"THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY
——Only two weeks more remain to the
weary candidate. ‘
——Col. Spangler spoke to a large gath-
ering, at Mahaffey, on Saturday evening.
——Governor Hastings is stumping Illi-
nois and Indiana for McKinley. He open-
ed his tour at Chicago, and has spoken
every night since.
——The tabernacle will hardly be taken
to Philipsburg this fall. It is getting so
cool that itis impossible to keep the struct-
ure comfortable
——Faubles’ great $5.00 values in clothes
are exciting the attention of men who are
wanting a good ready-to-wear suit at a
price that is unusually low.
——The Evangelicals will hold a chicken
and wafile supper, on Friday and Saturday
evenings, of this week, in the basement of
the church, on Willowbank street. They
will also have the best of ice cream and oys-
ters. Go and help a good cause.
——A man by the name of Barthus, at
Mt. Eagle, has a pumpkin vine that grew
two enormous pumpkins this year. One
of them is 33 inches long, 50 inches in cir-
cumference, and weighs 87 lbs. The other
weighs 90 Ibs.
——The up town merchant who can af-
ford to employ a carrier boy who blows in
seventy five cents on a single ‘‘round,’’
down town, certainly can have no room
for the assertion that certain branches of
trade are not paying.
——A company has been formed at Phil-
ipshurg to mine the coal on the lands of
the Steiner estate. A. W. Marks is presi-
dent, Capt. C. W. Fryberger is secretary
and treasurer, and W. G. Dunsmore is to
be superintendent of the operations.
——=Some Bellefonte people got scared,
on Saturday night, when the weather bu-
reau signals read : “Look out for a terrific
hurricane, approaching from the south At-
lantic coast.” Everyone who heard the
reports ran home to close their windows,
ete., but the storm, like the letter in the
song, never came.
——In last week’s WATCHMAN it was
announced that the tramps who had robbed
the Snow Shoe post-office had Leen found
guilty before the U. S. court in Williams-
port, but it was not known then that
Charles Gray, the only one of the four who
wore & McKinley button, got the longest
sentence. The judge sent him up for two
years and two months.
——Ralph Bingham, who is no longer
the ‘‘Boy Orator,”’ but one of the best im-
personators and elocutionists on the Ameri-
can platform and a violinist of real genius,
will give an enterfainment in the Metho-
dist church at this place on Monday, Oc-
tober the 26th. The press notices of him
are most flattering and his audiences are al-
ways delighted.
——Centre county Pomona grange, No.
13, will meet in the hall of Progress grange,
Centre Hall, at 10 o'clock a. m. on Tues-
day, November 24th. This is the last
meeting for 1896, and will embrace a large
variety of business pertaining to the order
in which all patrons are interested. All
4th degree members are entitled to be pres-
ent and take part in the discussions.
Invitations are out for the marriage
of James Reuben Rose, of Allegheny, and
Miss Lulu Reid, of Connellsville. The
wedding is to take place on Wednesday,
the 21st, at Connellsville. Mr. Rose, who
after his course at State College, was here
for some time helping perfect his father’s
fuel gas machine, has many friends here
who wish him well and congratulate Miss
Reid.
——A company for the manufacture of
fire brick has been organized at Karthause,
Clearfield county. The officers are presi-
dent, E. I. Gilliand ; vice president, F.
L. Coudreit ; secretary, J. A. Heckendorn ;
treasurer, J. S. Brier and superintendent,
J. A. Black. Asall are reputable busi-
ness men in that locality it is likely that
they will make a success of the proposed
enterprise. It has a capital of $10,000.
——A man about 32 years of age, rather
~ good looking, a dark moustache, five feet
ten inches high and wearing a gray suit,
imposed on the family of D. W. McClos-
key, about 5 miles west of Romola, a few
days ago. He professed to be out of a job
and offered to work for them for his board
until he could find work. ,They gave him
an asylum for three days, then he slipped
away in the night and a watch, two shirts,
two pounds of bologna and a lantern went
with him.
