Another
LUMBERLOGUE correspondents fell by the wayside this week. Af
ter an exhaustive survey of the s ituation it has been decided that
most of them must write with their t rigger fingers and that most of them
are suffering with paralysis in the said fingers following opening of the
hunting season.
JThe Pelican Bay camps are more or less isolated and it is believed
workers there may have perished i n a snowstorm. At any rate, no news
has come down from the camp thi s week and none of die earnest work
ers from the camp were seen on the streets of Klamath Falls Saturday
night. . ., ., '- i-ia' W'&riMJi&in
Someone evidently shot the correspondent at Lamms Mill, although
as we go to press this cannot be veri fied. While admitting he had it com
ing, we hope that he will have suf f i ciently recovered next week to do
his tuff.
Algoma Camp has also gone into eclipse. Ed Pulley is in Klamath
Falls following a successful opera tion. He gave us material for a nasty
dig at Jack Cruikshank and we use d it but to date there has been no
answer. Maybe Cruikshank. didn't r ead it. . ;'..
Promise was made by a certain person that doings at the Forest
Lumber Company camp would be w ritten up. Envelopes were sent out
but to date there has been no response.
In view of the above-recorded $ tagnation, it therefore becomes plain
that if you do anything worth mentioning it will pay you to write in and
tell us about it, otherwise it will be overlooked.
