Smith Lumber ft Manufacturing Company, of Marsh- f!r!.i. Tha new process of operation by electricity will revolutlonlae the log- jlng business In thla locality. If not In the whole Coast country, and the teat which are brln made here hare at tracts the attention of lumbermen throughout the Coast district. While the establishment of the neces sary p'.ant and equipment wltl require the Smlth-Powera Company to expend a larre um of money, there will be a Kreat saving over the ue of ateam. which It Is believed Justifies the outlay- The plnn In short l to build near the Pmlta mill a Inrjce electric a-eneratlna; plant where the waste wood from the mill mill he burned as fuel. From thla central ft-neratin plant the electrlo power will be transmitted nr wire under h!a-h voltaae to the various log ging camps throughout the county. At tha camps It will be transformed to the proper voltage for the motors. Klec trlr donkeys Instead of steam donkeys will be used to pull tha logs. The testa are bring made by the Fmtth-Powers Company In connection with the Westlnahouse Electric Manu facturing Company and tha Willamette Iron and Steel Works. The latter com panv furnished the logging yarder. A. H. Powers, head of the locglng com pany, worked out the logging details and S. E. H"dire. representing the West Inghouse company Is here looking after the electrical features. Arrangement of the electrlo donkey Is the same as with a steam engine ex cept that In place of the steam engine Is substituted a ICS horsepower motor which I connected to the big drum of the yarder. Mr. Powera estimates that In the aeven logging campa operated In this county by his company he uses for fuel In the steam engines wood which If aved and cut into lumber would be worth loO.OOO a year. The electric gen erating plant will burn tha waste from the mill. The engineer required for the electric machine need be of no higher pay than tha engineer of the steam engine, while the steam enrlne requires two woodchoppers and a fire man, which are done away with by the use of electric machines. Mr. Powers estimates that he can save the wages of 100 men or more In hi camps. Fire lo caused by sparks from the steam engines In the woods and the cost of watching such fires Is esti mated by Mr. Powera to be SO0O a year. The electricity eliminates this danger and expense. Mr. Powers say that It would cost the Smith companies about J4S0.00O to make 'the change from steam to elec tricity, but that he estimates there will be a saving of $150,000 a year. Mr. Powers says he Is convinced that under ordinary conditions on the Coast the use of electricity by any of the large logging companies will enable them to take out loga at a saving of about tl a thousand over tha cost where steam engines are used. charge, says It will be completed by January 1. New partitions have been made on the aecond floor so aa to give additional space to all the depart ments.

County Judge Beatle will have a pri vate office adjoining the courtroom.

The Sheriffs office on the ground floor will occupy the space formerly used by thla department and the County Clerk, and the County Clerk's office will be where the old County Court room and the County Judge'e office were. There will be no change In the Treasurer's and Assessor's of fices. The Recorder will have the present office and a part of the ground floor of tha addition.
