pressing disappointment at the noder-
alton with which the spring thaw is
there viii be a late drive,
and probably NJ very ligh stage OF
water. 1t does not appear fkely that
the customary freshet will set in be-
fore the first Of May, thus making the
manufacturing season one month short
If time calculated upon. In the upper
Chippewa and Eau Claire pinelies.
there is still an average of two feet
of packed snow, which is thawing
with exasperating deliberateness. Six
hundred million feet of logs are bank
ed on the Chippewa and its tributa

water, ard the camps all over north
ern Wisconsin are at q stand still,
waiting for a movement in the river.
Last year, there was no surplus Of
logs at the mills. and they will all be
compelled to wait until the drives
come down. The effect on the market
IS slight advance.
