camp 1 am visiting is that of the Sultan
Railway and Timber Company. 1t took
out A,OOO,OOO feet of lumber last year
and will take out 100000 this year, or
enough to plank roadway as wide as

This company deals only in logs. It's
business is to cut down the trees and to
saw them into sections, which are hauled
10 the water front on Puget sound. AL
most everything is done by machinery.
Railroads take the place OF horses and
donkey engines and steel cables draw the
logs through the woods to the tracks.

easily than the cog engines take one up

ried us on to the camp.
Our way was through these mighty
fir trees. which rose from $50 to 800 feet
above us. and which in some places were
so thick on the ground as to almost shut
out the light. Some of the trees were as

are different from those Of the east, and

Uncle Sans Mig Lumber business
Few people realize what our lumber in
dustry means. Uncle Sam gets more out Of
his woods today than any other country.
We are producing almost one-hah OF all
the forest products turned out upon earth.
The annual output OF the world is about
81 800, 1900, and of this 5000 100000 comes
from the United States. Next to us stands
Russia, which, when not numbered with
revolutions, sells one-third as much as we
do; then comes Austria, which produces
about one-sixth as much. and France,
which produces about one-elghth. Norway
and Sweden rank about even with France.
Australia is getting about S2500O,00O year
out of its woods, and Great Britain about
100000. The most of our lumber is used
at home. and more and more Of the home
product is coming from this part OF the
world. A half century ago the chief source
OF supply was New England. then the great
lakes regions were opened up, and until
1890 they had the lead. In 1860 we were
getting one-sixth of our lumber from the
south, but the war paralyzed that industry
and it did not pick up again until along in
the SOS.
Now about one-fourth of all our building
wood comes from the southern states. The
Pacific coast did little in this respect be-
fore 1880, and these vast lumber regions OF
the northwest were not exploited at all for
years after that. Their active life began
when James J. Hill showed that he could
carry shingles and boards across the CONT
nent on the Great Northern railroad and
sell them at a profit in the east. From
that time to this that road has been get

objects OF the Annexation:

The purpose of the meeting of the post
masters is for mutual information and con-
ference as to the best methods OF 'improv-
ing the postal service both in the city and
country. The question box was an in
structive feature of the meeting and
touched all phases Of the postofice service,
with particular reference to the growing
money order system in every office. and a
further effort to secure a more uniform
system of reports, TO advance the merit
system and endeavor by appeal TO the
members of congress to secure better pay
for clerks in the larger offices common
surate with their abilities.
AS a rule the postmasters comprise the
foremost citizens of their respective COM
munities, both in a business way and So
cially. They come in constant daily con-
tact with the residents of their commun-
ties and are better informed regarding the
growth. needs. prosperity and adversely
of the country than any other class OF
citizens. The postmasters attending the

few hours after cutting before It was ready
to be loaded on the cars.
Loading Lumber with Cables.
All the lumber here is loaded with cables
by means of steam engines. The cables are
ropes Of steel as thick as a broom handle
and a mile or more long. They are carried
through the forest where the logs lie and
are wrapped tightly about them. One log
at a time is dragged over the ground. Many
Of the logs are so heavy that they plow
great burrows in the earth as they go and
sometimes tear up smaller trees by the
roots on the way. A single forty-foot log
will often form full load for one car,
some containing as much as 5000 feet Of
lumber. Many of these logs are as big
around and as long as a passenger car, and
when green will weigh from twenty to
forty tons each. Nevertheless, a steel cable
moved by the engine brings them up TO the
track. The log looks like great live worm
swaying its head this way and that as 1t
goes.
When It reaches the cars another cable is
wrapped around 1t and II is lifted as
though II were a broomstick from the
ground to the truck 1t is all a matter OF
