The business outlook of this town
is a promising one. The past season
has been unusually favorable for the
transportation Of logs to tho numrr..
GUS mills IN the vicinity. But few
people have any idea Of the immense
lumber trade Of this place. Tho fol-
lowing will give some idea of the
amount Of money represented bv tho
great i.d0strv and some idea OF its
Importance 10 tho country: There
are six principal milla which repre-.
sent $4650M Their daily oa,pa, is
420,Q00 tell, Their plaiMcrs have !
dressing capacity Of 5000 feet per
day. They consume about 1,A0O,OOO
logs In six months. These logs will
each represent when delivered 1t the
mill about the amount OF wages for
ono days labor. In addition to tho
above, there arc i've tirms which
deal IN square timber 10 tho amount
Of millions Of feet per month.
