The .lolin H. Kaiser Lumber Company. Kau Claire, has sent seventy- 

 live additional men ro the woods to assist in the worli of skidding logs 

 to the parallel tracks on which they are hauled from the woods by steam.

 logs can lie hauled as readily during the summer as during the winter. 

 The s.islem has been in the cotirse of construction for the past two years 

 and the completed parts have proven very successful. With the old 

 system of hauling the logs on sleighs with horses the company wn>^ 

 required to employ a crew of some ^ieven hundred men during the winter
