Western HemIOCk

Western hemlock, says the De-
partment of Agriculture, deserves
better opinion and more general
use than it now obtains. Intrinsi-
cally it is among the most important
of western woods.
The wood of western hemlock
has generally been considered an
inferior one chiefly because of the
prejudice created by the name,
which has caused it to be identified
with eastern hemlock. Tests by
the Forest Service, however, show
it to have SO per cent the strength
of Douglas fir, one of the country's
chief construction timbers. In
fact it is often mixed with Douglas
fir and used for the same purposes.
The wood is practically free from
pitch. has a handsome grain, takes
paint and stain well, and works

consequence one was slipped over
on the Ely fans that went to the
match. Nels Moe, the much
touted Dakota wrestler failed to ap-

Ben had sent him $48 in travelling
expenses. The long-looked for
match could not be held. Not to
dissapoint the large audience how
ever Gust Maxi went on the mat
with the Farmer and to tell the
truth it was considerable of ques-
ton whether Maxi was not the
best man of the two and he does
not claim to be a wrestler. Farmer
Benz has not since been seen.
