LAIMS A WORLD'S RECORD . Pine Island Camps of J. A. Irvine Co. Accomplish a Remarkable Feat. LARGEST LOAD OF LOGS EVER HAULED IN AMERICA LANDED. ' Some ‘ivit‘erestlnz Facts About the _Great Logging Camps of the North Country. The J. A. Irvine logging camps at Pine Island, which will be broken up in a few days after a very successful winter’s work, m_several distinctions that re umque and interesting as well in the history of northern Minnesota’s logging industry. The camps went in” after it roze up-and haye accomphshed remarkable winter’s work. The Iryine company claims the dis- tinction of having built and main- tained for four months one of the most remarkable logging roads ever constructed. Fourteen miles -in length as level as a prairie road and staked and ridered with __evergreens alongits entirelengtl: it cost a very great deal of money. Qver this road the largest load of logs ever hauled in America was recently hauled by a six- horse team and landed at the Lit- tle Tamarac river. The load was loaded by Bronk McManimim, an old time logger, was scaled by Rod McLeggen, and the state’s figures on the load show a total of 48,210 feet. The logs aver- aged about ~twenty-one to the thousand feet and the first sleigh carried a load of 18,160, the first trailer 15,040, and the second 10,010, The teamster who hauled the load was Dave Southerland, who is \well known to all the old" time loggers in this section. During the month of March the. Irvme camps landed on an average of 125,000 feet per day. The camps are among the largest ever operated in-Minnesota. At the present time a new appar- atus for hauling logs by steam is being given a trial on one of the branch roads. The device was “invented by a New York City man and the inventor is conduct- ing the - experiments. It con: sists of an engine mounted on sleighs, which carries twodrums in front, each carrying 500 feet of cable. = This cable is fastened : WRITE US I&REGARD TO. .

The inventor guarantees to haul 55,000 feet on every load and is making good. His machine is regarded as a big thing by thelumberman and bids fair to entirely revolutionize the present methods of hauling, It has succeeded 1n overcoming many.of the objections to other team hauling arrangements, A picture of thé big load of logs hauled was taken by R.

The body - was wrapped up in some sacks just as they covered the beef. That , night two fellows drove up with 2 sleigh to get a quarter of beef. “They went in and took what they supposed was a-quarter and started out with it.. They got started. good: when they de- cided to take a look at their prize and the pale moonlight' disclosed the glassy eyes and rigid features of a-man frozen todeath, I sup- % vere sci _Next. they found the corpse oad bridge and from that day to this there is nothing doing in beef stealing business at Blackduck.” Novelties for Easter Wehave received an exclusive line of Easter Novelties which is the most complete ever shown in Bemidiji Easter Eggs—In the cutest and most novel designs.
