NEW MILL ASSURED;
WORK TO BEGIN AT ONCE

Major Hitchcock, and Captain
Welsh, has been here the past
several days closing negotia-
tons for the huge government
cut-up mill. A satisfactory con-
clusion has b en- reached and
construction work will be begun
at once. The plant will be locat-
ed on the Ball-Peterso1 tideland
Just across from town. This
tract comprises about 65 acres
and Is one of the finest mill sites
on the bay. Thee new mill will
have a capacity of 100000 feet
per day, and it is estimated, will
cost a half million dollars to
build. The city will at once lay
a new II inch water main from
Mill Creek, to supply this and
other mills that may lDcate here.
The government engineers in
vestigated our water supply, and
are very much pleased with
same. They found a flow Of a
million and a half gallons each
"a hours, which Is sufficient to
supply a town of 10000 people.
