INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

The N. Ludington Company, at
Marinette, Wis, lights its mill and
yard with gas.
Logs are selling at So thousand
on Lake Washington, near Seattle,
w. T., aud at 81 ON Puget sound.
A shinglc mill replacing the one
blown to pieces at Melbourn, Mich,
has been completed and put in opera
ton.
Cannon & Fishers match factory,
at Big Rapids. Mich, recently started
up. 1t turns out 90 gross a day, and
employs 10 hands.
Hardwood slabs, in considerable
quantity, are being carried from the
Michigan east shore to ManitowQc,
Wis, for fucI-anothcr instance of
Goals to Newcastle.
The West Michigan Lumber Com
pany is clearing and stumping land
around WoodviIIe, Newaygo county,
Mich, and propose to improve 5000
acres with the view Of developing the
village area.
f. NJ. ChappeII, of Saginaw, and +.
j. CIennam, of Bay City, Mich, have
purchased a tract of land of Watrous
Bros, on Cedar river, estimated to
contain 6O,OO0,0O0 feet of pine, at
consideration of 100000.
1t is now rumored that deep schcm-
ing was practiccd at the late Wiscon-
sin state land sales 1t has become
about time to believe that it is a cold
day when Wisconsin and Minnesota
gentlemen who desire to get hold Of
state or government pine lands get
left.
A sink hole near South Lyons,
Mich, has swallowed up three acres
of heavy timber. These sink holes
are a peculiar feature of Michigan.
They have devoured sections of rail
road. Several thousand loads Of dirt
disappeared on the Washburn farm,
South Lyons, and another hole on the
Jlark farm has been taking III l2UO
to 1900 Ioads of dirt day for some
time.
Letno operator be in too great a
hurry to sicken of the lumber busi-
ness because it is not rs flush as it was
a year ago. Those that hang on may |
get the benefit of the food tide that
always follows the ebb. The accu- |
Of the present saving season
aud lower prices will tend to check |
oyer-production, while all the time
consumption will be going on. The

The Lake Charles echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1876-1898, 1883-10-13

The California Architect and Build
ing News has the following: Hun
dreds of visiting Knights Templar
had all opportunity, while in this city,
Of seeing two of the largest pieces of
timber that ever passed through the
hands of the mill men. 1t was anus
ing to hear the remarks, and watch
the various changes in the different
countenances caused by a survey of
probably the finest pieces of timber
that were ever sawed. One piece is
l44 feet long by IS inches square,
and contains 1856 feet of lumber.
For over 100 feet there is no knot
that Scent nickel will not cover,
and in the whole piece Of timber the
largest knot can be covered by a half
dollar. 1t is wonderful that stick
of timber of the size given should be
so remarkably clear of knots. Its
companion is of the same length, I6
inches square, and contains 2,352 feet,
When it is taken INTO consideration
that the tree from which the first
mentioned piece of timber was taken
was cut several feet above the ground,
and that $50 feet from the cut made
to fell the tree it was of such a size
as to enable the mill man to saw the
log so as to produce piece of timber
of The size given, one can imagine the
size the butt must be, and partly com
pretended the amount of labor re-
quired to handle such an immense
stick. 1t costs about one-half more
to land on our whaFyes stick of tim
Der Of the size mentioned than ii does
of ordinary lengths. These pieces of
timber were sawed at the Port Blakely
mills, Washington Territory, the
owners being Renton, Holmes A. Co,
the wcll-known lumber merchants of
this city. A short time ago there was
received in this city stick Of timber
l04 feet long, "a inches square, and
almost free from knots. After its
arrival here it was allowed to be on
inspection for short time, when il
was taken to one Of our mills and
sawed into ioists, as the purpose for
which it was manufactured was given
ap and no use could be found'a at the
lime for stick Of timber Of such
argo dimeuSions. !

