+. Dealers in logging camp supplies report
business in that line as being 80 per cent
better than during last season, which fur
nishes evidence to the fact that the log
cut. this year is TO be Il heavy one. 1t

over what they have been previously of
fered is an alluremcnt which they cannot

AT this time, aud the woods are full of
skidded logs. The open winter has been
d serious drawback to the logging indus
