Good Place for a SawmiIl.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Will You
please print this answer to many inquiries
from comrades in regard to q mill-site tim
Der, water, land, railroad, etc? AS have re-
ceived many letters of inquiry, will answer
them all through your valuable paper.
First We have good land located along the
line of the Wisconsin. Central Railroad, 90 miles
from the City of Ashland, which city in ON Lake
Superior. The timber is, first. in quantity,
hemIock, Eastwood, hard sugar maple, large
birch, some oak, some ash (black and wbite),
some tamarack, spruce. fir cedar, and some
pine. The timber is large, the surface of the
country little rolling, but smooth and easy
logging. There is demand for hard wood in
many forms. and a sawmill with power enough
to run few small saws and turning. lathes5 to
manufacture this fine birch into chair timber
etc, would pay. Good timber land caHpbe
bought for from S. to $40 per acre, but one
could get all the logs he would need for his mill
for years put in by the settlers. We have men
here who would help put in good mill-would
donate. There is very large forest here, b un.
dreds of miles in extent, and but few mills.
l have answered several of the old comrades
letters, but have not heard anything further
from them. For any good man who has n mill
and wants timber cheap. here is the best chance
in the country. If this answer is not satisfac-
tory comrades, write me and ask what you
wish to know.-JoHN POWERS, High Bridge

Homes and Pensions for Ex-Rebels While

that there is scarcely a doubt but what the

some of the members claimed would not permit
an appropriation for such q purpose This
