Portland Port Prolific Grain Trade and Timber Wealth

Dan Thomas writes from Portland describing booming grain exports to Asia, shiploads of wheat, and lumber rafts along the Willamette and Columbia. He notes timber quality, cheap forest land, growing population, and the city’s rise as a Pacific trade hub with a Philippine mahogany building and a 284 foot flag pole. He recalls local prices, climate nicknames, and the prune belt near Portland.
