DEVELOPMENT

Line 1.0.0Not that there was occasion to go from home
Line 1.0.1to hear news of a big industrial develop-
Line 1.0.2ment at Faulconbridge,' but since the said
Line 1.0.3news has been given a start away from home
Line 1.0.4it is of local interest to look into It. The
Line 1.0.5idea of any portion of the Blue Mountains
Line 1.0.6developing quickly into a great industrial
Line 1.0.7centre is more or less foreign to preconceived
Line 1.0.8idea of an extensive and world-famed plea-
Line 1.0.9sure resort; though it has, from time to time,

Line 2.0.0been advanced with a soundness of argument
Line 2.0.1that no valid reason ever did exist why the
Line 2.0.2Mountains should for all time have all Its
Line 2.0.3eggs in one basket. There are several possi-
Line 2.0.4bilities up here on the highlands, and indus-
Line 2.0.5trial development of all kinds will come about
Line 2.0.6as soon as the time Is ripe. Meanwhile, the
Line 2.0.7"big Industrial project at Faulconbridge" is
Line 2.0.8a pioneer in a double sense ; It will blaze the
Line 2.0.9track of industrial enterprise, and the more
Line 2.0.10active It becomes the quicker it will clear the
Line 2.0.11country for the settlement that will follow.
Line 2.0.12The news published during the past week in
Line 2.0.13one of the Sydney evening papers is to the
Line 2.0.14effect that the timber forests which lie in the
Line 2.0.15Grose Valley are to be exploited for use in
Line 2.0.16furniture making. We are told that in a very
Line 2.0.17short period mills will be turning out 2400
Line 2.0.18chair pieces every working hour, and that the
Line 2.0.19timbers are "the best in the world." The
Line 2.0.20latter statement is probably not correct, but
Line 2.0.21that is quite immaterial at present. The belt
Line 2.0.22of the forest, however, contains a variety of
Line 2.0.23first class timbers; a railroad has been laid
Line 2.0.24into the heart of it, and the mill works will
Line 2.0.25be adjacent to the railway station. Hereto-
Line 2.0.26fore, when rapid freetraders were running the
Line 2.0.27country politically it was the New South
Line 2.0.28Fix this textWales cry to import its chairs, and every
Line 2.0.29thing else it sat upon when it thought it was
Line 2.0.30tired. A newer political creed put on import
Line 2.0.31duty ol 30 per cent. on American chair parts,,
Line 2.0.32a fact which explains why "the big industrial
Line 2.0.33project at Faulconbridge" has been started.
