The San Francisco call., 1903-12-23


large proportions, with the Key monu-
ment in the background. AS a winter
scene this will appeal TO the fancy of
the people of the East
The daily moving spectacle near the
corner Of Third and Market streets was
thrown on the screen. Cable cars came
and went. The motley procession Of
vehicles of every description that is
familiar sight during all daylight hours
on secular days passed along with the
men and women and children of the
city, getting through the breaks be-
tween the carts and wagons and cross
ing Market street as best they could.
A traveller could not see Market street
any better by standing on the spot in
dicated.
There were views of the flight of the
Sunset Limited for the committee to
see; Of staging upon the mountain
grades in California: of fruit picking;
Of the hop fields at Pleasanton dur
ing the gathering of the crop; of har-
vesting on California ranches with
great machines drawn either by trac-
ton engines or by multitudes of mules;
Of hydraulic mining in Placer County,
etc These had. no necessary relation
to San Francisco. All the views We're
run through that the committee might
determine what there was in sight that
could be used, the understanding be-
ing that the Southern Pacific Company
would do what it could to aid the COM
mittee.
Among the views of industrial ope-
rations on the Pacific Coast there ap-
peared one that is the only example
Of its sort in the world. 1t showed
modern lumber mill at work,
huge log, more than five feet in
diameter, went through the mill and
was cut into planks by machine hav-
ing saws so set that they cut both
ways-when the log was going and also
when it was coming toward the spec
tators. Heretofore the darkness in mills
has made il impossible to make salts
factory interior pictures for the bio
graph. Even in mills where there were
no sides and only the overhang
ing roofing TO interfere with the
light the biograph has failed. Some
tine ago Mr. Mills learned that mill
in course of construction, owned by
J. r. Potter and located at Pokegama.
in Oregon, just across the California
State line, was saving lumber in the
open: in fact, it was providing the
building lumber to cover itself. Mr..
Mills secured there the effective use of
the biograph. Several leading lumber
men Of California We're present with the
San Francisco committee in the Or
pheum yesterday, They admired this
unique view.
LARGE TREES FALLING.
The actual cutting down Of great
trees for lumber was witnessed by the
audience. There were eXclamations as
the towering trunks fell to the ground
and sent UP clouds of dust. Then there
were seen traction engines drawing
trains Of logs to the mill through the
cIearings in the forest and down noun
tain grades and trains of cars drawn
by locomotives piled up with logs or
sawed lumber. The successive steps in
numbering were pictured, from the cut
ing Of the trees TO starting the pro-
duct to market by rail. The numbering
pictures that were exhibited will be
shown in connection with the forestry
exhibit of California at ST Louis.
Something more than an hour was
nassed by the committee inspecting the
moving pictures and also in seeing
some stationary views on the screen.
