WOODARD SAW MILL
CHANGES OWNERSHIP
One of th e largest tim ber deals
consum m ated in th is section of
< )regon for some tim e past was th a t
of last week, w hen A. L. W oodard
transferred to J . II. C ham bers of
this citv 20 , 000,000 feet of fir tim-
tim ber located five m iles south of
town, the sawm ill at I.atham with
a capacity of 40,000 per day, and
thirty-three acres of mill site land,
th e consideration being approxi­
m ately $50,000. Mr. C ham bers
will com m ence logging operations
at once, and carry on the work on
an extensive scale. T he persons
controlling the w atet right on the
Coast Fork river have entered into
an agreem ent not to interfere with
sluicing while the tim ber is being
conveyed to the m ill. Mr. W ood­
ard h as recently constructed a dam
on th e river, an d has a new log­
ging road into th e tim ber, m aking
it possible to conveniently and
economically h an d le the logs. T he
mill has been idle duriug the past
few m onths on account of con­
structing the dam and logging road,
hut will resum e w ithiu a few d a y s
aud run to its fullest capacity.
Mr. C ham bers has large tim ber
holdings iu the im m ediate neigh­
borhood of his newly acquired tim ­
ber, an d eveutually this will also
lie sawed at th is m ill.
T h e laud occupied by the milt is
valuable not only for the purpose
for w hich it is being used, but aa
a power site aud the term inus of a
prospective railroad up th e Coast
Fork river, w hich, in all probabili­
ty, will he constructed w ithin a
com paratively short time. S ueb b

ber area, an d provide a rail outlet
fat several in d u stries already es­
tablished in the Calapooya section,
am ong them being the Hlack Hutte
quicksilver m ines and the London
M ineral Springs.
Mr. W oodard still has som ething
over 30,000,000 feet of standing
titulier south of C ottage Grove, for
a portion of which a deal is now
pending, besides this holding, he
h as extensive interests iu K lam ath

C. C. Shay of Portland, who re-
I cently bought a section of tim ber-
' lan d near Divide, will soon com-
; nience the erection of a sawm ill on

1 a capacity of about forty thousand
j per day, and the principal product
