GETTING OUT THE TIMBER.
Writer Tells Of Methods By Which
Wooosmsn Worked In Forests
In the Early UAyA

The woodsman went into the
camp in the fall to stay during til.
winter in earlier times, the fu.ili
ties OF getting out being limited
and in marked contrast to those of
later days when the pine regions
we're threaded with iron rails.
The woodsmen were fed we'll. SAYS

d"sood work plenty of"glub" was
required. The bill OF fare of an
average camp consisted OF pork
and beef. potatoes. beans. bread.
diied apple sauce. tea, molass.s
and occasionally cabbage, onions
and other vegetables.
The camps built. all hands were
set to work AT building roads
over which the logs we're to be
hauled from the timber in the vi.
c1nltv of the camp to the river and
cutting and skidding the logs. Tn.
m"dns "pcrandi was simple. Tho
choppers cut down the trees and
trimmed off the limbs. then the.
saw.Ncrs cut il into such lengths as
could he best handled IL, IA. IL o."
is feet, and the logs were haule,,
10y teams to some convenient poin,
on the road and skidded upin piles
ready for the sleiyhs when the
snow came. The effort was to ppY
as many logs skidded as possih!"
before the deep SHOWS came to in.

were loaded on wide sleighs and
hauled over ice roads to the rive.
where they were banked AMI

was stamped the name OF tb.
