SEA RATS.
Piles of Timber Shaped Like a Cigar
as Big as an Ocean Steamer.

as Big as an Ocean Steamer.
Sea RATS, which are peculiar to the
Pacific ocean, made of timber for pill.
ing and for telegraph poles, are shaped
like cigar and are of enormous size
The timber is cut in Washington and
Oregon and until recently was shipped
to central and southern California In
sailing vessels and steam barges. The
expense and the limited capacity of
these vessels led to- the designing of
the sea RATS.
While they are of different sizes, the
smallest usually contains at least 5000
pieces of timber ranging from eighty
to a hundred feet in length and from
eight inches to nearly two feet In
diameter at the butt. Consequently
some Of the RATS made In this peculiar
fashion are nearly as long as the lar
gest transatlantic liners, measuring no
less than $50 feet from end to end.
So compactly are the poles arranged,
says writer in the Southwest, that
the greatest diameter is not more than
sixty feet, but the enormous weight of
the wood forces a raft down In the wa
ter until the highest portion is rarely
more than ten feet above the surface.
To fasten such a raft SO that 1t will
withstand the force of the seas to
which it is exposed no little engineer
ing skill iss required AS the cigar
shape offers less resistance to the force
of the waves than any other this has
been adopted.
To move this unwieldy bulk two
powerful steamers are usually employ.
ed at sea, one for pulling directly
ahead and the other to aid in keeping
the raft in the right course, especially
In rough weather. But comparative
ly small portion of the surface Is ex-
posed to the seas. Otherwise 1t would
be impossible to transport the timber
in this form.
On the other hand, the uepth In the
water allows only very slow rate of
speed to be maintained The average
time required between the Columbia
river and San Francisco. for example,
$50 miles, is from ten to fifteen days.
according to the weather
The Columbia river RATS are put to-
gether at a town called Stella, which
Is located in the lumber country about
forty miles from the mouth of the
river. These RATS are the largest
which have yet been transported down
the coast.
One which was sent to San Fran
cisco contained no less than 100000
linear feet of lumber to be used for
wharf piling If the piles which IL
contained were stretched in a row
they would actually extend distance
Of nearly fifteen miles.
The majority of these RATS have
been safely taken to their destinations,
although one or two have gone to
pieces. Where such accidents have oc-
CURED the mass of timber has covered
the ocean for distance of many miles
and has formed very dangerous men,
Ace to navigation.
For this reason an effort has been
made by other transportation COM
panies to have law passed in the
states of Washington and Oregon pre-
venting the building Of the sea RATS
on the ground that they are menace
to navigation. Thus far the agitators
of this movement have been unsuc-
eessful
