How many of us when wo look a common pino board over 8top to think of how many different hands it passes through from tho timo it, with many others, form ono of tho towering pino trcocH of tho northwest or tho sunny south, until it is finally nailed on omo building to bo warped by tin Nobraska sun or torn frojn its support by an Iowa oyolono. How many of our reader have over seen or worked in a lumbor camp in tho pineries of Michigan, Wiioonsin or Minnesota? To tlios that I hayo extended a hearty greeting and will try to rovivo their memories, of bygono days, and to thoso that havo novcr had tho opportunity. I will endeavor to doscribo tho lifo of a pinery boy of tho cold north west. Tjio lumbering in tho north-west at tho present day is not much as our foro-fathcrs had it thirty years ago; for thoro is as much improvement in tho lumbering nearly as in any other branch of industry in .our country today, Instead of tho old logging sleigh 5 loot betwocn tho runners with 8 foot bolsters, now sleighs arc used 7 feet wido with 10' foot holsters. And instead of chopping tho troes the crosscut saw has taken tho place of tho ax, Thcro is also a vast differ onco in tho samps past and present. Instead of Bait pork and beans, corn bead and muddy colTco without sugar tho hoard in a lumbor catnp of today iB such as few hotels in this country con equal. Of lumbermen thcro tiro threo classes tho cruisers, loggers and tho drivers, and as tho orusiurs come first I will describe their work as 1 saw it myself, Wo will say that u company is buying a tract of pine, thoy sond their experienced cruisers or land hunters to look it over and es timate the distanco from tho rivers and if their report is satisfactory 'tthey buy. A good cruiser always com mands good wages for tho company has to rely ou his judgment, it is nothing for a cruiser to got ,$5.00 a day and-oven more but then it does not any uioro than pay for tho hard ships and long years of oxporionco that a ormsor has to go through; thcro arc also cruisers who go in on their own hook and look over stato land and buy it thomsclycs and sell it to tho company. When thoy start out on a oruiso goncrally two go together and their outfit consists of u good compass an ax and gcnorally a gun to kill small game with. Their blankets and pro visions of whioh somo times thoy huvo to havo onough to last u month; all of which they carry on their back whilo fording rivers, climbing moun tains, wading through swamps, clam boring ovor brush, following old lines or blitzes on tho trees which nro made thirty years before and aro therefore v'oiy dim. Counting their steps to tell how far to go to get across a forty aero field. And nt night laying down on tho oauip ground under some friondly treoand thcro sloop tho slcop of the just, and so on from day to thy until their work is done, When thoy return and mako thoir report and like enough start on n Binglo journey tho next morning. As 1 have mentioned bofore, if tho report is satisfactory from tho cruisers tho company will buy tho land and lot tho contract to cut, skid and haul tho logs to tho l Iv or and somotimi-s drivo them to tho saw" iiSlls,aftay down tho river, (lon crally iu the month of August or Sep tember Iho oontraotors or loggers mako their properations to go up tho river to , begin tho wintci's work; for thoy havo camps lo build and roads to mako. For a groat deal of pains is taken with the roads, first tho trocs aro grubbed out for two rods or moro in width, logs are cut out and finally graded down as good almost as the road bed of n rail road, for thcro will bo somo monstrous loads of logs hauled over these roads, loads that aro piled up liko a load of hay; tho writer has seen over sixteen thousand feet loaded on ono pair of sleighs and hauled over four miles with four horses. Then also provisions have to bo hauled from tho nearest railroad station. Sometimes thirty miles away and tho most of it has to bo dono before winter scls in.