OF the cut vary, but there is little ques-

will be conducted in the upper PENN.
sula this season and many hundreds
OF men will be employed Labor Is
none too plentiful. and it is likely that
wages will rule higher than the scale
that has ruled for two years past.
Another new logging railroad is
about to go into commission in the
district. More construction of this
Kind has been accomplished in the
peninsula this season than for num-
Der of years. This is largely due 10
the fact that most of the standing
timber still to be cut lies remote from
the streams suitable for log driving
The newest logging railroad Is that
built by the Ontonagon Lumber and
Cedar Company. 1t extends from the
village of Ontonagon. on the south
shore of Lake Superior, southwesterly
TO the Fire Steel river, a distance Of
6H miles. More mileage will be add
ed next summer. The company is cut
ting timber in the Fire Steel country,
and 1t has 200 men at work in two
camps there. Similar railroad lines
are being built by the Sawyer & Good
man Lumber Company in Iron and
Dickinson counties, by the Sagola
Lumber Company in Marquette county
and by Hebard & Sons of Philadelphia
in Baraga county.
The roadbed or the Vans Harbor
branch Of the 500 line has been com.
pleted. and already all but four miles
of this new railroad has been ironed.
The remainder of the steel is expected
shortly, and it is likely that the advent
of winter will find the entire line in
operation. The Vans Harbor branch
will be an important feeder for the
500 line. 1t opens the eastern portion
of Delta county, which has never be-
fore been provided with railroad ia
cilities. The line extends from Vans
Harbor, on Big Bay de Noquette, to
Cooks Mills, station on the 500 line
in Schoolcraft county. 1t traverses
a large tract of timber land owned
by the Vans Harbor Lumber Com
pany. and one Of its most important
functions will be the delivery of logs
