Jacksonville and work xvill be com

which will be adjoining the planing
mill, 'flic machinery has been ordered
and it is expected that the factory will I
be turning out boxes by the first ot Aug
ust. file Iowa Lumber Company now
emplov about 85 men and this addition
to their plant will add about 12 imn to
their payroll. The Company lias a large
quantity of dry lumber on hand suitable
for box material and they xvill be able to
till an order promptly for any number of
boxes.
The engine in the sawmill which
broke down last week has been repaired
by the Ashland Iron Works, and Mon
day morning it xvill be started up again
with a full crew of men. Tin lath mu- t
chine, which xviis recently placed in the
mill, xvill be run to its full capacity._each
night and lath both for the local trade
and for car orders will be kept in stock.
Since the Company's office was moved
from California street to their new office
building at the planing mill the plant
has been without telephonic connections,
but the telephone linemen got the tele
phone moved Friday anil connections
made with the Jacksonville local and the
long distance lines. The Company have
a telephone line from their office to the
mill, with telephones at the mill and at
the lumber yard. Among the other im
provements that are being made by
the Company is the erection of two large
sheds in the planing mill yard to be used
to store moldings, pickets and dressed
lumber.
In the seven weeks since the planing
mill was started it has not been stopped
even one dav for repairs or for any other
cause and it is expected in the near fu
ture to have the saw mill put in a jk r-
fect condition so it too can be run with
out the bother of break downs and re
pairs.
