At Unit time marking legs ns not thought of: I'aul had no iioed for Identification when tliero wore no logs hut his own, About tho time ho started tho Atlantic Ocean drive others hnd como Into tho Industry, and although their combined cut was Insignificant compnred to Paul's, I hero was duniier of confusion, and Paul hnd most to Iohv. At .first Paul marked his logs by Cv VY-v pinching a pleco out of" each log. When his cut grew so targe thnt tho marking bad to be detailed to tho crews, tho "sculp" on ouch, log was put on with an axe. for oven In those days not ovory man could nip out tho chunk with his fingers. Tho Grlndstono was Inventod by Pnul tho winter he logged oft North Dakota. Hoforo that Paul's axemen had to sharpen their axes by rolling rocks down hill nnd running along sltlo of thiSm.

" It Ik Dlelt," as the Lumberjacks called Dakota, hills and rocks were so hard to find that Paul rigged up the revolving rock. This was much appreciated by the Seven Axemen as It enabled them to grind an uxo in a week, but the grindstone was not much of a bit with the I. lltlo Chore Hoy whoso Job It was to turn It. The first stone wits so big that working at full speed, every . time ll turned around onco it was pay-day. The Little Chore ISoy led a strenu ous life, lio was only a kid and like all yoiiirgsters putting In the.lr first winter In I lie woods, lie was put over the Jumps by tho oldiimers. His regular work was heavy enough, spllltlng nil the wood for the camp, carrying the water nnd packing lunch to the men, but his hazers sent him on all kinds of wild goose errands to all purls of the works, looking for a "iefl-banded peavy" or a "bundle of croKs-buuls." Ho had to take a lot of good nnlured roughneck wit about his size for ho only weighed Klio pounds and a couple of surclnglcB made a bell for him. What bo lacked In size ho made up 111 grit and tho men secretly respocted bis .gameness. They said ho might uitike a pretly good man If ho ever got any growth, and considered II n necessary educa tion to 'give . Ill 111 a lot of extra chorea. ' It was n long time before they solved the problem of turning log ging sleds around III tho road. When a sled returned from the landing and put on a load they hnd to wait until Paul camo along to pick up tho tour horses and, tho lond and head them the other way. Judson M. Goss says hu worked for Paul tho winter ho In vented tho round turn. All of Paul's Inventions were suc cessful cicopt when ho decided to run three ten-hour shifts n day and Installed tho Aurora Iloreulls. , After n number of trials the plan was abandoned becnu'so tho lights wore not doponditblo. -Cuts nnd Text courtesy of Hod Itlvor Lumber Company.

Sash and Door Man Visits in v Klamath Falls Declares Market May Improve -' in Next Six Months The Mich and door factories of the Mississippi - valley are using western pine -almost entirely for cut up purposes, according to A. It. Tiplon, secretary of the Roach and Musser Snsh and Door company, of Muscadine, Iowa. Some northern white pine shop Is used, but It Is more expensive, and used chiefly for pattern stock. : For saph nd door purposes, California, or Pon dosn pine, is equally good, and Is almost exclusively used. Tipton believes that during tho last six months of this year the lumber market will show a slight pick up. ' -' ' The Roach and Musser Sash and Door compnny is a very largo consumer of shop , lumber, using twenty-flvo million feet for cutting up purposes each year. Tipton's trip here was In the nature of a genoral survey of condi tions. It is understood that ho placed no orders. , . j "SCIENTIFIC Ql'ARRKL . .

" ' Duo to a difference In opln- ion concerning a very technic- ul point Jit the Judging of fine wines between him. and Harry Monroo, Nellson Is taking a va- whlca time he will apply him- self ' assiduously t'j a scientl- tie study of the theory and practice of wine judging, to sottle tho fine point In ques- tion.j .During this period of Intense application, Nellson ex- pects to call in several 're- nownod scientists K assist him. The entire Illustrious roster lns jiot been decided na yet by Nellson, but it will undouM- cdly Include Prof. Dusty Han- lien, Doctor of Philosophy In Oriental beverages. Kreolnnd Staley, M.

