BUSINESS IMPROVING.

It was ; announced Saturday by. Mr.

le E. Beasley, general superintendent ,

of the E. & N. . Railway. ‘Company,
that. the. freight: business throughout

the system has been steadily. improv- e as

of-the reasons is that. the lumber. in-
dustry appears to be picking up ma-
terially. Both the Island Lumber’ Co.
and the. Alberni. Mill, after having
been closed down: for a short time,
are. in operation. again and are. mak-
