	A. J. DAVIS:  Among the recently organized and developed 
interests of Chehalis is the lumber manufacturing plan conducted 
under the name of the Chehalis Mill Company, of which A. J. Davis 
is the secretary and treasurer.  He is a native of Chicago but has 
been a resident of Lewis county, Washington, since 1905 and 
throughout the intervening period has been identified with lumber 
interests in this section of the state.  He was connected with the Doty 
Lumber and Shingle Company at Doty and later was located at 
Kelso, where he owned a shingle mill.  After several years' 
connection with that business Mr. Davis sold out and came to 
Chehalis, where in 1916 the Chehalis Mill Company was formed, 
with C. A. Doty as the president, B. J. Docherty as the vice 
president and Mr. Davis as secretary and treasurer.  They have 
erected a most modern plant equipped with steam power, with a 
capacity of one hundred thousand feet of lumber daily.  Their first 
camp was opened on the Cowlitz, Chehalis and Cascade Railroad.  
The mill is situated on all the different railroads of Chehalis, thus 
furnishing an excellent outlet for shipping.  The officers of the 
company have had long experience in the lumber trade and Mr. 
Davis has done splended work in developing his present interests in 
Chehalis.
	In Portland, Oregon, in 1916, Mr. Davis was united in 
marriage to Miss Imogene Rewey, of that city.  Fraternally he is 
connected with the Masons and with the Elks.  He is widely known 
as an energetic business man, alert to his opportunities, and his life 
has been organized along lines that have called for a full dole of 
labor within each turn of the wheel.
