According to reliable informa-| tion, the Backus-Brocks lumber company of Minneapolis will in the near future commence the erection of a large sawmill at Northome. It is claimed that the company has practically de- cided to make Northome the location for a first class lumber manufacturing plantand that the mill will be about the same size as the Minneapolis mill of the| Backus-Brooks company, which was recently disposed by them. James Anderson, superintend- ent at Blackduck for the Thief River Falls Lumber company, was in the city yesterday and stated that he had positive in- formation to the effect that the Backus-Brooks company intend- 2d to build a mill at Northome. Mr, Anderson is one of the best ‘posted lumbermen in this section of the state and his statement carries much weight. ° “The Backus-Brooks people are trying to make the people living on the Big Fork river be- lieve that they will build a mill at Ripple,”’ said Mr, Anderson. “I am quite certain that the com- ‘pany has no intention of erecting a plant in the Big Fork town,and the only reason I can see why| they should attempt to make the ‘people believe that the mill will be erected at Ripple is that they can secure much valuable pine Jands located along the river ata| minimun cost in this manner.” Mr. Anderson also says repre- | sentatives of the Backus-Brooks company have been looking over the ground at Northome for some time past.
