pity on a woman in distress. But there
are two parties that the writer has never
seen pitch a cent iuto a hat for any case of
local human misery. One is the depart
meut store catalogue and tbe other is the
empty lot. Both stand ready to milk the
energy and lndustery of tbe town, but
neither helps make It, or help it in tbe

at Kellettville, Sept. 19th Found
By Three Hoys Oilier ew.
W. Leon Watson met with a yery hap
py surprise Sunday by having bis lost
papers tbat were taken at the time the
railroad station was broken Into and tbe
H. fc T. railroad's and Mr. Watson's safes
were burglarized last September, re
turned to bim. On Sunday two of Fred
Graham's boys and Joe Forbes, all boys
about 13 years old, were playfully track
ing rabbits on the A. L. Weller farm,
when one of the little bunnies ran into a
small sewer to elude his pursuers. When
the boys came up and bsw the little lellow
was "in a bole," tbey secured a pole and
and on making exploration of the cavity
the weapon struck some metallic sub
stance and upon fishing out the object
they were surprised to 11 od it was the
safety box of safe. The iron band encir
cling the top had been opened by some
heavy sledging and tbe contents were
visible. It was only tbe work of a min
ute to learn that the pipers and valuable
notes were the private property of Mr.
Watson. The boys were not long in de
livering tbe valuable package lo Its own
er, who upon looking over the notes was
surprise.! to learn that there seemed to
be more papers in tbe package than he
thought he really owned. Tbe notes
wereo. k. and bad been working over
time drawing interest tbat was almost
prohibitive by our state laws. It Is now
believed tbat the burglars when tbey left
town went down the railroad tracks as
far as Harry Watson's automobile garage,
where tho fumes being too much lor
them tbey crossed the creek on the foot
bridge and when a safe distance away
tbey examined tbe contents of tbeir find
and placed what tbey did not want where
It was discovered as above narrated.

skidder of this kind in Forest county at
work. To operate a skidder like this one
requires seven men and the usual work
accomplished in 10 hours is 40 thousand
feet. First before tbe machine is put in
place to skid, a loader bas made each side
of the track for a distance of 100 feet clear
of all logs, so a place Is ready to haul up
tbe trees Just as tbey were cut down,
minus tbe bark, which was removed in
the proper season. A derrick is an
chored 1500 feet from the skidder and any
timber in this distance is hauled up to the
track, where it can be cut into tbe proper
lengths and loaded by one of tbe Ameri
can log loaders, of wblch this company
bas three. When tbe land is stripped of
timber along tbe line, a new location is
secured and so on until tbe forests are
denuded of tbeir timber. The working
of this machine is being watched with
much Interest by the company and em
ployes alike.
