BUYS SCANLON SAWMILL Will Dismantle and Remove Mill to Akeley to Replace Mill Recently Burned. Word comes from Scanlon that the Red River Lumber v;fompanv has purchased the big sawmill at Scanlon owned by the Brooks-Scanlon Lum- ber company, and will dismantle the mill and remove the machinery to Akeley, to replace the Red River Lumber company’s sawmill which was destroyed by fire on November 21. The Scanlon sawmill is one of the largest lumber, sawing plants in the state, having a capacity of more than 500,000 feet per day. R. F. Pray, general manager of the Red River Lumber company’s interests at Akeley, yesterday stated to a Pioneer representative that the company would immediately begin the work of dismantling the Scanlon plant and that he expected the mill would be sawing logs at Akeley with- in seventy days. The Red River Lumber company was fortunate in being able to secure the Scanlon mill, which was shut down a year ago, because of lack of “raw” material with which to keep the saws in motion. “‘Pleased the People.” The Maude Henderson Co. pleased all present last evening in their presentation of “My Boy Jack” be- fore a gocd sized audience at City Opera House; N.

Gray as the Dope Fiend was excel- lent in his part and showed marked ability as a character actor. Jack Mansfield as Ed. Haden was alsoa strong feature of the bill. Miss Anna Hughes made a decided hit by her superior and unaffected acting.