——One week from to-day will be Arbor
day. Will not our citizens and the Village
Improvement Society waken up to their
duty in this matter of tree planting. Our
town is badly in need of them for many
have died for want of eare and attention
and more have heen ruthlessly cut or
dug from the hillsides, leaving them
bare, brown and barren. Consider the
influence of trees upon springs and
water courses, their influence upon
climate and moisture, if you don’t
care for them as a thing of be: ity,
and then realize how few you are planting
and how many you are using. The work
should not be left to the school children or
an occasional tree lover, but should be un-
dertaken and pushed by every property
owner in the town and county. If you
don’t love a tree for its beauty and shade,
plant one forthe coming generation or the
adornment of your town.
AN ENCOURAGING - DEMONSTRATION
FOR SILVER.— Wednesday night was any-
thing but a satisfactory one for the silver-
ites of Bellefonte, but notwithstanding the
rain an old fashioned crowd came to the
county seat to help the rally for Bryan and
free silver.
It had been billed that Hon. Geo. A.
Jenks, of Brookville, one of the oldest and
best known Democrats in the State, and
Col..J. L. Spangler would address the meet-
in the court house and that building was
crowded when ex-county chairman J. C.
Meyer called the gathering to order.
Special trains were run over the Belle-
fonte Central and Central rail-road of
Penna., and the way Ferguson, College,
Patton, Benner, Walker and Marion town-
ships turned out told all too plainly that
the silver sentiment in those districts is’ not
a mere fad, but a reality that will proveits
substantiability on November 3rd. There
were a hundred enthusiasts from Ferguson.
They boarded the special at Pine Grove
crossing and Bloomsdorf, and were joined
at the College by ninety more, with the
excellent band that has not deteriorated
one jot since it carried off second prize at
the tournament of the bands of Centre and
Clinton counties. It was a jolly crowd on
that train and they ihade things lively.
Upon arrival here the band headed them
and they marched to the court house amid
the blaze of fire works and lusty cheers for
Bryan.
The delegation from Marion and Walker
numbered one hundred. They did not
have a band, but were none the less sincere
in their determination to let the world
know where they stand in the great strug-
gle for a money which will rest as easy in
their hands asin those of the bankers and
stock gamblers. At the court house anoth-
er demonstration was being prepared. The
junior Bryan and Sewall free silver club,
in full regalia, with bicycle corps, and four
boys carrying a litter on which master Earl
Achenbach was perched in significance of
“‘the dollar of our daddies,”’ was forming.
The Undine band headed them when they
swung into line and were followed by the
College band. The parade covered three
squares and was a decidedly pretty specta-
cle. They were cheered all along the line
and enthusiasm reached the pitch that
made political spirits run nearly as high as
they did in the great marching campaign
in 1880. The parade was dispersed at the
court house and a large portion of the crowd
was unable to get in to hear the speeches.
After calling the meeting to order Mr.
Meyer proposed its organization by the elec-
tion of a president. C. M. Bower Esq. was
the unaminous choice. = When he took the
platform he thanked the audience for the
honor conferred on him and then the fol-
lowing vice presidents were elected: S.
Peck, H. S. Shaffer, J. C. Sauers, Chas.
E. ‘Decker; W. H. Fry, Joseph Dunkle,
Benjamin Gentzel, G. H. Leyman, Haupt
Leathers, Ed. Roop, I. J. Driess, Amos
Garbrick, H. J. Rothrock, Charles
Whitmer.
Col. J. L. Spangler was called for and his
appearance was greeted with prolonged
cheers. The Colonel made one of his char-
acteristic speeches, chuck full of vim and
leaving no bridges behind him in his advo-
cacy of the cause of silver. During the
course of his remarks he took occasion to
explain why certain untruthful charges
are being circulated about him in his rela-
tions to the coal region, a full account and
denial of which we publish on the fourth
page of this issue.
The Hon. George A. Jenks followed Mr.
Spangler. It had been years since this no-
ted Democrat talked to a Centre county
audience, but with the advance of age he
has lost none of the force that has charac-
terized him in all of his brilliant career.
In a most pleasing and convincing argu-
mentation he presented the truths of the
silver cau%e and, coming from such an one,
they carried couviction to every listener.
The meeting was a great success, when
the condition of the weather and the fact
that a great meeting had been held in Phil-
ipsburg the night before and the ox roast
at Millheim yesterday were considered.
If it indicates anything, it points to a great
trinmph for silver in Centre county.

A SKIN GAME T0 CATCH DAIRYMEN.—
It seems that every class of business men
must be made the object of swindlers at
one time or another. One of the latest
schemes is calculated to catch creamery and
dairymen.
