RAFTING CONTINUES DULL.
 One hating firm has closed for an in- definite time. Some others that have limited orders propose to their work men that they will go on, and pay such part as they can on the regular pay day, and let the balance go over for a time, which we learn, the workmen agree to, feeling that it is but fair to take part of the risk, and feeling also, that "half a | loaf is better than no bread" Business continues very dull with but little hope of nearby improvement. One thing is commendable, all concerned appear to be willing to accept the situation and main tain good friendly feeling. There is much economy practiced along with hope for better things before the cold blasts of winter come.
