The Winnipeg Times says :—The St. Albert Mission authorities will get out 1,000 logs, about 100,000 feet of' lumber, from their limit at Egg Lake this winter to be worked up in the Sturgeon mill next summer. Mr. Mijeau, of St. Albert, is the contractor. A large belt was made in Lowell, Mass., this winter. It was of leather, 160 feet in length, 54 inches wide, three ply. It took the backs of 200 hides to make this belt, its weight is over a ton, and the cost over two thousand dollars. The belt was for Pillsbury, of Minneapolis, The total packing of salmon on all the rivers on the northwest coast of .America in 1882, amounted to 941,187 cases, each of which con- tained the equivalent of 48 pounds of canned fish, or at least double that amount of flesh fish, equal to about five million individual salmon of ten pounds each. The ship Portland, from Quebec to Greenock, laden with lumber, was abandoned by the crew November 16, and became a total wreck. The last seen of the crew was in a boat struggling against a wave toward a point where it seemed impossible to land. No tidings from 'them had been received up to a late date. Parties at Caribou, Maine, are gathering the cedar bark about the shingle mills and other places and ship it to Massachusetts, where it is manufactured into a coarse paper to be used under carpets to keep away moths and other insects. Here is an idea that may be valuable to owners of cedar in this vicinity. A large pile of lumber fell in D. J. Carroll's yard, New York city, November 24. One man, TVIarti
