This company is: comprised of a number of wealthy Nebraskans who have started operations on a large scale In the Kalama Valley. The buying by no means has been completed and the com pany Is even now planning the erection of a larger mill to handle the Immense amount of timber which it now con trols or expects soon to control. - Already the company has spent a half million. According to K. C.

Miller, a banker of Stanton. Neb., and T. L. Roberts, assist ant manager of the Standard Bridge Company, of Omaha. The company was organized as the result of a trip taken by several of the number last April, when the Northwest and Old Mexico were visited. Mr. Apple by then went to Old Mexico and after looking into several large land propo sitions there, came to Oregon last June. From June to October he visited tim ber lands in Oregon, Washington, Northern California and along the coast and Cascade ranges. In September the purchase of the Willard Case sawmill was taken up by President Drake and Mr. Appleby and the mill was pur chased from Mr. Case last October for approximately $150,000. Mill Xew Structure. The mill is practically new and was not yet completed at the time of the purchase. It has a capacity of 100,000 feet In a 10-hour run. About 18 acres of the .mill site were included in the sale as well as the small timber rights of Mr. Case. About that time the com pany was reorganized and Mr. Case was taken Into the-firm and made manager of the manufacturing and construction department. At the same time Attor ney E: C. Strode, of Lincoln, Neb., who had all through "been the legal advisor, was taken into the company. Mr. Appleby then took charge of the purchase of timber lands and first "se cured 3t0' acres in connection with the mill site which gives a fine opportunity for expansion. This 360 acres Is located directly on the Columbia River and is regarded as especially valuable In that it affords 6000 feet of river frontage. At the same time in varying sized blocks, the company purchased 3400 acres of heavily timbered land, all ad jacent and located In the Kalama Valley In Cowlitz County. The company is now planning on considerable railroad building for log ging purposes and has surveyed and secured six miles of right of way for this line, which leads back Into the heart of the timber. The steel and loco motives have already been purchased and are now being delivered. Logging operations have already been started with six donkey engines at work and the mill sawing at full capacity.
