portion of the work of supporting this
mountain of lumber. The sea, in which the
raft Is submerged to two-thirds of its
height, has the major part of the task. 1t
is when riotous seas break against the
raft and tumble the giant block of wood
childs toy craft. that the muscles of iron
must needs tighten their hold upon the
mass.
Launching n Log Raft.
To the eye of the unprofessional observer
the log RATS which are nodded on the Pa
cific slope are even more interesting than
the lumber structures just described. Ger
tainly the method OF building them is
stranger. Instead OF growing in the water
like some colossal specimen of aqueous
vegetation, these log RATS come into being
in what are aptly called cradles" A
cradle" bears a very striking resemblance
to the framework of a modern ship as 1t
stands on the stocks with ribs and back
bone exposed awaiting the putting in place
OF the plates which are to sheath 1t.
From this monster bed by the sea the
completed raft must be launched, just as
would a ship. fairly representative log
raft is fully 62J feet in length, at least 55
feet wide and nearly two-score feet from
ed where the water is at least twenty-five
feet deep; in other words. it can only enter
harbors which are capable of accommodate
ing the largest battle ships.

floor OF house. and held together with
powerful bolts and bars, the whole mass
presenting the appearance of an immense
wooden box floating in the water, sub
merged at times nearly to the lid.
The other species consists of a small
forest OF tree trunks so tightly held to-
gether by huge chains that from distance
a person might we'll mistake the object for
a gigantic whale. While having many
points in common each of these raft de-
signs fulfills special mission, and in each
case the work of construction constitutes
an industrial marvel
How They Are Built.
One of the larger size lumber RATS ap-
pro2ches 40 feet IN length, and IS over 30
feet in width. 1t weighs nearly as much
as a score of railroad trains, locomotives
and ALL and If the 100000 feet of lumber
which are bound up In it's vast bulk were
loaded into railroad cars OF ordinary size
it would make train a mile and a half
long. A raft of this kind is commonly
built at a dock of the ordinary type, such
as may be found by the dozen IN any mari
time city.
A skeleton framework Of timbers, look
ing for all the world like an old-fashioned
farm gate with its lateral and cross-pieces,
Is laid upon the surface of the water. be-
iuss held in place against the face Of the
dock Upon this seemingly fimsy founda-
ton layer upon layer OF the fresh, Clean
odorOus boards are laid, a stratum of
planks lengthwise being topped with Sec
ton arranged croSswise. and so on alter
n&teiy throughout the entire height Of the
towering structure. Piercing the whole
mass at comparatively short intervals are
shelter shafts Of iron held In place by
other similar shafts. utilized as cross
braces. and the slender framework topped
with bolts as large around as a mans arm.
This metal creation Is the skeleton Of the
raft; the lumber constitutes the flesh.
When the construction OF a raft first COM
mences these fine lines Of iron present a
very strange appearance, towering above
the level OF the adjacent dock and stretch
ing away like an almost endless series of
horizontal bars. such as acrobats perform

higher and higher within the cage the
sharper lines are obliterated until there Is

great wave will go through steel as a bull
let goes through paper. Because OF TINS
there has been not little agitation among
ship owners against this type OF rart.
There was an especial cry of protest when
one of the largest RATS was disrupted at
sea a year or SO ago, but no active steps
have ever been taken to restrict their con-
struction. The first lumber raft ever con-
structed encountered a severe gale while
on her way to San Francisco and broke
square in two, but the tugs which were
towing the mass, after severe struggle,
succeeded in getting both sections INTO
port, and that, too, with the loss OF very
Insignificant part of the lumber
1t is seldom that a raft is torn 10 pieces.
Often when attacked by high VINO ana sea
the tug or tugs will cut loose, keeping in
sight of the raft until moderating weather
makes 1t safe for them to resume the tow
This process involves the danger OF the
raft being washed upon the coast and
pounded to pieces; but in the open seas
these craft can live through any but the
most violent storms, SO scientifically are
they built
A Raft in Transit.
One tremendously powerful tug or several
of smaller size are used to tow one of these
big RATS. To pull such a bulky mass re-
quires the strongest line known to COM
meree. Occasionally ropes, each as thick
through as a mans body, are utilized but
more often there is employed wire hawser
similar in appearance to one of the chief
strands of a suspension bridge.
In the case of a lumber raft small crew
remains on board during the trip, the men
being housed in g. rude shanty on the deck
or top, but no men are stationed on pile
or log raft during the voyage. This is, &C
cording to the owners, simply because there
is no need to place men In so hazardous a
position. The builders of pile RATS claim,
for that matter, however, that the trip
could be made with perfect safety, If only
the weather were suspicious. and they even
contend that, the RATS being pointed at
each end, with hull outlined and construct
ed to buffet the waves with the ease Of a
sailing vessel, they could, if fitted with

True worth Is in being, not seeming.
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good-net In the dreaming
OF great things to do by and by.
For whatever men say in blindness,
And spite of the fafees of youth,
There's nothing so king1y as kindness.
And nothing so ro5aiEas truth.
We get back our mets as we measure
We cannot do wrong and 5feel right.
Nor can we give pain and gain pleasure,
For justice avenges each slight.

OF tightly punching together a bundle OF
fagots and fastening them securely, but in
reality there is considerable knack about 1t,
tor the mass must be rounded out with
precision and -apered down at the ends, in
just the proper degree. Very few Of the
logs or piles which go TO make such a raft
are less than sixty feet in length, and one
OF these great bundles may comprise any,
where from 1900 to 1900 logs. The raft
thus approximates for its contents some
100000 feet OF piling. To the casual reader
this might appear insignificant as compared
with the 1900, 900 feet of lumber which can
be crowded into one of the other style of
RATS, but 1t must be remembered that in
this case the measurement Is Of trunks OF
trees themselves, whereas in the case Of
the other raft 1T is represented by cOmpar-
atiyely thin boards. An idea of the magni-
tude OF one Of the larger log RATS may not
better be conveyed than by the explanation
that such structure embodIes more piles
than could be carried in a dozen of the
largest sailing vessels.
The great object of the raft Of either kind
is saving In freight charges, and the
giant noatlng bundle of piles accomplishes
this to perfection. The entire cost of con-
structing one of the biggest RATS does not
exceed 5000. and this in spite of the fact
mat II keeps force of a dozen men busy
Tor -FOUR months and occasionally for dou-
bic that length Of time. The secret of the
wonderful economy is found in the fact
that the Item of labor constitutes almost
the sole expense. The only other items of
sAOt arc IOuilO III the HIST cost OF
the cradle and the purchase price for about
d mile OF the heaviest iron chain.
A Dangerous Business.
Or course, the handling of the raft dur
ing Its sea journey is the ticklish part of
the whole contract. A heavy gale may
separate the great. unwieldy mass from
Its powerful little monitors. the Tugs, when
1t Is. OF course, at the mercy of wind and
wave. Or the terrible might of the waves,
which the strongest structure of human
hands cannot resist, may disrupt the bound
logs and resolve the great craft into its
original elements. Such catastrophe
means peril to every vessel along that
stretch OF coast. A sixty-foot. log fsung
