WORKING OUT PUIS FOR SAWMILLS
Different Companies Interested In Deschutes Timber
are Busy Shevlln Announcement Not Made
Yet Minneapolis Meeting Results In Block
ing of Scanlon-GIpson Timber Near Bend
Rogers Wants AIM Site Here
Although the compleln details nre
still lacking and dual announcementa
have yot to bo made, certain points
begin tu stand out from the general
confusion of mill and lumbering tnlk
that hna been common since tho nn
iiouneewent was made i-( the Hliev
lln purchnee or the Deschutes Timber
Co.'s holdings In this section. These,
Including the results accomplished
st the recent Minneapolis conference
are Indicative of good times coming
for llend, the exact dale of their ar
rival being dependent on the working
out of del I Is on which the different
Interests concerned are now busy.
Mo announcement of tholr plans
has lea made by the Hhevllns, who,
liecsusu of the magnitude of their In
tercets and the ahortnee of the time
lnc a large portion of thein was ac
quired, have probably more detail to
care for Uiaii any other or the com
pinle that are planning to mill on
the Deschutes, ('oonlderstloii of de
tails Is now occupy lug them, chief
among the matters to be arranged
being the extension of the railroad
south to Up tholr timber nnd the se
lection of n mill site and completion
of plans for eonatructloa.
Ttvo Klle-i Avnllnble.
For the Mill situ two locations are
available, one at Dend nnd ono furth
er up river and nearer the company's
timber. Uocsuse of thla fact or prox
imity the second location Is nald to
be receiving favorable attention In
spite of the greater snowfall mid
longer duration or snow on tho
ground than at Ilnnd. At tho Hand
site comparative freedom from the
snow conditions would be secured and
a longer drying season enjoyed. The
owners or the Homl mill sites stand
ready to donate a alto to the Hhovllns
In eaiQ thuy decide to looata here.
On tho selection or llio slto do
ponds tho nnturo or tho railroad con
struction nsuth f re in Pond which Is
nxpfOtod to Imgla this summer. If
the Dond location Is accepted a light
legging rosd would proluthly bo built.
If tho choice goes to tho south tho
railroads having tholr terminals hero
now will build to the site, presumably
following ft survey to the southwest
nlotig the river Instead of thai which
now panes near I.itva Unite.
The MlimcnitolU Conference.
Contrary to the general belief tho
mieatlou or sites was not under dis
cussion at .the recent conforonco hold
In Minneapolis. This meeting was
rolely ror the pttrporo or n rurther
blocking or timber and resulted In
tho exchange or 23.000 acres between
tho Hhovllns nnd Uio Scaalon-Glpson

timber or both companion W better
blocked for milling than ever before,
scattered tracts owned by the tlliev
Hum between Ilond and I.avn Ilutto
having been traded ror other sections
In Crook, Ieke and Harney conation,
whore the bulk or tholr timber is
loontod.
IrrABpectlve or the Bliovlln choice
or mill sites thla blocking Is of oe
peclnl Interest locally since It col
lect tlio timber or tho Hcanlon-GIn
eon eoniiiuny In tho neighborhood or
that or the llrooks-Hobertsou Co. Aa
the two companies are praetlcally
Identical In their Interests nnd plans
for milling here this exchange mny be
looked upon as (bringing Ilond a long
top nearer to a mill. The timber or
the two compsnlee Is now In one solid
tract comparatively near to town and
they nre therefore In a hotter posi
tion man ever before to ro abend
with their plans.
The Itogrr I'lnn.
Tlwit there nro still other mill
plans under consideration has also
developed recently In a visit or A.
II. Itogers to Portland, aa reported in
the newspapers or that elty. Kver
alneo Mr. Itogers was here last Do
CM&hor there liavo been rumors or
his intention to build and now the
statement la frankly made that he
wants to build a mill on the Des
chutes near Ilend.
The Itogers timber In this section
lies almost entirely along tho banks
or Tumalo Creek nnd within a row
miles or town, somo ot It being very
closo In. Mr. Itogers has repeatedly
stated that his company wan anxious
to got Us plants In oporatlon and
while lioro. as In tho other cases, no
dates can bo given. It Is understood
thnt.thts -will bo as soon as possible.
lit case a slto cannot be scourod near
Ilend, tho mill will be built on tho
Tumalo, at most only n few miles
nway.
At whichever point tho dlfforont
mills aro built, whether adjoining
town or at n greater distance, their
coming means much to Dond. None
of tho companies aro expected to nt
tempt tho building up of a now town
around tliclr milts, nor to maxo nnr
thtniMnoro than camps of tho neigh
borhoods.' Ilend Is bound to be tho
financial center or tho district nnd
tltfl.hondnuartors, mora or less ot tho
time, or all tho pcoplo connected with
tho operation or tho works. In short.
ns stated above, tho good times pro
coming nnilnjl Indications now point
to thalr ooiflTng soon.
