This document, marked “Exhibit A,” advertises the purchasing of timber land in Western Oregon. The St. Paul and Pacific Timber Syndicate claims to have attracted the interest of Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, who will help lend weight to the lawsuit against the Southern Oregon Company, which it claims currently holds the land illegally. By sending the St. Paul and Pacific Timber Syndicate an application and $200, the syndicate promises that it will be able to secure a quarter section valued at at least $5000 for the applicant. A map showing the area of the land in question is also included.
