he works. One warm day he was en-
ployed to clean up a furnace room

to habit, poisoned the hair, and in a

Wages paid laborers in the woods
this winter are high and men are
scarce and unwilling to work, The
season bids fair to be rather bad for
loggers in the latter respect, and they
fear repetition of the difficulties of
two and three years ago, when it was

on hand to keep a camp going stead

S26 to $50 a month against an aver
age OF S22 in past years and s24 a
year ago. Teamsters will get from
$50 to $50, the latter for good four
horse men. Leaders will have from
$40 to $40, with an occasional man
receiving still better pay. These
wages are all in addition TO
board, which is furnished in all cases
and is of the best.
