Lumber Operations on the Connecticut

\ correspondent OF the Boston Journal
gress of Holyoke. Mass, refers to a new
enterprise in which prominent parties in
Maine are interested:
Within the past few months a new and
valuable enterprise has been established
here, a large lumber and saw mill The
enterprising lumber dealers and builders
of Holyoke have heretofore been obliged
to purchase their lumber already sawed in
upper Vermont. New Hampshire. Canada
and the West. The finishing has been
done here to suit In consideration of the
immense amount used in this vicinity the
lumber business has assumed vast proper
tons and the freight bills of the dealers
are heavy. The question has often been
raised why logs could not be fioated down
the Connecticut and sawed here, thereby
saving considerable on the cost of the fin
ished material. There has never seen any
one bold and enterprising enough in late
years to attempt il, owing to the uncertain
ty OF the river and the heavy freshets dur
ing the year, and other reasons. Some
twenty-five years ago it was tried but was
found to be a loosing business owing to
cross-firing lawsuits about logs and ripar-
ian damages. The usual mode In late
years. whenever attempted, has been by
rafting, but even this method was finally
given up so far as any amount is concern
ed. Last year Mr.. Eli Hanson. an old
lumberman, of Bangor, Me-. conceived
the idea of finding a suitable place for the
establishment Of saw mill and the open
ing Of general lumber business nearer
the central markets, to which he could
transport the products of the mill at great
" reduced rates. He made tour of the
Connecticut from its very headwaters for
the purpose of becoming acquainted with
it and finding the desired location. Here
at Holyoke he discovered the very place he

operations in bringing the wheat Harvard
BY the lack of storage aud the want of
ships TO carry il away. III the road were
now constructed to San Francisco via
Ravenswood, every warehouse shed. and
available storage in the city would be filed
with sacks of grain. and even then the
great bulk of the crop would still be left
in the interior.
So enormous is this years production of
the cereals. that the minds OF the produc-
ers. the grain operators. and the managers
of the railroads, are taxed to their great
est ingenuity TO know what to do with il.
or how to take care of. Should the rainy
season set in very early, as is now threat
ened. the damage will be fearful. What
an anomaly that our agricultural popua-
ton. which is so few in number, should be
able 10 produce crop of such magnitude
as TO reach beyond the capacity and enter
prise of our business MEN to manage or Sc
cure.
There must be a lack offoresight in some
of our business and commercial depart
ment of Society. And it is to be hoped
that this years harvest. foreshadowing as
it does the wonderful producing power Of
this country, when it shall be fully popu-
lated and developed. may knock some old
and narrow ideas out of our heads, and
but some new and enlarged ones into them |
