The work On the planning mill is pro-
crossing favOrably. This week they have
been engaged laying the floors, putting

completed, and the building is ready for

put on 1t, nor on the planning mill proper,
until the machinery is started up, which,
1T Is expected, will be sometime the COM

airy shop to say the least but one that

ever, after they get to running to dress
the lumber and get it enclosed and roof
put on.
The proprietors of the new planning
mill are making preparations for doing
large business as soon as they can get
the mill started. The machinery is of
the best and they have purchased large
