The temperature during the day time has been far above the freezing point for several days and some of the logging roads are reported as having already been affected by the heat. A breakup of the logging sea- son at the present time would mean an enormous loss to the operators of the camps—especi- ally to the contractors who have agreed to land a certain amount of logs this winter and unless the weather changes these men will undoubtedly be left with nothing to show for their winter’s work, pected notification of the exact date of opening will be received today. The township is already alive with ‘‘squatters,”” many of whom have been cultivating farms there for years. ' The Rat Root iriver, a tributary of the Rainy river, flows through the center of the town. Most of the filings, it is expected, will be made at Internationel Falls before the United States land commissioner. lWith the opening of the new town the state gets 5,600 acres of swamp land and two sections (1,280 acres) of land for school purposes. Accompanying the plat is the following general description by N. Y. Taylor, deputy surveyor: “This township is very heavily timbered, there being no place except along the river or ona clearing where a person can run over three or four chains on the level. The land is nearly all level with the exception of a few ley. Thelogs will be transport- ed to Solway and will go to their destination via Bemidji. The work of constructing the spuris in charge of W.

The hauling season this year has been anything but favorable except for the past two or three weeks owing to the mild weather that preyailed while winted was settiog in and the heavy snowfall that occurred before the ground had been sufficiently frozen to admitof logging operations being carriea cn. A prominent con- tractor, speaking to the Pioneer today. said: “This weather is a serious menace to the loggers, who ex- pected to continue hauling at least until March 15. Three weeks taken from the latter end of the ‘hauling season means a positive loss on the winter’s work to nearly every contractor, as! the latter end of the season is al- ways considered the most favor- able time to haul logs., If this keeps up for a few days longer it will be impossible to do any hauling except at night time, when the roads are frozen. I believe, however, that this is only the regular February thaw and that the weather will take a change for the colder within a very short period of time, Itis possible, however, that this year will prove sinilar to the winter of 1901--02, when the annual breakup occurred in February and when so many of the logging contractorssus~,ended operations far in deb¢. ‘Will Give Food Sale.
