  • «»- THE BARK -«» Mirror Aids Sawyer at Barrett employees are proud of a mirror! Furthermore, they've hung it in the mill, just back of the band saw carriage, where it is proving of value to F. A. Nunemaker, the sawyer, in help ing him cut the logs to better advantage, as he can not only see the butt end of the log, which goes up the jackslip first, but also the other end, the latter by gazing in the mirror. Perhaps the mirror is a big reason why Barrett's record has been a good one in the past few months, both in cut and value. The cut for February and March was more than two million feet, or an average per work day of 40,314 feet, soveral thousand feet over the daily estimate. The costs and supply costs were both below the estimates and shipments nearly as great as the number of feet cut. Cribbing used on the tram road near Pond camp and Barrett. Nantahala Sprinkler System An automatic two-valve sprinkler system now ready for emergency at Nantahala, was installed in record time. Orders were received the first of the year that this system was to be ready March first. The parts were assembled at the plant and actual work begun January 15. The job was completed March third, despite the bad weather of the winter season. *<r Colleton -»' Miss Irene Godwin and her mother, Mrs. J. C. Godwin spent several weeks here with Mrs. E. H.

''«r Nantahala <•»« We wonder why Barrett didn't give us a few notes last month. Come on, Barrett. We like to hear from you. On the night of March 29, a very hard storm passed over a portion of the Nantahala district, washing out seven large trestles on the Choga Creek division of our railroad, and delaying the movement of our trains as well as those of the Andrews company for a period of eleven days. The company's locomotive Number 25, Charles Wilson, engineer, made its first run since the washout on April tenth. A splendid working time record was made in rebuilding these trestles. The mill made a fine cut and cost for March and present indications are that we had a still bett:r for April, although the fishing season opened April 15 and rod and line are now on display.
