Railroad without Cars.

In the forest of Bridal Veil, Ore, not
far from the Dalles, there is rail-
road which does business without cars.
An article in the Northwestern Lum-
herman, describing the work of this
company, has a picture of "train" on
the road, which consists of an ordinary
locomotive, such as are common on log
ging roads, and string of logs, each
log being as large in diameter as the
boiler of the engine, or larger. Boards
are nailed to the sleepers between the
rails, and on these the logs slide. Ex-
cept on descending grades, the boards
are CREASED, and the train moves at
good speed. Where the road is level
or slightly ascending, the engine pulls
the logs, and where it is descending it
holds them back. At the mills of this
company the manufactured lumber, re-
CARELESS of size, is run into fume,
and this is carried about two miles to
the planning mill and shipping yard,
the fume descending in that distance
about 1900 feet.
