Monster Saw Loo,

Portland June 23.-AlthouRh it
sounds like the purest fiction, an Ore
gon shingle mill has just finished a
run of thirty three days, Working on
one giant cedar log, The big stick
was eleven feet, ten inches In diameter
at the base and sixty feet long. AS
the saws used by the loggers in cut
ting the logs into ~"bolts" for the
shingles saws are only eight feet lonss
dynamite was used in splitting the
log so 1t could be sawed into pieces
of the necessary size to go to the cir
cular saws.
Not over a half a cord of timber
was wasted in the work and when 1t
was finished, 141,O00 shingles had been
made from the single stick. The tree
grew in the forests of Tillamook coun-
ty, where there is probably the finest
standing timber TO be found on the
continent. So dense are these forests
OF fir, spruce and cedar and SO luxuri-
ant their growth that In many places
1t is almost impossible for a man to
force his way through the underbrush
that fills the narrow spaces between
the trees.

NORSEMEN TO FORM
A MOERE-LAGET
NoRWEGIANs FROM MoERE TO
ASSEMBLE AT coNcoRDTA COL
LEGE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
TO FORM INTERSTATE SOCIETY
FOR MUTUAL BENEFIT.

Norwegians from Moore will, Friday
and Saturday at Concordia college,
form a Moere-Laget. Moere is on the
middle western part of Norway and
was during the middle ages a nest for
the Vikings. The most noted of these
were Ragnvald Moerejarl who was
important in Norwegian history by
aiding Harald Haarfagre in making
Norway one independent kingdom.
Ragnvald's oldest son, Einar, became
jarl of Orkneys and the Shetlands and
Caithness and Sutherland in the north
ern part of Scotland This Einar is
claimed to be one of the ancestors of
George Washington. Another of
Ragnvold's sons was Rolf or Gange-
Rolf, who is noted as one of the most
important factors in a reconstructed
Europe. In the English history he is
called Roflo who in 1911 conquered
Normandy. He is an ancestor to all
the Norman dukes, and since the bat
tie at Hastings, 1866, to all the kings
Of England third son was Thore,
the Silent, who became Jarl of Moere
like his father.
The first crusade from the Scandina-
wan SouAlHleS started from Moore.
The richest family in Norway, from
the year 1000 to about 1900, lived here.
Members of this family were often re-
lated to the royal house and governed
Norway when the kings happened to be
too young.
A gift from France, statue of Roll
10, will next year be placed. on one
of the islands of Moore.
Today, the Moerings are most noted
for their bravery On the sea. They
have large and modern fleet for
fishing, and they are found far out in
the Atlantic, under Iceland apd Green
land, and this part of the Atlantic is
called the Norwegian sea-

BIG RUN Of CATTLE

ALL JUNE RECORDS FOR RE-
cEIPTs AT STOCK YARDS
BROKEN BY YEsTER-
DAYS ARRIVALS,

South st. Paul, June 23.-All June
records for live stock receipts were
broken at South ST. Paul yesterday
when nearly 200 cars Of stock arrived
at the unloading chutes at the stock
yards. A combination of circum-
stances among which not weather fig
ured prominently, was held responsible
for the heavy receipts. Shippers on the
market yesterday gave different opin-
lens as to the damage from the drouth.
and, while it is indisputable that dry
weather has increased the shipments
of live stock materially from some sec
lions of the northwest, the testimony
Of farmers and commission men at
South ST. Paul does not bear out re-
ports that the area affected seriously
comprises more than a minor portion
of the territory tributary to this mar
ket
Increases in the receipts at the local
market yesterday were most conspicu-
GUS in the cattle and sheep divisions.
Total receipts of cattle, including
calves, were $3.50 against 1855 a week
ago Tuesday and 2,011 the same day
in 1909. The estimated receipts for
Chicago, the leading market of the
country, yesterday were only $780, or
1,500 less than arrived at ST Paul.
Sheep receipts at South ST. Paul yes
terday We're 2,279, but there was moth
ing unusual in the size Of the crop in
this department, as such figures might
readily be duplicated from the June
records of past years. Hog receipts
were 1888, a very ordinary days run.

orally. J. S. Bangs. manager of the

Dry weather, especially in this part
of Minnesota, Is undoubtedly RESPONSE

ceipts of cattle. However, the general
situation over our territory as yet pra-
sents no cause whatever for alarm.
Our receipts have been increasing
steadily since the first of the year, and
this fact must be considered. The dry
weather trouble up to date Is largely
local in its effects"
