BRANCH TO FOREST T|MBE ER
SO Says the News Of tn at
Little City.

We have the news from reliable
authority that in the very near
future work will be begun on q
round house, q machine shop and
eight small cottages. These
buildings are oil to be located in
Vollmer about 300 yards east Of
the depot. The round house and
cottages will be Of . permanent
nature, which means that quite a
pay roll will be meted out eac
month to employees of the rail
road, most of which will in turn
be spent with Vollmer merchants.
In establishing the cottages for
the use Of officials and in building
the round house here it is evident
that it is the intention of the com.
pany to make Vollmer a division
point and also to make it the
principal shipping point for this
whole upper country.
1t also strengthens the repor
current at various times that as
soon as the line now under con.
structiOn is completed work will be
inaugurated on q branch line out
Of VOllmer to extend out into the
heavy timber belt in the vicinity OF
Forest, Idaho. If such is the cas-
then it is also evident that it means
the maturing the plans of big
eastern Lumber Comany to invade
the forest of Craig Mountain and
bring the raw timber to Vollme el
and here, to be manufactured into
the finished product. If the signs
are interpreted as the handwriting
reads it means that in a few years
Vollmer will have population ex-
ceeding the five thousand mark. 1T
means that the real estate holdings
will be worthy many times their
present value and that all the ad-
vantages Of a commercial city will
accrue to the people of this prairie.
The people of Vollmer heartily
welcome the present move of th+
railroad officials.-Ne ws.

from the rich rock and another
move will be started that will de.
termine the character OF the ore

superintendent Joseph Thorn
states they are getting one ton Of
concentrates for every 80 tons Of
rock treated, or little more than
one ton for every "a hours the mill
runs. 1t is costing cent . pound
to get the concentrates TO Sites
and Mr.. Thorn said that owing to
the heavy expense In getting the
values from the concentrates, his
company is anxious to proceed
with development work, for il is
the size Of the ore bodies and the

Blankets of Bark.

In Ecuador. one of the South Ameri- can republics. the bark of tree which grows on the slopes of the Andes is utilized for the making of blankets. The blanket is over six feet long and over five feet wide and is as soft and pliable as though it were made of fan mel. It is about the thickness of a good flannel blanket and can be rolled up and put In a strap without hurting or injurlng if. This tree or bark blan- ket Is merely strip of bark cut from section of the trunk of the blanket or demajagua tree. The Indians make q cutting around the trunk 10 get it, and they prepare it by soaking 1t in water until it is soft It is then pound ed so that the rough outside can be stripped on and the inside alone left. The inside is of fine fibers so joined together by nature that 1t makes a beautiful blanket warm enough to be used as a cover and soft enough for a mattress.

PUBLIC PUNISHMENT.
fAs Days @ the Whipping Post,
 Stocks and Braudinu Irons.

Stocks and Branding Irons.
 Up until the end of the war and . little while after the whipping post and stocks stood not far from the north west corner of the courthouse and be- tween that building and the present postoffice, and there the last whipping took place, though as it began it was sought to be, stopped by federal off, eer. The sheriff was, however, simply carrying out the mandate of the old court of pleas and quarter sessions.
 In those days the stocks and the whipping post, too, were special attrac- tions, notably to boys. The latter were allowed to ridicule people who sat in the stocks, which held their hands and feet, but not to throw anything at them.
 Of course this deprived the boys of some degree of pleasure, yet they con- trived to get good deal of fun out of the thing anyway. It seems odd now even to think of such scenes as these must have been. Figure to yourself passing by the courthouse green at Charlotte or Raleigh and seeing gen tleman held by the ankles and wrists by wooden bars, sitting there in the sunshine for all the world to look at.
 Those were the days of the branding iron too. A set of gyves of iron, in use for holding the ankles or wrists, are on exhibition here, but of branding irons there are none. These were used here in January. 1so6, for the last time Raleigh Cor Charlotte Observer.

WEIGHT OF A HORSE.
Sad Gussses Made by Mon UnskiIIed
 In HorsefIesh.

tu FtVf9cuesHs
 Many people. even among those who frequently make use of horses, have little idea what an ordinary horse weighs and would have much difficulty to guess whether given animal stand ing before their eyes weighed 500 or 1,5o0 pounds. sIet they would have no such dificulty with a man and prob ably be able to guess. especially if they were good Yankees, within ten or twen. ty pounds of his weight The govern ments of Europe have long been pur- chasing and weighing horses for the military service and transferring them from carriage or draft employment to the various branches of cavalry and artillery. The animals are ordinarily assigned according to weight. The French military authorities find that an ordinary light carriage or riding horse, such as in the United States would be called good little buggy horse," weighs from 300 to 400 kiIo- grams-say from 500 to 900 pounds Such horses as these are assigned to the light cavalry corps. The next grade above. which in civil life passes as coupe horse" or carriage horse of medium weight, ranges in weight ap to 4S0 Kilograms, about 1.050 pounds. This horse goes to help mount the cavalry of the line
 Next come the fashionable "coach horses" of persons of luxury, which weigh from 300 to 5S0 kilograms. oP from 1000 to nearly 1900 pounds These horses so to serve the purpose sf drill for the cavalry belonging to the reserve military forces. Above these there are still two grades of heavy horses. The first are those used for ordinary draft purposes and are commonly found drawing the omni- buses of Paris where such vehicles are still in use. These weigh from HOO to I500 pounds. Ike heaviest horses are the Uydesdales and Per cheroas. which arc oxen in size and strength sRa which weigh from 600 to 500 aRd sometimes even up to 300 kilo- grams that is. from 1900 up to near ly 2,OO0 pounds. None of these Per cherons of the heaviest weight are used in the military service, but some of the lighter ones are employed for draft and artillery purposes. Buffalo Commercial.
