Kohlsaat, Winnetka youth, who has spent the win- ter months in the lumber camps of north- ern Michigan. Dan is still in his "teens," if you please. March 3, 1923. Camp 14. Well friends :-- If I remember rightly, in my last let- ter I dwelt upon the change which has come upon the one time romantic pro- fession of lumbering. ILumbering in the woods, not from a swivel chair. I also assumed that you had been in the woods yourself. Since then I have been won- dering whether I took too much for granted. Did I? Did you ever wonder just how a log travels from tree to the mill? Speak- ing for the Bay de Noquet camps up in Northern Michigan, here's how! First it is cut from the tree in either ten, twelve, fourteen, sixteen, eighteen, or twenty foot lengths, then, if the sawer is a piece maker, (one who cuts at the rate of one cent per foot length) it must be counted and recorded by the "checker." It is then ready to start its trip. Many Busy Hands After the brush has been cleared away by the "swampers," a team hauls it away with what looks like an enlarged pair of ice tongs. This team hauls it to the road where it is loaded onto a sleigh by means of a horse "jammer" (derrick). The sleigh takes it to the landing, or clearing, at the track. Here it comes to the "scaler," who checks the number of board feet in it and records it. It is then loaded onto the cars with a steam "jammer." Then it is hauled to the mill to be sawed into lumber. It is quite a complicated process, for every log must pass through at least eight pair of hands. Nevertheless it is the most efficient way possible in these swamps which prevent the use of steam skidders, and such time and labor savers. As you can readily see, such a pro- cess. to be effective requires team-work. Bect ise of the mixture of the races, and the resultant animosity of the men to- wards one another, such co-operation is for the most part impossible. Instead of considering themselves as co-existent un- its in one body, each man is a self-depen- dent state. Just yesterday I mentioned to one of the teamsters that "we" weren't getting 2s many logs this week as last. No "We's" There "We," he exclaimed; "we! who do you mean: I don't know any 'we's' around here!" : 'we, the cogs in the el of camp 14, are not doing as well in Northwoods How of Lumbering team in which every man is the 'star; all working towards one goal, but each man for himself. Sad to say--every day, in every way, thing are not getting better and better! Well, folks, there goes the dinner bell so I'll sign off and "chow down." By the way, in a letter to one of my Win- netka correspondents I mentioned my having just eaten three pieces of mince pie. He replied that I could keep my mince as he liked apple. The cook says that there'll be both this noon. Which'll you have? Sincerely yours, Dan W. Kohlsaat Scaler Bay de Noquet Lumber Co.

He had been told by an outside service station that they were necessary: | Tlie mechanic who advised him evidently was not only unaware of the simple adjustment provided 2 for these chains, but did not even know how to remove them properly and consequently damaged them beyond repair. Incidents of this nature occur almost daily--con- tinuous evidence of the loss Cadillac owners experience 'by' having work 'done+in shops not equipped or manned to give intelligent, efficient service Cadillac Official Service Stations are maintained to protect the Cadillac owner's interests --tg 'assure him of the greatest satisfaction that can be derived from the performance of a ine motor car.
