gan work on their lumber mill. which
was sufhciently finished by Feb. Is. 1914
to enable the company to begin saw
ing. The mill built is a modern one
having two large band mills and one
large horizontal resaw. The capacity
OF the plant is 1o5 thousand feet per
day and the plant runs the year round.
Some idea OF the magnitude Of the
business carried on by this firm may
be imagined by the explanation Of its
railroad system and the large number
OF buildings which have been built in
the project. The company has built a
railroad from the station at Jackman
to the mill and then back into the
woods, which with the spurs gives
them practically twenty-six miles Of
railroad. The company have three To-
comotives and seventy cars and have
established a large store house and
camp about ten miles from the mill
from which supplies are distributed to
the jobbers who put in the company's
logs. In addition to the mill there Is q
large house for the locomotives, a
blacksmith shop, a car repairing shop
and machine shop for repairs on the
mill.
From G. H. Prouty, president of the
concern, 1t was learned that 1t had be-
come necessary to have some method Of
caring for the large number OF en-
ployees needed to keep the mills going
and consequently the company has
erected large boarding house and are
now able to accommodate 10 boarders
while as an addition to the original an
annex has been built where suites for
men and their wives have been ar
ranged Here employees are given the
modern comforts to ge found in city
apartments. steam heat being furnished
direct from the mill while there are
bathrooms upon each floor and a big
supply Of hot water always available
from big boiler where the water is
heated by steam. In the kitchen there
are marvellous labor saving devices
such as the steam laundry, steam
cooker. an electric dish washer, an
electric machine for chopping hash, a
potato peeler that will peel a bushel
and half OF tubers in from FIVE to
eight minutes and a modern hotel
range. Aside from this commodious
home for the workmen it has also
been found necessary to provide houses
for the employees and already cottages
have been erected which are very COM
Portable and satisfactory. There is al
so A fire system consisting OF a thous-
and gallon pump which discharges into
an inch cast iron water pipe and pro-
tects the mills. An extension also goes
to the lumber yard and from the end Of
the pipe a smaller service pipe has
heen carried to tho cottages to supply
them with running water. The drink
ing water supply is splendid on. the
vast estate mile pipe bringing the
supply from a spring Of excellent
water. One Of the most interesting
things about Jackman or the esta blish-
ment OF the Lumber Company is the
pond which the company has made to
hold its logs. This was accomplished
by tuildine concrete dam nearly 800
feet long and "a feet high In the high
est place, and flooding thereby about
so acres. Tn the winter portion of
this IS heated with exhaust steam and
with hot water from the company's
burner so that the frost can be taken
out Of the logs by means OF the hot

to investigate the pardoning
business. If all the people who

One thing is absolutely certain,

Hays were just and deserving,
