Lumber Outlook Uncertain.

The American Lumberman's weekly
review says that what relation the gem
eral financial situation sustains to the
lumber trade is problem almost with
out solution. The week, however.
shows tnat improvement in the
country's finances does not assure
corresponding betterment OF general
conditions in the lumber business.
Some branches OF the trade are existing
in an expectant frame OF mind. The
retailers OF the central states have been
enjoying a fair call for lumber for
building purposes. and as the general
public becomes more thoroughly con

Much Farming.

The half-time schedule upon which a
number Cf our workmen are employed
Is great promoter of farming. This
is especially true at the Mansfield

almost every man has taken to clearing

den truck.
IL is safe TO say that Ne amount of
farming in this vicinity will be nearly
doubled this year as many are purchas-

Mills to Shut Down in Sixty Days

A notice has been posted at the plant
of the Bird g. Wells Lumber company,
to the effect that the saw mill will
shut down as soon as the logs in the
pond and those decked in the woods are
sawed. Woods operations have been
suspened and IL Is estimated the stock
OF logs on hand at the mill and in the
woods will keep the mill in operation
until the latter part Of July. II is re-
ported that the saw mill OF the Girard
Lumber company ut Dunbar also will
cease operations for an Indefinite per-
iod as soon as the logs now on hand are
sawed into lumber.

there Is practically no demand for lum-

that depth.

met with now, IL is rumored that the
outlook for big body is good and that
the quality is mp with that on the up

to put into place and this work may
delay loading for short time.
The Hollister still continues to lool
promising and the work is now being
done at greater depth than ever be
