ciates are wealthy Michigan lumbeTmen
who have been looking over the timber
Of Northern Idaho for several months
with view to engaging extensively In

The mill will be erected on the small bay

and the adjacent land for Eve blocks
east of the shore will be utilized for
yards aud buildings connected with the
mill A spur track will be run from
the line on Third street TO the east end
Of the yard. Mr.. Dollar paid $1,000
toward the purchase Of the site and the
the people contributed the balance,
amounting to something like s6O0. In
addition TO this the town is TO extend

Commissioners Examine f. Sherman Bridge.
County Commissioners Tucker, Sis
son aud Dittemore and County Survey
or White were here Monday examining
into the condition of the county bridge
which spans the nver at Fort Sherman.
1t is proposed to enlarge the opening
between piers by putting in a span Of
about 70 feet Under the present con-
ditiOns the Spokane & Idaho Lumber
Co. allows large jams Of logs to collect
against the pilings which may result in
great damage TO the bridge. Mr.. Strath-
ern. the manager of the company, claims
that logs cannot be run through the
present opening without jam resulting,
and says that the proposed improve
ments will obviate the difficulty. II is
evident that something should be done
to protect the bridge, and the people Of
this section are anxiously awaiting the
action of the commissioners in the mat
ter. Last week something near 10000
feet OF logs were lodged against the
bridge and workmen were busy Sunday
and Monday removing them.
