getting into Wausau.

smallpox in a mild form. The house
was Immediately placed under quaran-

Hardly a week passes but what log
| gers come to the city in search of men.
In some instances few are secured but
in most cases they go away without
being successful in their quest 1t is
said that most loggers this winter have
| three crews-one at work, one leaving
the camp and another on the way TO
the camp. 1t is hard to keep men. The
snow is said to be four feet deep up
north and there is such a demand for
labor all over the country that rlen can
find more congenial work elsewhere
so that only the most alluriEg wages
will hold them.
