was learned today that of
Klamath Falls as their
terminus... The,, operators
from the Minneapolis of
fice will be joined by of
ficials from the Bend office
and together they will
come on to this city for
their projected conference.
Locally this is taken to
mean that the company will
announce the site of ; its
Klamath saw mill, and will
s.et a date for the beginning
of its ' operations in this
county. It is the. generally
accepted belief that the S.
O. Johnson site . will be
purchased for the saw mill.'
Plans All Ready
That all plans and speci
fications tor the saw mill
n.ave beeh Completed IS De-
lieved to be a certainty. The
fact that millwrights now
employed on construction
work for the Shevlin-Hixon '
interests at McCloud, Cal.,
have. been ordered to report

that the actual construction
work will proceed immedi
