A party Of men and women of
Philadelphia have just returned,

of Mr.. Gilpin Lowering on his ranch
near Dubois. They have brought

Mr.. Coverings ranch is eighty
miles from Rander, the terminus Of
the Northwestern line. in the midst
of the finest Big Game country in
America. 1t is an elevation OF 1000
feet. The ranch covers thousands
of acres. The houses are of logs,
with big open fre-places and large
rooms, and posses particularly strong

Changes in the Time Card.

Sleepy Eye Herald:
A new time card has been issued
on this division of the Northwestern,
which went into effect Sunday at
noon. Some important changes have
been made in the passenger runs,
chief among these is the abandon
ment of passenger trains Nos. 6 and
z, mention of which was made in
last weeks issue Of this paper.
Both of these trains now run from
Winona to Mankato and turn there.
The stub No. 81. better known as
the Hughes train, arrives here at 9
o'clock in the morning and turns,
returning at 9:45 to New Ulm,
where it remains until the arrival of
the afternoon passengers SOB and
SOP.
The Chicago mail and passenger
No. SOB arrives here Is minutes
later under the new card, making it
due here at 2 p. m. instead Of AS.
No. SOP, east bound passenger is
scheduled to arrive at the same time
as heretofore, namely at 2::25 p. m.
as is also east bound passenger 504,
due here at 3:17 a. m. No. sol ar
riveS here at 12.44 a. m.
The branch runs out of this city
are not effected by the issuance of
the new card except that on Sun
day, the first run leaving here short
ly after IL o'clock and arriving in
time to make connections with SOP.
The first arrangement will be re-
ceived with extreme pleasure by
people along the Redwood branch,
as heretofore they were compelled
to lay over in this city until mid
night for west connections. The
last run leaves here after the de-
parture of SOP and passengers from
the west can now get to Redwood
Falls on Sunday without being COM
PEELED to lay over a half a day
All along the line west of this
city, complaints are being heard re
garding the new schedule. With
only two trains each way, the people
feel that are en- titled to something
better.
1t is rumored that coaches will be
put on the way-freights each way,
for the accommodation of passen.

THE COUNTY PRINTING PROBLEM.
AS Viewed by the Minneota Mascot SO
Say We All.

This has been the week of the an
nual scramble for the county print
ing pie turnout the state. There is
only one satisfactory manner in
which to settle this question and
that is to devise some scheme where
by every legal paper in the county
can get portion of this work re-
gaTdlesst of the politics, pull or
standing of the publication. When
the matter is circulated in all
the papers of the county then it
gives all the people of the county an
opportunity to see the official doings
of the board of commissioners, This
is a square deal for the public and it
is a square deal for the publishers.
There is no chance for any cry of
favoritism and no opportunity for
any charge of spite in the awarding.
Of course the county printing does
not amount to much when distribut-
ed among a dozen papers but it is
better so than to have it continual
source of trouble and dissatisfaction.
Let some certain paper in the coun-
ty, agreed on beforehand by the
publishers, put in the bid and then
let that paper do the bulk Of the
work and furnish the other papers
with supplements of all matter to
be circulated. The division of the
pay could be made by the publishers
and there would be no trouble on
that source. When we look at this
matter from an unbiased standpoint
it does seem that a portion of the
county printing belongs to every
legal paper in the county. Of
course, no one can claim it by any
right but the fact remains that the
circulation of this matter commonly
called county printing" is some
thing in which the people of the
whole county are interested and in
order that the greatest good to the
greatest number may be had it is
essential to adopt that manner of
circulation which gives the greatest
number Of readers an opportunity
to see the matter which is sent out
When every paper in the county cir
culates this stuff then we have that
condition where the people are best
served-we also have that condition
where the publishers are the best
satisfied. Both these ends are GER
tainly worth striving for and espec-
tally so because of the fact that
through this method we come the
nearest to giving everybody square
deal

SAVING THE LUMBER.
Improved Methods for Reducing the
Waste in Saving Up Trees.

The men of no industry recognize
the Importance of practicing ecoro-
my in the utilizing of product more
than the lumbermen of this country.
Such has not always been the case,
but the rapid depletion of the for
aests during the past decade and the
consequent advance in stumpage
prices has made necessary the re-
,duction of waste in order to insure
the prosperity of the business. So
far, aside from reducing waste in
the woods, practically all efforts have
been directed to better utilization of
the log Of the tree through the in
PRODUCTION of machinery which works
up the product with less waste.
Lumbermen have for years been
perfecting their machinery so as to
reduce the waste in manufacturing
the logs into lumber. The old-fash-
Toned, vertical, stiff-back saws which
were operated by water power made
a cut almost half an inch wide. Then
came the circular saws. which great
ly increased the speed of saving, and
reduced the waste in kerr. These
have now been supplanted by modern
band saws, which in some cases make
a cut of not more than ] of an inch
and revolyes with tremendous speed.
With the saw, all other parts of mill
machinery have shown marked i'm
provement.
This condition has been brought
about by the ever increasing demand
for greater economy and cheaper
and quicker methods of manufac-
ture. Waste in numbering has al
ways been an important considera-
ton, but has become far more so of
late on account of the very rapid
depletion of the forests. Competi-
ton has also greatly increased until
it is only those lumbermen who have
kept pace with modern conditions
that are able to operate with success.
These changed conditions have
completely revolutionized the log
cling methods of several Of the larg-
est lumber companies in the South.
Instead Of telling the tree and saw
ing it into logs in the woods, they
simply trim off the branches, and
haul in the whole tree, It is then
thrown into a log pond, picked up

THIRTEEN AND THE HOODOO.
Redwood Newspaper Gang Break Bread
and Talk Shop at the kdhier.

