irew of men at work shoveling thi
snow from the remainder of the
roof, the work being finished by mi l
night.
The rain which fell yesterday, soak

JUNEAU LUMBER
MILLS GET BIG
FOREIGN ORDER
Given Contract for 5,000,000
Feet for Australian De
livery Direct.
An export contract for the delivery
of 5,000,000 ft-et of spruce lumber
during the coming season has been
entered into by Roy Rutherford, man
ager of the Juneau Lumber Mills,
according to information received
here today. The lumber Is for
Australian lumber importing firms
and will be shipped direct on schoon
ers loading at the mill docks hero.
The contract was signed at Seattle,
where Mr. Rutherford h is been since
last fall. It was known here sev
eral days ago that it had been of
fo d to the local mills, but at that
time no agreement was reached, al
though an inquiry was made as to
the feasibility of getting logs for
the cut. No trouble, it is stated, will
be experienced in securing all the
logs needed both for local and ex
port demands.
Early this season it w is announced
by Harold McQueen, acting manager
of the mill during Mr. Rutherford's!
absence, that the company had esti
mated its local demands at 2,000,00(1
fort and had placed orders for that
amount. This, with the Australian
contract, assures the mill a cut of
7.000.000 during the season, with.!
it is believed, a chance for addition
ill business if it can be handled. Mr 1
Rutherford estimate* that the cut |
will run about 1.250.000 feet per;
month on the basis of the present
orders.
The work of overhauling the mill!
has already bepn started. Some new
equipment will be added and re-1
placements made. Cutting will begin1
actively about May 1.