As relaxation from this In- tonae application, Nellson ex- pects to make mnny voyages c-ii Ya Good Shlppe Ellipse to Harrlman lodge, Another of Paul Crew Is Now After the lamentable explosion of, the Sourdough barrel which cost Paul Ilunyan's star cook, Bour doueH Sam, an arm and leg, Paul was at a loss to find a cook ca pable of . feeding his enormous crews In a manner worthy of him. It would, bo months before the crippled Ham would be able to handle the work, so for a week or more Paul did the cooking him self while he looked .about for help. Paul could boil meat, fro vldlng the well did not go dry be fore It was done, and could put a fair scald on spuds. Dot when It came lo pastry poor old Paul had' a lough ' time of It, although bis pies were the talk of tho camp. For pies, Paul always used to bake a few thousand extra large hotcakes In the morlng after the whole crew had finished, spread molasses be tween two of them and sew them together with bailing wire. Paul began to bo worried, how ever, when the men got so they wouldn't como In to eat for two or three days, and after several score .of his men died with baling Wire sticking through their skins like porcupine quills he sent up to Joe Mufraw's and Johnny Hamestrap's camp for a cook whose famo was spreading throughout tho land. This cook was Harry Miller, who learned his stuff Immediately after the Winter of the Bine Snow, and whose fame, was Just beginning to spread through, tho noble logging country bounded on the north by j Powder river, on the south by the 1 Leaping Tuna fork of the Big Onion, and which extended from the East Polo to the West. Brimstone Bill drovo Babe over to bring lIarry,.to camp. Joe Muf raw and Hamestrap greeted the old skinner warmly, and Introduced him to Miller. Brimstone unyoked Babe from the sleigh and drove him to the . headwaters of the "Mississippi lo drink . while Harry packed his duffle. Brimstone was in a hurry on the return trip and had all he could do to cling to the hand holds which were fixed to Babe's left horn for such emergencies. ; Once, Indeed, be lost hold with one hand, and hung down dangling nearly to the ear of the Blue Ox for a hundred miles. But the old skinner regained Glenn Parker Suspected of Hiding Coupe Dusty Hannen Declares He Saw Machine Yesterday A new angle to the alleged theft of Glenn Ora Parker's Ford coupo last Sunday was brought to light yesterday when several prominent citizens of Pelican City declared that they were - prepared to make affidavit that the car had been rolled into Upper Klamath lako by Parker himself In ordef to collect tho theft Insurance.' . , Parker, although he vigorously denied that ho had any theft In surance on tho car, ' was . visibly nonplussed when he lenrned that ho was suspected of having done nwny with tho machine himself, Dusty Hannen declares that this report is all humbug, howover, and swears thnt ho saw a boy wearing tho coupo for a watch' charm on tho streets of KlainlUh Falls. The youngster bocnuto suspicions of Hennen's sleuthing and ran avuv at such speed thnt Hannen was un nblo to overtake him. Mother Of A. E. Gravensteih Dies At Sidney, Iowa Word was received here last week of the denth of .Alts. 10. Grnven steln at Kidney, Iowa; Mrs. Graven stein Is the mother of A. B. Grav ensteiu of the Robinson Tractor company and tho sisto:- of Ei A, Blocklnger. manager of tho Chllo quln Lumber company. Mrs, Orav ensteiu visited hero in 1001 and 1007. I.'. :. : ' , Bunyan's Old in Klamath County his seat and held tafct for the re mainder of the trip. . Fifteen minutes before they got to camp Paul could bear Babe's feet slipping and, tearing up aires of pine as he braced himself to stent his momentum. Paul gave a shout that knocked all the men out of their bunks, for It was Into in the evening, and they all came run ning to see the new cook. They were Buffering sorely from the ef fect of the baling wire ptes, and were so sick they doubted If they could ever touch food again. But from the sied came the most savory odors the men had ever smelled. Ilnrry had cooked an ap petizing meal for the thousands of men on the trip from the Mufraw and Hnmestrap camp. And there was just enough. Not a slab of tender cake, not a slice of luscious pie went to waste. But not a man could eat more when it was fin ished. This was, to Paul Bttnyau. the final proof of Miller's genius, for this was the headquarters camp between tho Leaping Tuna and the Inch Deep fork of Powder river and even Johnny Inkslinger, the head timekeeper, . never knew within a thousand or two how many men were employed. Harry cooked for the men until Sourdough Sam recovered: then Paul had to let him go. For with the great quantities of food which Paul supplied him Harry turned out such' meals that the men bad. no time to sleep, let alone, work: They would tumble hastily 01 I fii breakfast before daylight, rnd It would require the entire force of flunkies' and second cooks to chase them out of the dining; rijro in time to Set the table tor .'('.'.hi.t'r. Often some of them woaM .hr past moving, and frequently - some un fortunate gourmand, would be. un able to get out of the wa; and would bo run over by the narrow gauge locomotive when it made the rounds of the table, spotting flats loaded with clean dishes, which would be distrlbued on tho tables by Mexicans while a clam bucket crane cleaned them off ahead. Paul lost so many men that way that he was really glad to get Sourdough back, although the men grumbled and threatened to quit for fifteen years after Harry left.

