MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISES. 1t is now

MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISES. 1t is now
some weeks since we learned that Portland
capitalists were engaged in buying up the
lands bordering upon the Lacamas Lake
and its outlet, of which they have secured
some 2l00 acres, including the old Maxon
Donation Land Claim of $40 acres. the De-
laet farm, and other tracts. By these pur-
chases the party has obtained complete con-
troll of Lacamas Lake, which lies l75 feet
above the level of the Columbia river, but
little over mile back from the steamboat
landing below the mouth of the Washougal.
| The Lacamas creek has fall of 100 feet in
distance of less than mile, and can be
humed out upon level flat of several hun
dred acres, making available one of the finest
water powers in Washington Territory, with
plenty of land on which to build factories,
and for the residences of those who must
operate them. We have learned that it is
the intention of the capitalists to erect there
a paper mill. saw-mil, Touring mill, a
furniture factory, and perhaps other factor
les, all represented in a capital of $3.50, 900
to be expended there. The machinery for
the paper mill is already on the docks in
Portland, and next week men will commence
the work of clearing off the lands for opera
tions. 1t is expected the paper mill will be
completed in time to use some of this years
crop of straw from Mill Plain and vicinity.
The enterprises mentioned, pushed to COM
pletion, will cause the building up of quite a
little town at or near the mouth of Lacamas
creek. The lake is in a beautiful location
for a summer resort aud fine hotel, and the
canyon of the creek adds other attractions
for sight seers and pleasure seekers. For
ease of access to Portland and Vancouver
people there is no other place equal to it.
These enterprises are the most important in
possible future benefits for Clarke county of
any that have been put under way, and as
there is plenty of money and energy behind
them We expect to see them pushed at once
| to successful operation.
