Not only In Dond, but gcnorally
throughout Crook county tho news of
tho now mill has been rocolvod with
pleasure, as Indicated by the follow
ing statements written at the request
of Tho Dullotln.
From II. 'A. Kolley, president of
the 1'rlnovlllo Commercial Club.
"Prlnovlllo, Oro., May 11, 1915.
"To the Editor of Tho RuUctln and
People of Rend:
"Perhaps no creator boon could
come to tho community as a whole
-and to Bond In particular, than tho
building of tho big' Shovlln-Hlxon
lumber mills within Its limits. That
tho wholo county will bo boneuttod
by having such n large Industry
started In Its midst.' thero can bo no
doubt, and that Bond and its dltlzons
who have looked forward, so long,
nnd who hnvo so diligently worked
for Its accomplishment, have Just
causo to bo jubilant.
"It Ib a dovolopmont unprecedented
In Crook county, nnd ono for which
the wholo community should rojolco,
and though spoaklng Individually, as
tho president of tho Prlnovlllo Com
mercial Club, I feel safo in saying
that tho great mnjorlty of tho peoplo
"of Prlnovlllo, as well ns tho commer
cial body have nono but tho hearti
est good fcollng8, for tho present ad
vancement of Dond and its cltlzonB,
That thero Is n growing tendency
throughout tho county to nsslst and
promoto enterprises though local to
soma portion of tho community, Is
manifest, for not lator than last weok
tho County Court, which If selfish
community Intorost woro controlling,
tho extenslvo booming privileges
granted on tho Deschutes far lum
bering purposes might not have ma
terialized. "Thoro is an over growing feel
ing, and ono which should bo encour-
cjtcwl. thnt to !iok ono part of -tho
county or its citizens rodounds to tho
benefit and advantage of every other
portion.
"With tho coming of tho mills nt
Dond It will mean for that city an
Increase of population anywhero from
2C00 to 3000, -which will mean a
greater domand for all kinds of ma
terials nnd foodstuffs, which should
bo for tho grontor part supplied by
. tho ranchers and farmers, of tho
community, nnd which can bo dono
' only by groator production and do
volopmont which fact should act as
n stimulus to all forms of Industry,
with tho result of a largo incrcaso.in
wealth nnd an added increase to farm
values. When It is roallzed that we
aro several hundred mllos from .tho
nearest distributing centers, and -with
a population doubled as It woro with
in n fortnight,-with bright prospects
of contlnuod growtli, it might well
bo considered that a distributing
point is urgent In our community.
"Viewing ontorprlso from any angle, it
cannot but bo a lasting benefit to tho
community as a unit, and with tho

It means an Immedlato development
and extension of tho railroads, tho
growth of all industries of the coun

000.00 to $60,000.00 monthly, which
will add greatly to tho monoy In cir

Reprinted from Tho Dullotln extra lssuod Monday morning, May 10.
ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THE 8HKVI.1N HAW MIMj WOUIjI) HE
UNDER CONSTRUCTION WITHIN TWO WEEKS WAS AUTHORIZED HY
JOHN E. ItYAN LAST NIOHT. THE MILL WILL HE SITUATED ON THE
WEST SIDE OF THE DESCHUTES IN SECTION SIX JUST AHOVE THE
SITE OF THE PRESENT MILL OF THE UEND COMPANY, AND IS PIjAN
NED TO CUT HO MILLION' FEET PER YEAR. A ROX FACTORY WILL
HE OPERATED IN CONNECTION.
OF THE SITE TO HE OCCUPIED HY THE NEW MILL, APPROXI.
MATKLY ACRES HAVE IIEEN DONATED HY THE UEND COMPANY
WHICH, WHEN THE MILL WAS FIRST PUVNNED, OFFERED TO (JIVE
A SHE FOR THE PURPOSE ON EITHER SIDE OF THE RIVER. IV THE
TRANSACTION, W. D. CHENEY HAS GIVEN TO THE REND COMPANY,
10 ACRES ADJOINING THE REMAINDER OF THE SISEMORE PLACE
ON THE EAST SIDE.
WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE MILL CONSTRUCTION
COMES THE STATEMENT THAT THE SHEVI.IN SYNDICATE HAS PUR
CHASED THE ROGERS, OR HEND T1MIIKH COMPANY'S HOIiDINGS
ADJACENT TO REND THEREHY ADDING SOME ilo.OOO ACRES TO
THEIR HOLDINGS IN THIS VICINITY AND ASSURING SUFFICIENT
TIMRER FOit THEIR MILL FOR YEARS TO COME.
TO GIVE THE NEW MILL ACCESS TO THE RAILROAD A SPUR WILL

RAILROAD COMPANIES JOINTLY. ALL LI'MHER SHIPMENTS WILL
HE LOADED DIRECTLY ONTO CARS AT THE PLANING .MILL, DOING
AWAY WITH THE INTERMEDIATE HANDLING.
OTHER RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION WILL RE HY THE COMPANY
FOR liOGGING PURPOSES, THE CHARACTER OF THE TIMHERED
AREA ON WHICH OPERATIONS ARE TO HEGIN HEING ESPECIALLY
SUITED TO THIS FORM: OF LOGGING.
To Employ BOO Men.
Whllo ar. yot only estimates can bo
mndo it Is safo to say that employ
ment will bo given In tho mill, tho
box factory nnd In tho logging op
erations to C00 mon, who will re
colvo nn avorago wago of $3.00 pir
dty. Tho monthly pay roll, then,
figuring 20 working days to tho
month, will amount to $39,000. Es
timating that for each man employ
ed thoro will bo an addition of thrco
to tho population of tho city from trto
mill nlono gives an Incroaso ot 1G00.
Increased employment in other lines
ot buslnoss croated by tho mill
growth will add still othor hundr6ds.
To. tho.rnilronds tho mllLnrlll mean
an addition In traffic probably doubl
ing thnt which they now havo. Cut
ling 80 million foot In a year and
shipping tho wholo cut would moan
that over 20 cars would go .out from
llond dally for 3CG days. Halving
this and putting tho shipment at on
ly 10 cars a day means an increase
In yardage horo and'addod population
on tho railroad end alono.
It is understood that as soon as
mnrkot conditions warrant tho ca
pacity of tho mill will bo doubled.
