FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT
FOR YAQUlNA COUNTRY

President Thorsen OF the local lum.
Der company is very optimistic re.
garding the future Of the Yaquina Bay
section, and II Mr.. Thorsen carries
out plans which he has outlined at this
time, he will do much to advance the
development and prosperity of this sec.
tion.
In an interview with Mr.. Thorsen
last Friday, he stated, that he and his
old friend. Joseph Paquet, Of Portland
were here figuring on the establish.
ment OF shipyards, and that every.
thing was shaping up very favorably
towards that end.
Mr.. Thorsen stated that the cleo.
trio company had been severed from
the sawmill company, and that the
electric company would probably be
known hereafter as the Lincoln County
Light and Power Co., with Mr.. Paquet
president OF same. The plant is to be
enlarged by the addition OF three more
boilers and a 1000 horsepower steam
turbine and dynamo. or this hugh
amount of energy generated, Mr..
Thorsen said that their shipyard would
use 46O horsepower, the new bandsaw
mill would use 500 horsepower, and
the other 1850 horsepower would be
for sale to other enterprises desiring
electric power. 1t is estimated that
the present sawmill would furnish suf.
fcient fuel to operate the electric
plant.
Mr.. Thorsen expects the machinery
for the bandsaw mill to begin arriy.
ing within few days, and construc,
tion on the mill will be begun at once
The mill is to be located just back and
up the slough from the present mill
and will have capacity OF l5O, ,OOC
each ten hours.
