hereafter be run the year round,
both winter and summer, except
for a short time in the spring,
when the mill plant would be
overhauled and necessary repairs
made. This proposition, how
ever, was discouraged, when
Thomas II. Shevlin, president cf
the company, was here recently.
The company has had very
successful seasons saving, this
year. It has not been necessary
to shut the mill down at any
time, either on account OF break
ages or shortage of ssraw
material logs. There have
been no accidents to any of the

the saws is really an exceptional

was no better than they were at
the moment. His break was
| most unfortunate and I found it
necessary to dismiss him from
the service, bright though he
was.
"The lumberjacks are men and
they want to be treated as such.
! They are brave, too, and most of
them have desire to be good,
if you only reach them and kindle
that fire.
"The work has been very sue
cessful in Minnesota, however.
Every year sees an improvement
in the men and more of them are
persuaded to lead better lives.
"They appreciate the efforts of
the missionaries in their behalf
and I only wish that the mem-
/ bers of the churches all over the
country who contribute the
papers and magazines for dis
tribution in the lumber camps
could see how they are appre-
ciated there"

long ago from the numbering
camps of Oregon and Washing

another preacher there and that
! in the spring, when the seasons
work is over here, he is going
west with his workers and
preach the gospel to the lum ber
jacks of the Pacific slope.
Mr.. Higgins is a rugged, force
full man, known by all the lum-
berjacks and Indians throughout
this part of the state and liked
by all of them. He has had
many interesting experiences
during his long service in the
northland country. He has
travelled with dog teams, behind
horses and even walked, to carry
out his mission.

arrangements for the launching

''The man of stern clerical ap.
pearance, who is accustomed to
preaching high-sounding ser.
nous in the cities, has no place
administering the gospel to the
lumberjack.
"The woodsmen do not take
kindly to the city preachers,
clothed in black, nor can they
understand them. The lumber
jack has his peculiarities as does
everyone else and those peculiar
tiles must not be ignored if one
wants to make a success of
religious work among them.
''They respect you and they
will listen to your arguments in
favor of sobriety and good, clean
Christian lives, but you must not
keep them on straight diet of
religious topics all the time you
talk to them. You must give
them religion along with other
things and the man who can do
that successfully, who can gain
the good will of the men among
whom he works, can be most
successful in making them see a
way out Of that darkness which
envelopes great number.
