the material. l have thus far spoken
OF this as IN existence but this j. only
partly true. The main building is up
aud most Of the frame for the engine
room, but the internal arrangement of
the machinery will not be accomplished
until LeIt spring. Only half a dozen
nillwrights are at work today, tut soon
the works will be enlivened by large
force to complete the superstructure as
soon as possible. Everything about the
building has an Air of great stability
The plans from which my Information
concerning the machinery are derived.
show al ingenious arrangement of saws
for the purpose Of saving the no incon-
siderable delay in preparing logs for
the circular. II consists Of an over
hanging circular little in advance OF
another at the bottom and q horizontal
or donkey saw" running between the
other. that cuts the edge of the sepa
rate work done by the other two; this
set of saws Is independent of the main
circulars aud IS used only as occasion
demands. BY this arrangement of the
machinery great saving of labor is
claimed to be effected ; whether this
will or will not accomplish this end it
is patent to any one conversant with
the manner Of doing the work of a
sswmill that great change is irevi.a-
bic. Why, large steam sswnill of
today is almost fac smile of the same
institution Of auld lang syne, while the
machinery of every other kind of man
ufactory has improvements of every
description stamping it of this age and
generation. Why the machinery of
the lumber makers should bear the i'm
press of the manipulators of the
Eighteenth century. while progress is
fire stamped upon that Of every other
important industry of the world, is one
of those things that mo fellow can
tell" The mill will be supplied with
gang of thirty-two saws of the Wicks
patent. East Saginaw. Michigan. This
gang has done good work, averaging
with one circular $4,000 feet per day.

At Chimscum the scattering farm
houses show that the interior is keeping
pace with the front. I find Mr.. p
O'Neill in charge Of Nolan's rapch at
the lower end of the valley. THIS, like
oil the places in the valley, is a dairy
ranch; about forty cows are MIXED
daily. At Mr.. WIN. Bishops in the
center of the settlement, fiud the
North Pacific Cheese Factory. making
an article second to none. 1t is located
in beautiful little valley representing
the labor and energy of Messrs. Bishop
and Eldridge and Mr. r. s. Robinson,
all old settlers. These men are types
of the best energy among the early set
tiers of our Territory. and we'll have
they been repaid. as their ranches fully
attest. The North Pacific Cheese Fac
tory is under tie eye and hand of Mr..
VIM. Fields Kozminsky. brought up
in the celebrated cheese factories Of
Cheshire county. England. who is
familiar with the manufacture of the
article in all its forms. This is the
home Of the celebrated "Cheddar"
brand Of worldwide reputation, in the
mandatory Of which Mr.. Kozminsky
is at home. The machinery of this
factory is very simple and effective.
The tank is 30 arranged that by tele-
scoping its legs at one end an incline is
formed it thus serves the double pur-
pose of tank and drying table 1t is
heated by what is called half boiler
located under the center. and connected
with it by pipe opening upwards in,
to the chamber formed rs stated below
The boiler is raised and lowered with
the tank. thus keeping the connection
intact. The tank is composed of two
parts; that which receives the milk
and the outer one into which the first
sets from . few inches below the top
of the outer one Q chamber is formed
by the different dimensions of the two
which. at the bottom, is four inches.
This chamber and boiler are filled with
water through al aperture in the side
Of the former and near its top. The
boiler is made Of two cylinders of differ
ent diameters, the one placed inside the
other. making . chamber for water. In
the inner cylinder the fire is made
and an equal temperature is given to
the bath which surrounds the milk on
the sides. ends and bottom. The milk
can be brought to any desired temper
aturo. The forms or rings are made
after an idea Of Mr.. Kosminsky's, and
consist Of two cylinders-one riveted
and the other open. They are placed
the open one ct the bottom and the
solid one on top; the latter goes down
on the outside Of the former. and as the
lever press is used no attention 10 re-
