LOGGING OPERATIONS ARE
WELL UNDER WAY HERE NOW

Copper country lumber operators
have their fall and winter work wei
under way IN the copper country at the
present time. Almost al OF the camps
which are 70 be conducted in this Sec
zion have been started and the process
Of cutting timber and preparing IL for
the time when il may be conveniently
hauled 10 some central place has COM
mcncoa. In recent years most OF the
timber which has been harvested in the
copper country has been cut In the
fan and early winter months. and the
winter work consists largely OF hauling
or skidding il TO some shipping point
or banking il upon the edge of some
stream so that il may De conveniently
handled when the spring thaws arrive.
This policy has been adopted this year,
and il may be safely said that a large
percentage OF the timber will be cut
before January 1.
The lumber operators have expert
enced little difficulty In securing good
mon this fall and the wages being paid
are no higher than usual Most of the
men FOR the lumber CAMPS have already
been recruited. and the forces will be
complete by the early part OF next
month.
II is not expected that the output
this year will be as large as that in
former years. despite the fact that the
prevailing prices are higher than usual.
The cut win consist largely of hem
lock and cedar for mine timber, and
railroad ties, a little white pine, and
some hardwood. Very little mine tim
Der was produced last year, but the
demand is better now, and it is expect
ed that the output will be larger. "A
decrease win probably be experienced
in the amount of cedar and hemlock

Mothers and Their Babies

AS a mother values her baby's life
she should guard against dirt ,an5
flies during the months of AuEsstaahE
September.
During these two months mothers
should when possible, nurse their
babies.
Milk and pure water are the only
two foods the average baby under
sixteen months should be given. 10
Is your milkman, his can, or his
wagon dirty? if so, beware Keep
the babies milk cool. Most babies
are fed too much and too often.
In very warm weather give less
mix and more water If baby gets
sick stop feeding milk and give watU
only. Battle the baby daily.
