A Mr Reamea from Medford haa
bought the B T George place near Po­

Wheeler of Shelburn. He brought the
finest team of Missouri blue-black
mules that 1 have seen in Oregon. I
atw just such matched mulca used by
tl»e rich as carriage teams in the corn
belt Imfore the civil war.
He also
brought the biggest touring automo­
bile that I have ever seen.

I visited a logging camp and was
Surprised at the way of loading cars
Formerly tney ran a small cable under
the center of the log and through a
pulley across the track and rolled it on
by the tiower of the donkey engine.
Now they cut off the Lips of two tre. i
1U0 to 12U feat high
They fix two
large steel pulleys to the tops of the
trees through which runs a heavy cal -■
from the engine. On the cable is a
trolley from which ia two small cables
about dn feet long. On the lower end
of each la a large sharp hook The en­
gineer "pays out“ the large cable and
it sags dnwn in the middle bringing the
hooks down to the log. Two men each
grasp a hook and fasten into the end»
of the log. The engineer moves an­
other lever and causes the big cable to
raise the log 1U or 15 feet off the
ground
He pulls another lever and
move» the trolley and log over the car
and drops it on the car- I »aid. "Ilow-
do they cut the top off so high up?" A
young man standing by said, "I do that
alone." He took much pains to ex­
plain. He to >k me along the track to a
new loading place where he had just
