ASKS BOOM PRIVILEGE ON LOWER RIVER Weyerhaeuser. Files Application " NAME SOUTHERN SITE Kimball Says Company Will Be Ready When Rail ' W. I. C.S4.I.J v cax aa csucu The great Weyerhaeuser timber Interests came materially closer to Klamath with their proposed saw mill operations yesterday when the Klamath Boom company, sponsored by the Weyerhaeuser people, filed ap plication with the public service commission at Salem tor a franchise to construct booms on that part -of Klamath river, about fire miles from Klamath Falls, adjacent to the com pany's south mill site property. The move strongly Indicated that the Weyerhaeuser representative plan soon to begin their work In this vicinity. Just when activities will be underway, officials "bave not said. . On both aides ot the river the company ha bought sites and. for some time, speculation aa to which side the company would erect its mill has been rife. Some time ago, it waa said that the Holllday aite, on the north side of the river and cov ering considerable more land than does the Sutton site, on the south, would be favored. , . m 'Some persons, however, who have seen the map whlchr with the ap plication tor a franchise, was filled wiiss (lie jisiuuc SKsrrica cuiaiuuuuu, are of the opinion that the Sutton property may be nsed first. It is understood that, at the pres ent time, plans regarding the aite are in the preliminary stage. The Southern Pacific company's lines, it was pointed out, at present run directly through the old Sutton property. It was further said yes terday's application might affect plan of the northern lines, should they be permitted to enter Klamath, as they have a survey running down the north side of the river Into the big Holllday site. . . . V v Asked what significance might be attached to this new move Jack Kimball, local Weyerhaeuser repre sentative said last night: "This Is simply a matter of the company making plans to begin operations nere immeuiaies; sipusi sue lauiwiu controversy being settled In a man- eats."
