At {each -recurring period of this nature greater difficulty is being experien- ced by lurnbermen in obtainingrnen to work in the woods and in retain- ing them after once engaged. The high wages which prevailed during the past two winters seemed insuf- ficient to induce men to submit to the `trivial hardships `associated with life in-the woods; the industrial rc- tivity of the more thickly populated %distriots where work could always Ibo obtained. proved too great an at- traction. The severity of last win- ter also tended `to discourage the _ woodsman and make his labors u.n-1 ple'asant.. It was likewise disheart-N eningv to the operators. who have no desire to experience another such 3UiL'3Ullo Turning to physical conditions. the question of moving the logs from the limits `to the mill is one ` which as time goes on is becoming a more difficult problem.
