The cutting season with the sawmills
| in La Crosse and along the Black river
| has closed unusually early this year, not
owing to dizziness in the lumber trade, but
on account of the inability to get the logs
! downs the river. The stage of water in
| the Mississippi, Black and Chippewa riv-
ers and their tributaries has averaged
| lower this season than ever before, and
| there have been none of those periodical
| rises from time to time that have in former
years tided over the summer. The La
| Crosse Lumber Company was unable to
get more than 10000 feet of it's 10000
600 down the river and shut down some
! months ago. G. l.. Colman's mill shut
| down some time ago. The G.. III. Nichols
| Lumber Company was the last Of the big
| mills to shut down, and they only got their
| logs down to their mill during the last few
weeks of their run by shaking them over
| sandbars near the mill. The cut for 1893
will fall far behind the cut of former
years.
