The Davison Lumber Company are doing a booming business. They have four hundred men employed, have built three new camps, an office and storeroom at No. 1, making in all nine camps. They have six teams hauling supplies from Cherryfield and distributing among the various camps. It is estimated that five tons of provisions are shipped from No. 1 warehouse every day. Everything seems to be progressing under Mr. J. W. Cross’s superintendency. Of the ten miles of railroad that it was proposed should be built at once some rails are laid; four and a half miles are graded, and three miles more cleared and well under way. Mr. Surette, who has charge of the clearing and grading, is a hustler. We are expecting to hear the whistle before long.
