4 bill has been introduced into
Congress to provide for the coinage of
q two and a half cent copper coin, and
is received with much favor in the

of this proposition it is said that our

growing demand for it in the various
lines of business. The government
has discontinued the coinage of several
coins that were formerly in more or
less general use. We once had Il half

Ira III. Randall of the Augusta Lum-
Der Co, has just returned from the
woods where the operations of that
company have been carried on during
the PAST winter. The Augusta Lumber
Go. has already 100000 feet of lum-
Der at the landing, more than its COM
plete cut of last season. In addition
to this they have about $4,000 feet
which remains where it was cut. This
will make about 100000 feet for its
total cut of the season. Mr.. Randall
regards the company as very fortunate
in having such a large share of its cut
at the landing before the recent rains.
Many of the companies have large
amounts of lumber right where it was
cut with but little or no prospect of
getting it to the landing. Mr.. Randall
does not share the idea of some, how
ever. that the companies will eXper-
fence difficulty in driving their logs
on account of lack of water. High
water incident to the melting of the
snow is necessary for the work, but
he says there is still about three feet
of snow in the woods in the north
country which will furnish water
enough to bring the logs down the
stream.
