The favorable winter for the lum-
Der industry, about passed, has
brought about the completion Of the
contracts entered into by various
lumbermen of the county earlier
than expected, and consequently
camps are now breaking up, and the
employees are returning to town
and all working material being
placed in safe keeping until next
season. A number of men are daily
passing through this village and
will now seek employ oyment elsewhere
for the summer. On account of the
early arrival OF snow, the lumber
men we're able to get their work
done with greater rapidity than for
many seasons past, and state that
this season has been q profitable
one.
| Retail merchants are being warned
against the work OF bogus govern.
ment inspectors who claim to be
operating under the pure food law.
1t is said that men demand samples
of goods for examination, telling the
merchants they are officers. They
refuse to pay for the goods, saying
they have perfect right to take
them. When the samples are taken
that is the last the dealers hear from
them and they are out the value oi
goods taken. Merchants are advised
to demand evidence that men cllline
for samples are really officers, and
there appears to be belief that the
real officers are compelled to pay foI
stuff taken as they were before the
first OF the year.
