GOVERNMENT TO ESTAB-
llSH CUT-UP MILL

The Government had a committee
of five. Of whom Supt. Patterson Of
this city was one, here last Friday
and Saturday viewing out location
for big Government bandsaw mill.
The committee looked over several
sites near this city and also looked
over a site at Yaquina, but as yet
have made no definite selection.
Toledo is making every effort to
land this big mill. A site has been
offered for same, and the city has
guaranteed free water. This latter is
a big item as during the dry summer
months it is hard to get sufficient
fresh water for a plant OF this size.
We understand that this mill is to
be operated by the Warren Spruce Co.,
and will cut the spruce logs from the
Waldport and Siletz tracts into cants
for shipment to Portland.

surely more than any star of the stage
could ever hope to enjoy. The plays
