Hawley Sr., presi dent and general manager of the company. Mr. Hawley hinted that Instead of one ICS-Inch paper machine, the new mill will have two; and that the ca pacity of the new mill for turning out wood and sulphite pulp will be just twice the amount first planned. He did say that the compati was preparing plans of an Important nature, but that lie was not at liberty just at the pres ent time to divulge their extent. The Hawley company has been of fered extensive foreign contracts, but the mills of the company here are now running at capacity to supply domes tic orders. Plan for Building Changed. 'The present plans for our new ad dition call for an Increase of 35 tons of wood pulp In the wood pulp mill, 20 tons of sulphite in the sulphite mill and a 1000-horsepower generating plant for our new ICS-Inch paper ma chine," said W. P. Hawley Sr. "We have changed our plans for the new buildings so that at any time we may add a second additional 20 tons of sul phite to our sulphite mill and a second 1000-horsepower generating plant to take care of a second additional large paper machine which we contemplate Installing in the near future- Our first additional paper machine, which we are now Installing, we expect to have in operation before the first of the year. This Is the only part of our fu ture plans which we are at liberty to divulge at the present time."

Preparations are being made to rush the actual con struction of the mill. Mills Are Prosperous- Important announcements of local paper companies are being made al most weekly.