Secretary Edge, of the state department of
agriculture, calls attention to the fraud and
and it is hoped will save many from being
fleeced. He reports that an atticle is being
offered for sale in various parts of the State,
guaranteeing to increase the amount of but-
ter which may be made from a given
amount of milk or cream. In one case the
mixture is guaranteed to make two pounds
of butter from one pound and one quart of
sweet milk ; in another it is guaranteed to
make an equal amount of butter from one
quart of milk and enough cream to make
one pound of butter.
In every case thus far in which these
compounds have been examined by the de-
partment it has been found that alum and
acetic acid enter largely into them to pro-
duce the result claimed for the mixture.
Either of these ingredients, the secretary
states, has the power of coagulating or
thickening the cheesy matter of the milk
and cream in mixing it with the butter
produced from the fat ; consequently the
mixture produced is neither butter nor
cheese, but it is simply a mixture of the
two, and not marketable as butter. The
department is considering the propriety of
proceeding against those who sell these
mixtures.

Nor A HiGH VALUE OF LiFE.—There
was a murder at Snow Shoe, on Sunday.
One Hungarian killed another and to show
the estimate the authorities out there
placed on the dead ‘‘dago’ they tele-
phoned in here to know if they would get
paid if they went to catch the murderer.
In justice to the officers of the law in the
vicinity where the murder was committed
we feel bound to state that constables have
been meeting with what they claim is very
skinny treatment in all parts of the State,
and arc loath to do anything unless they
are sure the law will sustain their claim for
payment.
In a case like this, however, it seems
very strange that when a human life had
been taken no effort was made to appre-
hend the guilty one until a question of pay
had been settled.

THE THIRD VicTorY.—The Pennsylva-
nia State College foot ball eleven won their
third consecutive victory, on Beaver field,
last Saturday afternoon, when Dickinson
went down by the score of 8 to 0.
The visitors proved more than a surprise
to the home team by playing all around them
in the first half and so successful were
their rushes through State’s line that
the ball was once within two feet of
her goal line. There State took a decided
brace and saved herself, but Hayes de-
serves nearly all the credit for having
prevented the score. He is a new
man who has been put at full back since
Joe Thompson went out of the game with
a broken ankle, last Wednesday. He will
likely be a fixture. His punting was su-
perb and he got into the plays with a dar-
ing and a purpose that ought to prove a
“line’’ to some of the others on the am.
In the second half the lecture that Dr.
Newton, State’s trainer, had read his men,
proved of some use and two touchdowns
resulted before time had been called.
Neither one resulted in a goal.
The team will practice until the 24th
when they go to Princeton. - The following
Saturday Bucknell will be played at Wil-
liamsport.

THE PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD IN SESSION.
—The annual session of the Synod of the
Presbyterian church of Pennsylvania and
West Virginia convened in the Presbyterian
church, in this place, yesterday morning at
11 o'clock. There were about two-thirds
of the 210 delegated members present at
the opening session, but later trains during
the day brought many more, so that by
evening there was almost a full representa-
tion of the body. :
Synod began in prayer, led by Dr. S. A.
Martin, President of Wilson college, Cham-
bersburg. No. 1 hymn was then sung and
the scripture lesson was read from the Acts
of the Apostles. Following this Rev. Dr.
John E. Stockton, of Erie, past Moderator
of the body, delivered his sermon. It was
based on the text found in Acts 8: 13,
“Then Philip opened his mofith and
preached unto them, Jesus.”” It is said by
many of the visiting ministers to have heen
one of the deepest sermons, from a theolo-
gian’s standpoint, that has ever been deliv-
ered before that body. At the conclusion
of the sermon Synod adjourned until 2
o'clock. Immediately upon convening af-
ter dinner the election of a moderator was
declared in order. Rev. Dr. William Lau-
rie, of Bellefonte, had been prominent in
the talk of a suitable presiding officer and
while he woald have appreciated such an
honor he felt that his position as pastor of
the entertaining church made it impossi-
ble for him to go into the contest with pro-
priety. In a neat word of thanks for any
friendship manifested in the suggestion he
declined to permit the use of his name. |
Then Dr. Loyal Y. Graham, of Philadel-
phia, was unanimously chosen. Two sec-
retaries were selected and the committee on
synodical sustentation took up the rest of
the afternoon in the reading and discussion
of its report.
