RrmoTnl of Duty on llritlsh Colum bia Loga la (lie I,nt Straw Seattle, Wash., April 13. Timber land owners and loggcra are viewing the situation with alarm. The re cent removal of the 1 2 export duty on British Columbia logs bids fair to drLve prices even lower than at present, and by well-known loggers the atatement Is made that rather Shan .ubmlt to a further reduction the majority of the camps will be closed. That the lumber and logging in terests aro getting, a cross-fire from three sides la the view tbey take of tb situation. The rate litigation was bad enough and the closing down of ao many mill, baa bad a bad ef fect on the logging situation. Then loggers and timber land owners have had tbetr assessments Increased ninny fold In many In stances. County Assessors have levied on thousands ot feet ot stand ing Umber not before assessed and they promise to go even further. Then comes the prospective further drop In price, resulting from the removal of the export duty on British Columbia logs. FLEET SAILS FOR THE GOLDEN GATE STARTS OS I.AKT LAP OK VOY AK KlfoM II VUI'TON ISOAD.S TO SAX KltAXIiSCO.

Sailing In alngl. column forma tion th. ships passed Ball Roek and, rounding Bntrada Point, on. ot lb. headlands marking 4b. gateway to tb. harbor, turned In a long etrcle to th. north.

An easy Journey of 630 miles lies before the flew, which 1. scheduled to arrive her. and anchor off Coro nado Beach at 1 p. m. on Tuesday. San Diego, OaL, April 14. Punc tually on time, tbe great battleship fleet .teamed Into thht harbor at 1 o'clock this afternoon, amid tbe booming of cannon, th. shout, of cltixens and tbe .train, of martial music. The city was profusely dec orated for the occasion and th. streets were crowded with people from all parte of Southern Cali fornia to witness tb. great naval parade as they came In division order, or four line, of four vessels each, and dropped anchor off Colo rado Beach on schedule time. Tbe wharves and bMCh were crowded wltb spectator, as th. .hip brok.

County and township otllcials may at too outset aUnd th. ejepeo. of having a road built, but they atr.nuou.ly object whan aaked to provld. funds to rebuild th. road that baa been al lowed to go to rain. It Is tmpoitaut that farmer, laarn ol to. benedta to be derive, from good earth roads, that (county boards be Impressed wltb tb. need of proper maintenance of tbe aame, and mat road builders and oveiseera learo now best to oare for th. roada lo their cbriue 'Xbe persistent and , powerful enemies of earth road, are watei and nuriow tires, aud the constant effort of the man lu charge of the roads should be to guard against their des truutiv. eileots aud lemedy all dam age at quickly aa porsible. The imple Implements which have been found to be of giestsst usvietance iu this work are tbe plow, toe drug scraper, the wheel scruper, tbe toad grader, aud the spllt-log drag. V ith a .any soil aud a subaoil of clay, or cluy aud gravel, detp plow iug .0 ii to rulhe and Oilx the cia with the surface soil anil saud will prove beueliulal. The combiuatioa tonus a saud-clay road at a tiiiliiig expeuse. Ou the other hand, if the loud be eutlrely of sand a mistake will be made it It is ploaed uulena clay can be added, tjuch plowing would merely deepen the sand, and at toe eaiu. tinia break up tbe small amount of bard surface material wbicb may bav. formed. If tbe aub aoll la clay and tb. surface scant In sand or gravel, plowing should not be resorted to, as It would result In a clay surface rather than one of sand or gravel, A toad, foreman must know not only what to plow and wbat not to plow, but bow and when to plow. If tbe road I. of tbe kind wmeb aoooidlng to tbe above Institutions should be plowed over Its whole width, tbe beet method Is to ran the Bret farrow In th. mlddl. of tbe ro4 and work oat to th sides, thns forming crown. Meealts from such plowing are gTeaUct In tb spring or early sammer. In dttebes plow can be need to good edvanUge, bat sboald.be follow ed by sots per ot grader. To make wide, deep ditches nothing better tbsn tbe ordinary drag scraper baa yet been devised' For hauls under 100 feet, or In making 'fills" , It Is especially serviceable. It la n mis take, however, to attempt to bsndl. long haul material with tbla serapar, aa tbe wheel sci.pei Is better adapted to sutib work. For hauls of mor. than 100 feet, a wagon should be used. Tbe maobine most generally used In road work la th. grader, or road machine, Thla machine la especially useful in smoothing ana crowning tb. road and in opening ditches. A day subsoil under a thin coating of aoll sbond not be disturbed with a grader. It I. also a mlstak. to oae a grader indiscriminately and to poll material from dltonee upon a sand- clay road. Not Infrequently tort. Mil and .Ut from ditch bottoms are piled la tbe middle ot tbe road in a ridge, making mudholea a certainty. It Is Important In using a grader to avoid balldlng ap tbe rood too much at one time. A road gradoallly built up by frequent nae of tb. grader will last better than If completed at one operation. The foreman frequently think, bis road must be high lo tbe first Instance He pile, np material from ten finches to a foot In depth only to learn, with the arrival of tbe firat rain, that he has furnlhed tb. material for aa many inches cf mod. All material ahould be brought np In thin layers, each layer well puddl ed and firmly packd by roller or trattio before tb. n.xt la added.

The drag possesses great merit and Is so sim ple In construction add operation that every farmer should have one, A apaolal article will ba published later telling how to make and ase the drag.
