the water in the river Is lower. SO the logs can
be RATED. The mill of the Lake Superior Lum-
Der company has also closed.
For the first time in the history of the road,
the Minneapolis, St. Paul & Ashland logging
line has been forced to suspend operations on
account Of the continued wet weather. The
rain has undermined its tracks for miles. The
Barker g. Stewart mill, at Ashland, is wholly
dependent upon this logging railroad for its
supply Of logs, and 1t was thought 1t would
have to close for the season for lack OF logs.
The Stearns Lumber company Of Odanah had
some logs at the mouth of Bad river which it
was anxious to have sawed this season. and in
tended having them cut at Washburn. When
it found it could Barker & Stewart to

and until the close of the season the Barker > &
Stewart mill will on logs belonging to the
Stearns company.
One part of the logging industry which the
wet weather is not having such an effect upon
is the hardwood industry. Most of the hard
wood is upon the ridges, and the loggers, altho
suffering much discomfort, have not suspended
operations. One of the largest hardwood logging
concerns in northern Wisconsin Is the Roddis
Lumber & Veneer company of Park Falls and
N[arshfeld. 1t has five logging camps in the
vicinity Of Butternut. Ashland county, and In

posed of the logs.

have held considerable money.
Doran was credited with having laid by some
savings but very little was found at his death.
His daughter, Mrs. Davis, made a thoro search
of the house at the time, but nothing could be
discovered.
