LOggers and Mills.

OcosrA, July 5.-The old dispute be-
tween the loggers and the mills on
this harbor over the alleged injustice
in the scale of logs claimed by the log
gers was aired during the recent term
of court at Montesano. The case was
the Northwestern Lumber Company,
defendant, and one of the loggers,
plaintiff. g.:
Some time ago one of the principal
loggers on the harbor failed in bust
ness, and the assets, among other
things, consisted Of lot of 800 logs,
and these were covered by liens held
by some twenty laborers, who sold the
logs into the hands of trustee for all
concerned.
So far all seemed satisfactory, but it
was later discovered by the men that
the state scaler had actually rejected
400 logs in the scale, and that, not
withstanding this, the company had
appropriated these logs with the rest.
A bad feature also in the case was
the position of the state scaler, who
had been an employe of the company
for years. The company had sold 200
of the toughest of the logs to another
company for an average price of 81
per thousand. This was the market
price of logs at the time. All this
came out on the witness stand.
The state scaler claimed that really
no logs were rejected, but that he
would in scaling select two rough logs,
scale one full and reject the other.
But this explanation made matters
worse, for out of 1900 logs there had
to be 1912 culls.
The rafters, who were also present
to testify, stated that they were order
ed to select the 200 logs sold by the
company, taking the toughest, and
the purchasing company's superin-
tendent swore he purchased coarse
logs. So the steal was, to the loggers,
conclusive. The state scaler had not
used the scale required by statute and
had succeeded himself in office for
years by the solicitation of the mill
company. This, too, was a glaring
defeat in affairs to the men.
Notwithstanding all this, a non-suit

for IL is set there and the carriage
drawn up at the door in case sbouId

ton of Wales to the average English
man, for although almost all of the
welsh towns are merely ten-hours'
ride from London, there is, perhans no
other country in the world lying SO close
10 the center Of civilization of which so
ilttle is known to the outside world.
Book stores may load their shelves
with volumes on all subjects, but few
books will he found among them ON this
quaint, quiet and perhaps most pic
turesque of all countries. The fact is.
Wales is not much visited, is lightly
spoken of and little read about-not
having produced Walter Scotland
perhaps these circumstances have done
much to preserve the place in it's typical
state and enabled the people to cling to
old-tlme superstitions, customs and
language and to present to visitor a
unique and refreshing flavor wholly its
own.
