LUMBERLOGUE FAILS '
TO GO TO TENNANT
Misunderstanding and Failure to
Gi-t Men .Causes. Nonappearance
Due to erroneous information re
ceived during the week in regard to
two teams dropping out of the Tim
ber league, . Lumberlogue did : not
plan to go to Tennant Sunday until
Saturday night, when, it learned
that the league wag still intact.
Plans were laid late Saturday night
to leave Sunday morning for Ten
nant. Sunday morning, however,
two . players y failed to show up,
thinking the game had been post
poned, and one was ill. Consider
able time, was spent trying to get
substitute players, , but none were
available, and the team, did not go.
In the hope of finding substitute
players, . word was -not sent to Ten
nant, and -the Tennant tetm,was in
uniform and a crowd of people had
assembled to watch the game be
fore Tennant knew that Lumberlog
ue could not come.
NEW FRENCH CHAIN SAW
, A hew mechanical felling chain
saw' styled .''Scle-Rabot," Invented
and built in France, is offered to
to the lumber industry. The saw
Is of the endless chain type. It is
'built in two. sizes: Model B Is de
signed to cut trees up to 10 feet
in diameter and is operated, by 8
to 10 horse power motor and weighs
500 pounds. Mode C is designed
to cut trees up to four feet, weighs
226 pounds, and uses a four horse
power motor. .:
The scle-robat Is composed of an
endless chain called "chain-rabot,"
a power : distribution unit; support
ing framework. The "chain-rabot"-13
formed of links with cutting teeth
(or tracers) and rabots. The func
tion of the cutting teeth Is to trace
two parellel saw cuts, from between
which the rabots remove the wood
as the chain moves forward.
The power unit consists of an air
cooled gasoline engine of 6ne or
two cylinders, from-6 to 10 h. p.,
from which power Is distributed to
the chain by an axle, with a moivable
conceal bearing, which permits: the
cutting chain to be moved forward
or backward at will. The pinion
turns at a speed of 600 revolutions
giving the chain lineal speed of 22
feet per second. ' '
The framework is designed to car
ry the mechanism In such a way
as to make it easy of manipula
tion and easily -placed on wheels or
skids.
The chain, having its . cutting
points -turning Inward, may bo .in
stantly opened by means of special
links designed for the purpose, and
encircling the tree is again con
nected and drawn tight, the motor
started and gradually put into gear
and the movement of the chain be
gun. By means of a very-flexible
arrangement of Jack screws ' the
chain. Is drawn through the tree as
it cuts its way. Tho machine, la
designed to cut either horizontally
perpendicularly or at any angle
between, that may be desired by the
operator. The speed of the cut is
about three seconds per inch for
softwood and six seconds for hard
wood. A pine tree of 12 inches
In diameter is cut in about 36
seconds and an, oak of three feet in
about four minutos. The operation
Is very rapid, the chain will not
heat and will not jam in the cut,
even when the tree Inclines toward
the cut nlreadyj made. . Moreover,
In case of a break in the chain the
short section can be replaced, cut
ting go on, and a . new link easily
Inserted In place of tho broken -one.
Thus a great saivlng of time, bo
cause the repair Is Immediate- and
a saving of money because the cost
is limited to one small link. Lastly
the cut of the saw being on the dp
ftates the fall of the tree away
from tho machine, for when the cut
posito side from the machine, taen
ia threo-quarters made, the tree In
clines toward the mortise made by
the chain. , This mortise being about
oiro-lialf inch wide permits the easy
application of wedges. ... '

SALT WATER STRUCK
The well , that is being drilled by
the ' Shasta View Lumber and Box
company to supply the boilers and
as an auxiliary pond ' supply was
sunk to a depth of 210 feet before
good water was struck. The dril
lers found plenty ot water at a
shallow depth, but it was salty, and
of course unfit for use In the boil
ers. The drlllers-hink that they
have a good flow of -fresh water
now,' however, and are .at work
casing the well to keep the fresh
water .from mixing? with the salt
water as It Is pumped out. .

OUR DWINDLING
? FORESTS
B-; CALVIN COOLIDGE j
The era of free, wild timber Is 1
reaching its end, as the era of free,
wild food ended so long ago. -We'
can no longer depend on moving
from one primeval forest to another,
for already the sound of the ax has
penetrated the last of them. Wo
like to think 'that it took three cen
turies to harvest" these Immense for
ests. ' It Is comfortable , to believe
that they 'will last indefinitely still.
But In reality we .have cut most' of
our timber, 'not in the last three
hundred years, but In the last sev-'
enty-fivo years,, to eerve the great
expansion of population and industry
and thero is no reason to expect a
decline in the rate of cutting as long
as the forests 'last.
What has given us tola Illusion
of permanoncy? First, our etorod
timber which could be drawn on
with increasing speed and with the
appearance of plenty until the1 last
stick ot it should be done. Second
ly, a transportation system that has
permitted our sawmills to follow
the retreating forests and to ship
their product to distant buyers'.' Our
markets have been full of timber.
Only In the higher cost, tho long
haul, the near exhaustion of certain
kinds of wood, and the sharply fal-
Jlng per capita cpnsutnpUon have
wo dimly sensed the dwindling of
our forests. - ' .
