Cement and steel and brick
and stone are not yet used in
sufficient quantities to encourage
lumber users to predict the time
when the forests will not be call

materials used in building opera
tions. Notwithstanding the re
markable increase in the use of
cement and other fireproof ma
terials, the last reports of the
building operations in forty-nine
of the leading cities of the Unit
ed States for the year, collected
by the Geological Survey, show
that 51) per cent were of wooden
construction.
Even if the remaining forty
one per cent of the buildings
were built of brick, stone and
concrete, vast quantities of wood
are consumed Doth m the con

in the latter form, metal is tak

large extent. Ihe amount of
umber given above does not take
into consideration this item at

While this percentage is repre

point out that it does not include
the largest quantities of lumber
used for the construction of
small cities and towns scattered
over the country and not includ

which a reckonir.g was made.
In towns and small cities wood

The great "Inland Empire"
Excursion, under the auspices
of the Spokane Chamber of Com
merce and Walla Walla Commer
cial Club, spent Saturday in
Portland, and were received with
a heartiness and cordiality sel
dom witnessed.
There were acres of automo
biles and carriages at the station
when the party arrived at eleven
o'clock, but before that they had
been met by a committee of re
presentative citizens, led by the
governor of Oregon and the may
or of Portland, who joined the
train some forty miles out of the
city. The procession from the
depot up town was a remarkable
sight in fact, long before the
last vehicle had left the station
others were well out in the resi
dence district, as it required
twenty minutes to get the entire
party under way. During all
this time the bands played and
the people cheered. There were
some bright, short, crisp talks at
the luncheon, with more extend
ed speeches at the dinner.
This great excursion and the
entertainment at Portland shows
what can be accomplished by or
ganization. 1 wo prosperous
commercial bodies of the state of
Washington were received by the
largest organization of its kind
in this state, the Portland Com
mercial Club. All the adver
tisements in theocal papers wel
comed the guests, there were
thousands of cards in the show
windows of the store reading
"Portland welcomes her guests
from the Inland Empire, " "Spo
kane and Walla Walla do things
right," "The Inland Empire
makes Portland THE wheat port
of the Pacific," etc. It was a
happy and successful day. These
two hundred and twenty excur
sionists are now in California at
work getting people there inter
ested in the Pacific Northwest
country.
Seventy-nine1 organizations are
now included in the Oregon De
velopment League, the latest be
ing the Oak Grove Improvement
Association, and all the active
ones are working to secure new
people. The $30 rate from Win
nipeg, St Paul, Kansas City,
and all the Middle West is good
on all railroads from March 1st
to April 30th, with proportionate
rate from every station in the
United States and Canada. Ev
ery letter that goes out of Ore
gon ought to make mention of
this, and the fact that the low
fare applies to Ashland, Salem,
Baker City, Astoria, or any oth
er point in Oregon just as it does
to Portland, but people must ask
for tickets to the point desired
when they buy them.
The week beginning September
21st will see the greatest live
stock and race meeting at Port
land that has been held in this
city since the Lewis and Clark
Exposition in 1905. The gather
ing here last week, participated
in by the Oregon Prue Bred Live
stock Association and the North
Pacific Fair Association, brought
live stock men from all over the
country, closing with a banquet
at the Portland Commercial Club.
