LOGGEHA IX A DILKMMA.
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.

streets were crowded with people
from all parte of Southern Cali

parade as they came In division
order, or four line, of four vessels
each, and dropped anchor off Colo

wharves and bMCh were crowded

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. A
oommon mlatake ia to orown too high
witn the road machine on n narrow
road.
Tb. split log drag sboud bs nsed to
Oil In ruts and smooth the road when
not too badly washed, . 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.

Tb. differences were sll amicably ad
