BAD for the I,,,mbermen.


Letters have been received from the North
west stating that there is no more winter there
than was on hand two months ago. while from
Maine and Canada comes the same story-no
snow. no cold, and no opportunity to haul
logs No snow is reported for seventy five
miles north OF Ottawa. 1t is said that there Is
a small quantity around Moosehead lake,
which per nits of a little work. With this
exception no logging is done, or can be done,
except "yarding,' which is carried on to a
limited extent in the East, but not at all in
the West. In favorable years the logging sea-
son usually begins at about the middle of No
yember, and continues through March to
about the beginning of April. In the latter
part of the season, however, work is apt to be
hindered by too great depth of snow. so that
the best part of the season is usually the three

the marshes passable and giving an opportuni-
ty for the beginning of work. The prospect
now is that even if snow comes there will not
be time to cut and haul the usual supply of
logs for the market, and upon the strength OF
this belief the largest dealers in Western lum
Der have made an advance of from 81 to IS
upon nearly all grades Still higher prices
are looked for in the spring.
