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.
