railroad, al so included in the purchase, connects the timber tract with the Yaquina- Northern and the Southern Pacific railroads. It is 23.4 miles, in length with another two and a half miles of spurs and considerable grade. The railroad is of standard con struction and thoroughly equipped throughout its length.' It follows the coast about half the distance and passes through the town . of Waldport at the mouth of Alsea bay. A large body of valuable spruce timber is included in the tract, as well as other timber, the govern ment cruise being as follows: ... n 1 1 r.nn foi'ti Spruce, 3Jo,-.,- m 765,000 feet; hemlock, 200,407,000 feet; cedar, 15,116,000 feet.

He denied that the Kuhn syndicate of Pittsburg, 1 a, had any connection with the tran saction, as had been rumored. As soon as the mill has been completed , and all steps necessary for the de-, velopment of the tract earned out,; r.nd operating company with suffi-1 ciont capital to handle such a large undertaking will be formed and in. j corporate. The sale of the project leaves but two of the big government spruce developments in the northwest to be disposed of by the Spruce Produc tion corporation, one in this state in Lincoln eountv embracing a large tract of timber and the Yaquina rail road ten miles in length, and the other in the peninsula district of Washington including .10 miles of railroad and a large body of timber and mills in the vicinity of Port An geles. It was this latter property which was the subject fur so much investi gation at the time the congressional committee was delving into the op erations of the corporation.

Reattie, who is to be rural supervisor at the Normal, has re cently moved into the house which he purchased of C. E. Force and in preparing for the work of next year. He has the position Mr. Pitt man formerly held and for the first half of the year his duties will take him to different parts of the state. Idr. Beattie comes here from Cot tage Grove but previous to that was for seven years connected with ed ucational work in Alaska. For sev eral years he was superintendent of the schools of Southeastern Alaska. This is the strip, perhaps a hundred miles long, that stretches down in front of British Columbia and to a large extent consists of islands. Travel there is for the most part in small boats and perils are frequent. The natives of Alaska are perhaps the only aboriginals of the United States who have not at one time or another been fud by the govern ment. Of late years the govern ment has been giving them school ing and some medical attention, but this has been the total amount of aid J they have thus far required.

It must not be overlooked that this show is a county affair. It is expected that entries will be made from every sec tion of Polk county and in greater number than heretofore. "The corn show draws more inter- in the Mississippi valley, than any other agricultural event. There arc thousands of men in the north con- tral states who have made good on the land, they have a competence, and are along in years and long to get away irom the cold peculiar to that rexrion.
