PAGE SIX RECEIVE 600D TREATMENT AT NEBISH CAMP Well Paid and Have Quarters That Are Ideal in Every Possible Way SHOWER BATHS ARE SPECIAL FEATURE Meals of High Quality and Sleeping Equipment Ts Out of Ordinary “Lumberjacks of the Past and Present,” is the title of an article which appeared in a recent issue of the Minneapolis Journal. The article sets out, as an example of the modern conditions in the lumber camps of to- day, camp No. 6 on White Fish lake, east of Nebish, operated by the Crookston company. It is interesting to note that the conditjons are great- 1y changed since fhe time when “go- ing up into the woods” was a matter of almost complete isolation from early fall until late spring. Men Are Satisfied. The men in the camp at White Fish lake are satisfied with their present wages of $65 to $85 a month and board, and will work contentedly all winter if not led astray by I. W. W. organizers. The men are hauled from camp to the scene of their day’s labors and back again at night. Close by the place where the trees are being felled is a warm portable din- ing room where hot dinners are ready for the men at noon. Mail arrives each day and telephones connect to the world outside of the big woods. Splendid Accomodations. At the camp are well built and heated bunkhouses, containing beds of steel with wire springs, clean mat- tresses, quilts, blankets and pillows. The floor of the bunkhouse is scrubbed every other day. Ventilators in the roof give plenty of air. The lumberjack of today is exception- ally clean. On the edge of the lake there is a large bathhouse where there are shower baths with hot and cold water on tap all of the time. In this same buildnig there are several tubs provided in which the men wash their clothing. The kitchen and dining hall are very clean. The long tables are cov- ered with white oilcloth which is washed after each meal. Upon each tabl® at the average meal is the fol- lowing food, and each man helps him- self to all that he wants: Cucumber Pickles Beet Pickles Roast Beef with Gravy Codfish with Gravy Cabbage Salad . Boiled Potgtoes Baked Beans Freshly Baked White Bread Hot Rolls Rye Crisps Soda Crackers Honey Raspberry Jam Catsup Vinegar - Salad Dressing Pepper Sugar .- Salt - Butter Substitute Doughnuts Ginger Cookies White Cookies . Frosted Cake Apple Pie Tea Coffee Milk Well Paid and Treated The men in the north woods if left alone would be satisfied. They know paid. Nevertheless they are not be- ing left alone. Agents of the I. W. W. organization are constantly visiting the' camps, urging the woodsmen to join with them to get higher pay and do less work. Fully 50 per cent of the lumberjacks in northern Minne- sota belong to the I. W. W. Most of them have no excuse save they “like to belong to something,” and are satisfied with the life and con- ditions in the woods. The warking conditions in the Crookston camps can not well be bettered than they _are at present. SHELL FOR MILK BOTTLE, The milk bottle on the dining table is considered very bad form, but it is exceedingly convenjent and make use of it in this manner is very strong. A method of camouflaging the milk bottle consists of a metal ghell with a spout and a handle, which takes the form of a pitcher and when the bottle is dropped into this container the milk may be poured directly from it. It is said to have a sanitary recommendation in that, for nursery use, it does not necegsitate the pouring of milk into a bottle which may not have been sterilized. LONDON FIGHTS FOG. London is planning new -measures against the dense fogs which, sev- eral times each winter, seriously in- ferfere with street traffic and cause many traffic accidents. Men equipped with fog-penetrating lamps are to be stantioned at points sbout the ‘city where traffic is most o - LOGGING MEN they are being well treated and well| for that reason the temptation to) 4-2§--conty; Bemidji M'irket" Quota -— THE tions Chicago, Jan. 12.—Potato receipts today, 60 cars.

A district logging engineer, with aeadquarters at Missoula, Mont., re- ports that he has seen cedar trees more than 2,000 years old, still alive and growing in the extreme north- eastern corner of the Kanisku for- est, which is in Washington. “Thoze trees,” said the engineer, “varied in size from a foot to ten feet in diameter. [ used a boring instrument on them and found that the trees were in all cases 2,000 years old, an? some of them nearly 3,000. The wood is firm and is a polentia) source of high-grade timber. 1 know of no place in the United States, ex- cept. the cedwood . forests, where trees of that age may be found.” SUUDEN HOPE.
