LOGGERs HANDICAPPED
Lack Of Cold Weather And Snow
Hinders Operations Many Men in
Be1nidji Cannot Obtain Work
AGENCIES NOW AT sTANDsTILl

Logging operators of Bemidji and
Beltrami county claim to have been
more greatly handicapped from the
mild weather during November this
year than during the same period in
any other ersyearsin the history of the
business. Orders for menshave practi-
cally ceased in Bemidji, and many
men are now about town who claim
they cannot obtain work.
"The congestion of men is not due
to business conditions said Peter
Edd, of the National Employment
Agency, "but to weather conditions,
Employment agencies are now prac-
,tically at a standstill, and will be un-
til cold weather comes.
every few orders for men are COM
ing in Railroad work is practically
over for this year except for crews
that are maintained all winter 1t is
probable, however, that a freeze-up
will occure shortly, and then the axes
will ring all through the big woods.
Part of the timber is on swampy
land, and with the weather as it
is, the ground is so soft that teams
can't haul loads over the roads.
i, j..
Cutting timber is a hard job at
present. A tree to cut well must be
full of frost Then it works up easily.
1 do not think there is anything
alarming in the situation The pre-
sent weather conditions are unsea-
sonable, and will probably not last
many more days. When a freeze-up
comes, operations will be started
more strenuously than ever, and men
will be in good demand
Mr.. Edd says that the lull in bust
ness has caught many laboring men
off their guard, and most of them
are now broke, and waiting to be
shipped out

Albright for President.
That which is causing large
amount of attention is the election
of officers which will take place DUR
ing the convention It is probable
that c. A. Albright, an attorney of
Brainerd, and now vice president of
the association, will be- nominated
for president, and the opinion seems
to be general that he will not be op-
posed. It is believed that he will
make an. ideal president.
Recommends Koll.
NJ. N. Kohl, of Cass Lake, who is
now in the real estate business, for
merly receiver in the Cass Lake land
office, is being talked of as candi-
date for secretary, and his election
is now being advocated by Editor
Dare of the Walker Pilot. While for
time it was believed that Secretary
Mackenzie would be reelected, his
announcement that he would retire
from that position the first of the
year has given many members of the
organization the impression that it
would be foolishness to name him for
so short length of time

Junketing Bill to expend $500 in a junketing
trip to the various institutions of the state looked
bit extravigant the part of the members of the

senate, however, killed the measure, which originated
in the house. and so the members of the legislature
will have personal knowledge of the various inst
tutons and will vote for appropriations therefor g
noranty In the past the appropriations for the state
institutions have been entirely too large for the good
of the tax payers however honestly those appropri
ations may have been handled A visit to those places
