Washington's logged lands and future growth plans
An article from the Seven States Sun profiles Washington state's logged-off western lands as the next development frontier. It notes the state surpasses others in rough lumber, rising per capita industry output, and a 1910 population of 1,141,990. It argues future growth will shift to agriculture on 3,000,000 logged-off acres, with dairy, stock, and truck farming boosted by eastern settlement and railroad-driven investment.

He said the reform would prevent public funds from supporting private local uses and cited taxing public service assets while exempting industrial tools. He claimed Seattle could save at least 5 million dollars annually.