( Although in tho larger camps a team is kept on the road all the while, call ed tho toat team, in the largo camps ns many as a hundred men arc working. Thcro arc horse teamsters who haul tho logs to tho river. Ox teamsters to do the skidding, sawyers to cut the logs, Hwampcrs to cut tho roads for tho oxtcamstcrs, loaders to load tho logs on tho sleighs, landing mon to unload thorn on tho rivers, road monkcjB, scales and last but not least tho high and mighty foreman. And what a bustle in a lumber camp, get up in tho morning cat breakfast and out ,in tho woods while tho stars aro shining in tho sky, and thcro busy at work un til tho welcome notes of tho dinner horn warns the men that it is timo to cat. Oh I grand old dinner horn no sweeter noteswere ever heard than tho musio you produoo in tho pinery of Wisconsin. Dinnor over .out wo go again and there to work till it's too (dark to work and away again When supper is eaten and tho fun bcginB. any longer to camp. pipes filled Violins ore brought out, songs sung and stories told. Until nine o'clock or thoro nbout, Into tho hunltfl wo clhnh, To dream nway tho lonely hours, Whilo working iu tho pines. And no it goes till sun melts tho snow, the rivers thaw out and tho camp breaks up and all go down tho river to spend their hard earned money. Whilo I am sorry to say somo times don't last very long. For when a lum berman is shut up in tho woods for six or seven months and comes out again ho gets wild inn short timo of course I don't say what makes, him wild, will leave that for your imagination. I havo seen fellows patch their clothes to save their monoy and tell what great things they aro going to do with their money, when thqy go down in tho spring. And when thoy go down moot them three dayu after and thoy would not havo a cent, but finch is ibo lifo of a lumberman. Of courso in a lumber en nip thcro iB moro or less slang words used; for iiistauco tho camp fitore is culled a wugegan, a turning placo in tho road a round turn, where tho logs aro hauled by the men is culled a cross huul, and many a poor tendor-fuot has been sent from one gang to another to borrow u cross haul or round turn. An instance is reported whvru a green, horn was sent from ono camp to anoth er camp ono cold night to borrow round turn tho foreman of that eftmp sent him to another cunp 'Jive miles farther on and tho ncxl morning he was found frozen to death, somuah for ajoko. As tho rule tho lumbermen uroavery tenderhearted class of men. I onco saw iu a camp whore I was on tho Chippewa lliver iu Wisconsin, an instance where u poor fellow was brought into oimp with his leg broken that night a subscription was started and over two hundred dullars was rais ed for him; and .ho went down tho riv er next morning with moro money than ho possibly could havo earned. Among tho laboring class of people in this country there aro nono nny hot ter protected thun tho lumberman of Wisconsin, whero tho loin law is in effect. A log must not bo rtarlcd down the river 'until every man that lias had anything to do with it has had his pay for tho lugs aro held for pay. After tho ca nips break up in tho spring there is another job on hand whioh is far moro dangerous. Tho logs havo got to bo driven down tho river and as soon as tho spring rise comes in tho river that work com mences lor tho logs havo got to bo keptmovintr. Jams to bo broken, logs to bo rolled in along tho shoro and many it poor follow has had u dis agreeable flwim among the logs and ioo cakes, but goncrally out "ami mounts another log and tries it over again, although occasionally somo poor fellow takes his last swim, 'a fog oatohos him or, ho gets caught with u cramp, Hi comrades get out his dead body and sond It to tho front although somo tltnos itjs never found ami so it goes until at last after fifty or sixty ilajs and somo times even longer the drive is done then somo more money to spend and then to hunt. Perhaps you have noticed on tho end of timber letters or characters stamped ou them, thoy arc the stamps of tho log owners and each log is also bark marked, that is in tho woods tho swampers take then uxes and hack the mark on them tho samo as aro stamped on them; and some rather queer marks tho logs havo some times; I can assuro you such'as rabbbit tracks, crow foot or marks that would look liko them, but I doubt if any ono could tell what they were unless thoy knew. Kadi mark is registered tho same as cattle brands and any log that has thut brand on be longs to tho man that owns the brand. Down tho river at tho rafting grounds tho men know all the marks and who owns them; and nt somo of the raftrng grounds a great many marks pass through, for instanco at Iiccf Slough at tho junction of tho Chippewa and Mississippi over twelve hundred marks go through there. , All tho logs arc rafted and towed down tho river to tho sawmills thcro to be sawed up in to timbers, bcantling and, boards. After awhile they find their way to Nebraska where tho farmers buy them and pays from 20.00 to $30.00 per thousand for them; and nail them on a corn crib and when the corn shelter comes along they will smash them up into kindling wood and so ends the biography of