COLVIN LOGGING MACHINE.
On of the most etnlv rxm on
the Columbia Biver I Mr. II. L."Colvln,
who enioy tha distinction of hauling
log with tha most unique contrivance
and the only one of its kind known to
man. It I called a "Clutch machine."
It i (he invention of a San Francisco
man and i the first and only on ever
built, although it i tba intention of its
uuikisr, now that Mr, Colyin has dem
onstrated it very superior quality a a
ig nauier, u run m tactory to the
limit of iu canauitv. helievins that the
machine will- revolutionize the logging
uumoess. : . , . N
The machine I, In ' fuct, an Immense
donkey t-ngine on whoels. The boiler Is
five fret in diameter and ten feet high.
The engine I enormously powerful.
Although it requires a track to rnn on,
it does not require an expenaive one, iu
speed I limited to four mile an hour,
or perhaps les, consequently tha rail
mav ba made ot chm material: anv
old chunks will do for tie and th
ground need not be leveled for the track.
Mr. Colvin i now haulimr a distance
of two mile and states that hi road is
very rough and ha many crook for the
reason tbat it Is policy to avoid expense
by going around isrge stump and other
obstruction rather than remove them.
Its sreatest claim to. favorable consid
eration, however, i It adaptability for
hauling np and down steep grades. Mr.
Colvin is now hauling down the side oi
a mountain where the rise is twentv
even (eet to every 100 feet In length,
and he experience no difficulty what
ever. Notwithstanding his haul is two
mile in length and the machine is
gaited at four mile or le an hour, be
can haul 100,000 feet per day and ha
repeatedly done o. Now ha is yarding
ing with a large engine and a bull team,
yet he find them both totally inadequate
to keep tli machine running. Next
season he will nse three engine for
yarding and expect to keep them very
busy to keep tha machine at work. He
ha at bl present location a half-sec
tion ol nne or to log off and expect tne
machine to pay for Itself several time
before thl i done.
The machine derive it name from a
large wheel furnished with eight power
ful clutches. These clutches operate on
a larrs stationary steel cable which ia
stretched alongside the track. Fiva ot
these elutcbe are constantly pulling at
the cable as fast as on let go another
one iesea th cable. Thus, while it
need I very limited. It rower is to
enormous that it is almost impossible to
furnish tb monster with a load. The
upper end of tb cable fastened to a
tree or stump, while the river end is
held in olaoe bv a "dead man." Mr.
Colvin' logging angina i located on a
mall tributary of tba Columbia near
westport.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES..
Ships can now go to ca with froien
ammunition. A method of utilizing
liquefied air on warship has been dis
covered which will render the explosion
of a magsslne, even when the ship Is in
action, almost impossible. The method
Is to so place the liquid air that it will
freeise the ammunition to several hun
dred degrees below cero. In that condi
tion it could not explode, even if a shell
did burst in th magazine.
There is a school district In Beno
County, Kan., In which there is a school
