Logging by rail is proved to be a
success at Olympia. Ben. Turner is
having all he can do to supply the
logs as fast as they can be brought to
the bay. There are three cars now in
use which carry about 10000 feet at a
load, or from 3 1000 to 1, 800 each. Three
trips per day are now made, and aver
age about $4,000 per day. All has
gone smoothly, without accident of
any kind, since the new ears arrived
from California. These cars cost about
S555 each, and are of a pattern in use
in that state, and proven well adapted
for the purpose. Mr.. Turner and the
railroad folks are in good spirits over
the success of what has hitherto been
an experiment but what is now shown
to be one of the practical industries of
the country.-Olympia Courier.
