It is now assured that the long silent
wheels of the big Port Ludlow sawmill
will again begin to move on the 18th,
and the little mill town come to life
once more, after suspension of bust
ness for seven years. The Puget
Mill company. which owns the plant,
has overhauled it and added lot of
the latest machinery, which was tested
this week. About $50 men will be en-
ployed and fifty families have already
moved to Ludlow in readiness for the
opening of the mill. This will open a
new market for the sale of logs by the
independent oggers, and will undoubt-
eddy prove of much interest to Shelton
in adding another buyer of considera-
BILE size. 1t is reported that the mill
has orders for several months VIC rk al
ready booked.
