PORT TOWNSEND, Dec. N.--The Bank
OF British Columbia, 1t Ii said, Is taking
steps that will ultimately result In the re-
opening OF the big sawmill plant OF the
Post Discovery Company. situated at the
town of that name, across Quimper PENN
sula from here. The plant has been In
operative for nearly ten years, and was
closed down at the time lumber freights
and orders had become to be almost an
unknown quantity. Now, however, with
rates and freights both high, the bank
people, who hold a mortgage on the prop
erty, see way Of getting their money out
of the proposition, and. with that in view,
are looking into the prelfminaries to re-
pairing the plant so 1t can be sold to adj
vantage.
The machinery is in first-class con-
dition, but the wharves, ETC., are sadly In
need of attention. The prospect of the
government early resembling Cleveland's
Objectionable forest reserve order will
throw open many thousand acres OF suit
able timber land, and cruisers In the i'm
mediate vicinity of Port Discovery are now
engaged In inspecting 1t, presumably for
the British bank interests. The recon-
mencement of operations at Discovery wfls
result in much benefit to the business in
terests Of Port Townsend, this being the
nearest business center to the plant.
