TILLAMOOK 1903. HEADLIGHT, AUGUST 6. WASHINGTON t facturcrs, and it is to be expected that they will to some extent accomplish this. As a matter of fact the industrial world is today arrayed against the United States and it is consequently a very serious question whether we can I hold all ol the trade we now have. What we are sure of, however,is a con stant and even growing demand tor the agricultural produclsof the west. Europe must continue to buy our breadstuff» and provisions and there is every proba bility that the demand for these will grow from year toyear. Most European counties cannot produce food-stuffs to the extent of their needs They are com pelled to import and nowhere can they buy to better advantage than in the United States. Our productive capacity is lar from being exhausted.
