Fall And Winter Good
Time To Cut Timber

Fall and through winter is a
good time to cut timber for farm
buildings, says F. w. Dean, Ohio
State University extension for
ester. At this time there is less
danger of attacks by diseases
and insects to both logs and lum-
Der.
Rough lumber for barn and
shed framing can be used direct
ly from the sawmill, Dean says.
This especially applies to beech,
hard maple, oak, sycamore and
elm, which are difficult to work
when dry.
Lumber from house framing
and special uses, such as interior
finishing and flooring should be
| seasoned, air or kiln dry.
A good foundation and ade-
quate air drainage under timber
structures are important in any
| building, Dean points ou@. This
is excellent insurance against
rot, decay, and termites. When
close to the ground non-durable
woods, such as beech, elm, maple
and red oak, should be chemi-
cally treated with wood preser-
vatives. This especially applies
to pole barns and all other Struc-
lures where the timbers come
directly in contact with the soil
| Local saWmill operators re-
port there is a strong demand
for home grown native lumber
This is particularly true of the
| typical farm woods areas. Farm
owners can look to their woods
as a ready supply of lumber fol
their building needs, Dean says.

Freight Boost Adds TO
Lumber Costs

Western Montana, already plagued
by the nations highest freight rates,
effective late this month will find
lumber shipments increased about $50
carload.
The freight shipment boost results
from increases granted railways by the
Interstate Commerce Commission. The
railroads pointed out their highest
costs.
A. e. McKane Columbia Falls agent
for the Great Northern, Thursday
morning did not have information on
the freight rate increase, nor appar-
emily was this information available
in Whitefish or KalispeH.
Effective date for the increase is
believed to be Dec. %.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion order apparently takes into ac-
count the agricultural slump-freight
rates are held down on grain. A $50
boost on a car of lumber is not much,
but the freight rate for lumber out of
the Flathead is already high enough to
be penalty on local numbering and
West Coast mills pay
less freight. 1t costs about $500 for
freight to ship carload of Flathead
lumber to the Midwest. - HUNGRY

WORTH YOUR READING TIME

Just the other day | got hold of a
book which l believe is must" read
ing for the student of democracy. It's
name is GOVERNMENT BY INVESTI-
CATION and it's author is Alan Barth
of the Washington (D.C) POST &
TIMES-HERALD. Barth in looking at
the fragrant abuses of Congressional
inyestigatory power in recent years
(sic. McCarthyism), shows that such
abuse has been recurring thing in
American political life ever since the
early days of the Republic. He reminds
the reader that the Founding Fathers
were aware of the danger of legislative
tyranny, in addition to the then re-
cent experiences with executive tyr
amy as forced upon the colonies by
King George LII.
Because the authors OF the COnsti-
tuition were determined to place every
possible road block in the way of tyr
rannical designs, whether by the exec
utive, the judiciary, of the legislative,
they attempted to establish very def
mite limitations ON the power of each
branch of government. Following
through from 1887 on, Barth reviews
attempts by politically am
bilious congressman to stifle freedom
of speech and press, with particular
emphasis on the 80 years since the
Civil War. Barth recognizes the need
or congress having the power to in
but strongly advocates the
urbing of abuses of that power Copies

Rail Freight Rates Are
Far Ahead Of
Wage Increases

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(NFU)-
Railroad freight rates have increased
far more in the last six years than the
cost of wage increases for railway la
Dor, according to figures published by
the ICC.
Wage increases granted to railway
labor in 1851 through 1855 increased
the cost Of hauling a unit of freight by
1870. During that same period, the
railroad companies were granted rate
increases totaling 14%.
Another increase in freight rates
was granted to the railroads March 2.
1856, which brings the total rate in
crease to 20%6. Figures are not yet
available to show the wage cost per
unit Of freight for 1856, but it would
probably be up somewhat above 1855
because a wage increase granted late
in 1865 would be counted in for all of
1856. Increased efficiency (fewer man
hours required to handle a given vol
ume Of freight or passenger traffic.
has been partially off-setting the wage
increases granted during the 6-year
period.
The railroads argue they need still
higher rates in order to pay for higher
wages.

Money in this case was refunded
to those who had paid their
grandstand admission.
Although many attended the
fair Saturday, it was still very
easy to get stuck and tractors
were once again brought into
play on that day.
The Saturday night show was
cancelled by the fair board and
many of the concessions left
early and went to the Washing
ton county fair at Marietta. Ironi-
cally ideal weather prevailed for
this neighboring fair.
Secretary Walkenshaw said
this is the first time in many
years that the Noble county fair
had been completely washed
out"
From a financial standpoint,
the fair board took a licking, as
we'll as those who had eating
concessions for the fair.
1t was estimated that 1900 paid
admission on Wednesday with
another fair sized crowd on
Thursday. But from there on in,
the fair attendance took a very
decided slump.
