sound and the Columbia river, the
wonderful forests of Oregon and Wash
ington and all the processes involved
in Western methods of manufacturing
lumber from the time the ak is first
put into the standing tree until the
finished products are ready for ship
ment.
The excursion was due to the efforts
Of the Washington Lumber Exchange
and the Manufacturers Association of
the Northwest, organizations composed
of the prominent and progressive mill
men of the west. A great deal of in
terest was aroused among dealers, as
many appreciate the fact that Oregon
and Washington possess almost half
the timber standing in the entire coun-
try and will be important factors in
the future operations in the lumber
business. The red cedar shingle of the
Pacific coast has practically driven
those of white, pine and cypress from
the field, and at present the demand is
greater than the production of all the
mills. Under the direction of the
OCC1lI4C COllllllIlGt a uGllSuLLul OSly w tl0
spent upon the sound. Port Blakely,
where the largest mill in that country
is located was one Of the places visit
ed. Four hundred thousand feet of
lumber is the average cut in ten hours,
and vessels gather there to take the
product all over the world; sometimes
thirty are loading at the long dock at
the same time. On this occasion one
ship was chartered to carry timber to
South Africa for the gold mines, an
other was bound for China, third for
London, and others to the Sandwich
Islands. A visit was made to the
government dry dock at Portland, Ore,
the largest in the world. 1t was built
entirely of fir timbers, and was conse-
quently an appropriate thing to show
a party of lumbermen. From Tacoma
the party made it's first excursion into
the forests, for which the region is
noted, and spent an entire day in the
timber. The St. Paul and Tacoma
lumber company took them to their
logging camps. The fine logs, some 80
and 100 feet long, to make timbers for
foreign shipment, were greatly ad-
mired. A frequent topic of CONVEX
sation was the prodigality in western
manufacture, when compared with
similar work in Michigan and Wiscon-
sin, where nothing is allowed to go to
waste. Many remarked, as they saw
logs rejected in the woods, or the ref
use material in the mills, that enough
was thrown away to make a fortune in
the east. The time will undoubtedly
come when everything will be utilized
in this section, too, but now there is
such a wealth of timber that nothing
but the best will be accepted.
The effects of the Klondike excite
ment were frequently mentioned. Mill
managers said they would have no men
left if they had enough money saved

A enlnen for Prlnters, Error,

1t is well known that a guinea is
given to any person who is the first to
point out printers error in an Oxford
Bible. This, it may be confessed, has
involved correspondence with persons
in all parts of the world; and it may be
well to state that such antiquated ex-
pressions as f'bewray" and "astonied"
are not regarded as printed errors.
They appeared in the original edition
of 1911, and are deliberately retained
by the authorities. Before they are is
sued from the Oxford press, the Bibles
are read and re-read, sometimes a
dozen times in succession. The result
is that the printers error bill only
arV)unts on the average to five guineas
year; and, as a rule, errors discovered
are never more serious than drop

that many were boarding their wages
so as to make the trip to Alaska in
the spring, Some men who had work
ed in the mills for years had returned
with ten-gallon kerosene cans full of

land and the Columbia river were NOT
neglected in the itinerary. One dav

to looking over the unique plant locat-
ed at Bridal Veil, Ore. This little town
is noted among lumbermen on account
of the novel way in which logs and
lumber are transported, and mapv who

Persons thinking of devoting them
selves to a literary life for the money
there is in it may proftably note the
granting of pension by the British
government to the widow of Anthony
Trollope, who is in straitened circum-

menr employee, and had salary to re-
enforce his literary income. Litera-

Electrical Dentistry.

A recent application of electricity to
produce anesthesia in dentistry is thus
described in the Boston Transcript:
The up-to-date American dental sur
geon has a very simple apparatus
which consists most Importantly of a
battery not much bigger than a cigar
box The battery has a queer little at
tachment called a vibrator, which is
nothing more or less than a short strip
of metal fastened at both ends. When
the current is on, the strip vibrates at
such rate of speed that it huns. The
operator tunes it up with a tuning
fork until it gives out the note A;
then he Knows that the current is just
right, The person in the dentists
chair grasps two handles which are
connected with the battery by wires.
At the same time the operator seizes
his forceps, which likewise are on the
end Of wire proceeding from the bat
terry. He touches the tooth, completing
the circuit, and instantly a local anaes-
thesia is produced. The tooth and
neighboring gum are rendered, for the
moment, insensible to pain, and out
comes the offending molar or incisor
with dexterous twist. Before the pa
tient has had time to realize what has
happened, he is gleefully paying the
fee"

so much curiosity expressed that the

to very many people. Celluloid is made
by the combined action of pressure

To dare one to a thing is an in
cipient form Of sending a challenge for
mortal combat, and is often criminal
in intent and disastrous in result. On

had offered a plate of ice cream to the
boy who would hold his arm longest in
the chopped ice of the freezer. The
prize winner lost his arm; all the eff

save 1t. To accept dare is not to
write oneself down hero.

The Propagation of Plants.

There are numbers of plants growing
in very elevated regions where the
period of warmth is extremely short
that multiply in a most curious fash

ripen seeds, the plant throws OF a
series of buds which almost imme-
diately take root, and in their turn
become strong, growing plants, ready
in their turn to scatter the germs
broAdaast over the soil.

HER DIVORCE HER PLEA.
MRS. MARY e. PRETTYMAN FILES
AN ANSWER TO THE CHARGES
MADE BY HER EX-HUSBAND-

Peter L. Cooper, Jr., has filed in the su-
perior Court the answer Of Mrs. Mary
l.. Prettyman to the charge against her
contained in the narr filed by her ex-
husband in his $4,000 suit against Ed
win p. Williamson for alienation Of her
affections.
Her pleas are not guilty, statute Of
limitation and actio non, because dur
ing the session Of the General Assem-
bly, she obtained an absolute divorce on
the ground of cruelty. desertion and
abandonment. That her husband re-
piled to the charges, denying them, and
that she thereupon put in additional
evidence which sustained the divorce
committee in granting the divorce on
May 26, the private act now being a
matter OF record at the Court House.
IL is believed that Mr. Prettyman will
reply by declaring that he never had
proper notice of the legislative divorce
proceedings.
