There is snow enough for sleighiny in
this vicinity, but not enough for work in
the woods, though some hauling has
been done. The present cold snap will
freeze brooks and swamps up SOLID so
that there will be no hindrance to lunl-
bering operations when we have more
snow.

A new steel hurdle, made in Boston,
