good demand for labor of nearly every

The only man who might go to
British Columbia with poor prospects
of success is the man without trade

a big difference in the men of this

natural ability to find place here
or anywhere else.

known as the Fraser River Saw Mills,
says the West Coast Lumberman, re-
ferring to the Canadian plant OF the
Anacortes Lumber & Box Co. at Fra
ser Mills, B. c., formerly hillside.
The mill is 455 feet long, with an ex-
IRENE height of 72 feet. The ground
floor is occupied largely by the shaft
ing. The brick engine room is 44x76
feet; boiler house 76xS8 feet, and the
fuel house 4Ox60. 5000 h. p. will be
generated by the boiler and transmit
ted through the engines to the differ
ent machines of the plant. A log 120
feet in length and very wide diam
eter can be handled through the
eleven-foot band saw.
This mill was sold by Lester w.
David, in 1907, to the new owners.
The officers of the company are: A
D. Mckee, president; Peter Jensen,
Nebraska vice-president and r. H.
Brown secretary.
1t is estimated the mill will have a
capacity of 120,000,000 feet annually.
The estimated cost of the property is
over half a million dollars. The citi-

Indians Big Catch of Salmon.

The catch of Quinault salmon this
season was the greatest ever known.
Seventy-jive thousand fish were de-
lvered at Hoquiam, valued at $35, 900.
This is $4,000 more fish than have
ever been caught in any previous sea-
son. The Quinault Indians used adj
vanced methods this season in fish
ing, going out beyond the breakers In
their frail canoes and then setting
their nets. Hundreds of fish were
caught in the lagoons where they had
been left by the receding tides.
This enormous catch was made by
80 Indians and the entire tribe en-
1oyed the prosperity. They were paid
in full at Hoquiam one day this week.
