ment. II is true that the Law in Minnesota,
relative to the measurement Of logs, does not
bind the mill owners below, and It, istalsO
equally true that the log owners here, are not
compelled TO cut OF from the Measurement OF
their logs a. they are scaled here, to accomno-
date buyers below. Men who own largely in
legs will prefer to have their logs manufactured
into lumber here, unless prices rule enough
higher, down the river to compensate them for
the reduction in the scale. This, as prices now
range, cannot be hoped for. As the Saltwater
Democrat we'll says: ''All the work performed
on logs, boomage. rafting, running &c, must
be done according to the new scale, / e., ct
rate Of 20 per cent. higher than in former times,
and it is impossible for Us to have our current
expenses raised in that manner, and sell by the
old scale. especially at present prices. Besides
the additional re scaling below, formerly hardly
stated that logs have been sold this spring at
$500 per NJ; under the new arrangement they
would virtually be reduced to $50, price for
which none can possibly be run.
Under these circumstances our lumbermen
are obliged in self defence to refuse TO sell. IL
we can keep our logs up here until July, not
running q single raft. it would force our oppo
nents TO come up and buy here, which, under
the circumstances, 10 the only true policy under
which this trade can be carried on. The
arrangement of scaling below is also highly OBJ
jectionable. While we repose the most un.
limited confidence in the gentlemen who are
engaged in the trade at st. Louis, we are not
by any means equally satisfied as TO the integ
rity Of the petty mills scattered along the river
above that point, and the inexperience OF the
men they are likely to employ, will certainly
fail to result In favor OF those who SELL
