THE STATE M O L , A- Big Concern for Columbia F a lls- Over 14,000,000 Feet of Finished IguubeT in the Yard. A representative of the Columbian yad» a shc^kvisit- to \he State Mill Wednesday Craning, and was more thsn surprised to find such an insUtntion. The people of Colombia Fall* are a queer folk. It seems that they are so content with the present lay out that they have little to say, and they have lived here ao long that they presume that every one knows everything with out telling^ especially a « editor. Who would suppose, wit^put being told, that .we have a saw mill in onr immediate vicinity, that is cutting from 40,000 to 60,000 feet of lumber, and fin ishing the same for market, in ten boars every day, and who would suppose that the operators of the concern now have 15 million feet of nice dressed lumber in the yard. Let’s see. That repre sents something like a million and a-half dollars, and a daily income ol something like $500. Witb..alL these smelaments what should ws care wbe ther Whitefish is a division point or not. The State Lumber Co. was incor porated in 1888, with Wm. Read presi dent and treasurer, J. 0 . Hodgens, vice- {Resident, and B. P. Bartleson, secretary and manager. This company also handle the product of the Scott mill, which is cutting about 30,000 feet daily in this vicinity. The State mill yards consist of some 30 acres, and the lumber is piled >4 feet high almost over the en tire yard, and there is 200 feet of that ■bed room 14 feet high, filled with first- class mouldings of every kind.

Next.” and the wheels of justice rolled oo, and the spectators two, showing that tHfte is nothing going to waste. Ttere are also lots- of fine shingles in sight, but they are not made at this mill,but are bandied by the State Co. Everything is working beautifully, aad-esery man working there seems tie the right man iu the right place, from Superintendent G- H. Ellsworth clear down to the raw dost pilot. Ellsworth is surely a good man in the responsible position be fills. One little stroll through the layout shows that the yard foreman and the head push is versatile 'and thorough in every detail of the bosiness. Keeping books for the company we find E. W. Stevens, a very thorough, man in that capacity. E. W. baa only been with the company a few weeks. And to- pilot the commissary depart ment is Howard Phillips, a very agree able gentleman. The boardinghouse:' a separate institution, and is manned by J .C . Butterfield, the celebrated ,r dak fiend and chemical expert, wl feats in chemistry daring the past week are something, remarkable. James Walsh is the chief biscoit shooter, and tbe hand-out he gave the editor only inade us hungry for more. The society about tbe institution is sociable and agreeable, and a dozen or more families reside in the houses near the mill. Among the families there are tboee ol A. L. Knowles, A. L. Bparrell, Lafe Burch, Rube Dalton, Sam Caffrey, W .G . Dewey. Joe Metcalf, Chks.Bach-. man, A. F. Btankey, J. W. Lind, D. Mc- Bain and G. H. Ellsworth. While there we noticed that Al. Knowles was head sawyer, and it was a pleasure to watch him handle tbe leavers with s.uch' precision, ease and grace. And among the others doing their work well were, A. L. Bparrell, lumber piler; Lafe Burch, first off bearer; R. Dalton, off bearer for plainer; Herbert Bparrell, plaining mill kid; Bam Caffrey, plain ing mill feeder; (Sam is also a good feeder at the table); W .G. Dewev, en gineer ; tDewey is a good man.

While th# cities of the great east are Civilians begging for bread, the farmers of the Great Northwest are begging foe help, and willing and able to pay good prices for labor of every kind, and tbe railroads are sending out circulars daily, beaded, 2,000 men wanted. Even from Columbia Falla alone, where construc tion work is now under way, circulars have gone abroad, headed, 2,000 wanted, and each is tbe fact at present time. Two thousand men could secure employment from this place ima. single day where they willing to labor tin the construction work ot the new- railroad now being built into this place.; and there is probably no other town in the northwest that can say ae much. The construction work will last for several months yet, and in the mean time there will be rdoln for hundreds o f laborers to help harvest tbe magnificent crops of the great Flathead Valley this season. Then there are homes the homeaeekere, ima climate that is un surpassed on the face ot. God’s earth, and amid a people whose generosity knows no bounds, and in a country where the soil, whan intelligently tilled is as faithful to give up an abundant yield of tbe diversities of choice edibles as tbe sun and moon and stars are faith ful to shed light to sow and reap and harvest. Why, oh, why is it, that peo ple, intelligent American people, \Will beg from door to door, in the great citiqi of tbe east, when their limbs ere strong enough to carry them to so grand and glorious a country ? Why is it that tbe people of tbe grasshopper infested, and blizzard and cyclone storm cellar lands of the middle states do not get itnbusd with the knowledge that there is a bet ter and brighter land ia an inconceiv able mystery. Gome west where the opportunities are ripe to the laborer, the investor and the homeeeeker. Come to Columbia Falls, “ where the storms never blow and the long sum mers given.” The Cocktail.
