WOODSMAN IN TOWN
FROM HILL COUNTRY
Timber Expert of Saginaw and MANS
tee Lumber Company Says the
Northern Forest Lands
are Water Soaked.

Among the visitors in the city from
northern Arizona is August Lindstrom
OF Williams and strange as it may
seem he did not come to attend the
doings of the Shriners, though he hap
pened To come at tine same time. Nor
is il his fist visit for he has been here
several times on business. Just now he
is here to look after a bunch of horses
on pasture.
Mr.. Lindstorm Is the woods fore
man" for the Saginaw and Manistee
Lumber company of Williams and
what he don't know about a pine tree
standing on a hillside. one would have
to hunt for i'm book and ii is quite
likely he wouldn't find it then. Mr.
Lindstorm is a tree expert as he has
been in the lumber business, or rath-
or in the logging business for the last
thirty-five years, and has never lost
day He hasn't been i'm the woods ev-
erv day for sometimes business calls
him away as it did to Phoenix this
time. but he has been on the Job every
minute of that thirty-five years.
Only little over ten of the thirty
! five years. however. have been spent i'm
'
about i'm the forests of Michigan for
quarter of century and had
speaking acquaintance with all the big
| trees i'm that state that were worth
! knowing. He vas associated there
with w. +. DermOnt who knew him to
be the right sort so when Mr.. Der
mont came to Williams i'm 1900 and
started the Saginaw and Manistee COM
pany of which he is president. he
/ brought Mr. Linds- orm along He had
to have somebody to buy timber and
/ spot out the trees that Eeeded cutting
and he figured that Mr.. Lindstorm had
been born into the world especially for
that job. His subsequent good service.
while quite to the credit of Mr.. Lind
storm. is also a compliment TO the
| judgment f Mr. Deront. Mr.. Lind
stor has bought all the timber the
company has used from the beginning
and has charge of all operations in the
woods
AIr. LindstrOm SAYS there has been a
great deal of snow and rain this win
ter i'm northern Arizona. The season
has been quite different from any pre-
ceding one within the ten years of his
residence there. There IVES an unus-
ual amount of rain early i'm the season,
then lots of snow and more rain. Every
thing is thoroughly soaked up in the
forests. The snow did not pack down
to make shedding practicable and the
ground is too soft for logging any other
way 1t was the purpose of the com
pany to conduct logging operations this
winter. but that was not done. on ac-
count of the weather
Mr.. Lindstrom was met here by Jim
Elder. the company's travelling sales
man in these parts. and MIR Elder did
his best to see that Mr.. Lindstrom
got in right" in the capital city. for
Jim knows everybody and almost ev-
erybody knows jim Those who don't
ought to. one % his fine qualities is
that he's an Optimist. He always ad-
mits that he is making a good decent
living and hopes TO do still better He
sells a few plank now and then. enough
To keep himself and the company GO
ing and is willing to take an order any
time. even If its a long way ahead. If
he can't get one for earlier delivery,
hell take the order and grow the trees
to fill il. That's the advantage of be-
ing the manufacturer instead of the
jobber. He has the lumber farm itself
and produces the raw material as well
as the manufactured product
