northern edge of Talent, a small settlement oh the
highway. ' , , , ' ,
lieyond the fact that the company plans to install a
double band mill, little is known.
Representatives of the company have stated that the
company has already acquired sufficient timber for a
ten-year run.
In this territory the new company will be in direct
competition with Owen Oregon Lumber company, now
operating a large mill at Medford.
Many billion feet of untouched timber lie in back of
the newly-acquired mill site. The timber in this section
is about half and half f'r and pine, the pine being of
three kinds. The new company is said to plan taking
timber along the Applegate and far up into the moun
tains, where growth is said to be particularly heavy.
