Call From Cuba For Rev. Robert McLean.
Kev. Robert McLean, pastor ol tbe
Third Presbyterian Church of this city
ha received acaii lo take charge of tbe
Spanish work under the Presbyterian
Board in tlie Island of Cuba.
This call has been under consideration
for three months. In speaking of the
matter this morning. Rev. Mr. McLean
said : "1 did not wieb to leave the work
bere, but the fact i no one with a
knowledge of the language and experi
ence in the foreign, work could be
secured , it seemed a call of duty. Yet
I would not consent to accept the ap
pointment, nuliM they would give me
sufhckinl time to put my work here in
such a shape that it could ho passed
over to my successor without injury.
This decision I communicated to the
secretary of the board in New York, and
Tuesday of this week I received a tele
gram, stating that my terms were satis
factory. The wish of the board is that
I shall be on the field 'by the 1st of
January. The intention is lo make
Havana Hie basis of operation extend
ing the work as rapidly aa possible to
the principal points in the island."
Hev..i.cl-ean further stated that the
decision now reals with the Presbytery.
That body must decide: where duty lies.
fie will soon n quest the church to join
with him in asking the Presbytery to
disnolve the pastors! relations in order
that he may enter upon hi new field of
labor.
Itev McLean took charge of the work in
Portland a little less than two years ago.
lie is one of the mo-t earnest workers
iu the Presbyteri.n Church, and Is
recongnixed by all as a man of unusually
forceful character. Not only the mem
ber of Ins own congregation, but hun
dreds ot other to whom be has endeared
himself will be saddened to hoar of tlie
call. Telegram.
liev. U )lt. McLean, who was for 10
year paitor ol Bethany Presbyterian
church, ol tins place, is a man emi
nently titled for this place lo which he
has been railed, as he is a good Spanish
scholar aud has had previous experience
in l'ie same line of work in Chile, where
he spent a nuinW of vear until the
breaking down of his health. ' Mr.
McLean is also conversant with the
Spanish languago anl she will be s
great help in the work.

It is also used extensively in California

It does not have the same odor as the

provision, are kept than almost any
other wood. There is one peculiarity
about the sugar pine tbat is not seen in
the white pi n", and that h that sugai
pine shows an occasional brown streak,
very small, which would look lo the
man wbo is not acquainted With lumber
to be a pitch streak. It ia not, however,
but is only a portion of the grain and
contains saccharine ' matter. These
streaks will not exude under any con
ditions, and therefore are in 110 wise
objectionable.
Up to the present time the eigar pine
interests of Oregon have been centered
in Josephine county, with tiranta I'ats
as tbe center. From one million to
two million feet is about the extent of
the sugar' pine found accessible in a
given radius, thus necce-sitatiug its
manufacture with small portable mills.
Tbe sugar pine lumber of Oregon
ranks with tbe highest grade of pine
lumber in the United States and finds
a ready market in tbe east as well as on
the coast. Choice clear, No. 1 suuar
pine Is worth from $15 10 fciJ.OO per M.
at the yards, and finds a market
aa far east as Chicago and New
York. Shipments of Noa. 3 and 4 sugar
pine aie made to poiuts as far east as
Wisconsin and Iowa.
In the Swede Basin in Josephine
couuly, theie is a body of sugnr and
yellow pine which is estimated to con
tain 100,000,000 feet. Tiiecoet of haul
ing the lumber to Grains Pass, a dis
tance of nearly fifty mile, by wagon
precludes manufacture of this limber at
present. The bud ling of a proposed
railroad lo Ihe Illinois valley, where
very promising copper mines are being
developed, would reduce the wagon haul
lo lea than ten mile and allow this
limber lo be profitably minufactured
(irants Pasa, a; said before, is the
center of the sugar and yellow pine
interests of Oregon at present. The
Sugar Pine Door A Lumber Company
have their hea l olhces, yard aud box
factory here. This co icero earrle a
stock of 5,0jO,)OJ feet of fir, ugar and
yellow piuv, in addition to operating the
largest shook mill iu Oregon. Tuis
company is at present bundling the out
put of 10 mills. The lumber ia cut in
the mountain auit hauled into town,
from distances varying from two to 20
miles. Williams P,ros. A Kendall have
a well rquipptd sash auJ door factory.
Their product ia made troin sugar pine
exclusively and finds a ready maiket 111
the WilU nette valley and in California.
