 northeastern Wisconsin as bright and encouraging. Both concerns are 

 planning capacity output, but believe it will be necessary to do an unusual 

 amount of summer logging unless the spring this year should extend over 

 an unusually late period. Weather conditions and a scarcity of labor dur- 

 ing the last two months or more are responsible for a shortage in the log 

 supply.

 log hauler, which is making daily trips between the camps and mills and 

 is capable of hauling from seven to eight sleigh loads at one time.

 expected to be practically normal.

 and a number of them have added night shifts since resuming sawing 

 several weeks ago. The Faust Lumber Company began work on its 1919 

 cut on January 10 with a full crew and 100 carloads of logs, which supply 

 is being supplemented daily. Most of the cut will be hardwood. The
