Hotel, Mr.. J. ID. Morgan and lady taxi

MAKING SmScLEs.-During the past
'seasSn there has been an unusually brisk
demand for shingles, both for the home
as well as Seattle market There is now
nothing like the amount made on this
river that could easily he sold, especially
rs the timber can be got out in bolts in
the woods, and removed to suitable
place under cover, or adjoining persons
residence at = slight expense, and there
workcd up according to a persons con
ycnicnce. As An illustration of this way
of doing, We would rrtcr to the shingle
factory of Geo, II. Plumb, situated near
the bridge across Ferguson's creek.
Himself and another man spent some
three weeks time in getting out bolts
and rafting them down from the Sno-
quamic'to this place, where they secured
them in the creek. Mr.. Plumb has kept
at work manufacturing this timber since
that time, and has made some 90 VI. of
shingles, , VI. shakes, and about NJ it,
OF cedar siding besides getting out con.
siderable finishing house timber for win
dow frames &c The original raft is
only about one half used up. The tim
bcr is Of excellent quality, and none but
himself can he to blame ira first class
article is not furnished Our carpenters
inform us the shingles they are now u.s.
ing, furnished by Mr.. p, are OF excellent
quality.
BY this enterprise Mr. p. has furnished
himself stcady work in town, in place OF
remuving himself from society, and con.
hning himself to the woods, which he
would be compelled to have done, If he
had made up this timber without first
rafting TO town. We especially speak of
this to show how easy it is by a little
enterprise to create business here, and
still for . party to remain where he can
participate in all the pleasures OF society
found in our little town.
