ton to cut large amount of logs was
great, In spite of the assurance, before
the season began, that there would be
reduction of at least 40 per cent for
the season of 1904. Logging roads,
once built, remained in excellent con-
d1tfon throughout the winter and the
expense OF renewing them was practi-
cally nothing. Aside from that, there
were few days during which the men
were forced to remain indoors and they
got in practically full time throughout
the season.
1t was given out before logging be-
gan that there was already a large
stock on hand at the mills and for that
reason the loggers would employ only
small force throughout the winter. in
order to avoid an overproduction. This
information was passed along to the
lumberjacks, with the result that thew
eagerly snapped up the places, at any
wages that were offered. One year ago
the men were paid from $50 to $35 a
month. This season they have worked
Tor from $25 to $50, with an average
of about $28. The longer season win
about make up for the loss in wages
so that they are coming to the CITY
with about the same amounts they
formerly had.
The Duluth logging district includes
all of the territory tributary to the
st. Louis and CIoquet rivers and the
country along the iron range roads.

Aside from that, many Of the logs cut

least four mills have been built near

In the form of lumber, instead of be-

Marais is the first to be built in Cook
county. Aside from that there is a

vicinity of Tower.
Cutting in Other Districts.
Activity in the cutting of logs has
not been confined alone to the Duluth
district, so-called, as aside from the
cutting of 125,000,00O in the Cook coun-
try district, and there will be possibly
a total of 175,0O0,O00 feet for the Hib-
bling district. The logs which were
cut principally by the Swan River
Logging company and Powers & Simp-
son, will be RATED down the Mississippi
river to be cut at Southern Minnesota
points. Then there is the cutting of
the immense pine preserve on the Cass
Lake Indian reservation and in the
vicinity OF Grand Rapids, all of which
will be sent down the Mississippi. The
government recently sold 100000, 900
feet at Cass Lake, but owing to the

local butchers, although ten other con-
Germs do business more modestly In the
wholesale meat line. Very few car
casses of beeves and calves and sheep
and swine are brought in by farmers
from the country round about, and are
sold to local commission men In Third
street; or, more generally, are dispos-
ed of at the city market, Tenth and
Jackson streets. Still fewer are the
live animals sold here to be slaughtered
at the st. Paul "abattoirs."
Turning to the happy theme of poul-
try, we are informed that the Ramsey
county rendezvous of chickens passed
beyond is st. PauPs Water street. the
which is Third street east. Here
along the three blocks between Robert
street and Wabasha, are clustered
some two dozen brothers in met pro-
ceeds"-fve followers of the new

from fruit alone; eleven dealers in

Poultry lie Shipped In.
Poultry then, which usually Is dress

TO the commission houses along Third

railway stations. Most Of it is shipped
In" by lovers Of the kindly hen at
places 100 to 200 miles distant in Min
nesota, Iowa or Wisconsin. A fraction
OF the supply is brought with wagons
by farmers who sell to the commits
sion houses directly, or to the public
and commission houses at the Jackson
street market. In re chickens, as in re

other produce, to use the court house
dialect, farmers sell much more from
wagon to market than from wagon to
commission house.
Were 1t possible the reader would
now be charmed with becoming statis-
tics, with the number of tens Of thou
sands of ROSTERS and hens and of mere
chickens, the multitude OF poultry in
round numbers, and with or without
feathers, that wing their way, figur-
atively, each average year from Third
street east and from the Jackson mar
ket. But nobody knows all this ex-
cept the chickens. Even the special
medium of commission thought, organ
lied and authorized, said yesterday that
he would like to know these things
himself. The local census Of dead peuF-
try, he observed, would remain q prize
for rising mathematicians.
Then there are eggs. How many. eggs
does St. Paul eat each year? The
G b e will not reveal. But it doesn't
mind admitting a curious fact In nat
ural history, that eggs will travel much
farther than chickens. The preliminary
fowl does journey, indeed, from South
Dakota to st. Paul, from Iowa. and
even from Missouri, according to the
hypnotism of the local market.
Eggs Are Amusing.
Eggs afford much amusement to
produce and general commission men.
They will sometimes sit up half the
night examining the fruit" with an
electric light, to see If they can find a
minute chicken. And the more they
find the less they're satisfied.

In this latter district it is expected

With 800 or more in his pockets he

he spends his cash accordingly. Beer

is the accepted theory that the sooner

the better for him. Sometimes he even
assents to that solution of the problem
himself.
In the woods, however, the men are

Some of the merchants have already

woods and have sold a number of
watches or suits of clothes, to be de-

town. They get a check from the log

goods. Some Of the local firms which
do business in that way give legfti-

the city with a seasons earnings in
their pockets. 1t is estimated that this
year they will have $225,0OO to spend
and they will put most of 1t in circu-

The lumberjack, be he at work or
idle, is considered the legitimate prey
for a certain class of wandering sales

him exorbitant prices for shoddy wares.
No lumber camp, no matter how re-

too far for these fellows to visit in
winter, and their profits are sufficient
to justify the trips they make. Usually
the logging company by which the
men are employed, starts a store where
the men may buy the ordinary neces-
