Wants Pulp Wood.

The new sulphite pulp mill of the
Inland Empire Paper Co. at Mill
wood. Wash, has been completed
and is now in operation. This, to-
gether with the ground wood mill of
the company, will utilize 5000 cords
of woo1 monthly. A notice from the
company describes the process thus:
''At the mill the wood is cut into
two-foot lengths and the bark is re-
moved by special machines. Some
of the wood is pressed again grind
stones revolving at the rate of 240
revolutions per minute and ground in
to pulp. Other wood is cut into
little chips that are cooked with acid
and steam in large digesters. The
pulps produced are suitable raw mat
erials for making such grades of paper
as bond, writing, book and news
print, all of which are manufactured
at Wildwood
THE paper company is ready to
purchase wood in this territory and
is affording an opportunity for many
to find market for their spruce and
white fir. The spruce is worth S.. SO
cord and the white fir S. per cord at
Wildwood. The wood is purchased in
four or eight-foot lengths, between
six and twenty -four inches in diam
eter and must be sound and round,
with the bark left on it.
The rate on pulpwood Elk River to
Millwood is $40, leaving So 80 net
AS cord of wood is figured at 500
feet, log scale, the price offered
is $3.50, logged and loaded, for white
fir good enough for lumber. This is
not likely to attract much bus mess at
this distance.
