Those persons who think that all Of the in
ventive genius in the valley IL all possessed by
the Yankee are much mistaken and it would
only take one look at perambulating steam
sawmil owned by n Canadian Frenchman
named Fontaine 10 convince them OF their err
ror. The outfit consists OF an old lumber
wagon, on which Fontane has mounted
kerosene engine and "a barrel to contain wnter
for his boilor. At the rear OF the wagon n
frame projects hey ond the back wheels, and
on this is mounted circular saw, which is
belted TO the driving pulley on the engine. In
the morning the man bitches horse TO tho
wagon and starts out in search of some one
who has bought cord or so of wood and then
been suddenly taken i'll with a spinal trouble
which prevents them from using the wood
saw. These cases are not hard TO find, and
when the man strikes customer ho drives
into the yard, unhitches his horse, lights his
fire under the boiler and in a short time the
wood Is sawed and its owner happy. The man
can saw about two cords of wood an hour, and
as he has plenty of customers and receives 90
cents a cord for saving, the venture has
proved paying one.
