May Buy the Mill Stearns Company Considers Thompson Property
Stearns Lumber in Washburn weighs purchasing the Thompson mill from Marsh Hathway of Chicago. If bought, repairs around twenty thousand dollars would enable a fifty million feet seasonal cut. Timber losses from Odanah fires require winter logging, with up to 100 million feet planned. The move promises local employment and renewed civic activity as the mill resumes operations by May.
