Williamson, from Seattle, who stated that he rep resented a lumber company that was thinking of establishing a large mill at this point In order to have shipping facilities for the South American trade, They reasoned, said JIr. Wlliamson that expenses could be saved by put ting a mill at Astoria or Portland and shipping lumber from here instead of loading it at Seattle, where the con cern has not a good dock, and where they experience great difficulty in load Ing cargo, especially from the hostility of rival firms.' It may be possible if the firm locates here that the main office will be moved to this city and all business transacted from this point There has been much bitterness be tween lumbermen at Seattle, Mr. Wll' liamson said, and the trade has been Injured to a great extent Several concerns are thinking of moving. Mr. Williamson stated that the advantages of Astoria over Portland for his con cern were many, and that it was high ly probable that they would locate here.
