Over two thousand'' tons of this material is used, annually in the Salt Lake territory alone, and it is expected that a new plant wills soon be built to meet our demand with a local product. It has been determined that lodge-popine is fine lath and our vast exceptionally areas of this timber will in the near future soon be made to supply the demand for this class of building material Several interests, have mad manufacturing tentative arrangements with .the local forest officers to go into our timber areas this summer, said Supervisor Campbell, to investigate for themselves our timber resources and to get a better understanding of the possibilities of establishing a large manufacturing plant in or near Provo. In this connection Supervisor Campbell stated that tentative plans were being worked out by Mr. Dorman, proprietor of the wonderful recreational camp of Upper Falls, towards the harvesting of the large body of merchantable timber which is standing high on the mountain side and in the high basins back of the Upper Falls recreational resort. Mr. Donnan is planning a cable tramway that will make possible the bringing of the timber from its inaccessible location down to the Provo 'river, where a mill can be built and operated very economically by electrical power. There is a large amount of power now going to waste at this point and which can be made to operate the milling plant economically. Also, in this connection, Mr. Donnan plans to use the cable or tramway fox; the tarrying of passengers to the mountain top This plan would enable thousands of people to gain the top of the high crags and even the top of the famous Provo peak with, bu; Jitt-l- effort. Jrom the top of the perpendicular crags one can look down a thousand feet to where the river flows, winding through the Canyon like a silver rjbbon.
