Lumbering on the great lakes region and state politics
Expensive, sturdy logging sleds and oxen teams haul loads up to 5000 feet long from skidways to rivers. Four-horse teams, strong drivers, and camps with blacksmiths keep operations efficient. Wages range from 16 to 35 dollars monthly with board. Looming political issues include high license reforms and Senator Spooner’s election.
