Christiania, Norway.-No one knows
when the first log cabin was built in
Norway. but it must have been about
1,50O years at least. At first they
were windowless, chimneyless things.
then they gradually became light and
airy, acquired chimneys and floors
and developed into one and one-half
and then into two story houses, be-
coming the homelike abodes Of en-
iightened people. Their development
and transformation are easy to under
stand. thanks to the efforts OF DIR.

The cost of operating this tain to
the railroad people was: NJ. X. & T.,

KIRBY LUMBER COMPANY
GETS BIG CONTRACT.

Houston, Texas, Feb. 1.-The Kirby
Lumber Company of this city has just
closed contract with the city of Phil
adelphia for 100000 feet of yellow
pine to be converted into creosoted
paving blocks for the streets of that
city. This contract is one of the
largest, If not the largest ever given.
The lumber will be shipped from Port
Bolivar.
The popularity of creosoted pine
blocks as a paving material in the
North and East is evidenced by this
large contract. The rapidly increasing
demand for yellow pine to be man.
ufactured into the creosoted blocks
will materially affect the lumber in
dustry in the Southwest, and is one OF
the largest factors in the prosperity
of this territory.
