The Sauntry Crew Quits Beoaus,
of a Reduction.


of a Reduction.
When work began at William Saun-
try's rafting grounds yesterday almost
the entire crew quit, because of a re-
ductiOn of % cents in wages. The an
nouneement was made a day or two
ago, and the men decided that they
would not work for less than they were
getting. The delay in work caused by
the crew quitting was of short duration,
and another crew was secured shortly
afterward at reduced wages. If the
present light demand for logs continues,
1t is highly probable that other loggers
will not only have to reduce the size of
their crews, but wages as well. The
prospect is everything but encouraging.
There do not seem to be a great many
men around the city out of work, but
this is largely owing to the fact that
many have gone to the farms TO work
during harvest and threShing.
In the game today between the Still
waters and the Little Falls team p.
yogel, of Minneapolis, will pitch for
the StlllwaterS. A large number of
sports came down from Little Falls, and
are so confident of the winning ability
of their team that they are anxious to
stake every cent they have. They found
number of takers yesterday, and con-
siderable money is up on the series of
games.
Nearly 100 of Stillwater's young folks

tofOre trains have been running SC that
Saltwater people could not well partici-
pate In these dances, but from now on
until the close of the season there will
be large crowds go out every Wednes-
day evening. Those who attended the
last party had an excellent time.
A reduction Of 100 men was made in
the boom crew yesterday, partly owing
to the hard times and partly owing TO
the low water in the lake and river. 1t
is estimated that there are about 80, 0OO,-
900 logs back, and the remaining crew
can easily handle them.