New Orleans States
One outgrowth of the intempcrancc
of those whose only cohesive principle
appears to be anything to Beat
McEncTy," is their assumed iudigna,
ton at the unconstitutionaIity of the
governors effort to protect one-halt
Of the state in the future, from such
calamitics as those Of 1874 and 1881,
Which spread death and dcsolation
over the fairest portions Of onr land.
One paper tells IA very amusing story
Of an Old Democrat who said "he
would be Id if he would trust
George Washington with 100000
without an appropriations Bnt the
editor who told this cXcrutlatingly fun
ny story neglected to state that Gov.
McEnery has assumed no discretionary
power over that or any other sum Of
the public money, The money he
was requested to eXpend for the re
construction of tho lGyees, and which
Is being, We are glad To say, expended
for that purpose, has accumulated and
is nccumulating from the levee and
drainage fund and devoted by law cs-
pcciaIly and exclusively to that pur-
pose; 1t is III tho treasury for the
purpose of building the evecs and for
no other. If the governor diverts a
single dollar of this fund from this
work, if he oxpends dollar of it ex
travagantIy, or more eXtrayagantIy
than these onsIanghts upon the credit
Of the work he is carrying out com
pcls him to do, he will be a recrcant
to his trust aud will deserve the Scorn
Of all honest men.
There may be in this matter
slight departure from'the letter Of the
constitution; we shall not argno that
point one way or the other. Bnt we
have shown in previous article that
in great public emergencies a de
parture of this sort is sometimes
necessary to subserve the highest
public interests. We showed that Mr.
Jefferson purchased the territory of
Louisiana when he knew he was doing
an unconstitutional act; yet that nn-
constitutional act has given us NAM
Der Of the richest states in the Union.
Some years ago, when there We're few
Federal soldiers on the western
frontier Of Texas to repeI the raids or
threatened raids Of the Indians, and
there was no legislative appropriation
to paw the expenses of state troops,
Gov. Hubbard lust took the money
ont Of the treasury, organized the
state troops and threw Himself upon
the Justice of the Texas LEGISLATURE.

TELEQRAPHIC
The Public Finances.

Washington, 2.-The clerk Of the com.
mittee Of ways and means has furnished
the following analysis Of the public DEBT.
The statement for July, at the close OF the
fret month of the new fiscal year, shows
reduction in the public debt, since uly
lst, OF ST, 600, 900 in round numbers. This
reduction, however, is not real IN the
sense that obligations to the amount
named have been discharged, the debt
columns showing no change worth MOTTO
ing since the beginning of the month.
The reduction is produced by the pay
ment of $4,000, 600 for accrued interest
and an increase Of about So. 600, 600 avail
able each balance which is now $l55,-
727, 1856. The treasury has now nearly
S2e3, 900, 600, in gold coin and gold bull
lion, aH increase during the month OF
nearly $5,090,000 Against this gold
fund there is outstanding 5000, 600 gold
certificates, en- .increasesof$ 26l, 900 for the
month. The accommodations of standard
silver dollars in the treasury goes stead
lily forward, the number Of these pieces
now held being over Sis 600, 600; agsins:
which there is outstanding nearly S74, =
100000 in certificates. Ofthe 100000
silver dollars coined in July one half
went into the treasury, including $685.
0OO,0 of fractional currency. Tha
weight of silver coin now in the treasury
is 5.084 tons. The receipts for the
month computed with those of July, 1882,
show falling eff of $4,250, 600. This
loss is mainly in the internal revenue
receipts. The operations of the new tax
law by which the tobacco tax has been
reduced one half and certain other taxes
abolished will explain the loss in Gus
toms receipts.

