The Tie Contractor.

TBe Son was very favorably inclined
toward the tie contractor when he first
made his appearance in the country, be-
lieying that he would be a benefit in the
way of creating a market for our sur.
plus pr bdnce and not a menace to the
preservation of our timber. Experience
teaches us that be buys and ships in
his own goods. and that 'his men are
compelled to buy of him at greatly adj
vanced prices over what the same goods
could be purchased of local merchants.
What the tie contractor does not get OF
the tie mans wages generally finds it's
way into the saloons and the country is
harmed rather than benefited by his
presence in that line.
Experience also shows that the tie
contractor is liable to fitch timber from
ihe government when he gets n chance
and that he is an autocrat when it comes
to driving our streams, tearing out dams.
headgates and bridges with i%mpunity. in
all Of which the law protects him. All
things considered our average tie con,
tractor is a man not to be desired and
we ardently long for the day when he
will take his departure from our midst.
