business in that line as being 30 per cent
better thas during last season, which fur
nishes evidence to the fact that the log
cut this year is to be Il heavy one. 1t

are kept up to the required quota. for
men who may have already hired to &c in
to the woods are in many instances APP
preached by others in quest of laborers,
and an advance if So or more per month
over what they have been previously Of
fered is an allurement which they cannot
well resist. There are no unemployed

kit can obtain a job putting i'll logs. Ii

skidded logs. The open winter has been
serious drawback to the logging indus
try.
