MCMINNVILLE TEAM LOSES TO TILLAMOOK in regard to rebuilding the saw mill, which was destroyed by fire a month ago at Bay City Having bought some of the saw mill at Hobsonville, this will be used in rebuilding. It was planned at first to have the new saw mill operated by electricity, but it seems that other arrangements were made when O. H. Schwerdtman came in from Portland. Steam will be the main power, although some electricity will be used, and with the boilers little damaged by the fire, it is thought operations will commence much sooner, as it would have taken some time to obtain electric motors from the east.
