A MICHIGAN LOGGING CAMP.
Ninety Tons of Lumber Pulled ov'

an ice Road by Two Horses.

The several logging camps Of II
lumber firm in this city are all in north
ern Michigan, and have turned out i'll
the season Just closed an aggregate of
0 1000, 000 feet Of lumber. The camps
are scattered along the Au Sable and
Pine rivers. Some OF the logs are
foated $50 miles before the mill at Os-
coda is reached. The logs are hauled
from where they are cut to the river on
low bob sleds over a carefully prepared
roadway. These roads, after snow
foundation is formed at the Begin
ming Of the season, are carefully
scraped with 9 patent scraper.
Then a sprinkl Dg-cart, with IN
abundant fos OF water, Is run over the
road at night. The water freezes and
makes the roadhed q mass OF solid ice.
Each snowfall is carefully scrapel off
and the flooding process continues until
the ice driveway is eighteen Of twenty
inches above the surface Of the adj
jacent land. Thus built, the roadbeds
are firm and not IS susceptible to a
thaw as the ord nary snow-packed
roads. In laying ont these roads a dis
lance Of two miles i often traversel
to make a pont not more than one
quarter of a mile distant. This is

of the largest load OF loys ever drawn

ago at Otsega lake, Oh the head waters

twenty-one pine logs, sixty-four feet
long, and the load mea ured 30.O6S
feet Of good lumber, board measure.
The hollow butts, arr, and waste are
all sealed out OF these fiGures. A close
estimate of the weight of the load puts
it at ninety tons.
The team weighed about 5000
pounds, and easily hauled this immense
weight a distance of a mile and a quar-
ter. The horses pull wide apart, the

feet in le2gth. The holsters Of the
bob sleds Gu which the load rests are
of the same length, and the logs
rise up to a height Of about sixteen
feet. TIE runners Of the boo slels are
about four inches wide and six inches
thick. The hobs se5 very low and
spread fully twelve feet. They are COLI
nected by c-oss chains which run from
the heel Of the front sled to the toe OF

The logs are loadaI by neal OF skids
which reach f ON the ground to the
load. With a roe anl tackle the horses

over the question Of big loads. 4 few
years ago three or foar Of these logs,
scaling 100 OF 1000 feet OF lumber,
were considered q pretty good load for
q team. The improved roalways have
largely contributed to the increased

Delegate Toole says: Too much
fuss has been made over the removal
o. Judge Coburn Of Montana. The
charge Of offensive ~part;sanship cut
no part in the affair. Such charges
were made. He went home to lndi
ana during the campaign Of 1881 and
presided over n OF two political
meetings, bit this was overlooked
entirely by the attorney general and
the president. The real reason for
the removal was that Judge GoIorn
is getting quite old, and is regarded
as incapable Of performing the duties
Of the Office satisfactorily. He Is
said to have forgotten important mat
tiers Of business connected with his
court repeatedly. and in other ways
shown that his mind is failing. For
this reason il was deemed advisable to
make a new appointment, and >Jud e
Pollard cf Indiana was named forthe
place.

The Winnemucca Silver State,
speaking of irrigation for Nevada,
says: The Legislature might author
ize the Governor to offer liberal
preminms for Aowing sr.esian wells
capable Of irrigsssng dozen or more
acres Of land, and Il certainly can
memorialize Congress to appropriate
a million or more dollars for sinking
artesian wells in Nevada. A State
which produced $500, 000,000 in gold
and silver when the country needed
it, and made the resumption Of specie
payment possible, deserves well of
the General Government, and as it
has no rivers or harbors to ask an APP
priation for, it ought to receive aid
from the National Treasury to deter
mine whether artesan water can be
found in sufficient quantity to reclaim
Its arid plains, and make them inhab-
table.
Unfortunately for Nevada, the hun
dreds of millions produced by its
mines have been invested outside its
limits. None of the millionaires
which it has made invest dollar in
developing its resources, and it is
now compelled to call upon the Gen
eral Government to assist it in pro-
curing water from artesian sources or
storing that which is wasted in the
Spring, to enable it to maintain the
place which that Government ASS gn-
ed it in the Union.

The newspaper that never makes

character to be taken into account as
factor in the community. If it takes
a straightforward course it naturally
runs counter to somebody's convic-
tons or prejudice aud excltes antag-
onism. No matter how great the dis
position may be to conciliate oppo-
nents and live at peace and harmony
with the whole world, there are times
when the interest of the public de-
mands bold, courageous words. At
such times those who hold views am,
tagonlstio to the paper respect it all
the more if it speaks out in clear,
earnest tones, regardless of personal
differences. Ii your local paper new
er runs counter to your opinions and

else the paper Is a milllsop and don't

A man who goes into stock specu-
lation with the intention of profting
by other peoples losses deserves no
sympathy when he comes to grief.
He Is gambler, pure and simple,
aud if he belongs to the majority he
is playing a game in which he is al
most sure to lose. Short sellers are
invariably of this class. The man
who buys stock outright may be con-
tributing to the development of the
mines, and is engaged in as Legitimate
business as buying gas or water
stocks, but the man who deals in
shorts is merely betting against the
judgment of the real investors. Some
effort was made at Chicago to pre-
vent dealing in grain futures and
other forms of stock gambling, but
nothing seems to come Of it. 1t is
perhaps generally inexpedient for the
law to protect foolish people against
their own folly.-[S. F. Post.
