----
'''Phoenix Company Has Let Contract
to Idaho Firm.'''

SPRINGDALE, Wash., May 18.—Starbird
& Ticknor, recently from Chance,
Idaho, have just closed a contract with
the Phoenix Lumber company of this
place for the establishment of an
up-to-date band mill of 25,000 feet daily
capacity on the Pierce place on Chimokane creek,
three miles south of Springdale.
The contract also calls for the
cutting of 15,000,000 feet of lumber by
the mill owners for the Phoenix company,
the latter concern to furnish the
necessary logs for the same, delivered
at the mill yard, The Phoenix company
owns several sections of fine saw
timber in this vicinity and as their
logging railroad, which was
constructed last year at a cost of nearly
$1,000,000, does not reach anywhere near
enough to this tract to handle this
timber, they concluded that the cheapest
way tn which to market the timber
was to get a mill to cut it up into lumber
on the ground and then haul the
lumber to Springdale for shipment to
Spokane.
