The Timber Cruiser, Who Spies Out the Forest

the halcyon days of numbering in
/ the Pacific Northwest the railroad
and the big sawmfIl company wont
into the forest and acquired stumpsEs
by the township. The business In those
good old days was carried on by the
wholesale. But times have changed
sadly and the virgin forest where
townships and even counties could be
taken by the first conner no longer
exists The unbroken tracts OF tim
Der have given way to the slashings
and the burnings, and the ruthless
hand OF civilization has been laid on
the one-time fastness.
Wherefore, with the changing of
times and condition. there has come
more and more into the limelight a
character who has always been q ne
cessity, but who now becomes indis-
peusable; who is literally the forerun-
ner OF civilization and the main prop

1t cannot be disputed that, while the
law has done much to protect the tim

there are hundreds. even thousands, of

he is doubtless we'll aware that many
of the claims will ind their way into
the possession OF tho lumber company,
and the locator will get perhaps $1,000
for his trouble. In these days It IL the
common practice for persons who have

and soon many are started in tho di-

Having sought out and sized up
new territory the next concern OF the
cruiser is to get people started that
way. This Is done in a manner that
comes easy because of the eagerness of
people to seek claims. The word gets

went by the board, and the spars bat

the seas. Presently the seams Of the
ship began to open. | knew then
that it was all up with her, but by
that time all the crew were aft. A
smother of icy water was washing
clear over US, and though we tried
to cut away the wreckage of the
spars and mizzenmast we couldn't
make It. The old bark was water
logged, and the seas swept her from
stem to stern. We clung to the life
raft, and when morning came we tried
10 make a raft which would carry
US TO the Vancouver Island coast, but
the task was q fearful one. However,
we did manage to lash some of the
floating lumber and spars together, and
felt a faint CLEAN of hope that we
might yet be saved when a comber OF
a sea came rushing along and took
our raft off. After that we gave up
hope, but finally we knew that the
Beale lighthouse keepers had seen our
distress signals, and so we waited. We
didn't know then that 1T would be a
woman who would save u.s. but 1t was.

we feel When we saw the .Quadra a

Mr.. BENDIxEN IN TOWN.

Hon. C. M. Bendixen, representa-

came up from Morgan Monday fore

here he met Hon. B. H. Timberlake
OF Minneapolis, chairman of the

Mr.. Bendixen is quite friendly to
Mr.. Johnson's candidacy, but is in
no ways tied up, and he is wisely
pursuing the reserved course, pre-
ferring to wait until he gets on to
the ground before making a final
choice. He has some excellent ideas
on proposed legislation and is anxious
to be in a position where he can
spread his ideas in the most effective
manner.
