 O. L. Chism this week cut three monster logs on the Leonard S Sands lot in the north part of the town. One of these logs was six feet and four inches in diameter. It was cut into 27 railroad ties and there was about 1000 feet of other lumber in addition to the ties. The other two logs were nearly as large. Photo graphs were made of the huge logs by Herbert Thresher and will be ex- hibited later. Some idea of the size of these logs can be obtained when it is realized that they were thicker than the new boiler now being installed at the Central mill.
