under the management Of Mr.. Geo. w.

has been improved greatly within the
/ past year, and now cuts from fifty to
sixty thousand feet of lumber dally-all
OF which is consumed in local building
and improvements. with the exception OF
comparatively small amounts sent occl-
sionally to Alaska. Mr.. Downs was for
many years superintendent of the large

barren shore with intent to commit
Mr. Pettygrove's dream
of living to see Portland and Port
connected by railroad was
never realized, but like many other
earthly hopes was deferred for other,
people to realize. Still, the event is

that ambitious pioneer. The dream
might have been realized had there
been as much push and enterprise
manifested ten years ago as there is
now.

A Correction.

To the Editor Of TIE Register:
In the REGISTER Of March Goth appeared
an article headed "Cowardly Assault"
Stating that l tied up a stone in a hand
kerchief aud beat Thomas Keyue over the
head. This is untrue, and in justice TO
myself l ask that you make a correction
Of the article mentioned. 1t ia true that
Thomas King and l were fighting, but if
your correspondent had been an eye wit
ness Of the affair he would give me credit,
ard not endeavor to convict, for having
defended myself against the attacks of Mr..
Keyne. The fact that | did not begin the
fight will be proven when the proper mo-
meDt arrives.
As to my bad reputation and treacber-
ous disposition, l leave for them to decide
who know me best. Very truly,
