IHiitlti NEEDS NO PROTECTION Along the northwest, coast of tho Pacific there are still great re sources of pine, fir and cedar. Oregon, Wasinsfton Territory and Alaska are our great reserves. As to to the latter territory, wo have made no impression on the forests there. It is a territory without organization, given over to barba rism, fur monopoly, illicit trading and the devil. But the timber alone is worth more than was originally paid for the country. British Columbia, a province of the Dominion of Canada, is sand wiched between Washington Ten i tory and Alaska. It has a broad belt of timber along the coast of Douglas fir and cedar, two of the best kind of timber for a variety of uses. Of course, if the duty on lumber were taken off, all of this belt would in some sense be made accessible to this market. The American manufacturers of) lumber on the Pacific coast do not i need any protection. The3' have , advanced the price within the last j few months from three to four j dollars a thousand feet, and of course have been coining money. The reason assigned for the larjre advance in price is the increasing demand, which is ahead of facili-, ties. The real reason is, we take it, that a combination has been able to limit the supply in order i to advance prices. It is also ap parent that there is an increasing export demand, and that this de mand is likely to go on increasing until a very large fleet of ships j will be employed in transporting J lumber from the Northwest Pacific j coast to foreign countries. This I growing demand will make rapid j inroads upon the forests of this coast. The lumber interests in California will gradually decrease in importance, because the supply of good forest timber, especially along the coast, is limited, and because lumber for man' purposes can be procured from the Puet Sound country cheaper. It is clear that while the danger of the immediate denudation of the forests here is not so great, the lumbermen of the Pacific coast do not need any protection. The belt of timber along the coast and inlets of British Columbia, would be added to our resources, and the life of forests at home would be somewhat prolonged. '. JT. Bulletin. A well-known place of physical refreshment in Concord, N. H., is presided over by John Adams, a m.in nf :nnh tonror cnncilnltfii.c that when, the other night, just as he was shutting up shop, he dis-1 covered a half-frozen owl on the I doorstep, he took -the bird in and I made it comfortable. When he 1 retired for the night he left the owl perched upon the safe, to which one of its legs was fastened with a stout cord, and blinking with extreme frnititude and de votfon. As soon as he had gone, the owl bit the cord in two, de Toured everv iragmentof food on s well-stocked lunch counter, sam-. pled every kind of liquor in the saloon, broke all the bottles and decanters within reach, and in the morning when the door was opened was standing solemnly behind the bar readv for business. The Truckee river is now frozen to the bottom. In passing along over the glassy surface o( the stream, whole schools of trout arc seen firmly fixed just where the cold wave struck them. The ranchmen living along the river now go fishing with axes, and in some places chop out a dozen of the "speckled beauties1' in a bunch. Territorial Enterprise. What It Costs to Stop a Train. The cost of stopping a train of cars is being iruessed at by experts ju.st now in a very interesting wav. And it is something worth the inquiry of railroad men, espe cially in Connecticut, says the Hartford Coura7itt where, besides the stations there are so many drawbridges at which the safety of the traveling public demands full stops. Estimates of the cost have ranged from one quarter of a cent up to l for stopping an or dinary passenger train. The small figure represents only the esti mated loss of metal by applying the brake to the wheel. Some of the real considerations that go to make up the cost of a stop are the coal burned while tho train is standing still and in order to re sume the lormcr sptipd. This the Pennsylvania Railroad people put at twelve to fifteen cents; then there ate the wages of all the per sons on the. train, who, whilo the train slows down and stops are paid as if they were running. This is insignificant in the case of one person, but it amounts to something when the whole train force is considered; besides these there is the wear of rails. A rail lasts only a third as long where trains come to astopon it as when merely run over. This is the re sult of the action of the brakes. Then, too, more accidents occur to engines, to wheels and to axles in j coming to a stop and in starting again than when running right along. The Railroad Gazette re ports a discussion on this subject in which the conclusion is reached that the actual cost of stopping a tram is about 30 to GO cents. An j amusing story is told of a trial ! where experts testified that it cost 2 to stop a train. They estab lished the fact. Then the counse on the other side produced the company's time-table with a full list of all the stops, including sta tions, took the total number of its trains, calculated the total stop pages of all the trains for one year, multiplied the result by $2 the expert's estimate of cost and demonstrated that tho stoppages alone had, if the estimate was right, . cost tho company three times as much as the entire amount of its operating expenses for the year. This reduction to a solid basis of facts upset the $2 theory effectually. The Clyde ship-building trade in 1SS2 is stated, by the Glasgow Herald, to have been one of unusu al activity. The returns present a total of 50,912 tons above the total constructed in 1SS1, and 129,500 tons in excess of 1874. Many of the Clyde builders are said to have more tonnage already ordered for 18S3 than they have turned out during the past year, which speaks well for the prospects for 1S83. There were launched during the 'ear by the various firms engaged in ship-building on the Clyde 291 vessels, of an aggregate tonnage of 391,931 tons, as against 2G1 vessels and 341,022 tons during 3S81. 'The use of steel in the construction of vessels is said to be on the increase. The majoritj of large steamers are said to be built of that material. Senator Chilcott, of Colorado, had .nil his worldly possessions stolen from him in 18G0, and he went to work as a day ladorer on a farm. He has now a large and valuable property at Pueblo, where ho resides.
