Falls City Sawmill Resumes Work
Early risers and sleepers were awakened Wednesday morning at 5:30 by a familiar but almost forgotten sound. The siren of the Falls City mill blew its first blast in nearly a year and a half upon the morning air. Falls City people and business men are jubilant over the prospect of another year with the mill running to capacity. They expect a continuous run under the management of the new Falls City Lumber and Logging company. A large number of idle men have been given work and all in all, it might be said that that siren blast the other morning was the first little ray of sunshine that city has seen in some time.
