Lumber Raft to Cross SEA.

One of the marvels of the age, ac-
cording to the marine authorities, an
invention which will make possible the
towing of 216,000 cubic feet of lumber
safely across the Atlantic ocean, has
been completed at provincial port.
No matter how severe the storms orl
how dangerous the undertaking, the
big raft is SO constructed that it will
be able to make the long trip without
any possibility of loss or damage. MOST
OF the machinery used in this initial
craft can be used over again and sol
the cost of construction, estimated all
close to $4,000, will not affect the
business end of the undertaking.
The lumber, said to be sorely needed
on the other side, is valued at $4,000.
The big raft has been under construc
tion for several months, 70 men being
employed all the time on the work Of
building it.
