Unless the lumber market improves
within two months, indications point
to an unusually slack logging season
in northern Wisconsin. 1t is believed
that rs per cent OF the lumber COM
panies will not open their camps. The
SaWmillS Of the region to a great eX-
tent, retain their cut of last year

side of the lumber business for the
year is that wages and supplies have
dropped to some extent. This cOndi-
ton is not sufficient to offset the fact
that scarcely not board has been sold
during the year Men were scarce for
woods work last fall and wages were
offered near 500 a month and board.
The lumber cut by these expensive
workers is today piled in the yards
with little prospect Of sales even at
reduced prices.