The Redwood County Publishers
Association, to the number of seven
the mystic number gathered
around one of the dining tables at
The Kahler last Thursday noon, to
talk shop and incidentally to nourish
the inner man. If the newspaper
fellows had been superstitious they
might have recalled the fact that
their number when all present would
have been thirteen, instead of seven.
Perhaps it was to guard against the
hoodoo that the rest staid away, but
if they did they have discovered ere
this that it is just as possible for
seven to get it in the neck as for
the hoodoo number. But that is
another story.
President Starr of Lamberton and
Secretary Eaton came on the morn
ing train, a little while after Harvey
Harris of Vesta arrived by the bron-
co route. The two Redwood Falls
newspaper guys joined them at the
noon hour and all chased to the din
ing room for scoop on later
corners it any there might be. Just
before dinner Vice-president futile
of the association had been called
up over the phone and asked wheth-
er he would join US. Back came the
answer that he was very busy and
could not come, but that whatever
the boys agreed to would be accept
able to him. The BelvieW man is
koWn to be humorous at times, but
it was several hours before any of
the newspaper boys caught on to
the subtle humor of this last mes
sage. After the first course of the
association dinner had been removed
McRae of Sanborn came in on the
run, having missed the morning
train and chartered a special, with
Sanborn liveryman for conductor.
When it came time to cut the pie,
! the last conner Milbradt of Sea.
forth appeared, with apologies for
driving the slowest team in the
county. The fact that the attend
ance was little scattering was not
allowed to cast cloud on the fes-
tivities, however, as there was plen-
ty of pie and other things to go
around even at the eleventh hour.

on endless chains and sawed into any
desired length. One concern in the
South with which the Forest Service
has been cooperating has built a sep
arate mill for this purpose. The
savings in actual merchantable con-
tents and cost Of manufacture are
considerable, and more than pay for
the initial and upkeep costs OF the
mill.
Another feature of the business
which is just beginning to be thor
oughIy appreciated is the manufac-
ture of the logs of different sizes into
definite products. Thus, where form
erly boards were sawed from logs OF
any diameter, many lumbermen are
now beginning to use only the larger
logs for this purpose. The smaller
logs are sawed into those commodl-
ties which require little handling and
cost Of manufacture, such as posts,
poles, railroad ties, etc.
Railroad companies want heart
longleaf pine for their cross-ties, and
in the past have had little difficulty
in getting them. Now, however.
many lumbermen absolutely refuse
to furnish them, but take the logs
of this quality and saw them into
more valuable grades of lumber.
Heart Iongleaf pine ties are likely
therefore, to go out of use, and their
place be taken by ties sawed from
small trees and surfaced on two sides
only. Such ties are admirably adapt
ed to preservative treatment, be-
cause they are entirely surrounded
by sapwood, and this redily absorbs
preservatives. Moreover a tie cut
from small tree, when treated with
preservative, is far more durable
than an untreated tie cut from
heartwood, and although its initial
cost is somewhat greater, its final
cost is considerably less. Manutac-
ture of logs Of certain sizes into def
mite products is therefore getting
to be of increasing importance.
While the principal advances in the
closer utilization of the tree, so far,
have been made in working up the
log to better advantage, other reduc-
lions in waste will come through the
use of every part of the tree which
can be handled with profit. Varied
commercial interests over the coun-
try have made gooe success in the
last few years in reducing the enor-
nous waste of forest products by
treating with preservatives woods
which are of little value in their
natural state, reducing the height
of the stump, using the tree higher
up into the top, and utilizing for
various by-products many parts
which were formerly wasted. The
government, through the United
States Forest Service, has taken
prominent part in these expert
ments, and the knowledge gained
has been placed at the disposal OF
the business men of the country who
are interesed.

Springfield Advance: Many of the
newspapers are complaining of the
unreasonableness of the new ruling
made by the postmaster general to
the effect that paid in advance sub
scribers only constitute bonafde
subscription list, and that unless
this ruling is complied with 1-cent
postage stamp will be required on
each paper, whereas, if the SUBJ
scribers pay in advance the papers
can be mailed at the old rate of l
cent a pound. The objections are
we'll taken, for there are many pub
fishers who have labored years to
work up big list of subscribers,
and who have heretofore cheerfully
extended credit. but as much as
they would now like to continue to
do so. they will be compelled to live
up to the ruling and insist that sub
scribers who are in arrears pay up
at once, for the department has
extended the publishers a limited
time only in which to make such
collections. Don't censure the edi-
tor for the new order of things, for
he is no more to blame than you are.
