Re-roofing Silk Mill.

The Reynoldsville Hardware Co. has
crew of men at work roofing the silk
mill this week. This is quite a large
roof, containing about 1000 square feet.
and the material used is Carey's mag
nesia cement roofing. We understand
this is very durable composition and
probably stands next to slate for dura-
bility and fireproof. 1t is used for some
Of the largest buildings in the world
Every one interested in and about
Reynoldsville will be pleased to learn
Of these repairs being made on the silk
mill, as /. is pretty sure sign that it
will soon be humming.

eral mosths' time. The
vast vduns OF freight
rc.hipped at this point
supplied work for thou
sands Of men in various
capacities, and the bust
ness men OF the city built
up immense trades.
Later another road
was built across the con-
tinent, farther to the
north, and a new harbor
the Puget Sound
came into prominence;
another town built up,
and as il in turn offered
advantages 20 shippers
il became an important
point, and Seattle began
TO grow.
You perhaps remem-
Der the time when First
avenue lots were worth
one or two hundred dol
lars apiece, and you can
easily remember when
Third avenue lots could
be bought for two hun
dred dollars. Today
these same lots are
earning eight per cent
on a hundred thousand
dollars. Yet it is only
about twenty-five years
since the railroads
brought their tirst
through shipment of
freight. Where else in
the world is it possible
for two hundred dollars
TO grow-yes, literally
grow-into one hundred
thousand dollars in that
time? One is almost
tempted to say nowhere,
but there is one place,
and only one 1880 Port
Simpson.
As in the days Of long
ago, when the engineers
OF that pioneer Western
road selected a terminal
where a huge freight
shipping trade could be
handled, the engineers
Of a new road-the Hud-
son Bay Pacific-have
selected Port Simpson as
the terminal OF the short
est transcontinental line
IN America; a road that
is destined, because Of
its very shortness. to be-
come the greatest
freight hauling road in
America.
All of the factors that
entered into the up
building of San Francis
co are present at Port
Simpson. The harbor is
equally as large and
much safer. The dis
lance between the Allan
tic and the Pacific is
again shortened as much
by the new road as il
was by the older road,
and shippers are even
more eager today to
cut down transporta-
ton cost than they
were in the sixties.
Port Simpson will grow
as grew San Francisco
or Seattle, and because
of the same reasons. But
other factors enter into
the question here. The
road that will reach the
Pacific at Port Simpson
not only offers the ship
per a saving from the
Atlantic to the Pacific OF
over two thousand
miles, but il Shortens the
present route from Eu-
rope to the Orient by
over 5000 miles.
The natural resources
of the country tributary
10 Port Simpson are I'M
equaled by those of any
city in the world today.
