I'VE expect To run our miil and salt
block about three weeks yet." said X.
q. Peters. OF Manistee, at the Morton.
.'Of course We shall have to shut down
our salt block when We do the mill. be-
cause We depend upon the slabs and
refuse matter from that 10 run the salt
establishment. That seems cheap
process, doesn't i2 BUTT ISN'T 90 cheap
as it seems. We have TO use al the
slabs that o aid make lath and pickets
and the value of the slabs alone soon
amounts to 3 good deal. Lath are
selling for $3.50 and s. . thousand and
pickets are nigh too. Still, that's a
little cheaper than making iath and
pockets and buying fuel for the salt
block. So far as numbering at Manistee
10 concerned, il has reached ifs high
tide. Next year the cut will fall of
SO, 600 900 feet. Ii will then continue
on that bass for about five or SIX years.
Then il will fall off about 100. 200. 600
feet. When that comes the numbering
DAYS of Manstee will be practically
over. don't know what they viii do
there then. Perhaps make furniture.
We have two furniture factories there
now. / believe one of then, has failed.
but some new men will take hold Of II
and soon build il up. The property is
all there yet. Men themselves don't
count much III business. They come
and 60, get rich aud fail as time flies by;
but q good property always there,
and when one set OF mcn fail to run 1t.
another set springs up who can. That's
probs blv what will hapyel to Manis-
tees iIdustrles. The men in business
now may not be able to develop any
thing new; but another clNss OF men
may come along and zee great possible
ties where apparently none exist"
