FACTORY NEAR1MG COMPLETION
VILL USE AUTO TRUCKS
TO HAUL STAVES
The factory of the Western
Cooperage Company which is l.eing
built near Trenholm is rapidly Hear
ing completion. The first report
here several weeks ago that the old
mill in Houlton would be repaired
and placed in ojeration again wa
wrong and instead a new mill is
Ix-ing Installed near Trenholm.
where the company ha a large body
of timber. The management of
the concern says they have sufficient
timler t carry on the work at the
new mill for at least five yearn.
Several large auto trucks have been
bought and the staves will be hauled
from tho factory to the railroad
station at Houlton by auto.
ST. HELENS MIST
NAME OF THIS PAPER CHANGED,
AS YOU WILL NOTICE
As announced several weeks ago
this paiier has made a slight change
in its name on the title page. Here
after our official name will be the
St. Helens Mist" instead of the
"Oregon Mist" and we think th ap
IK'arance of the new head is quiti;
attractive. A well known engraver
took the idea from looking across
the river at Mt. St. Helens, from
which it is presumed this city took
jU name. With tho grand old Col
umbia Kiver in the foreground and
the U.-uutifuI snow-cap'd mountain
back, a very pretty scene is shown.
There is much meaning too in that
picture; it shows the wonderfully,
beautiful place for a city to build
on the banks of the river looking j
across upon the mountain: it shows!
the greatest highway on the Cattle j
coils t. the (.olumhia Kiver, withi
natural sites for manufacturing es
tablishments of all kinds on this
great highway. A large sea-going
vessel represents the commerce of
the world at our very iloor. end the
small sailing boat the fishing indus
try abounding here. There is also
given in this picture an idea of the
great we alth represented in the tim
ber of this community. Altogether,
the head is, in our opinion, attrac
tive and means something. The
pajier will endeavor to represent the j
city of St. Helens nnd Columbia
County, Oregon, and to give to our!
readers all the news all the time,
