These camps vary in size, some containing just a few men as low as twenty in number 'whilst the larger ones em- ploy men by the hundreds. This industry looms very spectac- ularly in the public eye at the present time. It has been dead for years, not dead but sleeping and .it is coming back again with more. vigor than ever. It would not be at all surprising { to see it, in the near future ogcupying a more important place than ever in the industrial life of this" country. "All things are pointing that way. It has been a very-easy matter in- deed during-the past féw years of de- pression to pick'up as many men, and, in most districts good men too, as one needed them, but today they are get- ting as scarce as-hens' teeth. Some are foolish enough to tell you that we are still in the depression. Try and get a good man, who is able and wants work and see. - What is the cause? Why Canada, not is coming, but has come: back, and 'the, lumberin districts: are once more feeling the glarions effect of prosperity that is once more. spreading over our fair land: F In the lumber camps the men work from sunrise to sunset. The men often bring their "teams and that means extra pay, for the men and work for their horges. As a rule the horses are .not in demand until the snow is on the ground and the lumber ready to be drawn; : Two men are usually employed in cutting the trees down and ene to trim them until the ground for acres around is covered with fallen giants of the forest. ' When the trees ure down and the snow covers the ground the men start to work before it 1s light. Huge fires ate lit so that the nten can see what they are about. These fires are built of the kind of wood that is not difficult to burn and which shed. a brilliant light. It is now that th ie team work comes into play. The logs are sorted into the various kinds and these into variosu qualities and are built up into piles. This is done when the lumber | pro is taken to the skidways. These skid- ways are wheré the logs stand, either in close proximity to a roadway or near a river, {If the lumber is to be transported by truck it is placed as close as possible to the. highway, if it is to be floated down it is placed near a flowing s Jor river, , There is one man upon whose shoulders is placed the success or failure of the camp, more than any- one else, and that is the cook. If the men are well fed they are blithesome and happy and they. work with a will rgeous selection of 'Personal Gree will bring a representative to i Home. 0 A good Eook 160 of his men.
