tion tomorrow afternoon, 1t will lie
only the preliminary beginning to
test the machinery, but 1t will run
several h ours, and steady operation
will begin the following morning. :,
Not only Ia the mill in first-class
condition. but ell other con-
ditions are favorable. There are
plenty of logs in the pond to sort
from, and the company has an
abundance of timber already on the
way down river from it's head waters
to keep, the. mill steadily at work.
both day and night.
About sou men will be necessary
for the company's work at this place
which js a much larger number than
last year, and ia due to the change Of
the sorting Of logs from the hands OF
the Boom company to that of the mill
company. About seventy-five men
are necessary for this work, and the
number of men employed by the mill
company this season will exceed that
of last season by fully, that number.
The addition of a number Of men
is not the only. advantage to
this city by the mills operations this
season over that of last season.
There ia a good prospects for an ad-
vance in wages. While the skilled
laborers will not in any instances re-
ceive an advance, the common labor
ers are quite certain to receive larger
pay this season than for several sea-
sons. Men are scarcer now than they
have been for years at this season,
and as wages are advancing In near
" all industries requiring common
labOrers It ITO more than probable
that they will be advanced here also.
The beginning this season IL abont
ten days later than last season, but
tits not the fault Of the company.
for it was anxious to begin. M soon
as possible, for their timber piles
have been greatly diminished during
the several MONTHS :, since the mill

mill is now needed to supply orders.
