than during the preceding year.
Lack of demand for lumber coupled
with a backward winter are given by
the dealers as the reason for the drop
in production. Thomas a. Bradley,
manager of a logging company here.
pointed out that various companies
were delayed for weeks in putting in
their winter camps by the unusually
mild weather preventing operations
ed that the entire log output would be
below normal as a result.
Saw log production will be greatly
reduced, Bradley said, but the out
put of ties and pulp wood, which will
be heavier than last year, is expected
to offset this to some extent.
Estimates of the decrease in log
ging vary, G.. A. Mcdonald, lumber
jobber, placing the curtailment in log
production at IS per cent less than
last years, while a representative Of
thet"Scott-Graf company declared his
belief that operations would be cut so

lack Of demand for lumber. PRODUCE

Der operators assert they are able to
engage all the men they require at
this figure.
