to permit logs to be hauled out and as
result millmen may lose thousands
of dollars.
In ordinary seasons lumbermen may
depend ON from 60 to so days of sleigh
hauling, during which from % to 30
per cent of the logs cut are brought to
the railroads and mills. In some win
tiers there have been as high as 105
days for such operations But this
year in some sections there has been
none, and the millmen are facing the
dismal prospect of leaving their lumber
in the woods for another year. Many
localities depend entirely on snow for
moving their cut. This is true espe-
cially in the Kanisku country, while in
the Occur d'Alenes, chutes are used.
Last winter, due to lack of snow, thou
sands of feet of logs were left I'M
moved. Another of the same kind will
cause, it is figured, a depreciation in
the value of the product of at least 81
per thousand feet.
