CONDITIONS m rm

L. F. Chapman. superintendent
for the G. H. Worcester company,
one Of the largest cedar operators 10
the upper peninsula, recently dis
cussed conditions in the lumber in
dustry and in the lumber regions OF
the upper peninsula. He said, in
effect that the industry has entered
on period of greatly curtailed
operations, lower wages for the men
and probably lower prices for the
product.
"The lumber operators have seen
the present conditions coming for
months. They we're first presaged
by falling of in the demand for
cedar poles. The big consumers, the
telegraph and railread companies,
greatly curtailed their buying early
in the year. when they found they
could not get money on advantage
o1s terms.
"The pole market has now been
fat for several months, and COM
paratively few poles have been ship
ped out this season. With the exist
ing financial conditions and pros
poets of light demand for another
season there is small inducement for
cedar operators to continue cutting
while such large stock remains un-
shipped. The lumber market soften
ed after the pole market, and since
then the slackening of demand has
extended TO all lumber products,
with consequence of prospective
lower prices when stocks begin to
move.
Although we could just now use
a few more cedar cutters at our
camps, the labor situation has solved
itself, for the first time in some
y .ars," Mr.. Chapman said. 1--WE
are now having no difficulty getting
all the experienced woodsmen we
need at $26. Formerly we paid as
high as $35, and even $40. And the
higher wages went, the less we got
out OF the men. When the cut was
announced recently it was astonish-
ing to note the effect it had. As soon
as the men thoroughly absorbed the
situation and realized that there
were going to be more men than
jobs in the lumber woods this win
ter, all nonsense ceased. They took
hold like good fellows. In one in
stance a job of skidding that had
been thoroughly estimated as a
weeks work was cleaned up in a
day and half. by gang Of our $26
men. That tells the whole story. y

will no doubt be grieved to learn
that owing to i'll health and a broken

to give up his school work at the

During the past few months his
condition has become alarming to

is hoped. however, that his hom,

again renew his health nd strength.
A report made by the officials of
the South Shore depot located at
this village shows that something
over three hundred deer carcasses
were shipped to other points from
this station during the hunting sea.
son. This, combined with shipments
made from other points along the
road within the county, would easily
within few years reduce the deer
in Baraga county to such q small
number that the people of the county
will have to be placed on the ten
year waiting list. until the forest
could be restocked with this class of
game. The worst feature OF the
game laws as they now stand is in
the permitting of hunters to pur-
chase licenses in the county in which
they reside and then hunt in another.
Baraga county seems TO be the
mecca for sportsmen from all coun-
ties in the peninsula, to say nothing
OF the lower Michigan hunters who
swarm to it every year. In Hough-
ton county alone the sale OF deer
licenses ran up into the thousands as
did many other counties. A report
of the sale of licenses made by the
county clerk Of Baraga county shows
less than four hundred, and still,
Notwithstanding, there was conced-
ed to be in the Arvon district
alone over one thousand hunters.
Baraga county people are compelled
to stand by and protect the game
throughout the year, farmers to
suffer loss to crops and lumbermen
subjected to the suspension OF oper.
ations during the season, and as a
whole receive little or no remunera
tion whatever. As an example, on
the Saturday preceding the opening
Oftbehuntipg season, a crew Of hun
tiers, one hundred and twenty-five
10 number, stopped off in L'Ausa
from one train. Not one of the en-.
tire outfit is reported having as
much as purchased package OF
Peerless in the county during the
time they remained within it. The
condition of affairs need little re-
adjusting, and we feel il nigh time
that something be done in the mat
ter.
