THE CANADA LUMBERMAN. 6 The Midland Free Press says there is not quarter enough dock room for handling the lumber that is arriving at that place for re shipping by rail. The Montreal Star says :â" An immense raft containing 400,000 feet of lumber, princi pally pine and oak, arrived off the city on Saturday night from Calvin & Son's lumber depot at Garden island, near Kingston, The agent, Mr. Guerin, and the thirty men em ployed on the raft, are staying at the London house. The journey was a very quick one, the distance being covered in four days. At every rapid different men are utilized ; the Coteau rapid is considered the most difficult one, especially with a high wind. Last year the firm sent about 8,000,000 feet of lumber in 16 rafts. The other lumber company on the river is the Collinsby company. Although the journey is difficult and dangerous not a man has been loBt for five ; Mk. Prince, manager of Eau Claire Lumber Company, arrived in Calgary, N. W. T., last Sunday, says the Tribune, and has already begun preparations for building a mill 32x100, with a capacity of 50,000 feet of lumber, 15,000 shingles and 15,000 feet of lath per day. The site is on the Bow river, near the corner of section 16. A dam about 15 rods in length will be thrown across the arm of the river between the main land and an island in the river. A wing dam about fifty rods in length will be constructed along the island to prevent the logs stranding. Mr. Price expects 11 have the mill ready about the middle of October. A gang ot men have been sent to the mountains to take out timber, etc , which will be brought down by train. About 50 men will be employed and Mr Prince expects to be able to supply the Calgary market with lumber and wood at right prices. Walnut in Biitish Columbia.