a pino board. Yours, It. T. W. An IiilvrcHlliiK Letter From the Aallonal Cupllol. IHpcclal C'orrcMuiidcuco Wahhiunton, D C. Aug. 1G, 1803. Mu. HosMKit, Silt: Your request for a loiter just received, and it is with great rcluctanco thnt I comply, for only thoso who havo seen tho World's Fair and Washington in nil hor glory, can rcalizo how feoblo nil attempt atdiscriptiou must be. I will say ycry littlo of the fair, as wo made. a flying visit, being thcro only ono day, Wo saw most of tho principal build ings, and attained u good conception of tho granduro and beauty of it all. Many of our own friends will go and see for thcmsolvcs, and thoy will find it much moro enjoyable than reading a discription of it. Tho trip over the mountains was very delightful. To a girl who had seen only tho plains of Nobraska and Iowa, it was wonderful. From Chicago we came over tho Penn sylvania Control this road winds down through tho valleys by beautiful littlo mountain streams. Wo passed around tho great horse shoo bend, nnd down tho Coueuiuugh Valley, and passed Johnstown, .the sccuo of tho Hood. To sco the busy thriving littlo town, ono would hardly think it had bocn tho sccuo of such n disaster. We saw u brick school building, standing on a hill; it was tho only building that stood tho Hood. Siuco wo cnnio to Washington we have been sight hoc ing every day. Tho most interesting placo to mo is tho Capitol. It is in docd a magnificent building, built en tirely of marble. Tu ono end is the House of ItcprcsentativcR, in tho ceutro tho Supremo Court, nnd in the other cud, tho Sonato ohambcr. Tho Capitol is filled with very beauti ful and costly paintings and statuary. There is a piwiiting in tho domo of the Capitol, which cost $10,000. Tho artist lay upon his baok, on rt scaffold ing to paint it. Underneath this painting is u circlo of designs in the marble, representing historical events. Tho sculptor died beforo ho had finish ed tho work, and no ono has been found lo finish it. Tho scaffolding is still whero tho workman left it, and tho work is still incomplete, The doors in tho cast side of tho rotunda aro of bronzo and nost $.10,000. They aro covered with designs representing historical events. All about the Cap itol aro elegantly furnished waiting rooms and lobbies. Tho grounds about tho onpitol aro very beautiful. Tho Hotnnlonl (lardcns join tho Cap itol grounds, on tho west. Many of tho most beautiful plants had gone to tho World's Fair, but tho gardens looked very beautiful. Somo of the walks nro lined with palms on both sides, and tho walks, fountains and llowcr bods nro dolightful, Tho most boautiful view wo obtained of tho city was froin'Washibnton Monument. Tho mouumcut is 050 foot, hieh. As tho elovator'roao higher and high er, I must confess (hat I felt a 'littlo nervous, and drew n sigh o( relief when I was safely on tho ground, From n height of fivo hundred feet, tho oity looks liko n toy, and tho houses like toy houses. All the land between tho Capitol and tho monu ment is gorcrcmont grouud, and is laid out in parks, flower gardens, etc. From tho monumen', tho booutilul designs of the flower gardens can bo seen, and the blocks aro outlined with trees. Wo had a very plcotant trip down tho river to Marshall Hal!, tho old home of Chief justico Marshall, of historictl fame. Tho Ilouso and grounds nro kept as nearly as posaiblo as they were when the Marshalls lived there; and hero wo saw the family burying ground with tho quocr, old fashioned inscriptions on tho tomb stDncs. Tho dinner wo ato hero Hccmcd in keeping with the antiquity or the houso and tho grounds. It was antiquo also. Wo almost wonder ed if the meal was cooked in tho time of Chief justice Marshall. Wo' wont to Mount Vernon, yesterday. It was a beautiful day and the trip was do lightful, As wo wandered through tho old house, and saw the quaint furniture, tho straight backed chairs, nnd tho queer old fashioned pictures, I tried, in vain, to rcalizo that this was tho house and furniture used so long ago by Washington. Tho most interesting here, to mo, was a suit of clothes worn by Washington, and a look of his hair. Wo saw also a cane and a pair of spectacles used by Washington. I tried to imagino his fatherly eyes, looking through the spectacles, at me. Thoro aro many places of interest I have not yet visited, bnt I hopo to visit them all beforo I como home. I hopo all my friends, can soinctimo oomo to Washington and enjoy tho sights for themselves. Hoping this will find you and all my friends well and happy, I remain, Yours respectfully, Nfii.UE West.
