A MONSTER TREE.
A Fir Tree on Puget Sound Yields
Nearly twenty-five Thousand Feet
of Lumber.

Records for the amount of lumber
sawed from one tree, from one acre
and from ten acres have been shat
tered this spring by the cut made
from ten acre tract of land on the
north shores of Puget Sound. The
log scale shows that 5,1OO,766 feet
was obtained from sci trees in a
ten-acre tract, or an average of 510,-
076 feet to the acre.
The figures of this remarkable cut
were compiled by Robert B. Allen,
editor of the Pacific Lumber Trade
Journal.
This cut is the most remarkable
in the history of the business" said
Mr.. Allen. 1.-The record was accur-
ately kept by the mill company con-
Quoting the logging operations, and
the record acre of the ten yielded
just 5S5, 04S feet, as compared with
a normal average of $4,000 feet to
the acre. On this particular acre a

GROVER CLEVELAND.

In the passing of Grover Cleveland
the people of the United States mourn
the loss of public man whose services
the value of which are yet to be de-
termined.
OF his public services, as attorney
and sheriff of Erie county, New York,
mayor of Buffalo, governor of New
York state and twice president of the
United States, his best and most en-
dearing monument is the fact that he
ever struggled for the principle he
believed to be right, regardless OF
where it took him.
His most strenuous political OPP
ponents have always admired the man,
even when most contrasting his meas
ures, for the very reason that the hon.
esty of his purpose was fully under
sood. The United States in several
ways are the better for Grover Cleve-
land having lived.

SOL WING A PROBLEM.

If there is one problem which has
presented tough front to the settlers
of this Coast, it has been the PROPOSE
ton of how to clear up its logged off
lands. The tenderfoot and the unvac-
cinated have taken contracts to clear
up logged off lands at a hundred dol
lars or more per acre. Most of these
contracts resulted in loss or bank
ruptcy. 1t is easy enough to spend
$25 in labor and dynamiting one big
stump. Logging engines have been
used quite successfully, reducing the
cost of blasting and hand labor very
largely. The cost, however, remains
excessive. There is in operation,
twenty miles south of Tacoma, ma
chine which is doing the best and most
economical work, in clearing up logged
off lands, that has so far been invented.
This machine is on the farm of F. L.
Mead. 1t is simply 4-horse power
horizontal boiler and engine, used to
drive 30-inch blower. The air from
this blower passes into a square cast
box and is tapped with twelve one
and d half inch hose couplings. To
each of these is attached about fifty
feet of = inch three-ply hose which is
taken around to stumps within the IA
dius it will reach. The nozzle of the
hose is supported on crutch. A
small fire is started in the base of the
stump, and the blast is turned on it.
1t Immediately becomes roaring vol
cano. The blast is turned SO that
the fire will burn gap through the
stump, perhaps one foot in width.
After the stump has burned and fallen
into the burning, the hose still con-
w OloW Oil UllC IdIlCS anu Nl-
reefs them along the course of the
heavy roots. 1t will burn these
roots out below the blowing line. AZ
ter the roots are burned out as much
as possible, the blastis turned on the
body of the stump, which is quickly
devoured. A four-foot fir stump can
be burned up in from ten to twelve
hours. Mr.. Mead estimates that he
will clear up the heaviest timber land
at a cost not to exceed $35 an acre.
This is something that will stand in
vestigation, and should prove of I'M
tord value to the Coast states. West

career by gettin' into railroad accident that

nine year-old boy and what damages she could
collect from the railroad.
Now, to look at that face of Pyramid Gordons.
YOU guess that hard luck tale of this kind would
dent his soul about hard stabbin an alligator
in the back with piece of custard pie. I'm on
good terms with him myself; but l wouldn't want
the job of inducln him to shed for the benefit of
widows and orphans at large. Yet what he does
for some one he knows. Just because the late
Baynes had planned on moving back among his
folks and having the boy educated there, Pyramid
jumps in and carries out the program at his own
expense. Seems he'd been payin' all the bills for
as a sausage skin is full of meat. And when Pyra-
mid gets word that the job is finished he sends pas
sage money and invites Lambert to take a run over
so they can talk about what he'll do with it all.
He's expected that afternoon too.
Mr.. Gordon don't blow much; but it's easy to
see he's good deal set up over the way Lamberts
turned out. Not having been any nearer college
himself than the ninth grade of the grammar, he
feels that he's kind of got there by proxy. He tells

How many readers have heard OF this
terrible disease? 1t prevails in that
far-away country-Africa--e specially

the bite Of The tsetse fly. When it
bites a person, lie sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful,
balmy sleep of health. Is there any
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet, hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short Of letting the tsetse
fly bite us we would do almost any
thing for relief. How can we pre-

THE GYMNASIUM.

This evening the Commercial asso-
ciation gymnasium will be reopened
with a competent physical director in
charge. The season opens with prom
ise of better success than has attend
ed the institution during any of the
three years it has been operated.
This opening of the gymnasium is
not a matter of light importance,
though to the average man it seems
of little moment. Physical culture is
an essential thing in modern life. 1t is
not merely matter of sport. 1t Is
a matter of good health and OF hap
piness. Bodily culture is now being
taught in the schools. 1t should be.
But it is a subject that may be taken
up with equal profit by business men,
society matrons and others.
The Pendleton gymnasium is one
of the best equipped establishments
of the kind in the country. 1t has
been of much benefit during the three
wears since it was established. But it
will be of still more service if more
people will take the instruction offer
ed. Patronize it.
