INCREASING OUTPUT AT
SAWMILL CAMP OF M'NARY

Monday night about 80 negroes ar
rived from Louisiana, bound for Nc
Nary, Arizona, where they entered
into the employ of the W. NJ. Cady
Lumber company. The train on the
Apache branch from Holbrook to Nc
Nary, which was due to leave about
noon that day, waited until the arri-
val of No. 81 on the Santa Fe at
midnight, taking the party direct to
McNary the same night. Aside from
the worlxmen there were about the
same number of women and children.
A visitor to McNary from Holbrook
states that everything in and about
the big lumber company's plant is
running nicely Lumber to the extent
of 175,000 feet is being turned out on
each 10-hour shift.
1t is further stated that the lum-
Der company has secured the timber
in the White mountains westward as
far as Flagstaff, in the Apache In
dian reservation and the Sitgreaves
national forest. Thus it can easily
be seen the magnitude of the opera
tions of the large concern, which will
mean so much to northeastern All

extensive proposition as the lumber
interests in this part of the state is
such as to demand company with
unlimited means, as large capital is
required in order to make it produc-
tive of profit to the operators.
We are told that there are now IN
the McNary hotel at least 250 white
workmen who are employed in the
mill, as well as large number OF
whites in the woods.
The colored population has its own
quarters, which are being provided
with all the necessary accommoda-
tions and conveniences. Later plans
are to be outlined for the amusement
of this section of the community, so
that the worknen and their families
will be satisfied and contented with
their surroundings.
Taken altogether, the camp is one
of the best equipped and most cap
ably managed of any in the country,
which will mean a maximum output
of lumber to those who have taken
the hazard, if such it can be consid-
ered.-Holbrook Tribune.
