It is also worthy of note that the earliest industry in Haileybury was a sawmill. One of the factors which has hindered the develop- ment of the lumber industry up to the present lias been the distance that the T. & N. O. Railway line was from the water, making it neces- sary to team the sawn lumber from the mill to the railway, but this difficulty is nearly removed to-day, and will be completely removed by the fall of this year, as the Haileybury spur, now under construc- tion, connects directly with the waterfront. While it is not possible for any one to pose as a mind reader and say what Mr. C. A. Foster will do, it is only reasonable to expect that as Mr. Foster has labored night and day to get the spur built, and has said that he would have the mill running when the spur was built, it will not be long before the Haileybury sawmill will be running and turning out its full capa- city of lumber. It is a well-known fact that more than one big out- side concern has contemplated buying the mill when railway facilities were available. It will thus be seen that there are great openings for sawmills, pulpmills, planing mills, and woodenware manufacturers, so that lumbering may be relied upon as one of the great features of Haileybury's future.
