Thinner Saws Needed.

WHAT A LUMBERMAN CORRESPONDENT
SOUND.
On arriving in the Puget Sound
country l got off the Northern Pacific
at Tacoma, and the first saw mill l
visited there / was astonished to see
them slashing up the finest and largest
timber that / ever looked at with a
fl se-gage saw, which was moving out
half inch kerf. In conversation with
man, who informed me that he was
foreman, filler and sawyer, was told
that the fir timber on Puget Sound
was 80 hard that thin saws could not
be made to run in it, and on being
asked why even two-gage saw should
be swayed SO as to cut half inch
kerf, he was unable to explain, merely
asserting that it required it in this
timber. On visiting the other mills in
Tacoma and elsewhere on the Sound
/ found the same state of affairs they
are turning out nearly as much saw
dust as lumber.
The facts are that fir is soft tim
Der, and there is no good reason why
a modern saw that works well in all
other kinds OF timber in North Amer.
lea will not work equally as well in
this Puget Sound fir. 1t is enough for
a mechanic who has made saws a
study to see at once that where thin
saws have failed to do good work here
the whole trouble has been in the filer.
As a rule, they are not progressive,
and have not got the business worked
down to nicely, partly owing to the
fact that it has not been required of
them. They have not had the Michi-
gan mill men behind them crying for
more lumber and less sawdust. I, OF
course, do not say there are no good
filers on the Sound, for there are
but when they came here they were
obliged to use the same saw and the
same devices, and to wade in the same
old rut that the old coasters have been
in for 25 years.
A good, live Michigan mill-man

time out OF what one of these large
mills wastes in sawdust. 1t would
make an eastern mill mans eye water
to stand in one of these mills and see
the greenbacks going out on the
conveyors.
There is a general cry against the
band saw here, as we'll as other thin
saws, especially among filers, who see
in it demand for increased skill and
mechanical talent in running them.
There is band saw in Seattle, in the
StetsOn & Post mill, which to my per,
sonal knowledge is doing very good
WORK, considering the difficulties un-
der which it has to labor, and l am
told it saves the difference between
one-eighth and three-eighths in saw
kerf on 10000 feet day, mostly inch
and two inch. 1t is not difficult to
see that this showing gives the thick
saw advocator black eye.
There is nothing in the Puget Sound
timber to hinder the running of saws
OF thinner gage and solid teeth, there
by making as much and as good lum-
ber, and saving 2O'per cent. OF the lum.
Der. l say 20 per cent, because in
counting the gain almost the net price
of the lumber should be taken as a
figure from which to reckon the gain,
because the saving occurs after the
lumber is well nigh made, after the
logs are squared.

The Maid and the Highwayman

1t was giddy, gushing girl from
New York, with an aptitude to bangs
and scarceness of vocabulary, which
showed at once her romantic tenden-
cies. She was travelling in a stage
coach in one of the sparcely settled re-
gions of the country. "Oh" said she
to her mother, l do wonder if we are
going to make this entire trip without
even the sign or an adventure.
Wouldn't it be horrid?"
Her mother informed her that she
didn't have much common sense, but
the girl didn't seem to mind it in the
least. In the course OF the next hour,
however, the coach suddenly stopped
and the muzzle of pistol was showed
through the door.
"Sorry to trouble you ladies'" said
the man whose head followed the
pistol, :" but if you've got any valiables,
them's what we want, an we're 4 little
pressed for time"
"Oh mamma, at last We have found
a real highwayman," said the girl with
a delightful little shrek. You're real
live robber, aren't your"
"Well l reckon that's what Pm
called"
"And you tell people to hold up
their hands and say your money or
your life to them don't your"
al hev done so, miss. But l amt
got no time to talk. I'll hev ter ask"
"How lovely! Just come right in
and sit here beside me-"
aye see miss Pm here on bizness, an
I'll trouble you-"
"No, you won't trouble us at all.
Just come in, We won't hurt you. I
just dote on robbers"
The highwayman had dropped his
pistol and was beginning to look APP
prehensive.
"Do you have to 20 away and rob
somebody's" she enquired naively. at
hope you will not run away, because l
am just beginning to get acquainted
with you. l always said l would hug
the first robber l."
But the stage door shut with bang
and the highwayman had fled.

Meeting by a transfer boat with line

The articles in the right hand col
umn are all such as laboring men must
have, or that are necessary to the de-
velopment OF the country. Democracy
says that the consumer has right
to purchase these articles at fair
price. Blaine, who represents the
Republican party, says the con-
sumner has no such right. Ac-
cording to Blaine the consum-
er must pay an enormous tax
which serves no purpose save to up
hold monopoly and embarrass the
treasury by dumping into it the
money earned by labor and taken
from the laborer against earnest pro-
test.

NOWHERE, not even by Mr.. Man
ming, has the proposition to repeal in
ternal revenue taxations been more
conclusively met than in these SEN
tences by Mr.. Fairchild:
OF course, taxation on VIII isky and
tobacco trespasses no more upon the
natural rights of man than does the
taxation of his clothing, of his bed
ding, of every implement which he
uses in the cultivation of his grain
and tobacco, and in the distillation
of the same. The burden of the one
tax is direct, known, fixed; the whole
of it goes into the governments treas
ury, the burden of the other is in
direct and unknown, and only pOr-
ton of it comes into the treasury. 1t
reaches the farmer or distiller increased
by the profit upon itself which every
merchant must take as the clothing
or tools pass through his hands on
their journey to them from the foreign
or domestic manufacturer. Taxation
there must be. The choice is between
kinds of taxation; each man can de-
eide for himself, if he will examine
the subject free from prejudice, which
is the least burdensome for him, for
his family, and for his neighbors, and
which is in the end better for his
whole country. That internal tax
alton of spirits and tobacco began
during the war is not a reason why it
should be done away with now, if it be
in itself wise.
The country will sustain the secre-
tary in his demand that luxuries be
taxed rather than the nccessarics of
life.

OF failing health, whether in the form of

and vitalizing the blood.
