that of last winter.

The large loads of old growth hemlock
logs and the number Of teams engaged
in hauling them from the operations OF

through this village the past week.
Twenty -four oxen and fourteen horses
are employed upon the job, all the oxen
except four being owned by the Wheeler
Lumber Company. The loads that they
are taking to South Paris are of the real
