^{page 422 note 6} Garrett Eddy has indicated that qualified scholars may use those papers which remain with the company.

^{page 423 note 7} Skinner and John W. Eddy had initially ventured into the salt business, but were forced to disband when they ran afoul the Sherman Act. The Port Blakely Mill Company was for sale when this salt capital was awaiting reinvestment.

^{page 423 note 8} See Edwin T. Coman, Jr., and Helen M. Gibbs, Time, Tide and Timber, a Century of Pope and Talbot. Because operations of the Puget Mill Company have been substantially related in this book, no attempt will be made here to characterize it. Space, instead, will be devoted to a description of the papers only.

^{page 424 note 9} See Meany, “History of the Lumber Industry,” chap. 10 for a background discussion of this development. Dr. Meany did not use the Merrill and Ring papers.
