The Davison Lumber Company have had a successful winter notwithstanding the various discouragements at the outset. They have now at the water’s edge twelve million feet of logs. The average number of persons employed has been only two hundred and fifty men scattered among the seven camps. Should it be late before the ice leaves the lakes they will swell the number much higher as they intend keeping up the business until driving time.
Mr. H. S. Taylor and Miss Lillian Taylor drove to New Ross and Chester recently, visiting friends en route.
Mr. H. C. Corbett, bookkeeper for the Davison Lumber Company at Camp No. 1, has accepted a situation with Alfred Dickie the Lumber King.
