The part Of visitors to Boealusa
were up early Wednesday morning
for their visit to the paper mill and
they examined the process Of max

the four mills.
After this inspection a specia
train took the whole party, with a
dozen ladies Of Bogalusa, on a visit
to the various camps of the com.

property. The first stop was at
IMarston's camp, where the turpen-
tine dlStillery was inspected and
the process Of extracting the spirit
from the crude turpentine was
observed. The logging camp here
delivers 100000 feet Of lumber
daily to the mill, and the Varnado
camp, connected with the Morston
camp by a branch road, delivers q
Hike quantity.

mill at Foxworth. just west Of

of "unwinding' the veneer from
