Two thousand men make big crew
but this is the number at work at Mill
nocket, on the mammoth pulp and paper
mill, the biggest in the world to be
erected there the coming season, and
more are on the way there. The place
was a railroad station in the woods but a
few days ago with a half dozen buildings
but now it has taken on the appearance
of II city of camps, boarding houses and
small dwellings, hastily erected to house
workmen and to cover the facilities for
furnishing and cooking food. Its a
great change within a brief time, and the
change process will go on all through
the season until complete plant for the
manufacture of paper from spruce logs
Is evolved.
