plant, and another boiler of greater ca
pacity than the n already in use will soon
be put into the bobbin mill and the
present boiler removed. The B. SC M. r.
r. Co. are preparing a road-bed for the
side track which is to be moved nearer the
high way to give the mill company room

The dryhouse has been too small and ca

believed that this will enable the company
to dry lumber as fast as will be needed.
