Old Times.

Ed. Registsr-Y esterday. as I was
looking over your exchanges, 1 saw an
account of a new sawniil down the
railroad in one of the lower counties,
that sawed one hundred thousand feet
of lumber each day of the week. When
I road that I just wondered if old Noah
and his boys would not have opened
their eyes if such a mill as that bad
been set down in their neigh borhood; it
would not have taken him and his sons
one hundred years to have built their
ark; and to go no further back than
fifty years ago, when it not an uncom-
mon sight to see two men saving with
q pit-saw. Now, do the boys who read
this know what q pit-saw is? Did you
ever see one? / remember when We
were building one of our houses-it was
the year we built two brick houses
we, by some oversight or miscalcula-
ton, fell short in the number of joists
for one of the houses, so we hired two
of our neighbors to come with their
saw and fill out the timber that was
lacking. A pit-saw is about as long as
a cross-cut saw, wider at the top end
than at the lower end. The handle on
top is made of iron, about two feet long
and bent forward with wooden handle
like an auger handle, crosswise of the
saw. AT the lower end is wooden
handle about a foot long, made large

to slip ON the back side of the saw,
and fastened with a wedge, which is
driven in the saw corf beside the saw.
This handle is made to be taken off
and put on at the pleasure of the saw
men. So much for the saw. The next
thing is the pit, which is no pit at all,
but four pos is set i'm the ground about
eight feet apart each way, so as to form
a square-the posts six or seven feet
high. On the top of these posts are
fastened two timbers on which the logs
that are to be sawed are placed. Be-
fore the logs are put on top OF this
frame. each log is hewn on each side
to the thickness of the joists or plank
desired. After the logs are all hewn
to the desired thickness they are all
spaced off as thick as the plank.or Jolst
Ia to be at each end, then lined from
end to end, SO there are just as many
lines from end to end as the saw will
have to go through the log. The saw
Is governed by these lines. After all
the logs are lined and placed up on this
,asscaffold, one man stands up on the log
with the long handle of The saw, and

RAGS FROM JAPAN.
Non -Disinfected cargoes Landed In
This City to Save Money.

A crew Of longshoremen were busy yester-
day unloading the cargo of rags from the
barque Importer, Captain Vessels, from Hi
ogo, Japan, for S. Warren & Co., of Cumher-
land Mills. The vessel brought ,S26 bales Of
rags. which weigh from 4c0 to a little over
800 pounds per bale. The rags are mostly
colored cotton, and gathered in the different
cities OF japan by rag pickers" and taken
in small bundles to the coast. If they are to
be shipped to other cities, when the law re-
quires it, they are disinfected and then baled
by means Of a hydraulic press. On.each bale
of rags, to certify that they have been disin-
fected. the United States consul places tag,
and when cargo of these rags arrives at
New York they are landed without objection
being made by the authorities.
Yesterday the writer walked into the Grand
Trunk freight shed, where the cargo was be-
ing unloaded, and upon meeting Captain
Vessel asked him If the rags had been disin-
fected. NO." replied the captain, ''they
have not. You see If a vessel was going to
land cargo of rags in New York they would
all have to be disinfected. Now, it costs
about fifty cents extra for each bale upon
which the United States consups seal is
placed, and if vessel takes a large cargo
this makes an additional cost Of several hun
dredIdollars. This expense, however, is saved
by bringing the cargo to Portland, because
1t makes no difference here whether they are
disinfected or not, so far as the law has any
thing to do with IT,"

THE FREE TRADE PROCESSION
Pictured by Mr.. Buchanan, Of New
Jersey.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-When the House
went into committee of the whole this morn
ing to consider the tariff bill, Mr.. Buchan-
nan, of New Jersey, pictured the free trade
procession marching over the country de-
stroying American industries and annihilat-
ing American enterprise. The speaker as
serted that instead of removing the irregu-
larities of the tariff, the bill increased them.
1t was not a careful consistent, business
like effcrt to correct and revise the tariff but
only increased, or cut down duties here and
there on no discoverable logical basis. 1t
would not aid the manufacturer by giving
him cheaper material because it advanced
the rate on some articles and, as to others,
the reduction on manufactured products,
was greater than the reduction on raw ma
terial. He earnestly protested against the
reduction of the duty on earthen ware and
read petition from workingmen in his dis
trict against the principles of the bill. The
measure struck blow at almost every indus
try in his district. 1t would increase the
surplus by stimulating importation and
would carry gain to otner nations by BRING
ing losses to our own. He denounced in
general and in detail the provisions of the
bill.
Mr.. Hemphill, of South Carolina, con-
tended that taxation for other than pub
lie purposes was unconstitutional. A tariff
for protection was illegal and unjust. Un-
der it the entire people were subjected to
monopolies The only protection the gov.
ernment had right to exercise was the pro-
lection of itself against any enemy that
threatened it and its citizens from injustice
at the hands of any other nation. 1t was a
preservation of the power of the government
when protection was accorded for any other
purpose, especially when it was made the

Captain Josiah Nickerson.

Captain Josiah Nickerson, the well known
ship broker and commission merchant, died
at his residence on India street yesterday af-
ternoon, after long and tedious illness.
Captain Nickerson was native of Dennis,
Mass, and was born September s, 1926. He
took charge of vessel at the age of 49, and
followed the sea as ship master until 1867,
when he retired and began the business of a
ship broker on Commercial street. In 1873
his son, Peter S. Nickerson, was admitted
and the firm became J. Nickerson & Son, re-
naming so until the present time In all his
sea experience Capt Nickerson never lost a
vessel.
Captain Nickerson was member of Port
land Lodge of Aasons, Masonic Relief,
Maine Lodge of Odd Fellows, Machigonne
Encampment Odd Fellows Benefit, Odd
Fellows Relief of Maine, Odd Fellows Re-
lief of Portland, Bramhall Lodge knights of
Pythias, Citizens Relief and the Aged Broth
