The Marquette Mining Journal
states that Peter McRae, who
figured on putting in nine million
feet Of pine on the Big Huron river
in Baraga county, and who had two
camps located, has pIlled up stakes
and discontinued operations. He
will not log this season. The Hines
Lumber company is logging on the
same stream, about twelve miles
from its mouth, and will put in some
ten million feet of logs. This, with
Mr. McRae's cut, would doubtless
block the stream, and mean the
hanging up OF large amount OF the

TO cease work for this season.

contract and exchange sections

an excellent plan for securing the

that these libraries are kept right
up to date, old books being removed
and replaced with the latest publi-
cations, and he hopes to see one OF
these libraries located here within
short time. DIR. Zellen will act as
local librarian, should one be locat-
ed bere.
