The Chequamegon Bay Saving Sea
son Will Be a Busy and
Profitable One.
So Much to Do That Owners Cannot
Wait for the Ice to Dis
appear.
Special to The Journal.

Ashland, Wis, April ia busy sea-
son lies before the numerous mills on
CheQuamegoa bay. Some have already be-
gun work, despite the fact that the ice is
still in the bay. Usually the mills never
begin operations until the ice is gone:
but this season is exceptional.
The Barker & Stewart mill began day
and night operations several weeks since
and has had but little difficulty in getting
logs into the mill. The example set by
this company caused several other mills
to start, and to-day the Ashland Lumber
company and Murray Lumber company
steamed their boilers and commenced saw
ing. Next Monday the East End Lum ber
company and the Keystone mill will start.
The Schroeder & Mowatt mill will begin
about Tuesday.
The Bigelow mill at Washburn, which
is owned and operated byS the Edward
Hines Lumber company, began operations
to-day. The Barker & Stewart mill OF
this city and the Cook mill, also others in
this vicinity, will saw all season for the
Hines company. The Murray, Ashland
Lumber company plant, East End MILL
Schroeder and one or two of the smaller
mills will operate on company stock, OF
which they all have an excellent supply.
All of the mills will operate day and night
, except the MoWatt Lumber company. AL
Of the planning mills have begun work.
''The Ashland mills will have busy sea-
sons.' said F. p. Nester, head Of the
Nester estate. "All Of the logs which the
East End mill will cut this season will
be towed across Lake Superior from the
north shore. Our cut will be about 60,000,-
900 feet, and most of these logs are ir
the water being RATED. In few days
our tugs will begin towing and 1t is ex-
pected that some record breaking RATS
will be hauled across Superior.
"All Of the logs at the Schroeder Lurn
Der company's mill will aso be towet
across the lake from the north shore. The
company has large timber holdings in Lake
and st. Louis counties in Minnesota ant
has sufficient timber to keep its mill II
operation for years.
| The Murray mill will saw stock for w
II. Gilbert. Most of this timber was GU
in Douglas and Bayfield, counties and rail
roaded to this city.
The keystone Lumber company will re
ceive it's logs from Bark bay, where i
owns a great deal of timber.
F. 8. Robbins of Rhinelander, who ha
been logging in this region for severa
years for the Rittenhause & Embree Lum

Knew the Pulse.

Old Doc Burns had been a valued
citizen of little western town, but
had lost his prestige through an ex-
treme weakness for whisky.
He was first-class doctor when he
was sober. but he was so seldom in
that condition that he couldn't be
trusted with the chills. One day a
man was taken suddenly i'll, and as
the only other doctor in town had
gone to the country to see a patient,
hurry call was sent for Doc Burns
He arrived, drunk, as usual, but as
suming a professional air, he began
an examination. In trying to find the
patients pulse he got hold of his own
hand. which was lying on the edge of
the bed. The moment his fingers
touched the pulse he exclaimed:

ness at times Some times thing
is done in a spirit of friendship and
good fellowship when the intended
kindness is harmful to the person who

is the case with many Of the people in

and the people Of the city are proud
Of the fact. No team of ball players
anywhere was ever more royalty treat

the local fans and it is in the
effort to make the players feel that
they are appreciated that some things
are done which ale an injury to the

night it seemed impossible for the
players to get away from the people

players had enough drinks in then

a bad effect on their playing in the
game this afternoon. 1t was not the
desire of the players to drink SO free

is unjust to the ball players, and for
