Cut Trees by Exploding Dynamite.

Instead Of an ax and saw to remove
the tops Of trees that are TO be used
as masts In logging operations, dyna-
mite Is used TO shoot off the tops.
After the branches have been removed,
rigger climbs the tree, with a set Of
irons, to the point where II is neces-
sary 10 cut of the top. Here the trunk
is usually about u inches in diane
ter. The rigger ties a string Of dyna-
mite cartridges, fastened end to end
like sausages, around the trunk at this
point, inserts a blasting cap with about
20 feet Of fuse In one OF these sticks,
lights the end Of the fuse, and de-
Scends before the explosion takes
place. The tree top pumps into the
air with the explosion and the trunk
Is left ready for attaching the rigging
for dragging In and loading the logs.

ulate the expenditure OF money In cleo

shall not argue at length the deslr-
ability OF giving a freer hand in the
matter Of combined and concerted eff
fort to those who shall undertake the
essential enterprise OF building up our
export trade. That enterprise Will
presently, will Immediately assume,
has indeed already assumed, a magni-
tude Unprecedented In our experience.
We have not the necessary lnstrumen-
tallties for its prosecution; II Is
deemed to be doubtful whether they
could be created upon an adequate
scale under our present laws. We
should clear away all legal obstacles

Porto Rieo's Needs.
The argument for the proposed
amendments OF the organic law Of Por-
TO Rico is brief and conclusive. The
present laws governing the island and
regulating the rights and privileges Of
It's people are not just We have ere
ated expectations Of extended privi-
lege which we have not satisfied.
There Is uneaslness among the people
OF the island and even a suspicious
doubt with regard to our intentions
concerning them which the adoption OF
the pending measure would happily re-
move. We do not doubt what we wish
70 do in any essential particular. We
ought to do II at once.
There are other matters already ad-
vanced 10 the stage Of conference be-
tween the two houses Of which It Is
not necessary that / should speak.
Some practicable basis Of agreement
concerning them will no doubt be found
and action taken upon them.
Inasmuch as this Is, gentlemen, prob
ably the last occasion I shall have to
address the Sixty.fourth congress, ]
hope that you will permit me TO say
with what genuine pleasure and salts

the many measures Of constructive pol

graduating you upon the completion Of
