! .. 4. HANSON, Clerk
J. F. Cline, North Bay logger, is
in the tolls for the larceny of a boom
of logs belonging to one J. H. Davis,
being bound oyer to the Superior court
of Pierce county. 1t appears that the
Steiner Zephyr lost a boom of logs
last March while towing them to the
Tacoma mill from Shelton, and DAVIS
picked up forty or fifty of them and
beached them in Taylor's cove. I'm
der the law, if no one claims the logs
under Is days, the one who RECEIVERS
them is entitled to ownership. Davis
held them till September, but in the
meantime Cline learned that they
originally belonged to Frank William
son, and he exhibited receipt for
SIS for clogs lost out of boom of
steamer Zephyr last March," Cline
took the logs and sold them to the ST.
Paul mill, which now holds them,
while Davis goes after Cline.

Two miles of railroad iron have been
taken up the Peninsular Railroad to
Joe Simpsons camp, where it will be
laid and used IN the hauling of the
logs. A new plan is now being tried
in several localities whichyis expected
to eventually do away with the horse
teams in the woods altogether. By
means OF donkey engine, a big grip
wheel and cable, mounted on a fiat
car, the logs are handled very easily,
anG 1t is said much cheaper than by
the horse teams. This idea is now in
practice at Grisdale's camp near Mat
lock, and must be satisfactory or it
would not be introduced in the Simp-
sons camps on this road. The old time
autocrat of the ox-goad is relic of
ancient history, and soon the horse
teamster will be backnumber in the
logging camps of Puget Sound.
1t pays to trade where you have the

The Satsop farmers have been max
ing ready for the storage of their in
creasing crops each year, by the build
ing OF large barns. Four haye been
constructed this fall, by Joseph Valley
John Culliton, Robert Germalne, and
William Killroy. 1t is quite noticeable
among the farmers of this section that
they generally have fairly large and
comfortable barns, some of which are
even better than the houses The
farmers are learning that it pays te
house their stock comfortably in win
ter, rather than let them stay out and
suffer from cold, and the stock comes
through the winter months in GOOD
shape.
