John Leigh

The picture was taken by Mrs. A. J. Russell, on a recent trip with Gus through the Northwest, and shows Mr. Leigh out in the woods, with Col. George H. Kelly's Scotch Terrier, t'Porky".

John Leigh is an old timer in the lumber game and is one of the best known figures in the Pacific Northrvest' He was for many years with the C. A. Smith Lumber Company at Minneapolis, and afterlvards rvith the N{cCormick Lumber Company, McClintock, Washington, prior to becoming affiliated with the Western Lumber Company.

Gus says "he is noted for his universal and constant good humor, his knorvledge of the lumber business and from the fact that he has the oldest corn cob pipe rvest of the N[ississippi-it is a real Missouri meerschaum".

And what more would you rvant?

The pup deserves special mention. John claims and states that he is prepared to prove "Porky" to be the fastest running terrier in the country, when there is a cottontail running after him.

The Western Lumber Company is located at Westfir, on the new Natron Cut-off of the S. P., about forty miles out of Eugene.
