The Cause OF the Delay.

The train for Wood River points
left Shoshone ono hour late, to day,
but it failed 10 reach HALEY. About
noon . dispatch WAS received from
Shoshone stating that there was some
thing wrong with the engine, and q
new locomotive had been ordered.
1t is probable that the locomotive
was damaged in the wreck, Yesterday
and that tho injury was not made
manifest until after the train started
up to-day.
LArER.-The train returned to
Shoshone at O'Clock with another
locomotive. 1t reached HALEY At
O'Clock this afternoon.

base scaffolds have to be erected and the
tree cut off above the spurs, Which leaves a
stump from ten to fifteen feet high, q waste
of the very best wood.
While the work of telling and hewing is
in progress other gangs are employed in
making roads and bridges over which tn e
logs are to: be hauled to the river. One
WIDE truck pass. as they call it, is made
through the center of the district occupied
by the works, and branch roads are opened
from the main avenue to each tree. The
trucks employed are clumsy and antiquated
think of using. The axles and boxes
are imported from England, and the
other parts of the truck made on
the ground. The wheels are of solid wood
made by saving off the end of a log and fit
ting iron boxes. in the center. No tire oil
slant requisiton, and repairs cause frequent
and
EXPENSIVE DELAYS.
Most of the trucking is done at night by
tOrchlights made of pitcl-pine. The oxen
are fed on the leaves ana twigs of the bread.
nut tree, which gives them more strength
and p0Yer of endurance than any other OBJ
! tainable food.
The trucking is done in the dry season
and the logs collected on the bank of the
river and made ready for the floods, which
occur on the longest rivers in June and
July and ON all in October and November
The logs are turned adrift loose and caught
below near tidewater by bO0ms. Indians
and CARDS follow the logs down the river in
jutpans to release those which are caught
by fallen trees or other obstacles in the
river. No little Judgment and experience
is required to determine at what exact
stage of the flood the logs should be let
loose. Should the water rise at what they
call "top-sallaDt flood" before the logs
reach the boom many of them would be car
Tied over the banks and left high and dry
in canebrakes and thickets or covered up
by sand and rubbish. From the boom the
logs are fafted to the embarcadero and
manufactured for shipping.
The manufacturing process consists in
saving off the log ends which have been
bruised ana splintered by rocks in the
transit down the river, and in refining and
renewing the logs by skillful workmen, who
give them a smooth and even surface.
The logs are then measured, rolled back
into the water at the mouth of the river
and made into RATS to be taken to the vessel.
which is anchored outside Of the bar. This
Is laborous and risky operation. often re-
sultiDg in serious losses to the shipper or the
owners of the vessel, according to the Con-
ditions of the bill of lading. Irresponsible
natives construct and conduct the RATS to
the vessel, and il frequently happens, espe-
cially in bad weather and by gross careless
ness that logs break away from the RATS
and are carried away out to sea, to be de-
posted finally on the shores of these islands
or the mainland. where they are eagerly
appropriated by the natives and utilized for
shipbuiiding, furniture, and so on.
