The Milwaukee road has taken off its two big trains between Iron 

 Mountain and .Menominee and is finishing the log hauling with regular 

 trains, .\lthougli the log hauling season started very late, nearly all 

 ot the upper peninsula lumbermen found it an ideal season and it is 

 estimated that about 100,000,000 feet of timber was cut. The fact that 

 there was little snow made it possible to haul from the woods as much 

 as is generally taken out In three months.

 slowly but surely. The annual slump was not only greater during the

 as June. In former years plenty of work of all classes could be obtained 

 as late as September. Since February 1 the rise in the situation has 

 amounted to fully ten per cent toward normality. .-V steadj* Increase 

 in calls for more men is being noticed at the local branch of the 

 Wisconsin Free Employment Bureau. Both skilled help and general 

 laborers are finding employment with the advent of fair and milder 

 weather. One incident to show the improvement Is the fact that tlie 

 Milwaukee road shops reengaged lioti nien In the repair department who 

 bad been idle for several weeks following a general lay-off at the shops.
