[Special Correspondence Canada Lumberman.] pDMUND Talbot, St. Cecilia, 7 miles from Lake Megan- tic, on the branch of the Quebec Central R. R., has a fine steam saw, shingle and planing mill. He has been somewhat handicapped until the opening of the railroad, but now is in a a position to ship direct from this mill. F. H. Boutin & Bros., Lake Megantic, Quebec, have just built a new steam circular mill, with shingle machine and planer. The Jenckes Machine Co., of Sherbrooke, supplied the machinery. They intend doing a large local trade, for which there has been an opening in the rapidly growing town of Lake Megantic and surrounding country. The Messrs. Boutin are young men, but have the necessary experience to make the business into which they have gone a success. Frank Dudley, Lake Megantic, Que., has a very finely equipped mill—two band saws with re-saw, with the latest modern appliances for handling lumber at small cost. He saws for the South American market principally, the product being shipped to Portland by rail. He also manufactures clap- boards extensively, for which he finds a ready sale in Boston and the Eastern States. Mr. Dudley also has a mill at Scotts- town, on the C. P. R., 20 miles from Megantic, equipped with two circular saws, re-saw, also clapboard machinery, in which he saws principally dimension lumber. Mr. Dudley's output from these mills this year is about 15 million ft. lumber and 1,200,000 clapboards. E. T. Keene & Co., Keene's Siding, Quebec, will have three steam saw mills sawing for them this winter, and will haul the sawn lumber to Megantic Station, where they have opened an extensive piling yard, from which they can ship at any time. They saw for the South American and Boston markets, and intend getting out this winter and spring ten to fifteen million f
