screeching and putting and Wheel
ing away at their work. and the
rattle of chains and the shouts of

mark that his road was arranging
for handling the output of one
lumber firm which had under con-
sideration the manufacture of To-
DOC, 10000 of feet of lumber. He
said:
"Only forty per cent. of all red
wood lumber is clear, and only
the clear lumber is shipped east.

here on the coast. When | a
