1 1 WILL AlEAN BIG MILL With tho Long-Boll Lumber company of Kansas City, Mo., holditiRnn option on 75,000 acres of timber owned by the Weyer hneuser Timber compnny in the Cowlitz Hiver valley, one of the largest transactions in standing timber in the United States, or perhaps in the world, is in the course of consummation. The stand of timber is med ium sized yellow fir of tho fin est kind and cruises approx imately 2,000,000,000 feet, nnd it is reported that tho option calls for $3 por thousand feet, or $0,000,000 for tho entire body. The largo Uonaon holdings back of Clatsknnie, transferred Borne years ago involved tho sum nf $U)00.0()(). and un till this time that transaction has stood ; as tho largest in the history of logging and lumbering in the Pacific Northwest. Tho purchase of the Woyor haeusor tract, it is nointcd out by timber and lumber men, will , mean infinitely moro than the mero transfer of titlototholnnd, because while tho Weyorjiaeuser interests aro largely holding con corny, tho Long-Boll interests aro engaged in the manufacture and sale of lumber on a tremend ous scale, owning a dozen or moro sawmills and nearly a hun dred retail yards,-in addition to miles of railroads and vast quantities of logging and other equipment. Kobort Alexander Iiell, pres ident of the company and guid ing Hplrlt of a largo number of nubaidiary concerns, began oper atlona in tho lumber gamo about 15 years ago and i known an one of tho most nggrt'tttiive and active lumbermen in tho country. Ilia intorcsts extends over the South and California, and for somo time he has had his atten tion riveted on the Pacific North west, this being recognized as the great source of supply of timber after the harvesting of the forests in the South. The immense tract in the Co v litz valley which the Long-Hell interests are now planning to develop as the entering wedge to operations in the Pacific Northwest, lies back of the timber owned by the Inman-Poul- sen Lumber company and the Eastern & Western Lumber com pany, and west of tho Cowlitz river, in tho Mount Solo district. While not on the Cowlitz rivor nroncr. it is within easy reach of tidewater, and is in tho case of tho Inman-PoulBon and East ern & Western companies, the logs enn be towed to Portland at a small cost. Tho company, it is understood, plans to erect n mill of a00.000.000 feet annual capacity, far larger than any now in Portland. Journal.

Our Community Meeting Wc nre glad wc used tills space for advertising the Community Meeting at our Woolen Mills last Tuesday evening. It wns without doubt the most harmonious gct-to-gcthcr meeting that ever occurred in St. Johns. If no other good came of the meeting than the opportunity of mingling together nnd shaking hands it would have been worth while. As for our reception mid treatment by the Mill Officials and all their help the writer wishes that some one from our midst would rise up and make this Mill famous for its product as Sir Walter Scott made the River Tweed District famous in such poems ns The I.ndy of the I.nst Minstrel and Lady of the Lake. That district wns n wool growing district nnd n weaving district where originated the "Tweed" materials. Sp we take off our hats to the Mill Orchestra, to the Matron who made the meeting possible, to the glrhi who served us with the good things, nnd to those who could not be there we say that you missed something. And next time iu stend of being one hundred nnd twenty-five lets pack that beautiful dining-room to overflowing. Most everyone there expressed n wish thnt he had n job at that mill.
