MCCaFtVF Closes
Logging Camp

William Nc Carter is in the
city from his logging camp near
Plummer having closed down the
camp Wednesday. This move
was necessitated by the muddy
condition of the section where he
was logging. 1t is expected that
the shutdown will be only tenn
porary and he expects to resume
work in two or three weeks.
1t is possible, however, that he
will not start there again this
summer as he has been offered
another contract. The work on
the present contract can be done
much easier in the winter than
in the summer and it may be that
he will accept the new contract
and leave the work on the old one
until next winter.

dozens were sent who were no more
