TO
CLOSE DOWN
HIGH PRICE OF LOGS CAUSES oP.
ERATfoNs AT KNAPPToN TO
CEASE TEMPORARILY.

The Columbia mill. situated at KNAPP
ton at Knappton, will continue In op-
month for an indefinite period The
reason for the suspension of milling OPP
erations is the high price demanded for
logs. The Simpson Lumber company
has mills at different points on the
coast and they all, with the one excep-
ton at Knappton, will continue in op-
Grafton and as soon as the company
obtains reasonable reduction in the
price of material. business 1t is thought
will look up across the way.
The price received for logs in that
section is $40 a thousand, and the 'farg-
est camp on either Grays or Deep river
puts 100000 feet in the water daily. An
uninitiated person might jump at the
conclusion that the operator Of that
camp, providing he sold all his logs at
that price, would become a millionaire
in comparatively short space OF time,
but 1t is fact that loggers, while
some of them become reasonably well
fixed in the course of time, do moi
develop into millionaires by continuing
merely in the logging business, The
expense of running logging camp is
enormous when taking into considera-
ton besides the pay roll and stumpage,
the wear and tear. the occasional
slump in the market and loss incident
to bad weather.
