HARD HAULING

Logging in the woods is being done
under difficulties. The deep snow
makes getting about very difficult and
the cold weather all through Deem
Der and January has made hauling
very difficult. AS one lumberman
said, "the fine snow which has fallen
nearly every daymakes hauling almost
impossible. 1t is like pulling through
so much sand. You can hear the
noise of the sleighs going through the
snow for miles," During the two
days of warm weather, the latter part
of January, has been the only good
hauling days this winter.
