tions in towns about Barre and mmed-
ately after the storm OF Saturday and
Sunday lumber men were able to work
their horses for the first time in several .
weeks. Farmers in Orange and others
who devote their time in the winter 10
getting out timber are making the most ,
Of their opportunities this week. Por
table and permanent mills in the hill re.
gions are being besieged with logs, and
shipping points like Barre, conveniently
near the scene of logging operations, are
Drofiting by the influx of timber. Lum-
Der is high this winter and big dealers
ire not holding their output for higher
prices. Consequently there has been a
leavy demand for teams to transport !,
ogs and sawed timber to the shipping
POINTS.
