Duluth, Mimi, March 24.-The weather
has been very soft for a week or two. and
general fear has been expressed that it
has been too early for lumbermen. But
this is to a great extent unfounded.
Many loggers nave shipped in their crews.
but this has been because they were
through work. When necessary they con-
tinue to haul. This is done with some
difficulty. but with care the roads are
preserved intact. ~. -. -. Z
AS q matter of fact, in this district ct
least, what lumbermen do not put in dur
ing the winter they will get to the mills
In the summer, SO the continuance OF
cold weather cuts very little figure. On
the upper Mississippi, where long sleigh
hauls to water are more common, the
curtailment of the hauling season" is a
matter of far more Importance than here
abouts Speaking generally, the work OF
the winter Is about over, and lulmbermen
we'll satisfied with results, though
costs have been high on account OF deep
SHOWS, etc. 80. va,.> - - -,
A good many buyers are now figuring
on stock both Of lumber shingles and
lath, and some sales are closed. with
many more closing soon. Representatives
Of buying interests have been here Of late
and local shipping firms have been looking
over stocks rather closely
Tie. pole, pulp and cordNood makers
are about through for the winter and
are coming in very fast They have been
hindered more by the unusual weather
conditions than have the white pine lum-
bcrmen for they carry on class of work
that requires more getting about through
the woods. and more Of a haul. The pulp
wood product Of the winter is larger than
was expected early, and shipments east
and south have been very heavy all sea-
son and will be heavier still when the
season Of navigation begin.
An immense quantity of cordWood has
been brought into all the towns Of this
region, and the consumption has been
double that of any preceding year on ac-
count of the scarcity and high price OF
coal Tie and cedar lumbermen down the
north shore have made big winter OF
it, and are still busy. They will be so fol-
some little time. for the snow is deeper
some distance down than nearer the
towns. A larger quantity than ever OF
cedar products will be shipped from here
this year. --. -, -.
Canada is coming into the Lake Super
Tor country for pulpwood to a grea ter ant
greater extent annually, and will this
season take probably 10000 cords from this
rgion, mostly from north shore streams
from Nepigon easterly. 800.

"a WATERLEss TOWN"
PerpIexing Situation Of the New Town OF

- NushWauk. :.-''' -.
NUSHWAUK. MINIMIZING people Nv
ing here are at their wits end. This is
a town about FIVE months old; having been
started last fall on account Of the opening
of several mines close by. It is the most
westerly settlement on the Mesaba range,
and is located in sections 31-57-22, thir'
teen miles southwest OF Hibbing. 1t has
some 400 people and almost: as many sa-
looms. - -" ~.
The immediate future of -Nushwauk is
looked upon as presenting the grave prob
lem Of a Waterless town. BY some fatal
error the toHnsite proprietors did not To-
cate their village near any wa.tercourse or
source of supply, and all winter water for
all purposes has been brought from q
spring three miles distant. Now the
breakup is on and the roads. bad enough
at best. are becoming impossible. and
what is to be done until it Is possible to
haul water within some rea sonable limit
Of cost is what is troubling the, people.
What water is to be had on the townsite
is unsafe even for washing, and an epi-
demic of zymotic disease is almost GER
tain.
The little village feels SO seriously this
problem that it has already voted to bond
itself for $4,000 for water system, but 1T
will be some time before the work can
be carried out A bond of that sum is $50

roads, no schools. no railway train serv-
ice and no protection against fire. Nush-
