Gods own answer to the question,
"If a man dies shall he live
againP" Il the germ of inanimate
life buried beneath the sod, SO
surely respond to the silent COM
mand of summer who can doubt
that man shall spring up out of
the unconscious dust to eternal
life when God shall call? Can it
be that the grass and the flowers
are resurrected from the sod of
the earth, while man for whom
they were made, must sleep for
ever?
Messrs. Taylor and Cozine have
a crew of men floating piling down
West Fork this week. When the
piling arrives at the Three Forks
the timbers will be made into RATS
and taken down Big Black to
Clearwater, where the piling will
be loaded on Iron Mountain cars
and shipped south. The recent
"rise" in the West Fork makes the
job of floating piling nc easy one.
This was the finest piling we ever
saw. 1t was perfectly straight and
and had no knots or other defects.
They were irst-class ifevery par
ticular. In fact, the Moss tie peo-
pie do not make anything but a
frst-class article. The company
has about 100, 900 cross ties on Mid
11o EarI~ ouJ oka,1k tho O opoo pTno-
Der on West Fork, which, we are
formed, they will float down the
two streams in the course of two
or three weeks. The ties will be
thrown in the river and aoated to
near Lesterville, where they will
be 'snailed in" and RATED down to
Clearwater, whence they will be
loaded on the cars. While the
company has probably made a
great deal of money out of it's tim
Der here, it has lost thousands of
dollars as we'll. At least a third
of their timber is wasted and Slost
on account of no railroad, no mar
ket. Had there been a railroad
running into this section since the
Moss Tie Company began busi-
ness here, they would have saved
many thousand dollars. If the
timber wasted could have been
marketed the amount would go far
toward building a line from here
to the Iron Mountain railroad. A
road from this section to the Iron
Mountain, taking everything into
consideration, swould certainly be
a paying proposition.-Center

The Business Mems meeting at
the court house last Thursday
evening was we'll attended and
was made interesting by the short
talks of a number present. The
Shepherd road was up for discuss
sion and the committee was en-
powered to expend the 1925 of this
fund under supervision of some
competent road builder, if for any
reason the contract for the build
ing of same could not be signed
at once. The report of President
Tauernicht showed that about 5000
had already been expended in
fencing the right of way and ac-
quiring part of an acre necessary
therefor. Now let the committee
get busy. A nominating COM
mittee, composed of Chas. New
man, chairman, Eli D. AXE, Price
Ringo, w. T. Gay, Fred Kindell
Jr., and Chas. Tual, was appoint.
