(Correspondence of the Canada Lumberman.) The one absorbing and prevailing topic in lumber circles is the scarcity of men, and it is not all talk either, for lack of help is proving a serious business in the yards and on the limits too. The late harvest in Quebec and Ontario and tlie prevailing high rate of wages drew the men to the fields and the) are not available for the limits and mill yards. Ot course, matters will improve as soun as the har- vest work is nearing a close. Railway agents and mill men say that large quan- tities of lumber are lying in the yards awaiting shipment, but tied up for the reason that men cannot be secured to load it. One dealer this week offered three dollars a day, but could not get men to load a rush order. It is a big jump from eight or nine dollars a week in a mill yard to thirty dollars a month and board on a farm, and the unskilled laborer naturally prefers the latter. For a similar reason, as has been re- marked betore, it is difficult to get men for work on the limits. The Georgian Bay firms are offering in Ottawa as high as thirty-five dollars a month and board for axe men. Local fi
