1t may not be generally known that this
town aside from its thrifty farming inter-
ests possesses field of enterprise in the
wood and lumber business second to none
on the line of the p. & o. r. r. In some
parts of adjoining states the most liberal
offers are made to induce men to settle
and develOpe comparatively new territory
in as much as the land is put at a mere
normal price, and the purchaser has the
, privilege of paying for his farm in labor
on the roads. This is a wise provision
Good roads and plenty of them enhance
the value of real estate open up and
makes accessible the wealth of town OF
community, and in every way promotes
the interests of its inhabitants. No MAJ
feels the full force of the above remarks
more than Mr.. Calvin Davis, who is al
l ready extensively engaged in the manu-
facture of lumber, about two miles from
this village, in the northern part of thu
) town known as East Ill.," where he il
r doing more this season than all the othe
mills in town. Mr.. Davis has now in hi
n mill yard over three-quarters of a million
f feet of lumber about half of which is Gu
/ out and piled up to season. Two hun
dred and fifty thousand feet of this lum
Der is maple and birch, which varies il
= width and thickness from nine to sixtcel
: inches wide, and from tive-eighths to tiv
:, inches thick. The hard wood lumber i
all sold in the rough at twenty-five dol
lars per thousand delivered on the cars a
II this station. The soft lumber is all spruc
and is to be all planed and matched an
y delivered as above. Mr.. Davis is to hav
, his cash, rs soon as the stock is loade
before it leaves the place. The mill i
:. located OH the outlet of Wolcott pom
e which is not sufficient to do the bushes
p and in addition, he has twenty-five hors
l. power engine to do the work. In tn
:, hard wood he runs on one inch and ha
= feed, employs five hands, and saws fror
e seven to nine thousand per day. By hi
+, location he commands almost the entir
l. lumber territory of the town and refuse
/ one thousand logs the past winter that h
d could not handle with his present power
It Mr.. Davis is quiet, energetic hard-worl
ing man and if strict attention to bushes
amounts to anything his venture mu:
prove success.
