They operate two large camps on the Madawaska waters, driving their logs down to Long Lake to where their mill is situated. Their other camps are situ- ated on Big Opongo Lake, and as the water runs directly away from their mill, they were obliged to construct a railway branch from their mill a distance of about 15 miles. This line is operated all summer hauling logs from the Opongo Lake, where they are all boomed and towed down to the loading point, and dumped into Long Lake, where the mill is situated. Their head office is in Ottawa, where their manager, Mr. E. C. Whitney, re- sides. In full control of all logging opera- tions is Mr. Jas. McKinnon, whose long lum-.

Mr. Labelle, the book-keeper, has his headquarters in Whitney, where the mills are situated. Situated at Madawaska, a divisional point on the Canada Atlantic Railway, we come to another one of Mr. Booth's many branches, the Egan Estate Branch. This is the railway branch where five large camps are operated and all logs and timber are railed by the Can- ada Atlantic Railway (which by the way was built and owned by Mr. Booth also) to his mill at Ottawa. Several band saws are kept run- ning all winter after navigation is closed and logs are frozen in, giving employment to hun- dreds of men during the winter season. So closely is Mr. Booth in touch with his camps that a telephone is installed in No. 1 Camp, where his manager, Mr. W. G. Mc- Kay, makes his headquarters, and where he can communicate with him at any time. He also operates a large store and post office at Madawaska
