BINGEN AFTER BOX FACTORY

     Bingen, Wash., June 28. - (Special) - On Monday a few Bingen citizens met and organized a stock company with a capitalization of $25,000, for the purposes of inaugurating an industrial era in Bingen. The first thing decided on is a box factory, and as there is an immediate need of such an institution, a preliminary subscription list passed around at the meeting brought forth $1000 for immediate use.
     On Tuesday morning an order was placed with a local mill for 15,000 feet of lumber for the building and work on it will be well underway by the end of the week. It is the intention later on to put in machinery for sash and board manufacture, in fact, one of the stock-holders already owns a large part of the necessary machinery. A meeting will be held in a few days to perfect the organization.
