MILLS WILL Be ESTABLISHED
so SAYS Mr.. WEYERnAEUSER
Makes Authorative Statement while in City. i
would be Necessary to Dam Clearwater
River and Construct Power Plant

Frederick Weyerhaeuser. sr., head Of
the greatest lumber syndicate in the
United States. whP was in the city
last week, in company with his two
sons. has made the direct announce
ment that his company will build saw
mills and make other improvements in
Lewiston and vicinity just as soon as
they possibly can. Mr.. Weyerhaeuser
was seen by the News reporter at the
Bollinger Saturday night and had a
few minutes conversation with him.
When asked for direct information
relative to the plans Of the company
in the Lewiston county. he said: "Yes.
we will build mills here just as soon
as we possibly can but the date of
the beginning OF the operations we are
not yet ready to say. We have great
faith in Lewiston and owing to our
heavy holdings In the Clearwater tim
ber belt we will be compelled to erect
large sawmills here soon. Before be-
ginning operations however. It win be
necessary to secure some legislation
or permits to construct dam across
the Clearwater river for the purpose
Of making a back water to hold our
logs as well as the logs of others. We
have been investigating the feasibility
of this plan and we are satisfied that
1t Is practicable. In putting In dam
OF this nature It will require the ex-
penditure Of perhaps 100000 or more
and we should not wish to spend this
sum without first having everything
satisfactory to us as well as the peo-
pie. In addition to the dam our mills

Nezperec, May IL. A. Johnson ha $
purchased No. 3 double Russell saw
mill and the same will be shipped i'm
mediately to Greer from Portland and
will be erected at point near the
Lolo water power dam. The news was
given out by Mr.. Johnson last night
and is the elimination of deal that
began several months ago when Mr..
Johnson and associates secured an op-
ton on a large body of timber lands
near the Lolo. 1t is understood that
the deal was closed for the purchase
of these lands last Saturday and Mr..
Johnson placed the order for his mill
then. The mill will have capacity Of
from 10000 to $4,000 feet OF lumber
per day and power to run the plant
| will be furnished by the Lolo power
plant.
The rains here for the past few days
hase been of immense benefit to the
crops and the farmers are happy over
the outlook for bountiful harvest this
fall There is now nothing that can
injure the prospects unles II
