Lumber Cut is Smaller

The smallest number of log drivers
in years has passed through Greenville
this spring on their way to the head
quarters of the Penobscot and Kenne-
bee rivers to start the brook drives
along.
! There are two reasons for this. First
| is the fact that the opening of the ex-
| tension of the Somerset railway divi-
sion of the Maine Central to Birch
Point, a mile from Kineo in Moose
head Lake, has diverted a large part
of this class of travel from Greenville.
BY going that way they have saved
! the 20-mile ride across the, lake to
kineo from this point. The second
is that the cut of logs on the two big
Maine rivers is much smaller this
year than In long time, consequent
ly fewer men will be required to drive
the logs to market,
According to the most careful esti-
mates which have been made of the
lumber cut on the two rivers the past
winter it is more than a third less
than usual. No explanation of this
which seems satisfactory has been
given. @4
Spruce logs were high last year and
there was no complaint of an over
stock, yet the big pulp and paper con-
Germs, which are the big consumers of
stock today, deliberately reduced the
cut from which they are to get the
next years Q913) stock from down.
Whether it will have a tendency to
boost the price can only be conjec
tured. AS they own the bulk of the
lands upon which the logs are cut, it
will not seriously affect then-at least
such is the judgment of experts, but
will have an effect upon. the sawed
lumber market and send those prices
up.
Prices paid to drivers are practical
ly the same as a year ago-$1.75 to
$2.75 day and board. That may sound
llhe DlS lHOHey, Dut d udy Will d io6-
driving crew means from the first
streaks of dawn to the last rays of
sunlight at night. 1t means working
in ice cold water, drenched to the hide,
and sleeping in the wet clothing on the
cold, hard, frequently wet ground,

also means a diet of pork and beans,
coffee, bread and oleomargarine, not
bread and butter, for a period of from
1870 to 200 days. 1t is'not soft snap
not hotel fare.
1t is the hardest kind of work, bring
ing an early breaking down and famil-
iarty with rheumatism and at the end,
in the case of nearly every man, land
ing at Bangor at the end of the drive
with from $3.50 to $500, according to
how many visits have been made to the
"wangan," a week or 10 days drunk,
and then, dead broke, back to the
woods to help cut another years sup
ply of logs for the grinder of the pulp
mills.
But while the fare which the table
of the river drivers offers is not of
great variety, it has two good features.
There is always an ample supply and
it is always ready. This is different
from what it was in the old days. The
coming of the big pulp making con-
Germs is responsible for the change.
They have come to understand that
men must have ample and substantial
food if they are to do their best work.
They see to it that the food is sup
piled.
