VANOrVER, Wash., Juno 8 The launching of . the second pontoon of the Portland Dry Dock, under construction, hns been delayed by the high water, and until the flood recedes, or reaches auch a point that the pontoon la launched from ita moorings without formal cere mony, there will be no further activity with this section. The pontoons are five in number and are alt under way, though the last one will probably' not be launched before Beptember, according to the statement of the foreman on the work. No. 1 was launched some weeks ago, and it was the Intention to send the. other over the ways, last Saturday, but high water postponed the ceremony. The pontoons will be launched as finished, but will not be taken to the Port of Portland until they are completed. Work has begun on the remaining three, and other launchlngs 111 follow at intervals of a month or so. 1I.WACO, Wash., June 9. That II waco will have a sawmill In operation the coming winter Is almost a certainty now. Frits Johanson has been looking over the field. It was said a few weeks that Mr. Johanson contemplstod building a mill here but a great many thought It waa only talk and , nothing would come of tho matter. That Johanson means business Is now attested by himself. He said the only thing In the way was a water front, "if a suitable water frontage can be secured on Rakers Buy we will certainly build our mill here this winter" s.tld Mr. JohanHon. This sounds like business. Mr. Jo hanson stated further thnt tho more he looked over the field and slsed up the location the more he became Impressed with the desirability of the location. Just where he wishes to build Mr. Jo hanson has not yet decided. He will tnnb 1. - IaIJ 1 iwi lira uoiu mci cHrcjunjr a nu wnon , . . , . , . . he decides as to the best location the il.V.-'L1?! .'rf.6. -t?. J?!?.-' th next thing to do will be to get hold of the water front for this purpose snd there Is little doubt but this can be done with little difficulty and on terms to suit tho promoters. Messrs. Johanson and partner. Mr. 'Bllle, are now operating a sawmill on a small scale on the Chinook River. ' This waa burned down laat year and has not been built up to any great proportions. It is their Intentions to remove the ma chinery of this mill here and by adding to it to make an up-to-date sawmill In every respect. Just what the capacity will be remains to be decided later but It wilt be a mill for 1 1 waco to well be proud of. In addition to the sawmill a planing mill will be run In connection and all the lumber, both dressed and rough, can be obtained right at home for all the building of the future.
