Going after the Logs.

The Port Blakely Mill company has
taken up all the track on the old line
of the Puget Sound and Gray's Har-
Dor railroad, from point four miles
west from the summit, and extended
the main line twelve miles in a north
western direction, crossing both of the
eastern forks of the Satsop river and
penetrating belt of timber known as
the Pennsylvania timber lands. 1t is
said that cruisers have pronounced
this one of the best belts of fir timber
in the state. The trees are tall, large,
and straight There is scarcely any
underbrush in the whole tract.
Parties have ridden. all over it on
horseback. It is estimated that there
is one thousand million feet Of prime
timber in solid body.
The last bridge across the Satsop
was to have been completed Saturday.
The road is now finished five miles
from the starting point above men
toned, with three miles more graded.
The balance is partly completed by
sub-contractors. 1t is expected to
have the entire line finished ready to
haul logs by July l.
There are about six million feet of
logs at the roll-way, midway between
New Kamilche and Kamilche. The
company is now building twenty new
cars at the shops at New Kamilche.
Some time ago the company ordered
two new locomotives from the Stearns
Manufacturing company, of Erie, Pa,
and a man has been sent to bring

SCHOOL NOTES:-A resident of De-
watto some time ago asked the school
board of his school district to supply
his children with the necessary school
books on the ground that he was un-
able to purchase them himself. The
board refused, and he appealed to
County Superintendent Gunderson
who confirmed the boards action.
Still not satisfied, he appealed to the
State Superintendent. Wednesday
that officer returned the papers, con.
frning the decision of Gunderson,
and he will have to buy his own school
books. We understand he has property
on which he paid over $50 in taxes
last year. However, the law should
provide for supplying indigents.
Notices are out proposing to establish
a new school district west of Shelton
about five miles. It will take four
sections from the Shelton district. S

D the question as to the value of
the various nutriments, Prof. Armsby
says that Their equivalency has been
assumed and made the basis of the cal
culation of rations, simply because, in
the lack of all evidence. this was the
only practicable method. 1t is quite
probable that this assumption does not
involve any very great error except,
perhaps, in the case OF cellulose: but
the actual comparative value Of these
substances can be determined only
when We know, first, how much latent
energy is liberated during digestion .
The study of this subject can
hardly be said to have begun, and the
only object in mentioning it here is to
show how provisional are our present
methods of estimating the value of fod-
ders, and TO guard the reader against
the error of considering them final and
conclusive. They are of great value,
and have rendered very important SER

grossly erroneous. At the same time

from an intelligent over-estimate of

A certain peasant and his wife, In
Germany. were married on the same
day as the emperor and empress, tho
peasants Christian name being Will

born on the same day as the crown
prince, after which they had Ave other
sons. each of whom was born at the
same time as the five younger boys Of
the emperor. The royal couple were
informed Of this and were exceedingly
interested in the very strange coinci-
dence, but this interest was intensified
when, on the last occasion OF q royal
birth--viz, the little daughter Of the
kaiser-it was learned that the peas

Hen and Horse Fight.

A Dexter gentleman claims to have
seen a battle between horse and
hen recently, says an exchange. More
oddly matched contestants can scarcely
be thought of. Into neighbours or
chard, where horse was feeding, an
old hen led her flock of chicks. Just
what began the fuss the gentleman did
not see, but probably the chicks made
themselves too familiar with the horses
feet. The horse began kicking at the
old hen with all its might, and with
the prospect that If he could only hit
her once poultry would take a sudden
rise in her vicinity. The pluck Of the
hen was something wonderful. The
chicks scudded out Of the way, but the
mother fiuffed out her feathers, ran her
neck out straight before her, and DART
ed for the horses heels whenever they
struck the ground. She pecked vicious
ly at them, but the odds were against
her, as the heels We're pretty sure to be
missing by the time she got blow
we'll aimed. The horse labored under
the same difficulty. He would back for
the hen and take aim at her,and she
would change base before the cyclone
struck. For much fuss and effort and
little effect the battle furnished an
unique spectacle. Both sides quieted
down after time, and the old hen
marched off with her chicks, clucking
vociferously, which was doubtless her
way of impressing them with the fact
that she was not afraid of the big
gest horse in Trotterdom."

