GIRLS' HOME AT PORTLAND,
Judge Trenchard yesterday after
noon ordered that little 3-year-old
Lillie Niemi, who has been deserted
by her father and mother, be taken
to the Home for Boys and Girls at
Portland. Last evening Sheriff Pome
roy took the child to Portland, where
she will stay and grow up to woman
hood in the institution that the State
has provided for such cases.
The matter was presented to Judge
Trenchard yesterday by Mrs. Amanda
Larsen and Mrs. Mathilda Hillstron,
who reside in Uniontown. According
to the story told by Mrs. Larsen, with
whom the child has been living and
her story was amply corroborated by
others whom the probate judge inter
viewed before sending the- little girl
away the father deserted his wife
and infant daughter about a year ago.
He made a living here by fishing. Re
cently the mother, Mary Niemie,
placed her daughter in the care of
Mrs. Larsen, agreeing to pay her a
monthly stipend for the care of the
child. Then Mrs. Niemie went away,
and it is alleged that she is now lead
ing a life of shame in Aberdeen. She
failed to pay anything for the care of
her little girl and Mrs. Larsen, who
has children of her own, and is a
hard working woman, could not sup
port the little one. Such appeared to
be the facts in the case, and opparent
ly there was nothing to do but send
her to the public institution.
The girl is a bright looking child,
and though sheftalks no English, is
ready and quick.
Judge Trenchard said yesterday
that there are altogether too many
cases of abandonment of children
among some of the foreigners.
"The better class among the for

apparently some" of the lower ones
don't seem to care what becomes of
their little ones and as a result they

as is more often 'the case, must be j

ELECTRICITY IN SAWMILLS.
Interesting History Of The Industry
and The Great New Power. .
Standing in the United States to
day are a great many buildings, in a
oerfect state of preservation, built
long before Benjamin Franklin tested
the lightning in the clouds and proph
esied the power of electricity. The
heavy frames of these ancient build
ings were hewn from the logs by
hand, and the marks of the carpenter's
broad-axe can still be seen on the
time-stained timbers.
The earliest method of obtaining
boards was by whipsawing them from
the log by hand. In this process the
log was squared with the broad-axe,
the edges of the timber were marked
for the thickness of the board desired
and two men, at opposite ends of a
lure rin-iw. strioDed off the board.

process. During tlie tnirtccnm cent
ury nn effort was made to drive saw
mills by wind-power,' but it resulted
in a total failure or want of sufficient
energy
... :n ....t

United States was constructed in 1634
at the Piscataqua Falls, in the statehbtsed because w.th he mnch nc
of Maine. This mill was very crude,
but it did the work of half a dozen
men. A larg rip-saw moved up and
down at the rate of 120 times a minute
driven by water power, and the logs
were carried end first against the saw
on a simple carriage. The saw was
kept in line by sliding blocks in a
solid frame, The mill was very crude,
only producing about 500 feet of lum
ber a day, but it was beter than
sawing boards by hand. Duplicates
of this mill sprang up all over the
colonies, and soon the noise of the
sawmill was beard throughout the
land, For tlo most part they were
all constructed like the first until
some ingenious Yankee . discovered
that he could combine two rip-saws
in the same frame about an inch apart
and saw off two boards at once.
Wiht this improvement the "gang
saws" came into being and doubled
the product of the mills which, be
cause they produced so little lumber
in a day's work, were taxed to the ut
most of their capacity.
Little, if any further improvements
were inaugurated in sawmill work
until the middle of the nineteenth
century when the circular saw was in
vented. Immediately the lumber
business was revolutionized and the
cost of producing lumber dropped off
fully half. The circular saw ripped
up the ljgs with astonishing speed,
doubling and quadrupling the output
of the mills.
Up in 1835 water-power was almost
exclusively used in sawmill work.
That year the first stream mill was
equipped, and as the forests disap
peared before the sawmills and the
water-power became less and less, the
.nnwrr iifr:iTne it's ami cs. mc I
began to adopt steam-power'
nuns oegan 10 auopi Mcam-powcr

