"BUSH FIRES - KENT JUNCTION IN ASHES.

Kent Junction was visited by a disastrous conflagration, caused by bush fires on Monday afternoon about four o'clock. The station building, freight shed and station master's residence, and the residences of John Power, Robt. Legoof, and Robt. J. MORTON's hotel, two barns, one box car and one car of coal were devoured by the destroying element. The air was so thick with smoke and cinders from the forest fires that it was impossible to see fifty yards, the station house being burned to the ground before the people in the nearest house, but a few yards off, knew it was on fire. Nothing was saved, the inhabitants barely escaping with their lives to a bog near the station. The station master, MR. J.W. MORTON, was unable even to transfer the contents of the cash drawer to the safe. The fire shut off telegraph communication until 9:30 next morning.

Miller's bark priviledges on Bass River have been all destroyed, also their camp and priviledge at Acadieville.

Robert Bryant's house and barn on the Harley Road were destroyed by fire on Sunday, also a large quantity of I.C.R. ties.

DALHOUSIE, March 14 – . . . The hotel business is getting a little brisker than it has been, and they deserve it too, for the Dalhousie Hotels, are a credit to the North Shore.

It is conveniently situated for commercial travelers and business men and all classes are well taken care of. Besides its mills and hotels Dalhousie has many natural advantages, it has one of the finest harbors in Canada, a delightful climate and is surrounded by some of the most picturesque scenery in the Dominion.

The may friends of Mrs. Wm. McIntyre will be glad to hear that she is rapidly recovering after having been sick for nearly six months. [McIntyre again. Should check Census 1891 to see if there is a Wm McIntyre showing as Hotel Keeper too, as it could be a different person!]

LUMBERING IN NEWFOUNDLAND – A KENT COUNTY MAN ON TOP: C.C. CARLYLE was a few days ago, in receipt of a letter from a prominent gentleman of St. Johns, Nfld., informing him that an order in council would be passed at next meeting o f the Government granting him a franchise of 500 square miles of lumber land on St. Michael’s Bay, Labrador. The grant extends round the bay and up along the Gilbert River for 75 miles. It is said by those in a position to know to contain the best lumber on the Labrador coast. The major part of the lumber is white spruce although a large quantity of pine is found on the Gilbert River. The trees grow very tall and carry their size well up. They range from those that will show a top of ten inches at 45 feet to trees of 80 feet long and 14 inches at the top.
There is several hundred of millions of this lumber in plain sight from the banks of the bay and the rivers flowing into it.
There is an excellent harbor that opens each spring about the middle of Feb. and is not closed till the first week of December. Capt. Geo- Taylor who lived there for sixteen years says he never saw the glass but twice lower than ten below zero.
The lumber is found in bunches on the valleys and in some places the valleys are from half a mile to five miles wide and studded with fine trees.
Labrador is becoming one of the greatest of lumber countries and no fewer than five large companies are now formed with capitals ranging from $50,000.00 to $1,000,000.00
St. Michaels Bay is 100 miles north of Belle Isle. A number of the timber companies are located at Hamilton Inlet some 200 to 250 miles further north.
As soon as the grant is issued Mr. CARLYLE will proceed to arrange a company to operate the privilege.
As there are now several mills going up on the Labrador territory and some of the leading lumberman both. The States and Canada are interested it is to be hoped that the moneyed men of Kent will look carefully into the matter before allowing the privilege to pass to other hands. Mr. CARLYLE looks for a return of from fifty to one hundred percent per annum on the capital invested.
