New Railroad Into timber to

LENGTH TO BE 33 MILES
Central Coal & Coke Company's
Operations Near Vernonja ot
Importance to Oregon. '
With-in two months' time work on
the big lumber mill of the Central
Coal & Coke company in or near
Vernonia, will be started. Officials
of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle
railway have announced that the new
railroad into the 27,000-acre timber
tract of the Kansas City company's
property will be completed within GO
days.
Grading on the road is now 95 per
cc;nt complete and the work of laying
the rails will start Monday. The road
extends 33 miles from Willksboro and
12 miles beyond Vernonia.
The purchase of the big- timber
tract which is to be developed
through the new railroad was made
last year. The property passed from
the hands of the Oregon American
Lumber company to the Central Coal
& Coke company for a consideration
than ran into millions of dollars.
Railroad Is Taken.
Immediate development of the tim
ber property was held up, due to the
fact that the railroad, wnicn naa oeen
started several years ago, had been
dp.la.ved. With the chanee of owner-
shin the work of making a roadbed
was taken up, and the line passed into
the hands of the Hill interests.
The question as to the location 'of
the big mill, which is to start the de
velopment of the huge tract, seems
to have been settled and, without a
doubt it will be located near or in
the town of Vernonia.
This will mean practically the de
veloDment of a new - town. The mill
which will be constructed will be of
such nroDortions that hundreds of
laborers will be required, and they
will make their homes near the plant.
Back in the woods. 12 miles from the
mill, at the end of the railroad, will
be located the logging camps with
hundreds of employes.
Trains to Ran Soon.
Logs will be hauled from the woods
to the mill, manufactured into lumber
and this product loaded on cars for
shipment to all parts ot the country.
"Before the summer is at an end we
will be running trains to the end of
the new line," declared W. F. Turner,
president of the Spokane, Portland &
Seattle railway, yesterday. ' "The
work of road construction is being
pushed as rapidly as possible and as
soon as it is completed the Central
Coal;:& Coke company undoubtedly
will start building its mill."
Whether all .of the logs taken from
the timber will be manufactured at
vernonia is unknown. It is possible
that some of them will be liauled to
the Nehalem Boom company, which
is owned by the Kansas tj;ty inter
ests, and there be placed in the river
for mills in Portland and other points.
The development of the 27.000-acre
tract, which is considered one of the
best bodies of standing timber in the
state, will mean much to Oregon, ac
cording to lumbermen and business
men of this city.
