CEASES OPERATIONS
On account of the demoralization
of the lumber market, the Meacham
sawmill has discontinued operations
and will remain closed down indefi
nitely. Manager Xibley gave the or
der to cease cutting on Wednesday
and that night the entire crew was
laid off, many of the men taking the
night train for other points.
The closing of the Meacham mill
has been contemplated for some time
and is in keeping with the policy of
many of the big milling companies
throughout the northwest owing to
jthe condition of the lumber market.
Manager Xibley declares that never
' in the past twenty years has he ever
seen the market more "shot to pieces"
than it is at present and he attrib
I utes the tariff agitation as the one
(and only cause. "Politicians back In
Washington are responsible for the
condition of the lumber market," he
said, "and until they cease their agi
tations conditions will remain unset
tled." SHIP