A BANKERS VIEWS.
(From Cincinnati Exprsss-Gazet.e.) }

tFrom Cincinnati xrress-GaZette.)
Mr. Morris NJ. White, president Of
the Fourth National Bank ut Cincin-
natl o., is 4 representative authority
on banking matters. He is probably
at the present time enc of the most
influential men OF finance in the west
ern country, and his opinions are re-
ceived with the greatest regard by the
banking and cCllinercial pablo. For
several years he was president Of the
National Association OF Bankers, and
the members OF that associati ton, en-
bracing all the banks oe consequence
in the United States, will cheerfully
join in tribute to his ability and
honor. In Cincinnati, where Mr..
White is best known, he is appreciated
by The public, because of his good.
strong commoa sense.
L Il very pleasant interview which
the ditor of the Express Gazette had
with Mr.. White recently, he very
tersely expressed his disapproval of
the agitation which originated among
few bankers against the express
money order. Mr.. White very candid
ly stated that he looked upon the
money orders issued by the different
express companies as one of the best
instrumentalities in the promotion of
commerce that has been devised, and
that, far from antagonizing it, he was
in favor of promoting it. His idea is
that express money orders are, after
all, simply business competition of
express companies with the post
office department. in the remittance of
small amounts, and that, if there were
any reason or sense in Directing to
the express companies issuing such
money orders, that same objection
might apply to the rostotfice depart
ment. Mr.. White also stated that,
these orders being generally issued in
small amounts, as matter of fact the
banks should not object, because it re-
lieved them from the responsibility CT
issuing small drafts, which were not
only embarrassing, incouvenient, and
Improbable to them, but very often
opened the door to forgery and less.
Mr.. White further stated that he
looked IL ,on the relations between the
banks and the express companies as
being of mutual and cooperative
character-that the service rendered
by the express companies to the banks
was not only necessary, but so indis-
pensab BILE that he did not understand
why they should be in hostility
towards them. Last of all he remarked:
"Whateyer benefits the general busi-
ness of the country also benefits the
banks; and as the express money order
is such great convenience To the
development of that business, l am
certainly in favor of it"
1t was indeed gratifying to hear
such talk from a representative banker,
and the candid views that Mr.. White
expressed ought to teach an object
lesson to the few bankers who have
deemed it duty to antagonize great
public CONFERENCE.-The express money
order. Talk like this indicates sound
Judgment and the reflex of profound
experience.

than creamery, as the maker has
the means of controlling the feed
given to the cows and the handling of
the milk all the way through. The
creamery buttermaker, on the other
hand. has to contend with patches of
than the average of what is produced
by his patrons. 1t is true, one reason
for the lower rank Of dairy butter is
the lack of uniformity, which hurts its
sale in the open market. This fact Is
often not thoroughly understood by the
dairy farmer. Take 100 tubs of dairy
butter-good, bad and Indifferent, with
an average score of 80 points, and they
will seldom be sold as high as 100 tubs
of uniform creamery butter scoring so
points. This fact alone, not to men,
ton the saving of labor and the posi-
bilities and economy of the very best
appliances in the creamery, should be
sufficient to encourage the farmers TO
cooperate and establish more creamer-
les. Take the conditions in England. III
the farmers were to cooperate there
1t would be all the worse for the Danes
and Americans, just as the stronger and
more extended cooperation in the west
Is proving such hard competition for
the east. 1t is not only the cheaper and
more fertile lands of the west, 1t is the
more enterprising spirit which adapts
itself quickly to new systems, new ma
chinery. And why? may be wrong,
but it seems natural to me that older
communities are slow to undertake re-
forms. Just consider the case OF two
young men. One goes west and starts
untrammelled by the traditions OF what
his father and grandfather has done,
while the other has to face the adverse
criticism not only Of his relations. but
that of every one Of his neighbors. LIS
there no excuse for his letting improved
methods alone and jogging along In the
old ruts of his forefathers? Nor must 1t
be supposed that the reform in the west
which is not completed by long shot
has been carried out. before the farm
ers were. so to say, starved into it. In
Dakota l asked a patron of creamery
how many cows he MIXED; he replied:
Two last year. ten this year, and / will
milk more next year." When, in my
enthusiasm, l slapped him on the
shoulder, saying: You are the man OF
my heart" he added, with queer
smile: But 1 had to be starved into
it," The truth is that the most sue
cessful creameries are in the districts
where the continuous wheat crops have
reduced the yields, and the low prices
the profit to starvation point. What
little | have seen of the eastern farm
Ing. where enormous sums are spent
on artificial fertilizers, makes me be-
lieve that only by an intelligent CO.
operation in dairying will the "aver-
age" farmer get out of the dismal
swamp of Improbable farming. There
are enough isolated cases of unquaii-
fell success to prove this. While l do
nos desire to be understood to advo-
cato the total abolishing Of private
dairying, l do firmly believe that the
establishing of more creameries in the
east will prove a benefit to the farmers.
Creameries-when properly run-aye
centers of education which soon spread
a better knowledge of cheap milk pro-
duction, and better understanding of
true cooperation.
