Humors' that the Gilehlrt Timber Co., Is clearing a mill site near La Pino with the intention nt starting rons(ruc(ion of a saw mill there, are erroneous, according to word received ff-m B. V. Wrlglit representative of v.-.e company In Portland. The story originated from the fact that assessment work Is belns clone to maintain a water right on which the company has filed, Wright explains. Repeated reports of a new sale of timber by the Gilchrist company to The Shevlin-Hlxon company are also erroneo.us, Wright states in Si Is letter to the Bulletin. For some time the ShcvIIn-Hixoa company has held a c-ontract for the purchase of certain timber which it alone could manufacture, because it is surrounded by Shevlin-Hlron timber, in Klamath county. This sale had not been completed because of dlffcultles wltili the till'!, but these are now cleared up an 1 the deal has been closed. There has been no sale of any of the principal holdings of tlu Gilchrist Timber Co., and no such proposition Is now under consideration. Carter Logging Co.
