TRYING TO SECURE BIG SAW MILL AT PAYETTE
 
Citizens of That Place Confer With Mr. Cobban, who Agrees to More Complete 
Examination
 
Recent developments make it very possible that the big saw mill plant to be 
installed on the Payette river by Cobban Bros & Casey, will be put in at 
Payette.
 
A committee of prominent citizens of that place were in the city last night 
and had a conference with R. M. Cobban, when he agreed that more thorough 
examination should be made of the reservoir capacity at Payette, and that his 
firm would make no definite arrangements for Emmett till this is concluded.  
The committee was composed of Peter Pence, A. B. Moss, N. A. Jacobson, Burt 
Venable, Henry Helmick and A. E. Wood.  They are all quartered at the Overland.
 
Little could be gleaned of the actual business transacted last evening, except 
that the gentlemen stated the reservoir at Payette was a natural site, of 
large capacity and certainly better than any upon the river.  One of them 
stated to a reporter that this fact was demonstrated by observation and 
investigation.  They want the mill at Payette, and, inasmuch as they believe 
they have the best site, they see no reason why it should not come to them.
 
Another conference will be held today, when W. F. Cobban, who has been in the 
Payette lakes section for the past 10 days, will be present, and when more 
definite arrangements will be made.  The members of the committee stated last 
night that they now have no doubt of securing the big mill for Payette.
