and part Of them go to Palestine and
to Jerusalem. These light yet strong
trucks have been found very useful
in crossing the desert countries.
Like the camel, they can go long
time with very little water and they
carry their own gas with them.
The peoples in these Eastern coun-

especially the light trucks. They fin

And the location of the Rainier fac

SAWED A MILLION
FEET OF LUMBER

The Skinner Lumber Co. of St.
Johnsbuly has recently completed
saving million feet of lumber on
the Nelson farm in Wheelock. The
mill has been located on the HOyt
farm near the South Wheelock
church and last week they began
moving to the T. Buckley farm. 1t
will take about three weeks to set up
the mill when they will begin on
an all winters job cutting the timber
on the Buckleys and Morgan farms.
1t is estimated that they have now
purchased enough timber lands on
the farms in that vicinity to keep the
mill busy for two or three years.
