rotary and treasurer. The object of the
union is to promote the interests of car
penters and more especially the ultimate

The heavy rains of the past few days
freshet pitch. The Marston Worsted
mill has been shut down since Tuesday,
and will be unable to run for several
days. The American Wooden Co.'s mill
has been running by steam since high
water as has also the electric light
station and both pulp mills have had to
suspend operations. The electric cars
are making their trips, but not on sched-
ule time. 1t is thought the water will
go no higher as the rain is about over,
yet the water will go down slowly owing
to the quantity of snow yet remaining at
the headwaters of the river.