running by steam.
Only about a score of years ago the
, .nny.(., to sawmill
work. The band-saw was known be
fore the circular saw, but is was diffi
cult to manufacture these saws large
enough and with enough stability to
withstand the severe strains of saw
mill work. Just as the circular saw
had relegated the up-and-down saw
to the scrap-heap so the band-saw re
placed the buzz-saw. With the thin
band-saw moving with lightning rap
idity the sawing of a log was a mat
ter of a very few minutes, and the out
put" of the mill was again doubled.
The next noteworthy improvement
was the adoption of electric drive.
There is probably no industry in
which the power demands are more
exacting, for the power required in
sawmills varies not only with the kind
of timber handled, but also upon its
condition when passing through the
mill.
Steam engines with their boiler fur
naces are extremely dangerous around
sawmills where everything is covered
with splinters, sawdust and wood-dust
so dry it ignites almost as easily as
eun-powder. The first types of elec
tric motors were also dangerous, be
cause 'as soon as they began to take
on a bit of overload they began to
souttcr and spark. But' within the
past few years the induction, or alter
nating current motor has been per-;
fected which is now extensively used
to drive sawmill machinery. This
new motor is so simple it consists of
practically three pieces, like a shaft
suspended between two hangers, and
it will not spark.
The number of sawmills equipped
with electricity in this country and
Canada almost equals those equipped
with steam-power. At Bogalusa,
Louisiana, the largest sawmill in the
world has just been completed which
was entirely equipped with electricity
by the General Electric Company.
The machinery in this modern mill is
all driven by direct-connected induc
tion motor- doing away with all belts
and shafting; the mill and yards are
lighted with electricity so the work
can continue night and day. In the
Northwest several portable electric
sawmills are in operation. The
electricity is secured from water-power
and cabled to the mill by overhead
transmission. As the timber is cut
the mill is moved further in the for
ests by adding -a few more rods of
transmission wire.
One of the strongest arguments in
favor of steam is that the waste and
refuse of the mill can be burned un
der the boilers. Several of the electrically-equipped
miljs utilize the
waste in this same way, and the steam
produced is used to drive turb!ne-gen-erators
and the machinery is driven
by electricity.
The United States census shows
that in 1900 30,0(30,000,000 feet of lum-
hpr were cut in this country. Not
only are a large number of the saw-
mills, which produce this enormous
amount of lumber? equipped with
electric power and light, but most of
the. wood-working plants throughout
the country ;ire driven by electric
.h-lnower. In the wood-working indu

direct connected to individual motor
there is no waste of power to turn
long lmes of shafting, Happing belt
and machines which are not being
used. ' ' ' '
PROFITABLE AGE OF FOWLS.
The question as to which is the
most t m'I '.table breed of 1 nvls, is very
ircp'ii!i;.v asked. Thcc arc un-(h-ii.NVIy
dittererccs in breeds In t
undue importance should no: be plac
ed u,r n breed. The trap nos; has
how tha there is more difference in
individuals than in breeds. Breed
isn't everything. We must get away
from that idea in poultry-keeping. If
a man starts in the poultry business
with "the best breed , as he believes,
and has with it the notion that breed
is everything hc will meet with inevit
able failure. The breed may be all
riuht but the fowls must be encourag
ed to do their best by good care and
management. When eggs are firm
at 40 cents a dozen and the hens fail
to respond the owner is likely to be
come unreasonable and take up with
another breed, and most likely the
fault was not in the breed. 1 he fault
is usually one of two things: either
the hens are of a poor or non-produc
tive strain of the breed, or the man
agement is poor.
It is a point in management that I
wish to speak of here, one point in
many that must be taken into account
if poultry-keeping is to be made a
success. It is a Question of the most
profitable age of the hen. Poultrymen
who have kept in touch with poultry
investigations during the past few
years are pretty well informed . on
his point, but the importance of this
-
is not generally appreciat
- , - - ,
ed- The writer carried on for several
.... . .
years at the Utah experiment Station
' ,. . . ' . . . ...
I a line of experiments with the object
of determining the value of the hen
at -different ages for egg production.
The same hens were kept year
after year under similar conditions
and a record kept of production and
t tood consumed, i nese experi
ments proved that the hen is different
from the cow which retains or im
proves her productivity with age. The
first year was the most profitable, and
there was a gradual decrease in pro
ductiveness each succeeding ye'ar. It
is safe to figure this decrease at 25
per cent, each year. With average
prices for food and for eggs it is not
profitable to keep hens after they
have finished their second year of
laying. The first, or pullet year is
very profitable, the second will give
a satisfactory profit, but during the
third year the egg yield will seldom
pay for tthe food consumed.
These conclusions apply only of
course where the eggs are sold at mar
ket prices. Fowls that have a special
value as breeding stock should be
kept Ionizer, but the notion that "the
old speckled hen" is the good layer
should not be cherished unless she is
caught in the trap nest. The fact that
he sings a joyful lay, paints her comb
i brillian read and scratches a vig
orous scratch should not be accepted
as sufficient grounds for commuting
sentence.
It is safe to say that the poultry
keepers of this State would be many
thousand of dollars in the pocket by
rigorously killing off the hens every
two years and replacing them with
new stock with the exceptions noted
above.
Where the pullets and hens arc al
lowed to run together it will be nec
essarv to mark them, otherwise it
will be difficult to separate the old
stock from the young when it is de
sired to market them. The usual
method of marking is to punch a hole
in the web between the toes when the
chicks are hatched. This is easily
and quickly done with a punch which
may be purchased from the poultry
supply houses for 25 cents. A num
ber of different markings may be
made in this way. Where the practice
is to dispose of the hens every two
years it will be sufficient to mark them
every other y.ear
