While the large sawmills of 4he county have . been running for wme time, the majority of the smaller anills are just biglnnlng on their season's work. Thus the payrolls of , the county are bfglnlng to Increase as ', , usual at this season of the year. Dur - in the latter part of 107 it was fear ed that many of the smaller sawmills ". f the county, owing to the demoral .' twj condition of the finances and ih lumber market, would not be able run. But the financial skies cleared away in a great measure, and the eastern demand for lumber Is re . suiting In spring orders and the log ging camps and sawmills will all be tuny soon. A gentleman who has been look ing over the valley for the past two weeks, remarked last night that he never was In such a country before.

It Is believed that the number of fatalities as the remilt of collisions will be materially reduced by the In troduction of this clans of equipment. In the opinion of the traveling men, legislation of this character for the nrotertlon of life ar.d limb Is far more Important than the reduction In passenger rats.
