POINTS ABOUT timber FUMES
v-SHAPED IS The MOST EFFICIENT

veyed as carefully as a line for a log
ging railroad, to ensure evenness of
grade. Grades should be kept below Is
per cent. wherever possible, and the best
results are obtained with grades between
two and 10 per cent.
Abrupt curvatures In a hume should be
avoided, for they are likely to cause
jams. Curves should rarely be permit
ted to exceed 20 degrees. 1t may be nee
essary to blast out rocks and boulders,
trestle, or even tunnel, to eliminate
abrupt curves or maintain an even grade
Telephones are recommended as ad-
juncts to the operation of a fume. By
their use a serious break or jam can be
reported Immediately to the head of the
flume to prevent further shipment of ma
terial A telephone also makes it pos
sible to notify the men at the upper end
of the fiume just what material to ship
and when to ship it.
A fume recently built on Rochat Creek,
near St Joe, Idaho, is cited as a good
example of modern V-shaped fiume con-
struction This fiume, which is usually
large and built to handle heavy logs and
long timbers is said to have cost ap-
proximately $Se00 per mile for the five
constructing wagon road and telephone
equipment Other fumes are cited cost
ing from $1,000 to $500 a mile.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1914-07-03

That the V-shaped timber fiume is a
more efficient type than the box or
square-sided form is one of the conclu-
sions reached by the department of agri-
culture in bulletin just issued on fumes
and fuming. The V-shaped wooden
f1ume requires less water and, on the
average, less repairs than the other type,
is better adapted to act as a slide on
steep grades, and offers fewer chances
for jams. Concerning a third type, the
sectional metal fume, semi-circular in
form, the prediction is made that it will
come into wide use. Such a fiume is
strong and light, and can be quickly
taken apart and transported from one
place to another to be set up again.
When building fumes good plan, says
the department, is to erect a small saw
mill at or near the upper end of the
fiume location to saw out the lumber
needed for construction. Such material
can be fioated down the ffume as fast as
the latter is built and used for further
extension.
For handling railroad cross-ties, cants,
poles, cordwood. and the like, fume
with the sides of the V 80 inches in
height Is large enough. For handling
logs piling, long timber, or brailed sawed
is recommended. The best angle for the
V is put at 80 degrees.
Proposed hume lines ought to be sur
