Names logging Industry 20 years
ago seemed on the decline. The es-
tablishment of mills changed that. To-
day logs have advanced so per cent.
In value and wages are higher than
at any other time since the days i'm
mediately following the Civil war.
When the first pulp mills were built
IN Maine the lumbermen regarded
them merely as a convenient market
for the smaller trees that were not At
for lumber. These logs were called
pulp wood" and were looked upon
with contempt by all hands. including
the river drivers who navigated them
TO the boom. The little logs would
not bear the weight Of a man and
were productive Of many cold bath
for those who handled them.
Nowadays It is very different. The
pulp manufacturers no longer depend
upon the little logs, but Gull out the
large trees, leaving the smaller ones
to grow and furnish crop In future
years.
From a small proportion of the total
cut Of logs, the pulp stock" has now
increased so that on some rivers 1t
equals and on other 1t exceeds that Of
the logs cut for the sawmills. In

No jury or Lawyer Required and

New York.-The business mems
court of honor, q tribunal without
Judge. lawyer or jury, yet recognized
by the laws Of the state, has been re-
viVed In New York after a lapse Of II
years. The court is conducted by the
chamber Of commerce to settle dis
putes among merchants, and, SO far
as is known here, there Is no other
court like 1t In the world.
In 1858 the business mems court
was established and for more than a
century merchants adjusted their dis
putes there. In 1874 the legislature
voted a salary of $4,000 a year to
the official arbitrator Of the court, and
when this salary was discontinued In
1895 the body passed out Of exist
ence. Several months ago a move
ment was begun looking to the re-
establishment Of the tribunal, with
the result that several cases have Just
been heard before It.
To try the average case requires an
expenditure of only $50 or $50, COM

In every department Of the lumber
industry rapid progress is being made
in methods and in appliances. In the
old times no one ever thought OF send
ing men to the woods until snow had
fallen. Now the crews that do the pre-
lIminary work are sent up river in Au-
gust, and a large proportion Of the
men are on the ground long before
snow comes. making roads and Telling
timber, which in fairly smooth regions
is dragged to the yards at the time OF
the year.
In the old times the men were
obliged to make the greater part OF
the journey to the woods on foot. Sup
plies were carried in on tote" teams,
a most laborious and expensive meth
cd of transportation. Now almost ali
OF the important regions are travers-
ed by railroads and the crew, provi-
sions and camp outfits are carried
quickly and at moderate expense

FAv0RS ONE.PIECE DRESSES
School Principal InsIsts Garment
10 tho Best Possible for the
Growing Young Lady.

The head of the biggest trade school
for girls In New York declares that
the present style of one-piece dresses
is the ideal costume for growing girls.
THE short-waisted style Of dress,
with its wider girth at the high waist
line and Its general looseness, hang.
ing straight from the shoulder, is the
ideal sort of frock for a young girl
to wear" the principal said. 1T is
not only comfortable. neat, easy to
put on and simple and pretty in cut.
but 1t has another immense advan.
tage, bigger than all OF these. al.
though these should be sufficient to
recommend it to mothers.
1T is cut In such a way that II a
girl is taught to carry herself upright.

and sitting erect and without SLOUGH.
ing, she need wear no corset. For q
girl who must have room to grow
and to breathe right. plenty Of space
is necessity, and corset is not de-
sirable.
"The philosophy Of the dress is
this: With a long-waisted dress, as
when a girl wears a skirt and shirt
waist. the skirt Is fastened tightly
around the smallest part of the body.
This prevents free breathing and with
this style some kind Of corset Is q
necessity.
"But with the waist line higher
and as large around az the largest
part Of the body, as is shown in what
is called the empire style Of gown,

ticed. The skirt hangs In straight
lines from the larger line Just below
the arms and looks we'll. II the girls
keeps her body erect and stands or
sits in a graceful, even position, the
effect is excellent without q corset.
The plan would encourage girls to
take care how they stand or walk or
breathe, and this itself would be
good for them"
