says:
"The immense and growing railway
traffic of the country coupled with a
shortage of freight, cars due to the
inactivity of the railways in car build
ing during recent years has developed
such a shortage of equipment that
there is at present rush to provide
for both the present and the future.
Railways Must Use Lumber.
"While there has been a tendency Of
late to turn more to the use Of steel
for the construction of both freight
and passenger cars. the high price of
steel products has determined the rail-
ways to use larger proportion of lum-
ber, especially in the building of
freight cars, and the lumber manufac-
turers of the country are reaping some
thing of harvest. They need it, for
the demand for lumber from this, the
greatest source of trade for them, has
been woefully lacking for several
years.
Zone day last week southern rail-
road made contracts for more than
three thousand cars which will re-
quire over fourteen million feet of
lumber in their construction. During
the past four weeks contracts have
been placed with western mills for
seventy-five million feet of lumber,
one-third of which is high priced car
material. The Great Northern rail
way has placed an order with Port
land company for the construction of
FIVE hundred freight cars which will
require about three million feet of
lumber; and number of other roads
are, or soon will be, in the market
for equipment of this character.
"This is the cream of the trade for
the lumber manufacturers. 1t calls
for a high grade of material and it
can be manufactured and sold in large
quantities. Ordinarily, in normal times
the railroads take as much as, or
more lumber than any other single in
dustry. But times have been far from
normal in recent years, and the lum-
bermen have had to depend almost
altogether on the yard trade for busi-
ness. With the railways back in the
market, their chief troubles will be
over"

fore WEIGHING

Aberdeen's platform scales were
placed in commission last Saturday
at the Union depot, after thorough
examination by State Scale Inspector
G. H. Kaiser. They will weigh 30O,.
900 pounds of freight. The installa.
tion of the scales will prove a boon
to local shippers, particularly of lum-
ber. Cars previously had been weigh
ed at Centralia, and quite bit of
moisture can be picked up by the lum.
ber in the run between the two cit
les.
The scales put in at the Aberdeen
Union depot will be used jointly by
the O.-W, Northern Pacific and Mil
waukee lines. Hoquiam too, now has
track scales, the Northern Pacific
having moved it's scales from Aber-
deem Junction for the use Jointly of
the three lines. The scales at Cos
mopolis are retained by the three rail
ways, but they, like the Aberdeen
Junction apparatus, have proved too
far from the general Grays Harbor
shipping points, to be of much use.

office, says work will start on the
structure in a week or ten days. Hen
erickson was in the city this week.
By the contract, the postoffice must
be completed by July Is, 1917.
The first story will be Of granite,
the upper half of the building will be
faced with red brick, and lobby floor
and base boards will be Of marble.
Whether brick manufactured near Che
halls or coming from California shall
be used depends upon price.
A Seattle firm has secured the sub
contract for wiring and a Tacoma
firm for plumbing Postmaster John
J. Carney has taken up with Hen
erickson the matter of changing the
specifications to allow of installing a
circular door on the west front of the
building instead of swinging doors,
which would be hit in winter by full
force of southwest and northwest
gales, to the discomfort of postoffice
employees and public alike, and Hen
erickson believes the federal authori-
ties will permit the change to be made.
For the quarter ending March 81
of this year, local postoffice receipts
show increase of nearly so per cent
over the same quarter in 1915-SS, 1856

A period of prosperity is being en-

torally with the question.

Just returned from five weeks trip
to the Middle West. Mr.. Marine went
as far as Chicago, and visited Kansas
City and st. Louis and other points in
that territory, as well as many others
between there and the Coast.
"Mr. Marine on his return said that
he never saw such good conditions on
the whole as prevail in the Middle

optimistic feeling everywhere; in fact
he said he didn't find anybody who
was not an optimist.
No Mere FURRY.
"Another feature of the situation
back there, he said, is that most bust.
ness people do not consider the pres.
ent prosperity a mere furry, but be-
lieve that it will last for four or five
years. Mr.. Marine made the interest.
ing statement that owing TO the great
demand for steel and other products
needed in car construction big car fac,
tories are working very short time, but
that the shortage and high prices
of steel and the inability to obtain
deliveries for many months, are caus-
ing car manufacturers to look once
more with favor upon wood. He said
that it would not surprise him at all
if very lage number of the cars built
during the next year or so will have
much greater percentage of wood
than would be the case if conditions

Typhoid

IyPnoIo
If we found a man who very rigidly
avoided eating or drinking anything
that contained strychnine, but who
was careless with regard to material
containing arsenic, and who deliber.
ately ate material that he knew con.
tanned arsenic and died therefrom, we
would say he was crazy, and yet, says
press bulletin of the Washington
state board of health, it would seem
that we occasionally, at least, find
people who take a similar course with
regard to the protection of their health.
An illustration in this very line has
recently been brought home to us.
A young man had carefully read and
studied the question of prevention of
tuberculosis. Some of his family had
had this disease in years gone by,
although he showed no evidence of it.
However, as a matter of precaution,
he bought a small ranch, a neat cot
tage with sleeping porch, and relig-
ious1y occupied this open air sleeping
apartment, realizing that such precau.
tions would, in all probability, pro-
tect him from developing tuberculo-
sis.
He provided for his house a good
we'll. In providing this we'll he prob
ably considered the esthetic side of
the question more than the health
side, for during the last winter his
we'll pump became frozen, and with.
out considering for moment the dan
gers to which he was exposing him
self and family, he proceeded to Sc
cure his water for domestic purposes
from a small stream on the banks of
which he knew were many sources of
contamination: He also knew that at
point one-fourth of mile above
his residence a small sewer emptied
into this stream.
AS result of such negligence (tak-
ing arsenic and avoiding stychnine
as it were), he contracted typhoid
fever and die, and yet we do not
say that he was insane.

FEED VALUE OF coTToNsEED
Not Equal to Meal Which Can Be
Used Without Fear OF Causing
Disturbance in Digestion.

A reader asks II ground cottonseeo
will make as good feed as the COM
mercial cottonseed meal.
The answer is plainly. no. fron
the seed. to make meal, are taken the
bulls, or a large part of them, ana q
considerable portion of the Oil. Inc
oil extracted is of high feeding value
to the extent that oil can be economi-
cally used by the animal, but after all
the oil is removed that is practicable
by The oil mills there is still more oil
than necessary for feeding purposes
left in the meal.
One ton OF meal is easily worth 2
ton and a half Of seed for feeding
purposes. Another advantage pos
sessed by the meal is that. contain
ing less oil, 1t can be used to furnish
a larger part OF the ration, without

KEEP FARM IMPLEMENTS DRY
Tools and Machines Should Be Kept
Under Cover When Not in Use
Expense Not Great.

Every farmer should keep a tool
shed where he can keep all tools
and machines while they are not In
use. An expensive shed is not neces-
sary, the principal point being to
have some shelter that will keep the
implements dry.
Having finished using a machine for
the season, put it under the shed and
clean the dirt and rust from every
part. Then apply a coat OF paint. A
good paint for all farm implements
can be made with red lead and lin
seed oil. Painting machinery is one
Of the best methods of ~prolonging Ito
period of usefulness.
Every machine should be inspected
carefully at least once a year. When
any part is found to be broken or
missing. make a note of the part on
a tag and fasten the tag to the ma
chine. Then, when there is time to
spare for ordering parts, there Will be
no danger of forgetting or overlooking
anything that Is needed.
The essentials Of caring for farm
Implements are housing, repairing, oil
ing. cleaning and painting.-Clemson
Bulletin.
