PANY is ORGANIZED.

Weyerhaeuser Back OF Concern That
Will Control immense Tract In
Northern Minnesota and
Canada.

one part Of the tremendous holdings OF

er, said to be because of his fabulous

The capital stock Of the new corpor-
alton is S20000,00 1t holds over
900, 900 900 feet of lumber, covering a
vast tract in northern Minnesota and
extending into Canada This Is said
to be the last great tract Of timber
Land in the forest region of Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Michigan, once thought
to be inexhaustible It is thought the
new company will take about ten
years to cut the 3,O0O,00OOOO feet Of
lumber.
To aid in this colossal task saw.
mills will be built, feet OF 20 lake
steamers built or bought, and rail-
roads constructed.
The constituent companies that
went to make up the new corporation
are the Virginia Lumber Company, the
Edward Hines Lumber Company the
Cook & O'Brien Lumber Company and
the Seine Lumber Company. Beside
these and entwined with them were
the "Weyerhaeuser interests"
The deal, the largest Of its kind ever
carried through, according to lumber
men, has been pending for over two
months. The following officers were
elected:
President-Edward Hines of Chi,
cago
vice-President--W. W. o'Brien Of
Duluth.
Treasurer-Fr Frederick e. Weyer.
haeuser of st. Paul.
Secretary-H d. Horribly of Cloquet,
MINI.
The company will not chop down

great sawmills. Two OF these will be
at Duluth, two at Virginia, Mimi, and
one at st. Francis, Canada.
