The mill has been .constructed in less than three months, and men most familiar with the work claim it is one of the most substantial lum- ber manufacturing establishments in the northwest. Mr. Larson, who has had charge of the Crookston mill for eight years, and who is considered an authority on mill construction, has had one hundred men working on its erection and while he has pushed the work that cutting might begin Monday as originally planned, the new plant ds modern {n every de- tail and capable of turning out an annual cut of about 20,000,000 feet, the same as the mill which was destroyed by fire. Two band saws and a resaw have been installed and with the excep- tion of the latter, everything will be in readiness for the sawing of the first log next Saturday, which is the date- selected for the initial trial. Three hundred and fifty men will ‘be given employment at the Bemidji mill, calling for a monthly pay roll of approximately $25,000.
