CASE OF VICE VERSA
WITH LOGS
MILLS AND MillMEN WELDING
scEPrRE TO THE loooERs AND
cAMPs-LuMeERMEN GIVING
PLACE TO THE riMseRMAN,

In conversation with well known
logging magnate OF Astoria, yesterday,
a reporter OF the Astorian was duly
impressed with the remarkable change
that has come over the relative i'm
portance OF the logging and milling
business Of the northwest.
According TO this man Of logs, who,
by tha way. has been logging here
about since he was a kid" the log
ger some few years ago. used to ap-
proaeh the miilman timorously. and
beseechingiy, and take his ha; of beA
fore he entered the mill grounds. and
beg the arrogant lumberman 10 take
his logs of his hands at almost any
figure the latter eondeseended 10
nane: and the lumber king would
probably offer him sAOo or s5.5o
thousand. and in lordly fashion bid
the seller Of logs TO turn his logs into
the mili-boon. and that they would
be scaled whenever he happened TO
find time; generally. after the logs
had been run through the mill and into
the yard. and the logger would have
to content himself with belated ard
beggarly estimate. In which ~culI" logs
figured with too abundant quotation.
The logger. then. was the supplIant,
the second fiddle" in the numbering
world, and took his medicine like
little man however big and stif the
dose. But now. according to this jolly
and successful autocrat Of the log
ging camp and logging railway. the
shoe Is passing to the other foot. Tae
miliman leaves his luxurious Office and
digs out into the woods and begs be-
fore he buys. and when he buys. he
pays the loggers figure and pays It
on the lcggers scale. OF course the
timber prince allows the lumber
princeiet to stand around while the
scaling is going on. just TO note how
perfectly the measurements are TAX
en-, thus choking Of. once for all. any
kicks the buyer. may think he has
coming: and when II comes 10 -culls,
they 20 into the mIliman's boom on a
basis OF from 50 to 50 per cen, on
the $40. sl2. or s14 per thousand.
charged him for good logs.
And the mill man has TO send tug
up into the hidden world controlled
by the logger. and tow his own pur-
ehase out and put it into his own
mill boom: and he generally passes up
his check for part, or all the pur-
chase price before the logs leave the
camp-side And this jolly old logger
says 1t is very likely that next year
the millman win have to send his own
gang into the camp and cant his logs
into the stream and hoam them there
for transportation.
Thus speaketh the veteran logger.
who knows the craft from A. to T.,
and who is enjoying life immensely.
as he watches the shifting Of the mill

he Is full OF "reminiscences entirely ap-
propriate TO the occasion.

ailiing Strength

A weak and exhausted con- dition usually follows over work, too close confinement, or unusual mental strain. Every day a certain amount of vital ity is consumed, and if not re- plenished by sleep, rest and nourishment, soon wrecks the nervous system. The results are sleeplessness, headache, indigestion, imperfect circula- ton, etc, which affects the organs of the body.
 Restore your nerve strength your vitality, with Dr. Miles Nervine, and your whole sys- tenn will recuperate. Your sleep will be sound and re- freshing, headaches will dis appear, and digestion improve.