This work of the Synod is among its
largest labors. During 1895 there was ex-
pended in this work about $30,000, aiding
over one hundred ministers and a like num-
ber of churches. The amount of money
expended was even less than the demand,
and the committee for 1896 undertook to
increase the contributions one half. The
report showed that it had only partially
succeeded.
There was a general meeting in the
church last evening in support of this
branch of the work, when a very lengthy
discussion was entered into by the dele-
gates.
WAS IT MURDER OR SUiCIDE ?—Joseph
Garbor was shot and killed about a mile
above Clarence, on the Beech Creek rail-
road, near Snow Shoe, at 4 o’clock last
Sunday evening. Andrew Flaxzo, a fel-
low Slav has disappeared. A third Slav,
the only witness of the shooting, is unable
to tell whether it was murder or ‘accident.
The dead man has been buried, the rains
have washed his life blood from the bushes
about the spot where he fell and district
attorney Singer has nothing more than the
story of a foreigner on which to unravel a
mystery.
Last Sunday afternoon, after a party of
eight Sclavonian miners at Sugar Camp,
near Snow Shoe, had gotten outside of as
many gallons of beer, Andrew Flaxzo, who
has been at the camp only a month, called
his friend, Joseph Garbor, who has lived in
the region for years and bore a good repu-
tation, aside and talked with him. Flaxzo
then secured a shot gun and Garbor put
his ammunition in his pocket. They called
a third companion and started for the
woods. All the men were good friends and
boarded at the same shanty. Flaxzo was
about forty rods ahead of the other two,
when he turned and asked for some am-
munition to load the gun. After loading
he started off again and was considerably
in the lead when the new power house of
the Lehigh company was reached. There
Garbor called to him to come back, that
they would go in another direction. He
turned and advanced to within 10 feet of
of Garbor, without saying a word, and
threw the gun to his shoulder. There
was a loud report and Garbor fell dead.
A heavy charge of b b shot had plowed a
hole through his left shoulder and neck.
The jugular vein was torn off and the man
lay on the ground, his life blood spurting
in every direction.
As soon as Flaxzo had realized what he
had done he dropped the gun and, looking
at his companion, said: ‘Jesus, Mary,
what have Idone?’”’ He fled from thescene,
but did not return to his own shanty. He
went to another shanty and changed his
hat and coat, then he took three shirts and
disappeared.
There isa very marked difference of
opinion as to the killing. The two men are
known to have been fast friends ever since
they met. There was not a quarrel. But
then, why did Flaxzo run away ? Possibly
it is because he, being ignorant of our laws,
did not know that if he was innocent it
would have been his best plan to have re-
mained. Then again; it is said that his
victim belonged to a secret order among his
fellows and that possibly Flaxzo feared an
avenger. At all events he ran away and
no trace of him has been found. He is six
foot or more tall, 26 years old, and is rath-
er a fine looking fellow.
The gun that was used has now a second
human victim. About five years ago some
Huns out there were shooting mark, on
Sunday, and after one of them had missed a
hat, that was being used for a mark, one of
his companions turned up his body and
cried : ‘‘Here, hit this.”” The marksman
threw the gun to his shoulder, in a joke,
but the quick jerk he gave it sent it off and
the human target had actually been hit.
Some think that Flaxzo’s shot was the same
kind, that he had no intention of shooting
his companion.
Miss PARRY, THE FAITH HEALER AR-
‘RESTED.—There was a little flurry in this
place, on Saturday, when it became known
that Dr. A. Hibler, acting for the board of
censors of the county medical society had
made information against Rebecca Parry,
the christian scientist.
Miss Parry has been located in this place
for some time and has been carrying on
what she professes to be a system for heal-
ing human ailments by faith. It is
claimed by believers in her work that she
has been successful in several cases in the
town and it is a well known fact that
several people, who had been chronic inva-
lids before her advent, have discarded their
doctors and are now apparently in the best
of health and spirits. :
It was the dismissal of the doctors that
has sét them to wondering what right such
a practitioner has to set up against them,
after they have complied with the costly
requirements of law, in such cases.
Miss Parry was summoned to appear be-
fore justice Keichline, on Saturday morn-
ing, and did so. For some reason the case
was then postponed until afternoon. At
3 o'clock quite a party assembeld in the
justice’s office to hear the proceedings.
