OVERHEARD AROUND

NEW HAZELTON

Geo. Little Very
Optimistic Over
Terrace Future

“There will be more money
brought into this district this
year than ever before; more
money will be made and it will
be spread among the people,’’ is
what George Little thinks of the
immediate future for the Ter-
race district. The lumber in-
dustry will be the source of this
revenue, and the present indica-
tions are that the lumber market
will be good for some time; His
own mill is busy and running to
capacity; Giggey & Little’s mill
and the Lakelae Lumber Co, are
both filled with orders. - Ross
Bros. & Dan Clacher are. assem-
bling machinery for a mill across
the river from town’ and expect
to be running shortly and Davis
& Kirkpatrick have their mill -
ready to resume operations, In
addition to the sawmills there
will be much money come into
the district for cedar poles and
.|piles. This season has been by
far the best year for that branch
of the industry and Mr. Little
belieyes that the next year will
see a heavier output of cedar,

Besides the lumbering industry
Mr. Little is enthusiastic over .
