Here's Another
Home-Made Yam
About P. Bunyan
The winter Paul Ilunyan logsed
off Noiplh Dakota he had two oilers
working In his watch,, one using
hard oil, the other soft. The !ay
that Paul was finishing up tho
state, the hard oiler went to sleep
on the Job and a bearing got hot.
Along toward evening Paul" stop
ped to look at his watch to see If
ho would have time to move on to
another state, for Hrimstonc Hill
and Bubo were just snaking in the
last, section, and though the sun
wan low Paul always liked to be
able to start on a fresh job In the
morning.
When he pulled out hfs watch the
hot bearing burnt him, and he
dull cod around on ono foot, pound
ing tho stumps with his burnt fist.
Pretty soon It quit hurting, and
Haul discovered that he had driven
stumps into the ground all over a
section of land. Accordingly he got
Hlg Ole, who was the only man in
the outfit with as hard a hand as
Paul's, and between thorn they fin
ished driving the stumps in North
Dakota Into the ground before dork.
Paul didn't got camp moved that
night however.
The truth of this is proved by the
fact that , there are no stumps In
North Dakota. "

ALL EMPLOYEES

The Wheeler-Olmstead ' Lumber
company has adopted a plan of group
Insurance for Its employees, where
by every employee of the company
regardless of age, p'ayslcal condi
tion, or occupation is cliglblo to
take' out ono thousand dollars of
llfo Insurance without physical ex
amination. The employee pays six
ty, cents per month for this in
sUNinco, which Is deducted from' his
wages by the company each month.
Tho company bears the remainder
of the expense. In case of per
manent disability before the age of
sixty, the entire face of the policy

benoflciary. The beneficiary, may ba j
changed at any time. .
Several other lumber companies
are considering adopting this group
Insurance plan. Group Insurance U
rapidly becoming -more popular
throughout tho country) Before
tho plan c.in bo adopted, seventy
flvo percent of the employees must
sign up for It, Recently the North
ern Pacaflc adopted , this system,.
however, and only fifty-four out of
thirty thousand employees refused
to sign up for a policy.
The plan's ' benefits ifor tho em
ployee aro self evident; but Itl3
also nil advantage to tho employer
to 'oave Iho men interested in pro

FAMOUS ARTISTS DO
NOT APPEAR AT THE
COMMUNITY SMOKER
Although the Community club
smoker was a success, many of the
men were deeply disappointed by
the failure of the two most cele
brated artists on the program to
appear. Some time ago the fine
arts committee of the club arrang
ed for an affair that would be of
special appeal to those of the men
who. care for the higher things of
life. , . . ' ; . :' . .
The special feature of the pro
gram was to have been a song by
K. H. Pike, "Oh, I am Queen of
the May, trn, la," and he wis to
have beeu accompanied by Ace
Jackson ' with his saxophone. Pike
was to have rendered an interpre
tive dance, and Would have been
garbed in the customary habiliments
of aesthetic dancers,
For some unknown reason the
artists both failed ' to nrrive, and
the men were deoply disappointed,
they can think of no reason for
thp non-appearance of the celebrltes
save the vagaries, of artistic tem
perament. , .,. .

Remanufacturing for Small
Mills to be Feature
of Enterprise'
A considerable ' enlargement of
the re-manufacturing facilities of
Klamath county Is the new plant of,
the Sixth Street Lumber company, .
upon which construction will start
this week. The new structure will
be erected behind the building:
which was used last year. . The di
mensions of the building wilt be
seventy by one hundred and eight
feet. The equipment of the new
plant will consist of a Yates fast
feed matcher; a ui". resaw, a gang
rip, a trimmer, and a sorting table.
. Besides the regular work of a
planing mill, remanufacturing plant,
and retail yard, the bas'c Idea bo
hind the enterprise la to furnish the
small niilla of the county With re
manufacturing facilities equal to
those , of the large operators. The
company will make a specialty of
remanufacturing the output of the
smaller mills Into the shlplap, bevel
siding, rustic, dimension, and all tho
multiple varieties of building lum
ber. Instead of selling their lum
ber rough for whatever the brok
ers may care to pay for it, the small
mills may now have their lumber
put on the market la any shape they
desire. ' "1 . .v ' .

WELL DRILLERS :
LOSE TOOLS IN
NEW KIT'S WELL
Mill Will Start Operation,
as Soon as Water is
Available .. ..
Drilling on the well at Kitt's mill
reached a depth of 2T0 feet last
week when the drillings tools were
lost, and since then tho drilling
crew of C. Enloe has been fishing '
for the tools, according to Mr. Kitts,
who was In Klamath Falls Wednes
day evening conferring with other
Klamath county operators. The.
drilling crew is at present going
through a volcanic ash, somewhat
similar to tho soil around. Crater
Lake, and so porous that It will bo
necessary to case the well when
water Is struck to prevent It from
seeping away. According to Kitts
there is no doflnlte Indications of
water, but the drillers are prepar
ed to go to a depth of four hundred
feet or more to secure Water If
necessary.'
The Installation of the new boiler
has been .completed, and tho mill
will be ready for operations In o
few days. All thai , will hold up
operations is the completion of the
well. , '
In case the drillers are una bio to
get water, Kitts stated that water
would be piped to the mill from a
spring about a third of a mile dls-:
taut from tho mill site, ' , .'
Kitt's mill Is now located near tho
foot of Dald Unite, nnd has an ex
cellent stand of timber which It
will commence cutting thla season.
Kitt's mill was formerly located
about six miles from Bonanza, and
a halt mile from the mill site of
the Long Pine Lumber company.