They were very tame, however, as the de-
fendant denied that she practiced medicine
and produced witnesses to prove that she
performed cures solely by faith.
was dismissed, though it will be revived if
two similar cases, that are now being tried
in the eastern part of the State, are success-
ful.
Miss Parry’s last patient was Maud Mey-
er, the little daughter of Mr. W. T. Meyer,
of this place. She was suffering with en-
largement of the glands of the neck and
underwent several operations for their re-
moval. As fast as they were taken out,
new and larger growths would appear so
that physicians gave the case up and Miss
Parry took charge of her. The latter 4
claims to have prolonged the little girl’s
life by several months, and is confident
that at two stages in her illness she had the
disease under control, but that some slight
indiscretion on the part of the patient un-
did the good effect.
This thing of faith curing is not a new
experience to Bellefonters. There have
been a number of christian scientists here
at different times in the past and while
there has been considerable talk about their
work we are unable to view them as any
other than harmless.

A FAIR FOR CENTRE AND CLINTON
CoUNTIES.—On Wednesday the following
anonymous communication was received at
this office, bearing a Lock Haven post
mark.
What do the progressive farmers and busi-
ness men of Centre county say to electing
delegates to confer with delegates from Clin-
ton county on organizing a union fair to be
centrally located. Considernig the resources
of these two counties and the excellent ac-
commodations for travel, there is no question
but that this project would be a success.
What do you say ?
What do you think of the idea? Whose
ever suggestion it is, it is a very good one
and liable to find favor with people in this
section.
Here is’ the chance for the committee
that was appointed last year to consider a
reorganization of the fair association. If
possible for Centre and Clinton counties to
unite on such a project it would assume
very extensive proportions.
We ought to have a fair.
think of the union plan ?

A WELL KNOWN OLD RESIDENT GONE.
—There are few people in Bellefonte who
did not know the late Isaac Haupt and his
acquaintances were not limited to the town
in which he has spent the last thirty nine
years, for all through Clearfield county
merchants will hear of his death and re-
member him well, by the cigar and tin-
ware trade he did with them before he gave
up the road.
Isaac C. Haupt was born in Irish
valley, Northumberland county, Oct. 17th,
1831. He was quite young when he mar-
ried Catharine B. Albert, at Lewisburg, and
was only twenty-six when he came to
this place. Success was his at first and he
became owner of considerable property in
Bellefonte. The block in which the Re-
publican office is now located, the valuable
property fronting on High and Thomas
streets, and a mountain farm near Perdue’s
were all the result of his thrift. At various
times he carried on the hardware business,
the manufacture of cigars, and the growth
of fruit and produce. The condition of
business became such that he couldn’t be-
gin to realize on his properties anything
near what he had put into them and old
age and a worked out constitution found
him in such straits that nearly all of his
savings had to be sacrificed.
A year or more ago stomach trouble be-
gan to worry him and add to the depress-
ing effects that his financial losses had on
him. Sluffing of the brain set in. He
was taken out to the home of his son Theo-
dore, near Roopsburg, and, after having
been confined to bed for six weeks, he died
on Tuesday.
He was the father of nine children, sev-
en of whom are living: Mrs Rosella J.
Metcalf, Marlboro, N. H. ; Mrs Armina E.
McClelland, of Bellefonte ; John A., of Ty-
rone ; Theodore B., and Isaac N., Wilbur
W., and George Edward, all of Bellefonte.
Mis. Haupt survives also. Two daughters
are dead.
Deceased was a member of the Metho-
dist church and was zealous in his atten-
dance thereof, he was also a member of the
I. 0. O. F. Funeral services will be held
this afternoon at 2 o’clock, p. m. :
News Purely Personal.
What do you
—Iry. Dreese, the man who look® after the
Pennsy’s interests at Lemont, came down to
town, Wednesday evening, to attend the big
meeting, of course, but looking as solemn as if
he intended palming himself off as a Presbyterian
preacher in attendance at the Synod.
—Mrs. Thomas Shaughensy, wife of Belle-
fonte’s superintendent of highways, with her son
Thomas, are in Philadelphia, on account of the
death of a sister-in-law. While away Tom will
enter a hospital and undergo an operation for the
improvement of his eyes, which have been troub-
ling him for some time.
