NEW LOGGING ROAD.

KELSO, Wash, August 1.-THE Shev-
lin Timber Co., has GO-day option on
the Tongue Point Railroad which runs
out from CarroIlton several miles and
is used as a logging road. If the Shev-
lin people buy the road, which is very
probable, the line will be extended up
the Coweeman nine miles from its pres
ent terminus Once extended it will
probably be added to until all the tim
Der on the headwaters Of the Coweeman
will be tributary to the road. Exper-
i"cca has demonstrated that logs can be
handled cheaper and quicker by rail than
by water, and in this stage of progress
siveness a railroad is the thing to bring
logs to market and fiji an urgent order
for some particular purpose.

It is a method OF cooking that has
