Red River Lumber Co. Ships "Prosperity Special"

of 171 Cars

Inaugurating freighttraffic over the Western PacificGreat Northern connecting line in their new transcontinental route from the Northwest to $re E4st, the Red River Lumber Company on November 16dispatched a "prosper- ity special" of. l7l cars of lumber and manufactured products from Westwood, California.

Twenty-one states are represented,in this shipment: California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Arizona, Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, 'Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, New Hampshire and Tennessee.

This is the largest shipment of forest products ever assembled in one movement by a single manrifacturer. The cars contained lumber and building material such as sash, doors and veneered products to meet current demands of the building trade.

This long train left Westwood immediately after the northbound special passenger trains, containing officials and guests for the celebration of the driving of the golden spike at Bieber on November 1O, had pa'ssed Westwood.

"The movement of this unusual volume of lumber products at.this time demonstrates confidence on the part of dealers," said President Willis I. Walker of the Red River Lumber Company, "and indicates that conditions have stabilized and that a considerable volume of building, hitherto postponed, will now proceed."

"The use of lumber products carries with it utilization of materials from a wide range of industries. This gives ernployment not only in construction but in the manufacture and distribution of various other collateral materials. It is hoped that the confidence which we lumbermen feel will be communicated to building investors."

A Wayside Vision

And if at the end we are really dead, And we sleep without waking, nor wake againAnd the tramp of the centuries overhead Shall leave us untouched by their joy and pain; And it never can matter to you or me

How the sun shines out and the shadows fallIs it not enough how we came to be A part of the love that encompasseth all?

Is it not a path 'twere well to have trod

To have lived one life, and looked on God?

God gave them eyes so they could see Yet any fool can hit a tree.-Judge.
