SPAULDING LUMBER CO. EXPECTS TO ESTABLISH A NEW SAW MILL HERE SOON. ACCORDING TO REPORTS. The report that the Charles K. Spauldlng Lumber Company will es tablish a large mill In this city In the near future Is the occasion of much rejoicing on the part of businesajnen and private citizens. It is a settled fact that the company will establish a large lumber yard here, and It Is generally believed that the mill will aubsequently be established. Work of putting in the lumber yard Is now in progress, and It Is to be located on the lots formerly owned by I. M. But ler west of the railroad track. The residence, one of the old land marks of Independence, has been removed to make room for the new enterprise. This city has been without a lumber yard since the null was consumea of the city. Probably this Is more i, t-ttWmi unit nloneer of anoarent outside of town than at nuvnu ...... -m .. . - Oregon. Mr. Cooper will open a sa- home.
