EMPLOY MANY HANDS
Five Saw Mills Near Falls City With
Combined Capacity of 10000 Feet
Daily Produce Large Pay Roll.

According to a careful estimate
prepared by a Falls City firm, it is
believed that the five new lumber
mills which are preparing for the
season s work will saw in the neigh
borhood of 100000 feet of timber per
day, making monthly pay roll, as
The Observer estimated last week of
from $4,000 to $4,000. 1t is es-
timated that Dennis Bros, who have
charge Of the Dutch Creek mill, will
have a capacity of $4,000 feet, the
W. T. Brown mill, two miles south
Of Falls City, has a capacity of
$4,000 feet, and the Justin Hunter
mill in the same neighborhood will
have the same. The Albert Teal mill
with capacity of $4,000 feet per
day, along with the one now under
full steam by the Falls City Lumber
company, which is able to produce
100000 feet, puts the city in a happy
mood. Two hundred employees have
1een added to the pay roll, within the
Dast month, it is estimated.

pale pink mounting paper and insert
a double page of ordinary writ
ing paper inside, tying the little book
together with red or pink ribbon and

which may be purchased by the dozen
for the purpose. Cupids may be
clipped from crepe paper napkins and
pasted on the outer side of the dance
card, or a water-color decoration may
be added.
