Idaho timber In northern Idaho the
forests are at the head waters of the
Clearwater, Potlatch and St Mary's
rivers, and in southern Idaho along the
Boise, Payette and Weiser rivers and
their tributaries. This timber will be
brought to the mills by floating the
logs down the streams, driving" as
the lumbermen say, and by hauling on
branch railroad lines.
The lumber kings of the country
have already bought half of Idahos
timber land. Large saw mill plants
are IN operation in the northern part of
the state and several are planned for
southern Idaho. The land has been
bought for the construction of a new
mill at Boise that will saw fifty million
feet of lumber a year. Frederick Wey-
