Owing to the inactivity in numbering
the past spring and summer, Shelton has
been quite dull, though this feeling has
been shared by all of the towns on the
sound in more or less measure. Now thai
logs are again in good demand at seven
dOllars-or better for first class logs, OF
sticks Of extra length and size, Shelton
is to have lively winter of 1t. Property
is again in some demand, and building
and other improvements are going on, sc
that the coming spring will find us new
town again
The Satsop Railroad the largest exclus-
i've numbering concern on the Sound, is
putting in great many logs. all of them
first class, with numerous spars and i'm
mense sticks, up to 10 feet in length
They are building dock Tor the purpose
of hewing these spars here at Shelton, and
this latter will he an important branch to
the numbering industry. Besides the
erection of large new store building
the company contemplates putting in "A
complete machine shop to do their own
repairing on their three locomotives.
The Satsop, especially under its present
management has done great deal for
Shelton and expects to do much more

Engineer Snyder thinks she came down
at 75-mile gait, but stranger, taking
flying ride of this sort on the log train
would think these figures very mild. The
grade from that point is something like
100 feet to the mile, and it is always nee
essary to hold the heavy trains we'll in, un
til several bad curves are passed. The

been out with crew, a month or more re
locating that part Of the railroad, in a
very easy grade of about so feet, to the
Falls, about eight miles from Shelton
This change will cost considerable, but
will do away with several dangerous
places On the road, and make it more per
