Mckay Fined $4,000.

Postmaster Mckay pleaded
guilty in the United States Court
on Thursday of last week to a
technical violation of the postal
regulations and was fined 800.
His otflense was in paying person
al obligations in postage stamps
although he paid the government
for the stamps. His friends al
lege that factional politics was
back of the prosecution
We suppose his kindly CO.
workers in the cause of the ''big
stick" are satisfied now that they
have prosecuted him criminally
and taken the postollice from him.
Mckay still has his newspaper,
and he will make the "fur fly"
from this out.

The Junior Class of the Logan
High School htd little "settoo"
Monday that netted them half
holiday and much speculation,
1t is said that one of the number
of that most interesting class was
suspended from school without a
chance to explain misunder-
standing that arose between him
self and the instructor. The
class as body, asked for such
"hearing" and being refused, they
"struck." The next day the
gentle, falling snow had cooled
their ardor sufficiently to insure
the return Of the class with their
suspended member, and now the
episode is beatae mem077ae.

HOW VENEER is MADE.
An Interesting Industry Found
Lumber Centers.


How veneer is manufactured is q
mystery to the majority of people.
The industry is not only one of the
chief occupations of Mattoon, Wis,
but an exceptionally interesting one
also.
After a tree has been cut in the
woods and brought to the mill on
fiat cars it is rolled into a pond
near the mill Logs are hoisted
from the pond to drag saw, where
they are cut into various lengths.
They are then put into steam box
for at least twelve hours in order to
soften the timber. This steam box
is a large box directly behind the
drag saw, into which the timber is
piled. A two inch pipe containing
holes through which the steam can
escape passes through this steam
box. At the end of twelve hours
the timber is removed from the
steam box, and then comes the proc
ess called peeling. With spuds and
axes the bark is removed easily, for
the timber is soft now and red hot.
1t is then ready to enter the mill
and be cut into veneer.
The peeled log is hoisted on a
crane to the veneer lathe, and that
is the last one sees of the log. When
it once passes this lathe it comes
out on the other side in long, thin
sheets of veneer, According to
thickness desired, it is cut from
one one-hundredth of an inch to
one-half inch thick and sixty-four
inches long.
AS the veneer leaves the machine
1t slides along a table thirty feet in
length. Ten feet from the end is
the clipper, where it is clipped into
different widths, an inch being al
lowed for drying. 1t is now ready
to enter the drying process.
The drier is eight feet wide and
100 feet long. 1t is chain driven
machine throughout, having four
sets of rollers. In order to heat
this drier there are 10000 feet of
one inch pipes passing through it
above and below each set of rollers.
The temperature must always be
from 900 to $50 degrees. Veneer
is put into the drier at one end, or,
in other words, fed to the drier.
While the veneer slowly moves
through the machine it is also dried,
so that it is smooth and dry, but
very hot. The men in charge of
the veneer at that end always wear
canvas gloves to prevent their hands
from becoming burned and blister
ed, while the perspiration runs free
ly from their faces. II takes from
fifteen minutes TO two hours for
veneer to work through this drier
one way.

Tourist Club.

The Tourist Club met with Mrs.
F. M. Mckay last Thursday after
noon and had q most interesting
and entertaining meeting. Mrs.
Phil Rochester presented a very
able paper on "The Industrial
Home for boys and girls"-Roll
call was "The Home" and some
beautiful thoughts and readings
of both prose and poetry were
given in response by the me embers.
Mrs. Mckay served delicious
two course lunch. The Club will
do themselves proud this year and
compliment the husbands with a
banquet at the Ambrose Hotel
Dec. 90.

is known as Une glue room. Here
veneer is glued together for furni-
ture factories, bordering panels for
dressers and glass backing
The machine known as the hy-
draulic veneer press is ten feet high.
The veneer that has been glued for
panels or glass backing is placed in
this machine, and by pressure of
water in tank beneath it slowly
forces the veneer together until it
is firm and dry. Then it is removed,
packed and shipped. - Milwaukee

TUNNEL ADVENTURES.
A Fox Hunt In Which a Locomotive
Took Part.

A very strange incident happened
in the Severn tunnel recently. Just
as an express train entered the tGn
mel soldier in third class carriage
flung open the door and attempted
to jump out. Fortunately one OF
the passengers succeeded in scizing
the mans coat tails and with The aid
of other passengers held him there
head downward. They could anot
pull him back, for the suction was
too great. The communication
cord was pulled, the train stopped
and the rescued man, who it APP
pears had suddenly become insane,
was placed under arrest.
This is not the first exciting Incl
dent which has happened in the
great boring which carries the Great
Western railway beneath the bed of
the Severn. Some five years ago
Cardiff commercial traveller went to
sleep in train bound from Cardiff
to Bristol and, waking with shock,
found himself lying in pitch dark
ness beside the permanent way in
the tunnel.
How he got there he had not the
faintest idea. Probably he had walk
ed in his sleep. AT any rate, he was
not much hurt, though he had evil
IDENTIFY been unconscious for some
time. He had not the faintest idea
how far it was to the entrance nor
which way to go. Soon he became
violently thirsty. lie heard water
trickling down the wall close by, but
when he collected some i'll his hands
he-found it was salt.
He made brave effort to find
his way out, but dizziness came on
and he fell unconscious AS he lay
there another train passed, and the
poor man must have had desper-
ately narrow escape, for it was
found that his left boot heel had
been cut off and his ankle sprained.

Some winters ago Welsh tunnel
was the scene of most exciting
episode. One day in January, 1902,
the Carmarthenshire hounds found
fox, which made at first straight
for the coast, but, being turned by
some villagers, took to the railway
line and ran into long tunnel, fol
lowed by the whole pack. The mas
ter, Mr.. Harries, realized the dan
ger to the hounds and at once fol-
lowed them.
He was fully a quarter of mile
down the tunnel when roaring
sound behind warned him that a
train had entered the tunnel. AL
most instantly the glare of the
headlight lit the dripping walls, and
the horseman, clapping spurs to his
horse, began to gallop at full speed
through the darkness. Then fol-
lowed most exciting race for life,
the man riding at the pitch of his
horses pace, the train laundering
in pursuit.

kept his feet, but the train gained

Many hunters would set the kit
fox or swift above the greyhound,
especially for short race, but [
have had no personal experience
with the species in chase. The
little prairie cottontail can, be-
lieye, get away from the swift in a
hundred yard dash. They cannot
keep it up for long, but their ini-
tial velocity is incredible and baf-
files the eye. Not leg, not rab-
bit is to be seen-nothing but
white streak across the prairie, till
it promptly disappears in some bur-
row.
What actually counts in the race
is, as usual, the triAe more speed
that each animal can command.
For example, the gray wolf makes
$50 yards to the minute and the
coyote about ZOO But those fifty
yards make all the difference be-
tween living and dying. That fifty
yards margin is probably the foot
hold on which the whole coyote race
has been built up.
1t is well known principle that
the special development of an ami
NAL is its most variable part. Thus
the peculiar bell in the throat of u
moose varies enormously, the bill
Of the long billed curlew, the neck
feather of the ruff, the spots of the
ocelot, the white bands of the skunk,
the horns of the elk, are so varied
that rarely two are found just alike.
Speed is one of the peculiarities Of
the coyote, "a it is of the greyhound,
and we must therefore look for
great variations of rate. | have Sc
lected an average for my ealeula-
tions, but there are occasional indi-
yiduals, coyotes of rare gifts, whose
speed and endurance would put
them very near the top of our scale,
