The first thing to do is to have the logs
out of the water. This is done readily.
Tor the car on which the logs is placed is
dragged by steam power up the inclined
plane, when the log Is quickly transfer
red to the carriage. The skilfu foreman
determines in moment how it shall be
cut. In moment more it is moving to-
ward the steel teeth of the saw, which
revolving many times minute, cuts off
slab as readily as if it were cheese. A
set OF rollers, connected by rubber bands,
carry the slab to the sorter, who tells at a
glance whether it is good for lath or fire
wood. Meanwhile the wheel goes on re-
volving. The massive tree which was
once the pride of the forest is becoming
smaller as the boards are taken from it's
sides. Finally as the practiced eye of the
foreman had judged, nought remains but
some board which are quickly resolved
into "two by fours," with which builders
are so familiar. In this way work goes
on smootly until 10000 feet are cut, which
is now the usual days run. Then the
whistle is heard again and the workmen
disperse to comfortable homes to rest, for
"each morning sees some work begun.
the evening sees its Close" as Longfellow
sings.
Nothing goes to waste in this well-man-
neged mill. The sawdust, as already not
ed, serves as fuel. The lath mill utilizes
the outside while the planer reduces large
and small boards to comely shape, adapt
| ing them for the choicest work. In each
| department the machinery IS the best that
could be obtained. The new engine
comes from Mansfield, Ohio, whence it
was brought without toll or trouble by
the Manitoba railroad-very unlike the
old method when machinery was hauled
here by wagons over rugged roads at con
siderable expense.
The mill is now worked nearly to its
full capacity. A drive is expected in a
day or two which will fill the Missouri
with logs-at least that part of the big
river guarded by the boom, which Mr..
Myers has had constructed at considerable
expense to prevent his logs from floating
into the rapids and thence over the falls.
The weekly pay roll at this great lum-
Der factory is about $500. Skilled men
are secured for the heads of each depart
ment, for Mr.. Myers believes IN securing
good men and paying them good wages
The money received for wages is mostly
expended in town, which does more SER
vice than if it were distributed in Canada
whence it is proposed under the Mills
tariff bill to import lumber duty free.
Mr.. Myers is extending his business by
turning railroad facilities to account. In
order to suit all tastes in the building
line he is importing cedar and other lum-
Der, so that no one need seek elsewhere
for choice material.

The Weekly Evening Post.

The New York Evening Post will
begin, on the third of May, to issue /.
weekly edition, having for its principal
aim the promotion Of Revenue Reform,
which has become the paramount issue in
national politics. The existence of an
actual surplus in the Treasury estimated
to reach $140OOO,0OO on the Both of June,
1888, and the further increase thereof
under present laws, are menace to all
business interests, and direct incentive
to Wastefulness and corruption in the ap-
propriations of public money. The at
tention of the people having been
strongly drawn to this subject by the
President in his last annual message, the
need of information and popular en-
lightment on questions of revenue and
taxation has been increasingly felt in all
parts of the country
1t is the intention of the management
to make tirst-class weekly newspaper
Of IL pages Subscription price ST per
year. A free copy of the first number
will be mailed anywhere on request.

LUMBER FOR ALL.
The Best Equipped Mill in Northern
Montana Starts Up.

The Best Equipped Mill in Northern
Montana Starts Up.
The sawmill Of Ira Myers & Co. is now
in active operation. The new machinery
which Mr.. Myers purchased at cost OF
about $4,000 was set at work yesterday,
and is giving perfect satisfaction. This
pioneer sawmill has grown with the
growth of Great Falls and now ranks
with the finest in the country. 1t was
started when there was nothing but few
tents on the site of this city. Mr.. My
ers invested at that time $4,000 in logs.
That was deemed foolish by some peo-
pie, but his confidence in the advance
ment of the city has been fully justified
Year after year his business has increased
so that he has to make provision many
months ahead for his supply. Only yes
terday he started out men to cut logs
which will not be sawed into lumber un-
til next year.
1t is a busy scene at the mill now. At
7 o'clock the whistle, which is heard all
over the city, announces that work has
begun. The two engines, one 45 and the
other 80 horse power, are soon in motion,
for steam is kept up all the time. The
fuel used to heat the great boilers is saw
dust Of which there is an abundance.

