first to Visalia, visited the Sequoia Mills.
He selected a tree which met his require
ments and engaged the company to cut out

THE TREE HAD TO BE UNDERcUT.
The outer portion was removed by axes,
and it was then sawed in the center.

| giant of the forest, one side was raised by
steel wedges, and when it reached the
| ground there were crash and a vibration

The tree fell clear of the stump, was per-
| fectly sound. without fire-marks, and the
| bark was unnjured. At the height of 24O

sixty men could form in circle around the

TIE PosrorFIcE REMOVAL.

To ths EaltOr Of the REGISTER:
SIR:-As was mentioned in Tuesdays
REGISTER the postofiice is to be remoy-
ed. The postmaster corroborates this
through last evenings INES, which
gives his reasons for moving the office.
They are, first, TO get closer 10 the w. IL
l.. L. railroad since they are carrying
mails so as to save the mail carrier; and
second, because he is,afraid OF the river
flooding him out. Now we don't say
that the change is not for the better,
but why did our postmaster not think
OF these terrible floods in past years and
not wait until he sees the
necessity Of getting into the good
graces o. the Poorman faction
whom he has always fought so bitterly.
Now he, no doubt, thinks by renting
from the good Judge, who has always
been a warm supporter Of Col. Poorman,
that his past deeds will be overlooked,
and if the Colonel and the Republican
administration are successful he will
still be continued in Office. He will
have to make a bigger stride this time
than he did when he left the Holdings
worth camp and induced his comrades
to follow hju1 into Col. Faylor'e, when
he found out that Taylor was the
stronger Of the two. REPUBLIcAN'n
