The Daua and Richardson Lumber
Go. have new scheme. which was tried
for the first time yesterday In plling
heavy hard pine lumber which is unload
ed from schooners. Formerly this lum-
Der had to be piled by the use Of der
rick which it took four or five men to
operate Now the Dana g. Richardson
90. have built at the base Of the derrick
small house which is fastened to tie
main stick of the derrick 30 that the
swung on it's pivot. In this house is
placed strong electric motor and this
furnishes the power for hoisting, so that
1t can be piled. This scheme gre att ,
facilitates the unloading of lumber and
is great saving to the company in the
hiro of help. The motor was put up by
the Maine Electric Co. and the scheme
works like charm. The power to
operate the motor il obtained from the
Consolidated Electric Light Co.
