Mrs. d. w. Harrell, Washington

: Sometime during the above period
: Mr.. Walker associated himself will
5 S. K. Goldtrap and purchased Mr.
Bayse's interest in the sawmill, but
the mill was known as the Bayse &
Walker mill until Jonathan Smith and
Nathaniel Martin bought it about
1878 and conducted it under the firm
name. of Smith & Martin. After dis
posing of the mill to Smith & Mar
tin, Mr.. Walker moved portion of
the machinery to Dry Buck, where he
had built sawmill.
Up to this time the mill ditch was
not large enough to drive the logs
direct into the pond from the river,
but they were "snaked" out of the
river at the boom into the pond by
OK teams. So Smith & Martin en-
larged the ditch and pond, thus doing
away with the necessity Of shaking"
In the year 1880, Smith G. Martin
sold the plant to James Wardwell, who
erected a new mill adjoining the old
one, putting in. double saw rigging,
adding a planer and a single mill
and later sash and door making ma
chinery.
The old Bayse g. Walker rigging
went to pieces, part of it falling into
the river on account of the river
banks washing away, and a part of
it probably being moved to Dry Buck.
The Wardwell plant was modern
one for those days and did very sue
cessful business, necessitating larger
drives each succeeding yeai. In order
to meet a demand that still exists in
this community he fitted up the top
story of the mill as dance hall and
for public gatherings.
In the spring of 1885 Mr.. Ward |
Wells mill was destroyed by fire, but !
{ was rebuilt with more improved t
and was operated by its '
,wner until his death on June 5, 1891, /
when it was sold to Shaw, Cowden e. t
Stevenson of the Caldwell Lumber Co. o
# Caldwell, who sawed what logs r
we're cut and finally sold the machin- d
ny to X. p Plowman, who moved it Il
o where it now stands, just above the "
ridge that crosses the Payette river
etween Sweet and Montour. Il

s to keep the mill in continuous opera
4 ton until next December, when it viii
close down to await another supply Of
t logs. The establishment of the saw.
, mill in Emmett has special signifi-
canoe as it means the starting OF
, Emmett's first manufacturing indus
try and gives the town its first perma-
nent pay roll. Lumber from the Nc
Nish mill will be shipped to all parts
of the state and few more industries
like this in Emmett will create ship
ping point unequalled in the state"
The first log drive for the mill ar
rived July 7, 1904. The Index of
April 81 says:
"Lumbermen are beginning to pre-
pare for the big log drive which
comes off in June. A dozen men left
Monday for Smiths Ferry to look af-
ter John McNish's interests and put
everything in shape preparatory to
the time when the river is high enough
to float the enormous timbers. 1t is
estimated that at least fifty or sixty
men from Emmett will be employed
in the drive. Lumbermen who have |
worked on the river for years, say
the log drive this spring will be the
biggest, with one exception, in the
history of the river. The exception
is IL years ago when Ed Allen and f.
E. Stanley brought 10 million feet of
lumber down the river, establishing
record which is not liable to be sur
passed for years. This spring at least
5 million feet of lumber will ride the
waters of the Payette."
During the II years of it's existence
The McNish mill has cut approximate
" so million feet of logs, has dis
oursed vast sum for labor and sup
)lies, and has been an important fac
or in the development of the Payette
ALLEY because of the liberal policy of
is owner toward the new settler in
own and country. AS an employer
# labor, Mr.. McNish has an enviable
ecord of never having had strike
Turing the II years he has operated
he mill and he retires with the good
ill of all his former employees.
Last fall the plant was leased to
ne Michigan-Ida Lumber company.
he mill was nearly rebuilt and con-
derable new machinery was added,
a band saw and number
labor-saving devices, and its ca
acity was largely increased. The
ase would have expired the first of
ext year.

state. The timber lands on the Pay
cite are dense and will afford an in
exhaustible supply for the mill that is
to be erected in Emmett. The COM
pany has purchased the Fuller island,
and this will be used in connection
with the mill which is to be built on
land farther down the river. The ISL
and will be used as a storage for logs.
1t is estimated that no less than so
or so million feet of lumber can be
housed on the island at one time. 1t
is said by those who are close to the
firm that the mill will be big one,
possibly the largest in the state.
There will be a payroll of 400 men. 1t
will be the largest of any of the local
institutions in this respect. No effort
at erecting the mill will be made I'M
til the river bed is in proper shape.
1t is expected this will require all sum
mer and that work on the mill will
begin in the fall. This will put it in
shape to begin operations a year
from this spring"
A few months later, under the cap
ton, "Sawmill Surely Secured" The
Index said:
at has practically been decided by
the Payette Lumber and Manufactur-
ing company to build sawmill at
Emmett. This plant will probably be
ready for operation by next spring.
A meeting of the officials of the com
pany was held in Boise last Friday
and decision was reached regarding
the location of the mill This is the
sawmill mentioned by The Index some
months ago. The plant will employ
800 or 400 men. Sometime ago the
company purchased more than a bill I
lion feet of standing timber along the
Payette river"
Since then, at intervals of a year
or two there have been furries, caus- n
ed by the visit here of prominent of o
ficials of the company. At the time
the above articles were printed it was .
expected that the mill would be built
in the vicinity Of what is now Plaza,
near Black canyon. The company e
then owned, and does yet, large body u
Of land at that point. There the mills D
were to be located and town, owned d.
by the company, was to be built. 1t
was expected at that time that the
government would build a dam at
Black canyon for the diversion of wa OF
,er for the Bose-P ayette irrigation co
project, thus creating mammoth 10
storage pond as well as power plant. IN
But, as is well known, the govern 10
nent's plans did not come to fruition, co
lecessitating change in the lumber oy
plans. WI
