Sleighs have been off the job. however, having been replaced by trucks. It is sur- prising what loads have been moved in this manner. We have noticed trucks going through town loaded with from fifteen to eighteen large maple logs piled on them, destined for Mildmay, Walkerton. Owen Sound and even Goderich. Several truck loads of telephone poles have been taken as far as Gait. Timber of all kinds appear to be at a premium just now, with everything saleable. Mr. Foster at Rock Mills informs The .Advance his mill yard has now more logs thai: it has ever had before, and more are wanted. He says they will buy as long as logs are offered.
