(XMOIODIOUS Experiment to Me Made On Coos Bay May Revolution ize Logging Business. Plans for supplanting steam with electricity in their logging operations aro now under consideration by tho Smith-Powers Logging company nnd oxperlmentB will begin within a fow weeks to determine whether or not It can bo successfully done If tho experiments prove tho success of elec tricity in this work, It will practically revolutionize the logging business on the Pacific coast. Owing to the fact that It Is still In tho experimental stagca of tho copipany, A. II. Powers, head of tho Smith-Powers compony, did not caro to make any announcement concern ing tho project. However, It Is known that tho Wostlnghouso ipiectrlcnl company aro cooperating In tho experiment to bo mado hero nnd nlrcndy liavo a repre sentative, Mr. Hodges, hero. Tho machinery will reach hero shortly and tho experiments of tho electrical donkey will he made nenr tho mill. If electricity can bo successfully used, it is estimated that tho cost of logging will bo reduced In tho neigh borhood of thirty per eont. How ever, tho big thing In It will bo tho practically eliminating of forest fire hazards In tho camps, tho reduction of accident liability and that It will bo more convenient. Tho elimina tion of steam besides reducing tho number of employes required to run an engine from three or four to ono will also eliminate tho consumption of good timber ns fuel. Another factor will bo that tho appliance of steam will enable tho Installation of n central power plant at tho mills where tho sawdust and wnBto can bo utilized, thUB solving tho question of disposing of it nnd also converting waste Into money. Tho cost of Installing tho largo amount of equlpmont necessary for supplanting steam with electricity will bo enormous but If It Is u suc cess, tho Smith-Powers compnny nro prepared to do It as they rocognlzo It will be a big step in ndvnnco and will bo in keeping with their policy of socuring tho best equlpmont In tho world.