—Samuel F. Poorman, one of Bogg's town-
ship's substantial farmers, was in town, on Wed-
nesday, making arrangements for the sale of his
farm stock and implements. His sale is cheduled
for Thursday, November 5th, and he intends sell-
ing some fine horses and cattle. Mr. Poorman
owns a team of young sorrels, that are beau-
tifully mated drivers, and they will go under the
hammer, along with the other things.
—Harry L. Hutchison, passenger agent at the
Pennsylvania railroad office in this place, return-
ed from a western trip, on Monday. He left home
five weeks ago to visit friends in Illinois, Kansas
and other western States, but when he got out
there he decided to go farther and finally rounded
up at Portland, Oregon. While at Butte, the great
‘Rocky mountain mining city, he ran into a snow
storm and says it was very cold. Harry reports
that there is nothing but silver talked in the
regions he visited,
—Mr. H. A. Snyder, of Blanchard, was in town,
on Wednesday, closing up his accounts as ad-
ministrator of the Markle estate. It has been a
number of years since the matter was given into
his hands, but conditions of such a nature arose
that it was impossibl& to settle the estate until
Tuesday. He is glad that it is finally done, and
we can attest to its having been done right, for
Mr. Snyder is a man who can be wholly relied
upon in any position of trust. He is suffering,
just now, with a felon on his thumb,

A PHYSICIAN'S DEATH.—Dr. Samuel
Foster Lytle died at his home, in Philips-
burg, on last Friday afternoon ; a very un-
expected and untimely death. He was one
of the foremost physicians .of that town and
though not enjoyimg the best of health
during the last few years he had attended
to his practice, as usual, and even on the
day he died he had visited a patient. Short-
ly afterwards he was attacked witha severe
pain in his head, something like nausea.
Hurrying home a physician was summoned,
but he went into a stupor and died a few
hours later.
Samuel Foster Lytle, son of Griffith and
Susan Lytle, was born in Harris township,
this county, on October 14th, 1851. His
early education was secured in the public
schools and at the Pennsylvania State Col-
lege. After reading medicine with Dr. J.
Y. Dale, of Lemont, he went to the Bellevue
hospital medical college of New York. He
graduated from that institution in 1875.
Soon after he located in Philipsburg, where
he was in active practice up to the time of
his death.
Deceased married Nannie Crissman, of
Philipsburg, on August 28th, 1879. She
survives him. Four brothers and three
sisters are also living. Funeral services
were held on Monday afternoon.

great central valleys 11th, eastern States
16th. The cool wave will cross the west of
Rockies country about the 15th, great cen-
tral valley 17th, eastern States 19th.
The notable feature of this disturbance
will be the cool wave to cross the continent
from the 15th to the 19th. It will be a
cold wave and will cause much snow and
freezing in the northern latitudes, and kill-
ing frosts in the northern parts of the cot-
ton belt. This disturbance will also bring
the heaviest rains of the month to the
southern States and inaugurate the coolest
week of the month.’

Foor BALL AT HECLA PARK.—The en-
closing fence has been completed about the
new athletic field at Hecla park and the
foot ball season will be opened there, to-
morrow, by a spirited game between the
Philipsburg team and the Bellefonte Acad-
emy team. :
Last season these elevens played a very
exciting contest in which the academians
were victorious by the score of 10 to 0.
There is every reason to believe that a
much more interesting game will be play-
ed to-morrow.
The railroad company has made the low
rate of 40 cents for the round trip, includ-
ing admission to the game. Besides the
interest of the opening of the new grounds
the Coleville band will be there to give
concerts during the afternoon.
The foot ball special will leave the sta-
tion, at the foot of Lamb street, at 1:30.
Remember that to-morrow will be the day
and that the round trip fare will be only
40 cents. ra
HEAVY WORK ON A SAW MiLL.—The
Clearfield Raftsman’s Journal tells of the
following heavy work that was recently
done on a saw mill at La Jose.
“The best cut of lumber ever made by
any saw mill of its class in this county was
made on the La Jose mill, of the Clearfield
Lumber Co., Ltd., on Oct. 9th, 1896, when
they cut more than 125,000 feet in one day,
much of it small sizes as evidenced by the
fact that there were 5,000 pieces 2x4 made
in the day’s cut.
It is a remarkable performance in view
of the fact that the logs cut averaged eight
logs to the 1,000 feet.”
