Believed Made by
Washington Outfit
Recently one m' the best known log

nounced Unit ii planned a change
in working hours during the dry
season in the hope that the change
would result in fewer fires. The plan
was to start work about four o'clock
in the morning ami stop about one
o'clock in the afternoon. Such hours
would enable I lie men to work dur
ing the cool of the day and would
mean Hint the campa would he idle

fires ordinarily start and gel beyond

Smokers Found at
Fault in Causing
Two Forest Fires
Smouldering cigarettes and burn
ing pipe heels have both again been
legally proved guilty of causing for
est fires, reports tho U. S. Forest
Service.
Recently two fires were started
on the Chelan National forest in
j Washington. One was along the
I rtd between Ilrewster and Carlton.
It was caused by throwing lighted
cigarettes from a car. The guilty
party was apprehended with suf
ficient evidence for conviction in
Justice Oelssler's court at Brewster.
In addition to the fire and court
costs imposed by state law. the party
was assessed $11.00. the cost of ex
tinguishing the fire.
The other fire was caused by a
sheephcrder on Biitermilk Croek,
who wont into a willow thicket to
cut a pole. While running around
in the thicket he knocked his pipe
from his mouth, spilling the burn
ing tobacco. The fireman on Look
out Mountain reported a fire be
tween the forks of Butermllk. When
the Forest Service trail crew ar
rived .one and one-fourth hours lat
er, they found and S-arre fire. The
sheeplierdev admitted having heen
the cause of it. The judge did the
rest.

CHANGE
New Device For Handling
Flat-Piled Lumber Said To
Promise Big Kiln Savings
Operation of a device for unloading flat-piled kiln
dried lumber from the carriages mechalically, an inven
tion of Matt Egan, superintendent of the Algoma Lumber
company, is being awaited with interest by mill oper
ators of this district.
Success of the experiment will mean a great saving in
the handling of kiln-dried lumber, operators 'state.

Dry Rot Attacking Trees

Near Here
VALUE DEPRECIATES
; Delay of Few Years Would
Reduce Value of Many
Timber Tract
Illustrative of the fact
'that logging has been too
'long delayed in some parts
of Klamath county is the
'fact that in a recent ship-
ment of logs from the Peli
i can Bay camp, fully one out
i of 10 was found to be a vic-
; tim of dry rot. In many in-
stances the rot extends from
; the butt upwards for as
I much as 20 feet. This re
' suits in a d'stinct loss as the
icut has to be tapered to
; eliminate this worthless
; strip. The condition is due
i to the fact that the timber
lis over-ripe, a striking re
: buttal of the claims of those
I who assert that the timber
; should be left untouched for
I future generations. In some
instances,
delay Of a few
' years more WOUld mean a

Electric Dogs
! Installation Is Con
sidered at Shaw
Bertram
j Installation of electric doits next
season at the Shaw-Bertram mill
! Is a possibility, officials of that
concern admitted tills week.
Due to the fact that there yet
remains but a small portion of
Tunning time thla year, the change
I if made, will not be considered un
1 til after the fall shutdown, it was
I said.
Electric dogs hnvo been installed
at the Pelican Bay lumber com
pany and are said to be giving
gootl service, resulting in saving
a greater number of clears than
was the cause with the old-style
dog. which marred the face of the
hoard.
The electric dog grips at the upper
and lower edges of the hoard alone.

Work on a new drying shed, to

dock and other fenturcs.

OPERATOR
FIND
MUCH TIMBER IS
NOW PAST PR I
I h- tlovicp. known as an unfitnnk
er, is tyiteadod for use in unloading
lamber which Is foadad flat for kiln
drying. There Is at present n dcvlc
on the market knows as the Kvans
slacker and unstacker, which pro
vides for the handling of lumber
wbjch is laid on its side for drying.
The Evans device Ib quite expen
sive, however. The great majority
of medium sized mills favor the flat
method of piling and that at any rate
prevents the use of the Evans pat
ent. Three men are ordinarily required
for unloading lumber from kiln cars,
two to handle the lumber itself and
one to handle the stickers. Success
of the device invented by Egan will
do awEv with two men. Only the
stickernta'n will be required and be
can also attend lo the operation of
the unloadcr.
The machine, now under construc
tion, consists of an electric hoist
and a revolving overhead chain, with
lugs. The action of the two Is such
that as each tier Is stripped trim
the top of the load the hoist auto
matically raises the load to the cor
rect level for the next lug to take
hold.
In addition 'to the saving that it
will make, one big feature of the
device is ita small expense. With the
exception of the motor and a few
gears, all purts needed can be sup
plied by the ordinary mill black
smith shop, it is declared.

Vigorous denial that the Topsy
Lumber company plant was having
trouble with either whooping cough
or typhoid, as rumored, was niado
I Sunday by officials of the company.
Accordin to these, there has not
been one single case of whooping
cough and only one case in which a
man was suspected of having ty
phoid. The man in question was
taken to a Klamath Falls hospital
and hs only indication of typhoid is
declared to have been a very high
fever.
Shasta View Mill
Will Not Install
New Electric Dogs
Decision not to install electric
dogs this season on Its carriage
has heen made by tho Shasta View
mill. The present carriage is in
adequately braced to carry the ex
tra weight and It was decided not
to shut down at this time for the
Installation, a proceeding which
would have been necossary because
a new carriage would have to have
been made.
Censorship Ban
Causes Grief to j
Pelican Bathers
Even in the woods, where men
are men and women are darned
scarce, the hand of censorsnlp
reaches to 'cast a withering blight
on whatever people do to pass the
time away. For be It known that
the boys at the Pelican Hay camps
conceived tho Idea of n bathing
bench. They didn't have any beach
to begin with, nor even now, but
they did make a swimming hole by
damming up the waters of Bear
Creek. All was well. Comes then
ono "Doc'' Graham, advising all and
sundry that all those, who bullied
must at least wear a shirt. No one
knows how ho got. the Job of censor
and therefore no one knows how 1
he 1b to be demoted, or deflated.
Hence the boys am wearing shlrtx
and it cramps their style.
