You Save Money"
says the Good Judge
And get more genuine chew
ing satisfaction, when you use
this class of tobacco.
This is because the full, rich,
real tobacco taste lasts so
long, you don't need a fresh
chew nearly as often.
And a small chew gives more
real satisfaction than a big chew
of die ordinary kind ever did.
Any man who uses the Real
Tobacco Chew will tell you
that.

Portland Sale of the govern
ment's big spruce production plant
in Lincoln county, including the Al-sea-Southern
railroad, the big mill
at Toledo and a tract of more than
1,000 acres containing three-quarters
of a billion feet of lumber has
been consumated by the Spruce Pro
duction corporation, the sales price
being $2,400,000. 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.

Mr Hill i" the project, but said
they would be announced within a
short time. 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.

Coosts for Corn Show
County Agent Paul Carpenter in
th? August number of the Polk
County Farm Bureau News says:
"Plans are being laid for the In
dependence corn show to take place
in the early winter. 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. The vorv fmmrh.tmT. r
their firming being corn, they hesi
tate to move to anv land thnt faiia
to produce this king of crops. They
are not content with the statement
that "corn can be grown." The corn
show holds up to those men the fact
that corn 0f quality actually is
grown and is a profitable crop.
Write this on the barn door:
'Save a plate' for the corn show."
