Bill Nye, who is in Wisconsin in
search of a few patches Of health, writes
his paper regarding the pineries:
Northern Wisconsin is the place
where the 'sforeign lumber comes from
which we use in Laramie in the erection
of our p~alatial residences. [ visited the
mill last week that furnished the lumber
used in the Oasis Hotel at Greeley.
They yank a big wet log into that mill
and turn it into cash as quick as a rail-
road man can draw his salary out Of the
paw car. The log is held on a carriage
by means of iron dogs while it is being
worked into lumber. These iron dogs
are not like those we see on the front
stems of a brown stone front occasionally.
They are another breed OF dogs.
The managing editor of the mill lays
ont the LOG in his mind aud works ltlnto
dimension stuff, shlngle bolts, slabs,
edeings, two by tours, two by elghts,
two by skies, ETC., so as to use the goods
