Paul Bunyan's Wood Pile

The year of Two Winters was long and cold. Long because it was Winter all Summer and then in the Fdl it turned cold. And, man, it was coldt The boiling cofiee pot would freeze to the red-hot gtove; the cook's breath froze in the dinner horn so t'hat no sound came out all Winter and when it thawed in the Spring it blew for a month, steady. With ten stovea in each bunk ehanty, each one of which rcguired four cords of kindling wood to start, it waa somc iob to get in the wood. When the bull-cookfell down on the job, Paul tackled it himself and with the aid of Babe, his big blue or. he anaked in enough dead-and-down logs one noon to keep the stoves red hot till the next Summer.

If Winter snows block the Red River camps and railways, this emergency tog pile keeps the mill going-71),ffi feet daily capacity, day and night operation, the year round.
