STORE OPEN till 9.30‘ tonight. 11-331 An example of the old-time pioneer" spirit was shown this will- ter by two Charlottetown men. William Dickson and \viilialn Campbell-both well over sixty- who camped out; during tile three stornllest months of the season at Vernon River. and cleared six acres of firewood, lumber, and pit-props. Not only are they in pocket by tire transaction, but they claim the experience has left them feeling ten years younger. Messrs. Dickson and Campbell are veteran woodsmeu. They both had experience as foremen in lum- ber camps in New Brunswick and Maine. That was a long time ago; but it explains a lot. This year. in mld-Jantlary, they started out for the woods again, this time on land purchased by the Bergen Conrpany. pit-prop agents. from Mr. Albert Cairns, Vernon River. The snow was five feet deep in places. and no shel- ter in sight. They built a log shack l2 by ll feel, tarpapercd the roof. plugged the droughts, installed a THE CHARLOTTETOWN GUARDIAN Lumberjacks Brave Winter Storms In Vernon River Woods stove. burlks. and other neceun y furniture, arid got. to work. Through the six acres of wood- land which they set out to clear, eight roads had to be sllovclled. and re-shovelled aft/er every snow- storm. The trees were felled par- allel to the roads, so that. they could be readily handled on stov- cns, either for cutting into props or sending to the mill. Tile temperature some nights dropped to i2 below zero. But they knew now to make themselves warm and comfortable. They fin- ished the job in three months. leaving the land ready for stump- ng. » Tllelr camp was three miles from the nearest store, but. they were able to arrange for cooked meals occasionally from a. less dis- tant farmhouse. Also, they are grateful for assistance received from Mr. Shaw Macmillan in the way of material for their hut‘, etc. But for tile most part they were "on their own", and felt the thrill of a real pioneering experience.
