Enable Settlers.
Sell Saw ‘Logs
In Small Lots

E. F. Duby, Olof Hanson, Geo.
Dover and G. W. Nickerson, rep-
resenting the Northern British
Columbia Timbermen’s Associa-
tion, met W. G. Manders. freight
traffic manager, on the special
train and took up with him sev-
eral matters of interest to the
lumbermen. So far as the set-
tler ig, concerned the most im-
portant was to get a rate estab-
lished which would permit the
mill men buying saw logs from
settlers along the railwav and
haul them to the mills. Favor-
able arrangements will be made
and as soon as put into effect the
setilers can sell their logs to. the
mills instead of burning them un;

{the mills will be allowed to load

logs in less than car lots and at
any point along theroad. It will
mean considerable money for the
settlers. ’

Want Landing Place

The timber men from Eugene,
Ore., who were here last week
in connection with the Kis-
piox Valley timber, returned to
their homes on Sunday. They
left two men here to examine
the Skeena river fora holding
place for logs. The visitors
thought a good deal of the tim-
ber they saw and if satisfactory
facilities can be secured for get-

ting the logs onto the railway |=

they are prepared to invest con-
siderable money in the industry,
