GerTiSh & Woods Railroad.

The logging operations Of Gerrish &
Wood are on the west side Of Higgins
Lake, in RoscommOn county. Like
most other lumbermen who struggled
through the disastrous effects of the
warm weather and lack of snow and
ice, last winter, they have adopted the
plan of hauling their logs to the roll
ways by rail. Frem f. w. Gcrrish,
who, by the way, is one of the most
successful lumbermen I'm the north
wOods, we have gained the following
information, i'm regard to the constric-
ton and work of their railway: The
track is narrow gauge, and Is "a miles
In length, with u very heavy down
grade from the logging camp to the
lake. No engine Is used on this roa,l.
They have Is cars, 8 of which are haul
ed back and loaded while the other s
are going down to the rollway. The
logs are loaded on the cars in the usual
style at the skidways. and are then
hauled by horses up a slight grade To
the top of the ridge from whence the
main track starts for the lake, and are
left there, In sections, of 4 cars each.
the emty cars, that have been hauled
back from the rollway by u span of
horses; are run upon turnout, about
20 rods down the slope. When they
are clear of the main track signal IL
given by blowinya horn. Then the
brakes are loosened OF the first section
of loaded ears, and they begin tn move
down the grade. When the first see
tion has proceeded 15 or 70 rods, the
second section is started; and thus both
continued on, past the turnout, towards
the lake, at the speed offs to lO miles
l,x, "A l,r,. 4.
Each section or train of cars Is man
aged by one man: The span OF horses
to he used to haul back the cars when
ready ut the landing when wanted.
Each car carries from 200 to 500 feet
OF logs, loaded OH bunkers I'm the usual
way, and fastened OH with chains and
binding poles. At the rollway men arc
stationed to assist i'm unloading, AMI it
Is quickly performed. Each train
makes 6 trips day; and the total
amount put In daily Is 100000 to 150,
600 feet. The whole cost of the road
and cars did not exceed 81 900, and the
expense of putting i'm logs In that man.
ner is no greater than by snow hauling,
besides being much more sure ami
speedy. The span of horses seem to
have no trouble i'm moving empty cars
up the grade, and make the trip in less
than an hour. When the empty cars
arrive on the turnout, the horn is
blown, and the next loaded trains pass
by in obedience to the signal. The
horses then haul the empty cars to the
top of the ridge, where they are un-
hitched, and the men run the cars to
tile skidways as wanted for loading.
The cars i'm their construction are sim-
liar to those OH other logging railroads,
mounted on iron trucks, and having
bunker frames and long wooden reach
es for couplings. This Is probably the
most economical plan for u short haul
| iron track railroad. An engine Is the
cheapest If the haul Is much longer
| than that = OxceOLn OMfLine.

A Pen Picture,

sine won the hearts of all. But alas!
those glowing cheeks and lips are now
buncllcd 10y consumption. The voice
once 30 enchanting in laugh and song
is feeble, husky and broken by hOl-
low cough. Let us approach her couch
AMI gently take her bloOdlcss hand in
tilr own. Do not shuddcr because OF
it's feeble passionless grasp. Tie hand
once 50 warm and plump shows its
bony outlines, while the cords and tor
tuous veins are plainly mapped upon its
surface. The pulse that bounded with
repletion, imparting beauty, vivacity,
health, and strength, to the system, IN
delicate to the touch. The enervated
heart fccbly propels the thin,
scanty blood. Must we lose her
while yet so young and SO fair?
No. There IN relief. But something
more is required than the observance

1t is invigorating. IL aliays the irritable
cough, improves the appetite and di-
gestion, and sends "a healthy tingle

her requests are no longer delivered la

Human Reason.

Mr. EDrroR:-In reply to "F. ID. LIS
letter, OF June the 9th, In the STAR,
contend that scientific knowledge with
out the light of revelation, will not shut
out superstition and delusion. We have
only to refer to the most enlightened
nations of the past to prove this. Rea-
son is a very good servant, but "a bad
master. It only works by the senses.
1t stores up, compares, and puts our
knowledge to the best use. 1t teaches
that what has happened once, will, un-
der similar circumstances, happen
again. Reason Is not q primitive pow
er. It can discover nothing, nor in
form us of what Is in the future. Men
have gioried in the light of reason
through all the ages Of the past; for in
every age they could compare the pres
ent with the past, and cry, what an
Improvement! And reason tells us
they will do the same in the future.
The world has been run by the light OF
reason for some thousands Of years
and must say that it is a failure tu
mans best interests; and one Of the
chief causes of its failure Is mans sci.
fishness. "AIan's inhuma nifty to man
makes countless thousan dis mourn"
Present gain and self-inte rest will gen
orally carry the day against ul innate
good to the community.
Reason tells us that when our neigh
bor Injuries us, we should repay in kind,
with interest; and the fabric that rca-
son builds will be like the foundation
that it builds upon. Ii on truth, 1t will
be firm and lasting; but IL the founda-
ton Is false, the fabric will fail when
knowledge reveals the truth. think
that Mr.. l.. cannot fairly condemn
moral laws and precepts of the bible,
because nominal christians do not keep
them. You cannot find code In any
other book like them, for simplicity
and Omprehensiveness. A child can
understand them. While we cannot
commit "a wrong against man or God,
without being sensible of breaking
them, yet leaving every one free TO use
all just means To secure his own COM
fort and happiness.
This letter is getting too long, and
will not allow me to make any com
mcnts OIL his signs of the times; but
| may suggest that as there are great
many of the prophecies of the bible t0
be yet fulfilled, he may give them a
careful reading to help him understand
the signs. Respectfully yours,
MAN IN TIE WOODS.

There will he about 80 carloads of
lumber and shingles shipped from this

Mr.. Munson has purchased some
pine land 4 mile west of this place, Of
Mr.. Jennings, Of the Land Office, at
Reed City, and he Is putting In pole
road, for stocking his timber In on the
concave truck wheels. We think lie
intends to have it sawed ut the Will
liams mill.
A discourse was delivered here, on
Friday night last, by Mrs. Morse, OF
Wayland, this State. She Is what Is
called Free Thinker, and her discourse
was favored with large attendance,
and all seemed to enjoy her discourse,
except very few, who are not inter-
ested In anything of u scientific char
acter. She handles any theme with
perfect ease, and whoever goes to hear
her cannot fail to be well pleased with
her discourse. We understand that
she will lecture here again, on Thurs
day night, and ut Baldwin, OH Friday
night.
Tie frost has not forgotten to call
upon us occasionally. We learn that
the pcas are not killed.
The prospect of business here looks
more favorable now, than ever before;
and II the same continues for the flu
ture, we have every reason to think
that il our interests are not usurped by
Chicago, VIC may have, In the course
of time, town numbering less than
