Logging on the Upper Mississippi.
St. Paul Pioneer Press


The latest reports from the logging
camps along the tributaries of the upper
Mississippi indicate material change in
the programme of the lumbermen for the
winter. At the opening of the logging
season it was determined to make the cut
of logs not more than half of that for the
preceding year. and all arrangements were
made with this result in view, especially
in the employment of men and teams.
The beginning of the season also favored
the shortage. in the absence of any con
siderable snow fall; but the lack of snow
for shedding excited the ingenuity of the
lumbermen in another direction. The
travel on the logging road has opened ruts
or tracks from three to six inches in depth,
into which the water has gradually settled
and congealed, making them of the best
character imaginable for hauling With
this unexpected aid, teams are able to
haul all the logs which can be piled on
the sleds, and the conditions otherwise
for extensive and successful operations
have seldom been more favorable than
they are at the present time. Another
influence in insuring much larger cut of
logs than was designed at the beginning
of the season is the large number of men
seeking employment in the woods, no
lnconsiderahle portion of whom express a
willingness to work even for their board
until the opening of spring promises them
more remunerative employment
Gentlemen who arrived from the north
recently fully corporated the statements
above made, and, being asked the effects
of the exceptionally favorable season for
logging, replied that they would prove too
good for the business, and the lumbermen
would certainly find themselves with more
logs than they can use to advantage dur
ing the spring and summer. The deter
mination of the leading firms is still
present to limit the cnt, hut they may be
defeated in this purpose by small loggers
The present favorable conditions may he
mitigatcd by heavy snow falls, all pre-
vious experience having shown that good
bottom and little snow, such as has been
enjoyed during the past week, is most
favorable for logging operations. 1t is
predicted that the cut will Ec nearer $50,
C00,000 than 600, 900, 900, the limit that
has been fixed bv tie lumbcrmpn
