pleiu this vicinity a re engag
ed in hauling birch timber in
the log to Elk Paik which
will sell for from $2(1 to ?."0
per 1000 feet according to
i ho figure of the wood. It
seems that when one kind of
valuable timber is exhausted
all other comes into market.
Thus the timber, trees, knots
&i keep continually moving
out and it is only a matter
of time 'till all the most val
uable timber will be gone,
but the worst of all is, that
we have bad roads to haul
over, and the profits are
small.