At New York,

NEW YORK, August 3.-The situation
Of the telegraph strike has not materially
changed. Two strikers returned to work
to-day. The Western Union business is
being handled promptly. The superinten.
dent OF the Mexican Telegraph CON-
pany states there Is no foundation for
the story that the staff OF that company have
struck,
The report that Gen. Eckert has or is
about to resign the position Of general
manager OF the Western Union Telegraph
company is generally believed. but at the
Office Of the company Mr.. Sink, the night
manager, said; IL have it from Mr..
Somerville that the report is not true. We
knew an hour ago that the report was in
circulation, but l do not believe it,"
Mr.. somerville is the gentleman in the
employ OF the company who has supplied
the information for the reporters during the
strike.
Money to aid the strl kers Is coming In
rapidly. The brokers down town are thor
oughly against the company. A large A
nancial institution down town having sew
cral private wires sent notice to the West
ern Union that one Of their wires was out
of orler and asked that it be repaired.
The company returned the answer that 1t
did not have single lineman to perform
the service. This was remarked upon as
signif ,ant, In view OF the statement put
forth that the company was amply
equipped for an emergency OF this kind,
The Produce Exchange special committee,
appointed to consider the feasibility Of the
Exchange establishing system ofteegraph
wires OF its own, met for the first time.
Members OF the committee favorable to
the project have made careful
investigation into the cost OF erecting
wires, and have asccrnined that system
OF FIVE wires from New York to Chicago
would cost only 100000. II is said
that this contempldtes frst.class
system IN every respect. With regard to
the instruments, 1t Is said that most Of the
patents have expired and there will be no
difficulty in procuring all the duplex nstru-
ments required.
The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1883-08-04

ST. Louis, August 3,--Last evening the
Wabash got its back up because the Illinois
Central is paying commissions on Chioogo
tickets, make the rate S6. 80" l. the man
date issued by II, c, Townsend, G. p. A.
OF the Wabash, and the rate is made. This
morning the other roads met the cut and the
chances are that the trouble will extend to
Kansas City for the reason that the Chicago
and Alton, which has not paid any commits
Sions, suffers as much by the cut as the Hi
nois Central. 1t will probably use It's Kan
sas City line to bring the Wabash and Cen.
trial to their harness. This morning ut the
Wabash office things and sayings looked
and sounded as though the fight would DO
pretty hard fought unless the paving Of
commissions is stopped. Mr.. Sapbern Of
the &. b. x O., said his line would pay no
commissions, but would meet the cut rate.
sam knight at the Alton office said the
Alton had paid no commissions and would
not, but the Alton would carry It's patrons
as cheap as any other line. j. M. Ches-
brough, assistant generel passen-
ger agent Of the Vandala, which line tho
Illinois Central uses from Efiingham to East
st, Louis, said he had no idea that the HI
nois Central would deny the paying OF com
missions. 4 further reduction is liable, to
be made unless Chicago is heard from. This
time the tickets are all limited and the
scalpers will have no show to work them.

ATLANTA, Ga. August 3.--Amons some
OF the curious developments growing our
OF the prohibition OF liquor licenses In
lOcal option counties ease from Forsyth
county is noticeable Some time ago
George Stephens bought a ten.gallsR key
OF W hiskey for his own use, and Watson
Moore found that George had whiskey and
also whore he kept ii. While George slept
Watson went to the barn, stole the key
and took II away. The fact that Watson
kept III hilarious condition led George to
believe that he took his whiskey, and he
said so pubHcly, Watson got mad and sued
ont writ against Stephens re-
turnable 10 the next Superior
court. to recover damages done
to his character by the charge OF theft.
After time Watson got the ''jim Jams"
and sentior three physicians, who soon
had him out again. Then his movements
were closely watched, and he was seen to
visit little brar patch In an obscure place,
IL was while he was engaged In one OF these
visits that it was aScertained that he had
he keg hidden there and reed through
switch he obtained the liquor. Watson and
the key were taken into custody and carried
before II magistrate, where Watson owned
up and agreed to pay for the whiskey,
seven gallons OF which he had used up.
The case was settled Watson went to the
clerks office, paid the costs in the dams re
suit, and had the ease dismissed
