which have been the source of 50
much discomfort in the service. such
as promotion from grade to grade

Of solving the promotion situation
among Army officers it is interesting
to record that the military authorities

BIG LUMBER PLANT AT
! M'NARY STARTS UP


1t is said that the Cady Lumber
corporation at McNary intends to
start up at least part Of its large lun-
Der mill on Monday, August 2. Some
Of the workmen who are to be en-
ployed in the mill and other parts of
the plant, now in Holbrook, are plan
ming to be OH hand for work ON that
date.
The company has been practically
closed down for several months, en-
gagged in building twenty-one dry
kilns for handling the lumber An
army of worlSmen have been engaged
in the work, ard now word comes
that these have been completed They
mean the investment of a good many
thousands of dollars, and the general
hope is expressed that they will be
successful in drying Of the lumber,
which has been q decided impediment
at McNagy Tor long time. There
is so much moisture in the way Of
rain, snow, ETC., up in the White
mountains that it has been almost
impossible TO have any large quantity
of lumber in such a condition SO chat
it could be planed and sent to the
market. This has been especially
true of the winter and rainy seasons.
The opening of the great lumber
mills to production wilT beeof inesti-
mable benefit to Holbrook, Navajo
and Apache counties, as the output

made, to double that Of last year,
which aggregated over 2,600 carloads.
