A friend writing from an outside point . ,. .,.., ,1 ..
sands this boquet to the Mail:
Your paper looks hotter all the time
and I think your businesslike views con
cerning tho rival town aro Just the thing.
Yon take tho right position.
Your town has had lots of freeadvertis.
ing, and I am confident that tho Mail
is in a largo measuro responfeihlo for it.
In fact I noticed that many say it mujt
bos live place to support a daily paper
Tbo truth is, nothing gives a town rank
among tho outside world liko tho fact'
that it has a daily newspaper. After
that is an established fact peoplo begin
to remember the nace. and if Is classed
as tomcthing raoro than a country town,
lmproying Porter Mill
A largo force ot men aro at work on
Porter milt putting it in readiness for
active m&tk, nau it is uciuk tuuijucivu
as rapidly as men can do the work.
New eills are being placed in tho struc-
ture throughout. New floors and plank-
ing and a general ovorbaulicg h'ch
will cost many thousand dollarB is under
way. A. new iron corrugated roof ot the
very best make is boing placed on
tho
entiro bnilding, and all tbo cottages nro
being raleed and fitted for tho families.
Some new piling will also bo put in.
VORK BEING PUSHED
ON THE BELT LINEj
D. W. Small, the contractor on tho
Belt Line railroad has 10 teams oud
about 23 men on the works, having cut
his ere w'down some since the bad wcath
commenced.
The work is prosecuted whenever tho.
weather will permit, and Mr. Small will
keep hie own ten teams at work right
through, though some of the hired teams
may bo taken off until bitter weather,
when tbo force will again ba increasod.
. Any report that Mr. Small has i"ehut
down" or that his men havo bad any
trouble in gcttiup their money is entire
ly erroneous. The men get their cae.li
on pay day, the 20th of each month, and
eome of them get it before. Tho men
nro comfortably housed at tho old
slaughterhouse, and if they are not well
fed their looks belie them,
Mr, Small's contract ezlends from
tho Stavemill to Pony dough, including
all the heavy grading botween Marsh
field and Empire, Tho deepest cut Is 30
feet, and the work now being done is on
he heavy cuts and fills.
Mr. Small cnu6iuera that over ono
third of hta work is dono, and ho will
comploto. tho contract well within-the
time allowed, until next Juno.
