The Lumber Sea son.

Clinton. Aug. 31.-A busy lumber sea-
son is drawing to a close. Notwith-
standing the fact that during the early
part of the season the lunbermen along
the Mississippi had grave doubts as to
whether or not the supply of white pine,
logs would be sufficient to carry them
thru the seasons cut, heavy rains in
the north decided the question favor
ably, The water, which had gone down
to an alarmingly low stage, rose sradu-
ally and the result Was an Increase in
1.-The supply of logs for the mills on the
upper river. Since the midsummer rise
1.-The water has continued at good
stage and the lunlbermen6 have no fears
but that they Will be able to keep their.
mills moving till the end OF the season
In Clinton the season has been fair
Fly good one, and altho the cut will not
equal that of former years, it will be.
about UP TO the average of recent ones.
Last year at the Lamb mills the cut
was 6e.0oo,ONo feet of lumber, 100000
| feet of lath and 9,240.00o feet of shingles.
According to present Indications these
figures will about represent the cut of
1900 at the three mills. The Lamb fleet
of rafters have had a busy season this
year and have been 50 successful in.
supplying logs for the Clinton mills
lSthat not a days suspension of business
WAS due to non-snpply. The mills
opened this year on April 4 and will
probably continue to run until Novem-
Der !. when they will shut down for the
winter months. During the year an ay
erage of 625 nan have been given daily
employment al the three mills.
The lumbeirlen of this vicinity have
enjoyed a brisk business this year and
indications point to a continuance of
the present state of affairs On the
whole the lumber season in the Missis-
l5sippi territory has been a very satisfae
tory and prosperous one.
