4 Large Timber Chute.

A railroad and timber chute, for which the
surveys are completed, is about to be con-
structed at Ankeny's landing, few miles be-
low Cathlamet, Washington Territory, which
is one OF the most extensive if not the largest
work of the kind ever undertaken in this
region. The bluff at this point rises 700 feet
above the level of the river and ON the top
of this is being constructed railroad which
is intended to tap the timbered lands in that
section, and which will be extended back
from time to time as the timber along its
line becomes exhausted. A Is ton locomotive
for this road has been purchased in the east
by Geo. Weidler, and is now on its way here.
At the end of this road an immense chute is
to be constructed, down which the logs are
to be sent to the river. This chute is over
5000 feet in length, the upper part being
formed by deep cut at the top of the bluff,
into which the logs will be rolled from the
cars The chute will be formed of railroad
iron, laid bottom side up, so as to present a
smooth surface. Each length from the top
down will be laid a little lower than the one
behind so that no obstruction will interfere
with the free passage of the logs. The fail
in the chute for the first 100 feet will be 80
feet; for the next 700 feet at the grade of 81
feet to the hundred, and for the remainder of
the distance it will be more gradual. The
angles in the chute will be made with yerti-
cal curves so that the logs may hug the
chute during the entire descent An extern
sion boom will be placed in the river to hold
the logs. There is said to be large tract of
timber ands.adjacent to the proposed road,
and no doubt the investment will prove
rr0fit hIe one

THE MORTGAGE ON THE FARM.

We worked through spring and winter, through
summer and through fall
But tie mortgage worked the hardest and the
SteadleSt of US all
1t worked on nights and Sundays; it worked each
holiday
Ii settled down among us and never went away
Whatever we kept from it seemed almost as bad as
theft;
It watched us every minute, and it ruled us right
and left.
The rust and blight were with sometimes, and
sometimes not;
The dark -browed, scowling mortgage was forever
on the spot.
The weavi and the cut-wor,n, they went as well
came;
The mortgage staid on forever eating hearty all
the same.
II nailed up every window stood guard at every
door,
And happiness and sunshine made their home
with us more,
Till with failing crops and sickness got stalled
upon the grade,
And there came dark day when the Inter
est wasn't paid;
And there came a sharp foreclosure, and i kind O.
lost my hold,
And grew weary and discouraged and the farm
cheaply sold.
The children left and scattered when they hardly
yet was grown;
My wife she pned and perished, an found my
self alone.
What she died Of was "a mystery" and the doctors
never knew:
Bat know she died of mortgage Just well as
wanted to.
If to trace hidden SORROW were within the doc
tors art,
They'd ha' found mortgage lying on that wo-
mans broken heart
Worm or beetle, drouth or tempest, on farmers
land may fall,
But for frscass rulnation trust mortgage gainst
them all.
