Last winter a.. T. Wheelock's
employment agency furnished
over ! 900 men to the various log.
ging camps around Bemidii and
there is perhaps no better author
lily on labor conditions than he.
He says there will be a demand
for at least 5000 men this winter
in the camps within IS miles Of
Bemidji. At least FIVE hundred
men are needed at once IN the
building Of roads and camps.
Basing his estimate upon last
winters work and the present
plans Of the loggers, Mr.. Wheel
ock makes the following estimate
Of the amount Of work to be done
around here this season: 7. B.
Walker, 2o0, 900, 900 feet, employ
ing 1000 men and operating 30
camps; Blakely 4 Farley, 100, O,oo0,-

cidad Halyorson & Richards, 25,-

feet, 300 men and four camps;
Carver Bros, 10000, 600 feet. 800
men, three camps. Then there are
anumber Of smaller contractors
who will log independently Of
for others.
Many Of these firms will in
whole or in part, make Benlidii
their headquarters this winter.
Wages promise to be as high as
last winter common laborers,
s24 to $50; teamsters, $50 TO 20;
leaders, $40; blacksmiths and
cooks, s4Oto $50. Wages at pres
.ent are 500 per month and board
for CANNON labor. and the de.
raand exceeds the supply about
five to one.
Allof the Mmbermen, from boss
to foreman, say that the result Of
election will largely determine the
amount Of the logging to be done
this winter. And they are all
praying for the reelection Of
Congressman Morris and repub-
.lican victory. The election Of free
traders like Truelsen would Ger.
tainly have a demoralizing effect
upon the numbering interests Of
