Portland gives the advice 10 leave il alone .
He says: ALREADY there are at least
$500 Idle men in the camp, and with
more coming in every day. Some OF the
arrivals have money aud are able 10 care
for themselves. OF these have nothing
to say. But Of the others who reach here
with possibly barely sufficient money 10
pay weeks board ami prot&bly not
that. there is much to be written.
"The country Is covered deep with
snow, effectually preventing any proc
pecting or development work, and be-
yond such work there is nothing for the
newcomer arriving without funds TO look
TO. Already those here have become q
burden on the business men and the in
vestigators who, with come money
| thought to arrive early on the ground
and get first chances at any speculative
proposition that might nuateralize with
the going of OF the snow.
There viii not be an inch OF gros1uC
bare, however, before April Iss, and il
the meantime the spectators are paying
for the privilege OF being in Rossla nd b
c., at the rate OF So per day and w'Aa
they are forced to give up to the hungry

THAT PROPOSED SAwMILL.-Mr, ]. Il
Decew returned to Ainsley and has since
written to an Albany friend urging the
pushing of the effort to start sawmill
here. His proposition is one for the or
ganiEation OF joint stock company in
which the people of Albany shall sub
scribe o certain amount of the stock,
Mr. A. B. Hammond viii be in the city
for day or two and an effort viii be
made to secure concessions in the mat
ter Of which Mr.. Decew on his recent
visit here was unable to secure, and
which It is doubted If he viii grant. The
enterprise is one that deserves substsn'
tial encouragement; but the truth is our
business men need their money in their
businesses, and capitalists do not seem
inclined to invest in such enterprises

is not flattering tor the location hera
