bottle. In searching for the bottle the
stamps were found and they tried to
sell them and finally disposed of them

The lumbermen are commencing to
go into the woods to begin the work
for the winter. They have not started
in large numbers yet but on nearly
every train there are men who can be
distinguished as woodsmen. The class
of men who go into the woods now are
very different from they were 20 years
ago, or even 10 years ago. Then they
always used to get drunk and fight all
the way into the camps They were
then as rule the cheaper class Of
Americans, but now the majority Of
men are French, and they are much
better behaved than the Americans
