Walsh has leased the old cannery at the end of Third avenue, Van- couver, and fitted it up with the latest machinery, as a sash and door factory. Adrian Papineau, of Papineau Bros., sawmill owners. Fort Alexander, Man., was straightening a log in the skidway recently, when slipping, an 18-foot log struck and killed him. A large sawmill may be elected at Harrison Lake, on the C.P.R., or at Yancouver, as a result of the recent purchase by C. S.

O'Brien Company have awarded contracts for building a short railway from salt water at Stillwater Bay to Gordon Pasha Lake. B.C.. through a heavilv timbered fir country.

E. J. Fader, of New Westminster, has begun the manufacture of an im- proved logging apliance which will be operated by a donkev engine. The im- provement consists of an endless cable revolving on a double' drum and wrapped a sufficient number of times to prevent slipping. The inventor claims that by the use of this machine logs can be hauled from any part of the woods and even from the top of a mountain. The endless cable does away with the haul- back and is expected to be a boon to loggers in other ways.
