USING DYNAMITE TO
CUT TOPS OFF TREES
Top Is Removed In This Way
With Little Danger
to Loggers

Portland, July THAT dynamite
is used to remove the tops from trees
selected as spar trees for the skyline
logging rig of the Manley- Moore Lum-
ber company camp at Fairfax, Wash,
is reported by forest officer L. A.
Nelson, who has just returned from a
visit to this camp.
Instead of using saw or an axe,
the headrigger puts on pair of long
spurred climbing irons and ascends the
tree to a height of from 100 to $50 feet
He carries with MIN several sticks of
dynamite tied together, end to end,
like string of sausages. This he puts
around the tree trunk, which is usu-
ally about 10 inches in diameter at
the point where he wishes to take off
the top, tying the powder securely in
place. A decorating cap, to which a
long piece of fuse is attached, is in
serted in one of the sticks of dynamite
The rigger descends twenty feet or
so, lights the fuse and makes his way
to safe place on the ground some dis
tance from the tree. After a few min
utes the powder explodes, the tree top
leaps into the air and comes crashing
down. The limbs are removed from
the trunk before the top is shot out,
so that after the explosion the stub is
ready for attaching the blocks of tne
overhead logging system.
This method of getting the tops off,
which is only experimental at present,
is expected to prove safer and more
economical than saving or chopping
off the top, which makes it necessary
for the faller to remain in the tree
until the top has fallen.
The Manley-Moore Lumber company
which is testing this method, has a
five.year contract with the forest SER
vice and is cutting government timber
on the Rainier national forest at an
elevation of 1000 feet above sea level
the highest elevation of any logging
works operating in western Washing
ton. Two years ago attention was
called to their operations when they
installed an inclined railway over q
mile long, and so arranged that car
lead of logs coming down hauls an
empty ear up. On the maximum grade
of this incline the track rises 81 feet
in goinq forward 100 1t has been a
successful operation for two years.

A Famous Physicians
Wonderful Discovery

After series of careful experiment
and tests at the Invalid s Hotel and
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, n. Y, COW
ering many years-Dr Pierce, the medi-
cal director of that hospital made an
nouncement that he could prove that a
medicine which he called "ANURIC"
was the best uric acid solvent now to
be had. As remedy for those easily
recognized symptoms OF inflammation
as scalding urine, backache and fre.
quent urination, as well as sediment in
the urine, or if uric acid in the blood
has caused rheumatism, lumbago, sci
atica, grout, it is simply wonderful how
quickly "Anuric " acts; causing the
pains and stiffness rapidly to disappear
Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to
dropsical condition, often caused by
disordered kidneys. Naturally when the
kidneys are deranged the blood is filled

Is this war-this sound of music pulsing
bravely-
Like the heartbeats of the boys it
bids "goodbye"
As "Amerca l love you' thrills so
gravely-
Through tho hearts of those who smile

Or the marching of the boys-does this

As their parting kisses bless your

Ah-no-but that those lips may soon
be lifeless
And those marching feet tread to an
unknown goal
All, That is war!
This can't be war--this husky murmur

This "Goodbye, dear" and crushing
arms that fold.
Ah-no-but if the last Goodbye" for

And if those loving, crushing arms

Ah-that were war!
Can this he war-these daisies nodding

Beside the brook which bathes them

No-no-but that he, bleeding, fall upon

And soft brook wavelets mingle with

Ah-that we've war!
And is this war-this whisper of the

Amid the boughs which bend so low

settles in the feet, ankles and wrists;
or under the eyes in bag-like forma-
tions.
1t is just as necessary to keep the

The very best possible way to take
care of yourself is to take glass of hot
water before meals and an "Anurlc

solved with the food, picked up by the

where it has tonic eff 'ect in rebuilding
those organs.

1t seems that among other money Mrs Hetty Green
had left her the Of $15OO00O given her for life
by cousin but which at her death was to revert to the
heirs of the cousins father Gideon Rowland Gideon
some father in Israel to speak, having family Of
thirteen children each of whom took after the old
family raisers, and also sproued large families This
trait seemed to be fixed and the result is that there
supposed to be some 1900 lineal heirs and
descendants of the original Gideon, among whom this
$15OOO0O is to be divided This square divide would
give each about $780, AS there to be nnumerabe
law suits it is fair to presume that the original Howland
fortune will be divided pretty thoroughly among the east
lawyers. This money left to the cousin in 1928
but just when the cousin passed it to Hey is not
known. However if it turned over to her by $780,
and had drawn interest since, it would require all of
Hettys vast fortune to pay it and there would be de-
ciency judgment taken for the balance for would not
pay fifty cents the dollar This again suggests the
question was Hetty Green financier?

What to Do for Eczema

Greasy salves and ointments should not
be applied If good clear skin is wanted.
From any druggist for 25c or S1.00 for
extra large size, get bottle of zemo.
When applied as directed, il effectively
removes eczema, quickly stops itching,
and heals skin troubles, also sores, harms,
wounds and chatting. 1t penetfates,
cleanses and soothes. Zemo is dependable
and inexpensive. Try it, as we believe
nothing YOU have ever used is as effective
and satisfying.

BIG STAMPEDE TO ToLsTor.

Mitchell arrived in the city from Ophir on Sunday last with the news of strikeSin the Innoko dis trict, and as news continued to drift in from other sources, by Wednes- day there had developed a fullfedg- ed stampede to the new discovery which threatened to .depopulate the entire Iditarod district of all able bodied men who could get away. Probably for the first time in the history of the city the streets are practically free of dogs, every avail able animal being requisitioned. for hauling supplies, and those who have been agitating for a dogless city had chance to see how their ideas would work out if put into ex- ecution.
 By Wednesday morning the stam- pede fever was at it's height, but all day Thursday, and on Friday, more men and teams were leaving for the scene of the new discovery. It was current talk that had the election for city councilmen been set for a day later there would scarcely have been sufficient men to hold an election.

 Reply of the Court.
 In rendering his decision the court said he could see no sense or jus tice in the criticism of the public press on the matter one year ago. and unless the attorneys or the liquor dealers could throw more light on the matter for the court. his present order would stand.
 The court room was crowded with dealers from Juneau and Douglas. and general dissatisfaction was ex- pressed that Judge Jennings did not modify his order so that straight out and out election could be held between the wet and dry forces.

night of March 19 by Andy Sch- wartzdahl, who claimed that he had found pay on Mastodon creek, about ten miles from it's mouth It was on q tributary of Mastodon creek Boob creek-that excellent prospects recently were discovered which re- suited in a small stampede from Ophir. Boob is tributary of Mas todon, which is tributary of the Tolstoi, the latter forming june ton with the Ditna and flowing into the Innoko a few miles above Dis hakaket.
 MT. Schwartzdahl exhibited gold which he had banned from his claim which was flat and heavy and had run three feet of gravel. His pann- ings had shown results of anywhere from 10 cents to 50 cents. This was on shallow bench ground, averaging about ten feet in depth. The creek bed is said to wet ground, and there has been little or no prospecting there.
 The news of the find spread ra- pidly in Ophir, and by the morning of the 30th the male population was noticeable for its absence. Most of the male residents were "on their way" and dog teams were at a premium.
 To add to the exciting excitement, what was deemed to be reliable news came that Greer &McNulty, on Boob creek, the scene of the recent stam- pede, had struck pay. Reports were that they had three feet of gravel that banned anywhere from 6 cents to 35 cents. The dirt seem- ed to be getting better as they pro- ceeded with their drift. There were already about twenty men on the that creek, with three small boilers. The ground was said to be all frozen and there was s depth of thirty-fve feet to bedrock
