ruled that mail must be looked over be-

awakened the few men in the crew who
we're remaining at Argyle over Sunday,

The Hollingsworth & Whitney pulp
mill at Winslow shut down at 8 o'clock
Saturday night and will not start until
Monday morning, july g. For the first
time during the last Is years, although
sundry repairs have been made from
time to time has it been necessary to
give the machinery thorough overhaul.
ing AS long as the work of inspecting
the boilers, feed pipes, etc, was consid
cred imperative, it was thought best to
take advantage of the holiday and make
the work of inspection and repairs
thorough throughout the mill. This
does not mean that the employees, num-
bering nearly 1000 people, will be out of
employment during this time, as nearly
one half OF the force will be kept busy
