LUMBER PRICE
'RICE (JOES UP FIFTY CENTS
PER THOUSAND AND FEEL
1NG IN SAWMILL CIRCLES
CONSIDERABLY WETTER.
IS
According to newspaper reports
which have been confirmed by other
sources, tbo price of lumber advanced
fifty cents a thousand during tho past
week, and the feeling in lumber cir
cles is the best that it has been since
11) 12.
This report is of vital interest to
Coos county as we are pre-eminently
a lumber section and it is largely up
on the lumber market that this sec
tion depends. With a couple of ad
vances like this the conditions would
be materially changed awl instead of
manufacturing lumber at a loss tho
mills could make a good profit on ev
erything.
The report goes on to stale that
advance in price will likely continue
which is certainly good news, and
would indicate .that the financial de
pression is only temporary, and that
better times are ahead.
PLAN TO .MAKE ROMAN
CHEESE IN COOS COUNTY
The following from tho Portland
Journal will interest dairymen: Rep
resentatives of an Italian cheese man
ufacturing company are in Coos coun
ty to secure a tract of land on which
to locate an Italian colony. Tho idea
is to build a factory for tho manufac
ture of Roman choose, a variety that
Im a large sale among the Italian
people. This cheese is made from
tho milk of a special variety f sheep.
The men are looking for f00 acres of
cheap logged-olf land which can bo
seeded awl used as pasture for sheep
which will be brought hero. With the
colonist engaged in raising the
sheep awl producing tho milk a cheese
factory would bo erected. They say
they want to atari with n settlement
of 500 acres, but that the project
would soon bo extended so that sev
eral thousand aero would bo settled
by tho Italian cheovc makers.
