Manager of the same company, was accogted by an inquisitive farmer who happened to be driving past and. to satisfy his curi- ousity. the Engineer explained something about the process of manufacturing artificial ice. He stayed a long time, listened intently to all that was explained to him and apparently had gained a fair knowledge of the principles of ice-making but, as he was leaving, he turned to the engineer and said: "son, they may be able to make it go in the winter allright. but I'll bedurned if they'll ever make it go El ,;!■>■ ■ matter a little irou, we humbly ut > ith: Now if you bays down in the mill, with Champion Spirit bust- in.' have what you think are ;as (up in your attic rust- in.'! d tn't be ashamed to bring them out—don't let them die within you—don't idly sit and nurse your thoughts while other fellers skin you; get busy now an' rake 'em up an' put 'em into writin' an' make the good "Suggestion Judge" know that you're in the fightin,' some fellers here, as sure as mud, will soon be win- nin' prizes an' maybe you're a man who can with bright ideas surprise us—remember that you have a chance, no matter what your station — a mendin' belts, a peddlin' oils, Repairs & Alteration-altho you work in Sulphite. )om, Yard ,• be the unmr rd to. -SAFETY FIRST Wisdom in the Woods n ummcr. Despite this the plant icces.sfully operated tany others which wen nder the handicap of phesy, "I don't believe work." Many well thought OU hauled to the mills by steam pow or. In case of timber being manufactured into pulp wood it was dlj done at the slide landing and hauled on to the rail road in wood form to the pulp mills. This brings us to the' logging tram roads or rail roads, the most extensively used method of handling timber from the woods to the points of manufacturing or markets. The first tram roads constructed and used in logging operations were crude affairs compared to the logging rail roads constructed and used by the large timber companies of the present day. Among the first tram roads used were the om-'S whose rails were long slender poles and the wheels used in the locomotive and car construction were of concave bearing with long flanges which fit over the pole rails. These roads were called Pole Roads. Light locomotives whose weights were from eight to twelve tons were used and in smaller operations the log cars were hauled by team. Another form of tram road was constructed by the use of sawn plank 2 in. x 4 in. or 2 in. x 5 in. spiked to the crossties for rail, these plank were doubled when steam power was used and sometimes a top thickness of 1 in. hard maple nailed on. This form of construction was the best used and made a good road. Tram roads of several miles in length were constructed as above described and extensively used fifteen or twenty years ago. The cms! of building such roads was comparatively small and it made a satisfactory method of hauling lnL's and timber.

Yes! and even up to a million feet per day, as well as the modern pulp I mill using several hundred thous- I and feet of timber per day. It I begins to look, when we go over this subject we have briefly outlined, as if we have reached the maximum of timber production. I Until the present time we have taken but little thought of the I future in this particular line, i Where is our timber coming from fifty (50) or sixty (60) years in the future? At the present rate of consumption there will be but little left for use that is now standing and unless we take j steps and means of preservation and reforestation very soon the industry will find itself in a ser- I ious predicament. It is in our power here at the present time to start means of I conserving our timber supply. We can help very materially in this matter. Among the important things you can do right in your community is to help prevent forest fires. Talk it over with your neighbors. Bear on the subject and keep alive. Let us educate every community in a general way toward preventing loss of this kind. - SAFETY FIRB3P— The Careful Man I loi .vheels Of the lo- cn (10) to . I •■ I'lilN 1 l.U i;-; MAUL r'Ki'M CHAHPIO*
