Raftsman's Journal. (Clearfield, Pa.) February 17, 1858
John H. Shryock and James Johnston. Jr., of Indiana, and S. S. Jamison, of
Saltsburg, have obtained a large contract to furnish the Government with mules,
wagons and wagon-beds, to be used for transporting supplies for the Utah expedition.
The wagons and wagon-beds will be manufactured in the Borough of Indiana, and will
require considerable lumber, and give employment to a large
number of mechanics. The contractors also wish to employ 100 young men to go to Salt
Lake as teamsters, to whom liberal wages will be paid by Russell, Majors & Waddle,
who have transportation contracts for four years.