Foundation Is Completed for Sprague Plant Tho foundation for the new box factory and romnnufactiirlng plant of tho Sprague River Lumber com pany Is now complete, and work on tho framework of tho building will bo rushed ns rapidly as possible ' The yard of the company Is full of lumber, and the mill will hot operate until the pinning mill Is complete ami running, which will probnbly bo , In operation about July 1, '" PE LIGA1 ILL ILL INSTALL New Device to be Put on Both Rigs Saturday Night and Sunday The Pelican Bay Lumber com pany is Installing Summer oloctrlc dogs on both the big and pony rigs Saturday night. Thesi are the first electric dogs installed In this sec tion. of the country, and, the other lumber companies in the' county are deeply interested in the performance of, the now dogging device. The electric' dogs und the .front and back carnage knees aro operat ed by throo electric motors. One motor operates tho dogs,, ono handles the offset, and the othor the .backward and forward motion of tho carriage knee?. The device consists of two dogs on each front and back carriage knee, Avhlch grip at me bottom, and top of the log or cant, instead of , sinking into the side, as is the Case ' with air dogs. - Compared with the mass of pipes and hose necessary for air dogs, the electric device Is mar velously simple. ''.,- , -t -. The advantages claimed for tho electric dogs over other types ore speed, "simplicity of design, easo of maintainance, and less scarring Of lumber. The scarring of lumber by air dogs Is a considerable item, par ticularly In shop lumber, for a dog mark spoils a shop, cut. ;i Electric' dogs are being installed In tbe Long-Bell plant t Longvlow, and one carriage in the plant of the Red River Lumber company a Wost wood is electrjcully equipped. It is reported that the Red River com pany is, also trying out a now air dogging device, patented by one of their own superintendents. , . With the offset on the new dogs, ' it will be possible to use the Rhodes system of sawing, whereby the log Is sawed parallel to the bark, Instead of to tho heart.;, A great saving of shop lumber Is effected, by this method, All of the lumber w hich Is lost duo 19 tho taper of the log is the heart, which Is Invariably box or common. . The valuable clears and uppers, practically ,all of which come Irom the sap, aro saved, and cut in long lengths-, In , "the ordinary, method of sawing, what lumber Is. salvaged from the sap is short be- cause of the taper, of tho log. This method of sawing will probably bo t used as soon as the setters become accustomed to tho operation, of the hew dogs, according to Superintend- ent E. II Pike. .
