That Is their prospect In life. It is hard (In some of Its aspects), and we dislike to admit It, but It Is the truth.

Now since taking Cascarete Candy Cathar­ tic I feel very much better. I shall cer­ tainly recommend them to my friends as the best medicine I hare ever seen.” Anns Bazinet, Osborn M ill No. a, Fall River, Mass Marshfield.— M. F. Logan, the gen­ eral superintendent o f the George W. Moore Lumber company at Bandon, passed through here on his way to Chi­ cago. Mr. Logan has juBt completed his work on the company’s new mill and will take a vacation o f several weeks. The new plant has just been started. The old mill was destroyed by fire in August, 1909. Mr. Logan was superintendent at that time and remained with the com­ pany, and with the assistance o f George W. Moore, o f Port Huron, Mich., the president o f the company, he designed the new mill. The new plant is second to none on the Coast as to modern equipment and convenience of arrangement, and the machinery is all first class. The equipment arrangement is a great economy o f labor and time, and three men can operate the entire work of the resaw, handling an average of better than 30,000 feet o f lumber a day. The building is so constructed that it is fireproof throughout. There is arranged a standard fire protection sys­ tem, with a tank holding 50,000 gal­ lons o f salt water, and there is also a sprinkling system to use fresh water. The plant started out at once manu­ facturing 80,000 feet o f lumber a day. The capacity w ill be increased at once to 125,000 feet a day. The steamers Bandon and Fifield are engaged in car­ rying the output o f the mill to San Francisco. L IV E S T O C K FAIR IN FALL.

A few weeks ago there was talk o f dissolving the association and disposing o f its large holdings on the east side known as the country club, but the talk has resulted in a stronger organ ization, with a more ambitious pur­ pose than ever. E. L . Thompson, who was one of the committee to raise the guaratee fund, stated that the forthcoming race meet w ill be something that w ill draw perhaps fully as many people as the Rose Festival, especially with the live stock thrown in fo r good measure. “ W e w ill have some o f the best horses in the country and there w ill be other attractions that w ill be bound to draw and please.
