SEVENTY-FIVE FEET THROW.
Plank 3x22 Inches and 26 Feet LOna
Takes Long FIy.

What might have been serious mat
ter occurred in the Michigan mill last
Thursday. AS it is all concerned are
congratulating themselves on the out
come.
A saw log had been dragged into the
mill, placed on the carriage and squared
into timber 22x22 inches and 26 feet
in length. The sawyer noticed pitch
ring about four inches from the outer
edge of the timber. so arranged to cut
his planks accordingly. A three-inch
piece was being cut off, and it WAS pre-
sumed the pitch ring would be cleared
but the ring did not extend evenly
through the log and the saw cut into it.
Thus weakened, the piece which was be.
ing sawed broke off loose from the re-
mainder OF the log, and the force of the
revolving circular saw sent it whirling
out through the log chute. Three men
were standing near, but no one was in
jured.
The piece thus thrown out OF the mill
was 3x22 inches and 26 feet in length.
So great was the force with which it was
hurled that it did not touch the chute,
instead clearing it and sticking in the
mud. The timber was thrown dis
tance of fully rs feet.

FOR HARbOR
IMPROVEMENTS
GEORGE H. EMERSON OF HOQUIAM
ON The SUBJECT.
Thinks Commercial Bodies Have Been
Lax in the Matter of improving
River and HarbOr. Major L. A.
Abbott Has Something to Say on
This important Topic.

Hon. Geo. H. Emerson, of Hoquam,
sent the following letter to the Wash
dngtonian:
HoouIAM. Wash, Dec. s, 1905.
The Washingtonian, City:
Gentlemen-It would seem that the
commercial bodies of Grays Harbor have
been lax in their efforts to obtain from
the present congress the appropriation
so much needed for the improvement OF
our entrance.
Our bar always deepens with the win
ter freshets, but shoals again with the
coming summer.
Surveys have been made, and we pre-
eume plans have been perfected for
further work by tho government, to give
us permanent channel and continuous
deep water to sea; but it appears that
our plans are likely to be frustrated un-
less the commercial bodies OF Grays
Harbor get to work without further de.
lay, and our engineering department
makes its recommendation.
This lack of effort is called to the at
tention of Grays Harbor people by a
telegram received from Congressman
Jones last evening, which says in sub
stance, that "our engineering depart
ment has made no report as to the neces-
sity of our jetty, and that this report
must be forthcoming Immediately or
nothing can be done.

The debating teams of the Aberdeen

TO HARBOR IMPROVEMENT.

Is to Help Ourselves. Suggests q
Scheme That is Well WOrthy the
Consideration of GrayS HarbOr
People.
EDITOR HERALD:-

EDITOR HERALD:-
Knowing that the policy of congress
for several years has been to improve
only the Columbia river bar in this Sec
ton, l. deem it my duty to state that
without the house committee of congress
has or does change its plans it will be
impossible to get the appropriation of
$6OO.OOO recently recommended for i'm.
provements here through that commit.
tee. This information is given in order
that the Harbor community may take
such action as it sees fit to help in
getting the measure through that com.
mittee.
l further wish to say that while the
body OF eminent men who meet annually
in favor of yearly appropriation Of
$50, 900, 900 for the improvement of rivers
and harbors is the most influential body
l have seen outside Of congress, it is
doubtful if such measure is adopted
until the Panama Canal lie finished, or
even the usual appropriations for rivers
and harbors is made without the govern.
ment changes its policy.
l also desire to say in connection with
this community bonding to help i'm prove
the local waterway bar that this section
is only yet in embryo: that in probably
five years. time the valuation Of assessa.
BILE property here will have doubled,
which will reduce the tax on dollar
one-half for ALL public improvements,
and probably in ten years. time the tax
of five mills on dollar for waterway
improvements, in case the community
did bond, would have been reduced to
one mill or less on dollar; and who
ever held such bond would not want it
taken up If in condition to keep il, and il
it was. others would be eager to get it.
This will work the same in regard to all
other bonds for public improvements.
Finally, word to the wise should be
sufficient: "Nothing venture, nothing
have" Yours truly,
L. A. ABBOTT.

Anent the foregoing, Major l.. A. Alb
bott has the following to say:
G. H. Emerson's letter IN the Bulletin
of the 14th inst, relative to the Boards
of Trade on the Harbor being dilatory in
taking proper action towards the i'm
provement of the outer bar, in view of
all the facts in the premises, is some-
what amusing. It shows conclusively
that Congressman Jones probably never
before took any interest in obtaining an
appropriation for the improvement of
the bar, for i he had he wonld know
that it has been the policy for several
years of the chairman OF the house com.
mittee on rivers and harbors not to grant
any appropriation for Grays Harbor inn
proyement, but to favor the improve
ment of the Columbia river bar instead.
1t shows too a woeful ignorance Of the
true status of the bar question here mex
cusable on the part Of either Jones or
Emerson. The special engineer board
of survey held on this harbor and other
waterways in 1908, recommended en-
phatically the further improvement of
our bar, but for some nnaccountable
reason the board was ordered to recon-
yene early in 1904, when it just as en-
phsticallv reversed its former recon-
mendation, which is not only very sur
prising but almost unprecedented, and
the boards proceedings were approved
by the chief OF engineers. Such being
the case it was probably out of the ques.
ton for Major Chittendon to make an
estimate for building north jetty until
ordered to do 80 by the chief of engineers,
80 it was no fault OF the major that his
estimate was not sooner sent to Wash.
ington. In this connection, if the $780,
900 obtained by the strenuous efforts of
Major Abbott for the improvement OF
Cow Point, in 1900, had not been hung
up about four years in order to get it
diverted to Hoquiam, the entire inside
channel would have been completed as
we'll as the south jetty by January 81 ,
1904, and it i'll becomes one who was in
strumental in doing more harm thereby
to the improvement of the local Water
way than all others together since any
settAshent on it to be over critical of
those who understand its exact status.
A little more consideration in Hoquiam
from 1900 to 1904 would have resulted in
depth of water enough after 1904 over
and inside the bar for all commercial
deep water ships to have reached Aber-
deem to date, for those were days when
it was comparatively easy to get appro-
priations for the Harbor. Would it not
be we'll hereafter not to put men on COM
mittees to meet government officials who
by reason of having been unduly med
dlesome are offensive? These facts are
known as we'll in Washington, d. c., as
here in the engineer department. Such
things are never forgotten there. Rest
assured if We do our part here in trying
to get appropriations through congress
sional committees the engineers will do
