Into this logs are dwh|>ed from railway car* every day during winter cut and picked byjack chain and carried into the mill. The summer cut is sup- plied by towing down the lake from Pigeon River. This enterpiise fairly started the ball rolling, and called for rha erection of a large number of bouses to accommodate i its e mployeet, who are paid all the way t from 25c to 80c par hour.

Uiher ! claraea oame and other industries have i been eatAblished antil, aa you will have noticed, the town of 3000 has become the I city "( 1.5}, OQO in six years. I have oiily I touched one point. There are other j interesting enterprises guioK and prepar- ! ing for of equal importance, such as I blast fumacea, coal docks, brick factories, i and others, which, if at all mterestiug tu I your readers I shall be pleuad to speak of at a future time. There is one feature of this snotiou which has been sadly misunderstood and undervalued la the past on which I in- tended speaking at this time but which I think is quits sufiicieot of itself for a full letter â€" namely, its agricultural inter- eats wbififa to tba outsider seems to be nil â€" bttcthisis • grave mistake.

Bditor Advance, Dear Old Friend â€" Quiet moments call tip old associations and faces of old friends, sod thinking over my ploasootand happy days spent im Flesherton I thought even I were pretty near forgotten; yet some obaotvations on the wild and woolly west at ' the past, that is now taking a new dress, might not be without interest to a few of my old chums and perhaps to some at » younger generation. It will soon be six yoars since the steamer City of Collingwood from Samia, on which your scribe was a passenger, landed me at Port Arthur docks, a stran- gaz^in a stiitnge laud. On leaving tho boat wrhen the elock pointed to 7 a. m., not wishing to w^t another hour for break- fast, I started out in .search of a restaur- «at, but failing to find an open door for some time had about ooncluded it was a sleeijy town, when I was informed that by wastem time it was an hour earlier on idioro than on tho boat, then I realized that I had got away from home. But after I had succeeded in supplying the ueeda of the inner nmn I proceeded to take in tho town. Within a few hours I had met Mr- John Urahani, formerly of <.)range Valley, who is still here, and though he is five yeaw past tho sj>»n of threescore and ton is still hale and hearty. His nephew, Mr. Jos. Giuihsm, who also nu a boy lived in the Valley, is| the proprietor of the City Livery, the leading stable cf the town, housed in a lino now stone structure recently erected by Mr. Graham. Next I met W. (i, Armstrong, whom I liad known as Wes. in his native village, now head of the Armstrong- Be iry Jewellery Co. , doing a leading business. Now for the town: On my arrival the twin towns. Port Ai-thur and Fort Wil- liam, were each said to contain about :UX)0 iuhabitant!i,bute!u:h looking forwaid to a brighter d:iy ahead. The Pigeon River Lumber Co., who then held a small mill at Fort William, were prej^ariug to erect a larger pl.-mf at Port Arthur, in carrying out which your humble servant assisted for the greater part of the next ysfurandahalf. This gave a great impetus tii the town, as they employ a latue staff of men here as well as in the woods, the camp taking their supplies from here and tnost of tho money from the large pay xoll being spent here. The mill contains hree baud saws, 2 of which are double eadcrs, with two sets of teeth, cutting JJotb vivys; the other an automatic re-saw, J«o a circular g'Uig and edger, which cuts Itttnber from lla,tted .stock six inches and from sick We received the following items Maple Grove on the north line : Mr. McEellop has been ou tho list for the past 2 weeks.
