turns to Build
OLD MEN RETURN
Will Decide Location To-day
Cody Site
has the
Preference.
G. H. Price returned from Sap
Francisco last night,
lie has
commenced operations for rebuild­
ing his shipyard lately destroyed by
fire, and as soon as the site is de­
cided upon, the buildings will be
ere ted.
The Cody site w ill be the best lo­
cation, but workmen are apt to be
bothered by the wind in the snmmer
time. The old location at Fair
Harbor is an ideal place, but has
poor water, and is far for the work­
men to travel back ami forth to work.
Should he rebuild there it will ne­
cessitate a number of small cottages
which would make additional ex­
pense. If the Gody site is taken,
here will be a chance for local capit­
alists to erect dwellings near the mill.
They will bring first class rent.
Mr. Price reports that his insurance
matters were all settled up in a
perfectly satisfactory manner, and
that he was given every possible
courtesy by the underwriters.
The Daisy and McKay' Boat will
be rebuilt at once, and until the yard
is fully equipped there will be only
two vessels under construction at a
time. The Fiefield will be built
later on.

the new Cody sawing mill at Ban-
don, was in Marshfield yesterday on
business for the company, Mr. Lo-
gan saiil the mill will be ready for
operation in about live weeks, anil
that it will cut about 10,000 feet p* r
day.
Possibly they’ have been misin
formed as to the capacity of the mill,
but to avoid further misunderstand­
ings we must say that they are only
90,000 feet out of tin* wav. The
New Gody Mill, running to capacity,
will cut 100,000 feet of lumber a day.
We h ave sticks of timber in this
country that will almost run a mill
of 10,000 capacity a half a day.
