that agents of the company are scour
ing the country for men to operate the
big mill at Wendling, at the end of the
branch railroad which extends from
Springfield up the Mohawk valley 20
miles. The mill has been idle for nearly
two year. More men are also wanted
for the Coburg mill.
It is said that the Wendling mill will
resume operations between September 1
and October 1, and operate at its full
capacity. The company has just secured
750,000 with which to improve its sys
tem of sawmill in this county and it is

The resumption of operations at

of the other mills will create again the
prosperity which up to two years ago

years.
