K. p. PlOWman VIII Com
pete with Oregon in
Lumber.

The Statesman says <. P. Plow-
man IS in the city from the Pay
cite. Mr. Plowman is now in the
numbering business and has one Of
the finest saw mills in the state ia
operation ON the Payette river three
quarters Of a mile from Marsh.
The mill has capacity OF 2o-0O0
feet Of lumber day. The demand
has not as yet put the plant 10 it,
full test. but Mr.. P.owman expects
it will shortly for he is making ar
rangemeuts to 90 into the field as
an active competitor Of the Oregon
business.
In conversation with a repo,er
yer-evday Mr.. Piowman said he eX-
pected to put on to the market a
produce that viii in every respect
come up to that OF the Wehfoot
state, and he believed he would be
able to give better prices. Lumber
is now selling here for a round SIS
thousand. Mr.. Plowman is sell
ing it at the mill for $40 a thous-
and. His plan is to float it down
the Payette and load it on the cars
there. He has not secured a rate
as vet but he expects 10 and then
he will be able 10 lay lumber down
in Boise and other southern Idaho
points at a rate that will make hin
an active competitor of the Oregon
lumber men.
