It was formerly the custom of each lumber interest to maintain a force of couriers, like the voyagers of the Hud son Bay Company, and these hurdy men, with knapsuck, would travel twenty-five miles a day through the wilderness, over rough forest paths. Now the mill calls each camp in turn at stated hours and- receives re ports and gives instructions to the foreman and it is not necessary to dwell on the commercial advantages of maintaining such close touch be tween headquarters and outposts in any enterprise. Letters are read to men snowed in the forest filfty or a hundred miles away and answers dic tated by the lumbermen to a stenog rapher, who transcribes them In the office and then mails them to their homes. i The relative contentment among the men which is established by this fre quent communication is highly advan tageous to the working force, and therefore to the employers. The applications of the telephone to the operations of lodging are alike novel and useful. The lines are run upon forest trees along the bunks of rivers, and telephones which are placed in sheltering boxes are attached to trees and connected with the Hue. The bete noir of logging is tue col lecting of the logs together at some narrow place In a turbulent stream and piling upon each other In a "jam" to j which contributions are made by every log floating down the river to this spot j The formation of a jam results from some obstacle and generally occurs without warning, and it requires great labor, fraught with peril, to remove the logs from their constricted posi tion. It is frequently necessary to use dynamite, and much lumber is destroy ed by such explosions. With the use of the telephone warn ing of tlie initial formation of a jam can be given by one of the men pa- Veteran Organist.

He has been orgunlst at the parish church for sixty-four years. Often the Case. Customer Catchom & Choatein ire announcing another big. drop in prices.

TOPS Rrifl) an 11 m Columbus, Ohio, May 20, 1903. Six years ago I had a severe attack of Inflammatory Rheumatism. I was laid up in bed for six months, and the doctors I bad did me no good. They changed med icines every week and nothing they pre scribed seemed to help me. Finally I be gan the use of S. S. S. My knee and elbow trolling the banks, who telephones to the men up the river to stop the fur ther flow of logs at calm places termed "trips," and it is an easy matter to break the small jam, for which fur ther assistance can be bad by sum moning men from points lower down the stream. As soon as the small jam is removed the, men above are told through the telephone to release the logs .held at the "trip" and the stream of logs Is re sumed. Under, former conditions a larger number of men were employed, and when a Jam was begun It was neces sary to send messengers from one to three miles through the forest In va rious directions to direct the gangs to stop the flow of logs and others to summon help who are down the stream to come up and break the jam, which had meanwhile time to ampli fy, and then, after the jam had been broken, second messengers must be sent up the stream to release the logs at the "trip." By the promptness of telephonic communication the rate of sending logs down the stream is increased by the avoidance of delays. Beyond this the use of the telephone renders log-driving feasible on the smaller rapid, rough streams, where it was formerly out of the question. J Chicago Chronicle. He Got Right TJp.