A White Buffalo Robe.

A white buffalo robe is a rare posses
sion. o. W. Jackson, the music man, has
just brought one from Fort Benton to
show to his Helena friends that there was
once such an animal as white buffalo OF
bison. The robe is from the cabinet col
lection of Indian curiosities and fine furs
and robes of John ]. Healy, formerly of
Fort Benton. The robe, (really more Of
bright cream color than pure white),
was bought from an Indian hunter more
than twenty years ago. 1t was evidently
from the back of a yearing, being small
compared to the size of the usual robe.-

KIDNAPPED.
A Chinese Maiden Carried Away to
fresno.

A Chinese Maiden Carried Away to
Another case of kidnapping came to
light yesterday, in which Chinese
maiden named Nyon Foong was the
object and Fresno her destin alton. The
kidnapper in this instance was Constable
French of that city, who is not to blame
for obeying the mandate of the court
which issued the warrant for the arrest
of Nyon upon minor offense, sworn out
by Chinanan, whose sole object ap-
pears to be to get possession of the girl
and take her away from her friends here.
These instances are quite common in the
northern part of the State, and it is no
unusual thing for Chinaman who hap
pens to see maiden of his race to whom
he takes fancy to 60 to some other
town, swear out warrant for her arrest
and, after her acquittal by the court,
take possession of her, and it is asserted
that this is the object in this case.
Constable French, who came here for the
Chinese maiden was in the city two days
before he managed to get the girl to the
train on Saturday afternoon. She had
been gone some time before her frien ds
found it out, and then they visited the
Sherif's Office and explained in a wild
manner that Nyon had been kidnapped.
A writ of habeas corpus has been sworn
out, and the rights of the parties will be
determined in the Superior Court.

grounds at the increased price.

Farming Lands are Held Too High.
EDITORS HERALD-Among your very
pertinent list of "things to be DONE" in
to-day's issue you say, "to get one thou
sand families of sturdy farmers to settle
on small farms in Los Angeles county"
also, "to advertise this section as it has
never yet been done, by sending living
missionaries" etc. Now 1 have had
some experience in the missionary busi-
ness and have only this to say: When
your living missionary can truthfully say
to the sturdy farmer, "Sir, you can buy
small farm in Los Angeles county for
just the amount that it will pay 10 per
cent. interest and taxes on, plus the cost
of cultivation. in annual crops, he will
find no difficulty in securing not 900, but
5 900 of them to come at once; but just
so long as farming lands in this
county are held at from 5000 to 5000 that
cannot be rented to-day for more than
$40 of on from 500 to $50 per acre, and
much of it not that, just so long will the
aforesaid sturdy farmer stay where he is.
The climatic attractions of this county
are truly great; all in fact that has ever
been claimed for them, but the sturdy
farmer who must make living for him
self and family off OF from five to twenty
acres Of land requires other inducements
besides climate. 1t is absurd to talk
about his paying from $500 to 5000 per
acre for such lands in raw state simply
because when highly cultivated and
years of time and labor have been ex-
pended on them they will yield profit
on that amount invested. The farmer
must have the benefit of that increase
himself.
As we'll might the stock breeder ask
$500 for the newborn colt because, for.
sooth, the colt would probably bring that
amount when six years old and well
broke to harness.
The true test of the value of unim.
proved lands is their rental value fol-
annual crops, and when that test hat
been applied in this county the lands will
sell readily enough, and very little mis-
sionary work will be necessary to secure
an influx of buyers. Allow me to EN-
phasize the assertion that raw lands fol
farming purposes are yet too high, ane
must come down. 1 speak from expert
ence both as a missionary and
