Demand for Timber Land.
Oregon
This is evidenced by the hesitation on the
part of buyers to take hold of timber
lands that cannot be made available
without considerable expense in prepar­
ing to bring the logs to some stream.
Among the earliest of the results of im­
portant timber deals in Clatsop and
Tillamook counties will be the erection
of a large sawmill on Nehalem Bay, by
Dubois & Wheeler, of Pittsburg, Pa. This
mill is to have a capacity of 60,000 feet a
day, and will supplant the mill in opera­
tion at that point now’. A powerful tug
is being constructed for the purpose of
assisting timber-loaded vessels out over
the bar, which at the right stage of tide
is said to be able to float ships drawing
14 feet. Work is to begin on the new
mill early next spring.
The extension of the railroad from Sea­
side to Nehalem will be accelerated by
these big timber deals, as moneyed men
will not rest until their investments be-
gin to earn dividends.—Oregonian.
