The area's new $12,000,000 Johns Man ville plant, which utilizes lodgepole to manufacture acoustical board, has added sawmill moved to the county i 250 jobs to the local economy. in 1863 from the gold diggings at Jacksonville. -Heralded Start The move, says the Digest, heralded the beginning of the important forest industry which today accounts for 85 per cent of the county's man ufacturing and processing ac tivity.
