Dallas Observer: At present the problem
of being able to run logs this winter, appears
to be somewhat mixed. There is good fall
Of snow in the mountains; but the question
arises, how will this go eff. Should it 60 off
suddenly, with rain, the streams will float
the logs in fine shape; but should warm
weather continue aud the snow go off grad
ually, the waters will be no higher than last
winter. SIS far this winter the waters of
the La Creole have hardly been muddled.
Everybod is looking for and earnestly hop

Mr.. R. G. Sanford was blasting well for
Mr.. P. Godfrey at depth of sixty feet, ON
Five Mile creek, last Tuesday, and cut eff |
the fuse about two feet in length. The ex,
plosion took place when he was within |
Is feet of the surface, and the conclusion
raised him about six feet and let him fall |
very suddenly. He was badly scared when |
hauled out, and as pale as ghost. Cow |
cred as he was with snow, he was an object |
which would strike terror into the mind of |
any superstitlous person. 1t is well to have !
a good length of fuse when you are escaping |
from blast in deep hole.

comp who got it when these two were gone,
the makeup and foreman, the editor, poor

blacker than thunder, twas harder than
poverty, rougher than sin; from the roller

tapped on the wall like banner of tin. 1t

tougher, and daily put on a more mixer
hue, until one windy morning, without any

Historian: People who think of Finland
as subarctic CT untry of bleak and forbid
ding aspect may be surprised to hear that
several railroads have already made large
part of the region accessible. A new line,
l6O miles long, has just been opened to the
heart of the country, III the midst of great
forests and perhaps the most wonderful
lake region in the world. Sportsmen are
now within days journey from st. Peters
burg of central Finland, where there is the
best OF hunting and fishing and 20 hours of
sunlight every summer day: The most
unique of railroads, however, is still the
little line IN Norway. north of the Arctic
circle, carrying the product CT far northern
mines to the sea, apd famous as any rail-
road that has yet invaded the polar regions.
