LOGGING RAILROAD RAvAeEs.

How the Forests of the Lumber States
Are Being Rapidly Denuded-
The rapidity with which the forests
of the remaining lumber states are be
ing denuded of their trees is something
which calls for not only earnest protest
but prompt state or national interior
ence. The introduction of the logging
railway has done much to accelerate the
slaughtering.
Under the old method of numbering
the destruction of the forests was sure
enough, but it was slow in comparison
with the work as now carried ON in the
regions where the logging roads are in
operation One of the roads now tap
ping the great lumber region at the
headwaters of the Mississippi river will
illustrate the case. The pine trees are
cut down in the same manner as under
the old method of work. They are
loaded upon low sleds called ''go-devils''
and drawn to the side of the railroad
track, where they are piled up awaiting
the loading.
Formerly the logs were hauled to a
certain point and there loaded upon
great sleds which carried the logs to the
bank OF some adjacent stream The
logs were unloaded upon the streams
| icy surface and allowed TO remain there
until the ice broke up in the spring,
when the logs would be f1oated down to
the mills. The logging railroad does
| away with all this. 1t runs directly in
| to the timber country, and then
| stretches out spurs in every direction,
| four, five or even ten miles in length,
each spur tapping a separate region.
Thus it makes no difference whether the
timber is located alongside a stream or
| not The lOcrS are loaded llDOn the cars
On one of these spurs and drawn by
stout engines down to the main track
from which the spurs diverge. Here
| long logging trains are sent out to some
point down the Mississippi, perhaps IS
miles from the spurs
| The trains are un1oaded directly upon
the Mississippi, and the shipment down
stream from this point in the spring
is rendered very easy. The cars are
wide, short affairs built expressly for
the logging trade. They are supplied
with air brakes, for sometimes the
grades are heavy, and if one of these
| trains of so or sometimes 35 loaded cars
| got away from the engineer, serious re-
suits would be bound to follow. The
engines are small but powerful, some of
the Observation-Disclosures, as they are
| called, in use in mining work in the
| mountains being used.
The estimate made that in ten years
there viii not be left piece of available
timber in the state of Minnesota if the
Indian reservations, containing vast
quantities of timber, are opened up to
the ak, seems to be rendered all the
more probable in view of the enormous
energies of the logging railroads.-Har-

A Curious Mausoleum Recently Discov-
cred in Saxe-Altenbure.
One of the most curious mausoleums
in the world was discovered recently
in an orchard at the village CT NoeD-
denitz, in Saxe-Altenburg. a gigantic
oak tree, which storm had robbed
OF its crown, was up for public auc-
ton. Among the bidders happened to
be Baron Won Thummel, scion of
family of ancient lineage that has
given the world of literature one
charming poet and the fatherland
MANY distinguished statesmen. The
baron, who lives on a neighboring es-
tate, had ridden to the auction place
quite accidentally Finally the tree
was knocked down to him for 2oo
marks. Upon his arrival at ths castle
ne told an old servant of his purchase,
describing the tree and it's situation.
The old servant said he remembered
attending the funeral of a Baron Thum-
mel 10 or so years ago, and that the
body had been buried in thousand-
year-old oak, belonging tc the parson"
age Investigation clearly proved that
the orchard had once been the proper
ty of the village church. and that at
enc side of the old oak was an iron
shutter, rusty and time-worn, that the
people of the town had always sup
posed to have been placed there by
some joker or mischievous boys. The
ron shutter proved to be the gate to
the mauscleum of Baron Hans Will

ter of the state of Saxe-Altenburg, who
died in 1924, and wished to be buried

Earon Hans caused to be built a sep
ulchre of solid masonry, large enough
to accommodate his coffin The coffin
was placed there, as the church records
show, on March 3, 1924, and the opening
was closed by iron CRATE. In the
course of time wall of wood grew
over the opening, which had been en-
larged to admit the coffin and the work
men, and for many years it has been
completely shut, thus removing the
last vestige of the odd use to which
the. old tree had been put. The trey
has still some life in it, and it's rich
verdure is only now turning a violet
tint. The coffin in which Baron Hans
reposes has on one side grown to the

A SHY DANCER.
Stories Told by Westerners of the Antics
of the Sand Hill Crane.

Stories Told by Westerners of the Antics
of the Sand Hill Crane.
The sand hill crane is a very bright
bird. Its very name is synonymous
of vigilance and alertness. 1t feeds on
the treeless plains or in the barren
wheat stubble, where it can see long
way beyond gunshot. Or one of a flock
is posted as sentinel, and this bird
stands, with bill half open, ready to
give an alarm. 1t can be killed by de-
coying it with pasteboard figures cut
to proper size and shape and painted,
but mounted birds are better. a pit is
dug deep enough to conceal a man, the
decoys are put out, and the cranes are
shot as they come over. The best re-
gion to shoot them is in the Columbia
river watershed and south of it in the
Pacific coast states.
When one shoots bird of the size and
build of crane in midair it collapses,
like cardhouse or a tent. But such ap-
parent collapses are sometimes decep-
tive, as, for instance:
Before / could reach him he scared
off into the air with wheeling flight.
Again he hit the ground with fearful
violence, but again he got on his feeT-
Running up, thinking to get him alive
for a decoy, tried to tap him on the
head and stun him. He showed fight.
and 1 used my gun as backed off, and
he took to his wings"
The sand hill crane is something of
a fighter of men if wounded, and the
only safe crane is dead one. Their
bills are long and sharp. and are capa-
BILE of putting out a mans eye
The sand hill crane has some curious
habits that make him of more than
passing interest, to the student of birds.
Out on. the prAiries parties of them
have balls in the spring, to which the
select birds seem to be invited. These
balls are picturesque, affairs from the
human standpoint. There are curious
dances, which are sort of solitary
waltzes or pretty slow jigs- Sometimes
the birds leap over one another's backs
and flop their wings, giving their pecuI-
lar cry. Sometimes rival birds have
fierce duels. using their keen bills like
lances, battle axes and swords.-Rec-
reation.
