SOME LUMBER QUESTIONS

Washington, D. c., September 20.
The investigation carried on last
year by the U. s. Department Of Ag-
riculture, cooperating with lumber
manufacturers in the south, to de-
termine the saving that can be affect
ed by using odd lengths Of lumber
as we'll as even, has begun to bear
fruit. That Investigation showed
that a material saving was practic-
able, and at recent meeting of
southern lumber manufacturers asso-
citation the fact was brought out that
a beginning has been made in put
ting the new plan into practice, and
that an increase In the sale Of odd
lengths Is anticipated for the near
future. ISati
1t was formerly the custom, and
generally is SO still, to sell lumber
in even lengths only. Waste result
ed from cutting off the ends of odd
lengths to make them even. A consid-
cradle percentage of sawmill's out
put is defective. That is, boards
have had knots, decayed spots or
split ends, and the defective parts
are cut out. To make an even
length of what remains, it Is OFTEN
necessary to cut off foot of good
wood with the bad and it is wasted.
The practice of marketing odd
lengths as well as even is meant to
lessen this waste. The sale of odd
lengths of lumber will frequently
lessen waste in the woods also; for
example, log may be cut fifteen
feet, which, following the oldtcustom.
would be cut only fourteen, and the
extra footqwouM be left in the woods.
The introduction Of odd lengths
meets with opposition from many
builders who are prejudiced in favor
of even lengths simply because they
have never used any other kind.
Nevertheless, there are many places
in which odd lengths are more eco
nomical than even ones; for instance,
where 9-foot studding is used. Fol-
lowing former custom, the ends must
be cut from even lengths to make
the timbers fit. Some manufacturers
of flooring successfully sell odd and
even lengths, thus lessening waste In
the woods, at the mill, and in the
construction of buildings.

THANKS THE HELPERS

Mr.. W. T. Hawkey wishes to ex-
press his appreciation Of the loyal
aid he received in getting up the fruit
exhibit for the fair this year. 1t was
such a great task, and people so busy,
that it just depended upon the self
sacrificing folks who could and would
leave their own work and go out day
after day and solicit and gather and
pack and unpack and polish and
classify the fruit for the love of
country anu love for the other fell
lows. Those who thought they were
doing a great deal to pay their ad-
missions and go around and look at
the fruit are debtors to the folks
who raised it and to those who work.
ed SO long to place 1t in position for
this educational treat called fair.
1t was demonstration that has a
financial valne.eand those that did
Luc WCIC pAOLupICu Wy Inc WioA
to see their fellows informed as to
what our soil and climate will do
when nature is given the materials
to work with. If it isn't an inspira-
tion to them to use these means to
produce more fruit and better fruit
at their own homes, then the work
done at the fair is lost.
Mr.. Hawkey just asks you to con-
slider these things and share with him
the gratitude due to those who did
so much work without cent of pay.
And this applies in all departments
of the fair, from president and Sec
retary down to the least Of the work
ers. You will know who they are
when you remember who was in evil
dence in the various. departments
when there was work to do and in-
formation to be given out.

MAINE WET BY 20 VOTES
Official Returns as Canvassed Show
Small Majority for Repeal

Augusta, Me-, Sept. 19.--Complete
official returns from the special cleo
tion of last Monady, when Maine
voted on the repeal of the constitu;
tional prohibitory amendment, as
canvassed by the governor and coun-
Gil tonight, showed majority of rs
votes in favor of repeal.
Various descrepancie were found
in the official returns as compared
with the tabulations compiled by the
secretary of states office. The latter
indicated a majority for repeal of
1876.
Some doubt remains as to the cor
rectness of the returns and Governor
Plaisted announced that city and town
clerks would be given 20 days to
check the results.

A REMINGTON IN DISGUISE

People who looked over the art
work at the fair last week we're de-
lighted with the crayon work Of q
Blackfoot man who takes familiar
subjects and puts them ON paper. No
more familiar objects could be select
ed in Eastern Idaho than the Three
Buttes on the Snake river plains, and
two of these were shown in cray0n
work, done by J. E. Lane, of Black
foot. So perfect was the reproduc-
tion that visitors were deligted, and
were the more pleased because these
homely old land marks have never
been seen on paper or canvas any
more than had Remington's subjects
when he was just discovering his
powers of reproducing western
scenes.
People who have lived for some
time in this valley and then leave for
time, usually feel thrill Of joy
when they come back and get the
first glimpse Of the Three Buttes, and
Mr.. Lanes work lends added charm
to these familiar land marks, because
Of their very commonness and the
exactness with which they are
brought out in the crayon work.
Mr.. Lane lives in the Younie addi-
ton, and is connected with the Bing-
ham County nurseries. If you want
to call him "Mr. Lane" it is all right,
but you have our permission to call
him just plain Remington. .

Ex-sLAvE HOST FOR TOWN

Massillon, o., Sept. 18.-To cele-
brate the 4Sth anniversary of his
release from slavery, Gilbert Porter,
an aged well-to-do negro, today gave
a great barbecue to which he invited
the entire town. Oxen, sheep, pigs
and chickens comprised the bill of
fare. Porter says that a celebration
of this character has been the great
ambition of his life. He had in
tended waiting, until the 5oth ami

The Durability
of a F rame House

is not the only feature that should
be considered when building home.
Few people are far-sighted enough
to anticipate their requirements fif-
teen or twenty years hence. Some
day you may desire an addition
made to your home or some changes
made to make the home more ade-
quate to your demands and here
again is an advantage in having
frame house. Alterations can be
made much more easily on such
house, leaving practically no contrast
between the old and the new, usually
at trifling expense. This, however,
is only one of the advantages in
frame building. We can name many
more that are based on sound rea-
soning and long years of close OBJ
servation. Before building come in
and let's talk this lumber business
over.

A CERTAIN CURE
FOR CATARRR

The mucous mem branes Of the nose
and throat are exposed to the irrita-
ting influence of dust, impure air,
ETC., and for this reason are the places
Catarrh usually first manifests itself.
But these are simply exciting causes,
the Inflammation and discharge being
really produced by an impure and
vitiated condition of the blood. 1t is
we'll enough to use some local treat
but any one can readily see that il
the lnhammatory matter is left III the
blood, such treatment cannot possibly
have any permanent effect. S. S. S.
cures Catarrh by cleansing the blood
OF all impure catarrhal matter and
irritating germs and at the same time
builds up the system by its fine tonic
effects. When S, S, S. has purified
the blood, the mucous surfaces are all
nourished and made healthy. There
can be no inflammation of the mem-
branes then, because the blood is
pure, and every tissue receives nour-
ishment instead of irritating matter.
Our book on Catarrh will interest
every sufferer of this disease, and it
will likewise give proper advice as to
what is best to use as local aid
while S, S. S. is purifying the blood.
This book is free to all, and we will
also be glad to give any special advice
you may feel you need. S. S, S, is
sold at drug stores.
