MAGAZINES BEING SHIPPED
BY FAST FREIGHT NOW

The postoffice department on
September l, began an experiment
which is regarded as one Of the
most important steps yet taken by
Postmaster General Hitchcock in
his plans to reduce the expense of
the service and thereby pave the
way, so it is believed, for the ulti-
mate adoption of penny postage.
The plan inaugurated provides
that the greater part Of the second
class mail matter consisting of mag
azines and periodicals, heretofore
transported in railway mail cars. will
he carried by fast freight. The pub
fishers are to be permitted to print
on the wrapper Of each copy or bum
die of their publications, as part
Of the address, instructions as to the
date in which delivery is to be made
In accordance with this agreement
postmasters have been directed to
carry out the instructions with re-
spect to the delivery of fast mail
freight.
Mr. Hitchcock believes that the
new system will he found saisfac-
tory to the publishers and the pub
lie alike, while the expense to the
government will be far less than
heretofore.

A NEW METHOD FOR
CLEARING CUT OVER LAND

H. D. Shepard. manager OF the
Travelling Mems reimbursement
company has just inaugurated new
scheme for making wood and clear
ing the land at the same time. In
stead of the wood cutters cutting
the trees down leaving the stump in
the ground, man climbs about
three-fourths of the way to the top
and fastens strong block and tack
lie. The other end of the block
and tackle is made fast to stump
or another tree; then team is
hitched to the rope and as they walk
along the tree is pulled over and
out by the roots. A man stands at
the foot of the tree and with an axe
cuts off any roots that bind very
strong. This work is started in one
end Of the lot and all the trees
pulled down one way. Trees up to
ten inches in diameter are being
pulled out in this manner and for
the larger one charge Of dynamite
is put under the roots to blow out
the dirt so that the roots can be got
at with an axe to cut off the biggest
ones and then it is pulled down the
same as the rest
After the trees are all felled an
other crew of men come along
and cut all the branches off and
with saw cut off the stump and
then cut the body into lengths that
can be conveniently handled which
are taken to portable power cir
Gle saw where it is cut into conyen-
lent lengths.
After the wood is all gotten out
the brush and stumps will be put
into piles and burned. This method
has proved to be very successful
according to Mr.. Shepard and is the
cheapest method he has yet found
to make wood and at the same time
the land is being cleared OF the
stumps. This is quite an innova-
ton in clearing off land covered
with the lodge pole pine and may
help to solve the problem of clear
ing the land at minimum cost.

AT FIRMEN's CONVENTION.

B. O. Mullin and H. S. Robinson
left Saturday night on the Burling-
ton for Billings to attend the annual
meeting OF the Montana Firemen's
association, as delegates from the
Whitefish fire department. The con
vention convened Monday morning
and lasted until last night. Rep
resentatives were there from all
over the state. It IVES the largest
and most enthusiastic meeting ever
held.
The program outlined by the Bill
iEgs fire department for the enjoy
ment OF the visitors was most
elaborate. One special feature was
the parade OF all the firemen Of the
state on Labor Day with the labor
unions.
At the business session each town
represented was supposed to dis
cuss some topic Of interest to the
