" ' ' ;V 8eVrat Junall "saw and pianiag .mills .have resumed" a'urtng' the year., many baring been; closed for .inree years. The Lulay mill 10 miles southeast of this clt re-, i. eently has- been operating on" an t extensive scale, both; at the tim b'er "site and at the company plan er at the. Southern Pacific station at West Scio. The Lulay com pany, was the largest lumbering plant operating in this section and one, of the last to suspend after the economic : depression struck. Trucking ot logs and the' finished products of the ,'mJUs has given employment .to several' men who otherwise might have found it ne cessary to apply; ior relief," Several Mills Working . The J.- M. 'Holec sawmill a n d planer: hare been operating in the aottU houtsklrtar of Scio for seT eral months," a portion of the time employing two ahifta.- Many- cars of ties,' dimension material a n d surfaced products hare been 'ship ped; from . Scio, .siring: remunera tive employment to 15 to 20 men. ; Several smaller mills, hare eith er resumed or started anew, and the timber lands- of the western Cascade foothUlsin Linn county hare. contributed materially to the general revival, of the lumbering ; industry f the Pacific northwest, , which industry is said to hare for more than half a century pro educed approximately 60 per cent of the new wealth coming to this section of the country. Other, small mills are in the embryonic state and are expected' to open np op erations early in the new season. . Hundreds of cords of fuel and . pulp timber hare been moved from the Scio region to .Salem, Lebanon and other nearby markets. One of the finest stands of white fir and hemlock in the state still re mains for the paper manufacturer. Fuel for state institutions and other markets on the Willamette rirer hare mored forward by car loads. Dirersified farming, for which the Scio section claims special ad vantages, still holds out the best inducements for the operator of the soil upon return of normal conditions. Dairying and fruit growing are nowhere excelled in the valley, and while the former '. has been very hard hit in recent years, the possibilities in that line still are enormous. Berrying ex perienced a special impetus last season, and growers are looking forward to much better returns in the near future. Recovery Is Dirersified Recorery under the CCC, the PWA, the CWA and other federal relief activities has been marked in certain lines of natural re sources in this locality, and f urth er developments are confidently expected within the next year. City improvements recently hare been taken up and will be prose cuted until early spring, accord ing to present plans under the recent allocation of federal funds for the purpose. The Scio school ; building and grounds also are receiving valuable attention along the same line. New Santiam Bridge One of the stellar accomplish ments in the Scio trade territory -within recent months Is the com pletion of a new steel bridge over the South Santiam river near this city which will accommodate thou sands of patrons of the highways and the adjacent cities and towns.
