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.
