Mm that embarrassing; Question. To be
I lain: about the matter, the cedar of the
northwest Is absolutely lacking In every
n;y of any Inducement for the amateur
vwM.dsmun of the Washington type. It Is
l,ue and massy, rough and scaly, and
ti.wffs up to such unheard of heights that
It takes the wooden heart of a lumber
jm k to survey Its downfall without a
tremor of fear. It Is no easy task to cut
a trunk through which four or five men
would have difficulty In hugging, or letting
dr.wrt gently a monstrous shaft of timber
vltuatcd, as It often Is, on the steep side
nt a mountain. It requires all the patience,
fklll and daring of professional men' of the
wood to accomplish such a result.

over gullies. It IS the duty of the skilled
boss of the lumber camp to so select his
site that It affords the best facilities for
clearing that can be had. When' the site
lias one a been decided upon, the men go
to work constructing out of all sorts of
lumber the shacks that they are to live
In till the work In that region la done.
These shacks usually consist of a mere
framework of boards, which are often only
split from, a straight-grained oedar log, and
ore lacking for the most part in all modern
improvements. They have no bath room,

be lightly scoffed at, for he has about him

upper side of the notch. A shnrp stamp
upon the board settles the corks Into the
wood and the lumber Jack has a platform
to stand on while performing tho rest of
t bo task.
Real Work of Fellln.
As soon us the platform Is finished the

work of felling the monster begins. It Is
sometimes a long Job to saw through a
cedar nine feet across, but tho lumber
Jack is. a putlent man and he sends the
saw bark and forth until the weight of
the tree settling upon It sticks It too fast
to be moved. It Is at this point that the
most danger Is experienced, for the great
tree, towering so far Into the air, is easily
overbalanced when sawed so frtr through
and may fall at any time or In any direc

to the other side, the lumber Jack grows
more and more careful und by a system of
well driven wedges contrives to direct the

Into-sites Inst can be bandied and the men
prepare to transport It bodily to the saw
mill, whlrh very often lies some distance
way. These logs are Invariably of such
great weight that they cannot be lifted
without the aid of a crane, and as a steam
crane Is an Impossible thing in many lo
calities It Is the duty and task of the lum
berman to haul the trunk to Its destination.
He does this In a rather Ingenious way;
when the haul Is to be a long one a skid
road It constructed. This Is a road made
of logs from ten to twelve feet wide, which
re placed some distance apart, and hoi
lowed slightly against the grain. The log
to be famed to the mill Is rolled over to
the ekldroad and placed upon It; the
noicnes in tne supporting logs are well
greased, a cable la attached to the end of
the tree trunk, the donkey engine far down
the way Is started and the bunch of future
planks and two by fours proceeds merrily
on Its way. In some cases no engine Is to
be bad; its place it supplied by able-bodied
horses, but the strain upon them Is so hard
and the road they have to travel so difficult
they soon become worthiest for this kind
of work.
la the Mill.
When the log reaches the mill It Is usu
ally thrown Into a pond and left floating
there until ready to be sawed. In which
case It Is guided over .o the shute, grasped
by an endless chain and drawn up onto the
floor of the mill; a steel arm readies out
and thrusts It Into place and large Iron
knees block It down upon the log-carriage.
The whole carriage moves back and forth
pressing the log against tho bandsaw ac
cording to the guiding hand of the opera
tor. When the trees to be cut are situated
upon a steep hillside at the foot of which
flows a river, a different system Is employed
In transporting them. A long shute is built
up to the camp, and the logs are rolled
Upon It and sent hurtling down many feet
Into the river beneath. This is a very effec
tive and easy method of disposing of them,
for the river la always willing to do Its
hare in carrying the logs on to the mills
below.
It sometimes happens that the trees are
cut In such a bad position that It would
cost more to convey them to the mill than
they are worth, the lumber-Jack then re
sorts to the following method of getting
them out. It Is nearly always possible to
And a good flow of water in any of the
mountain bordering on the Cascades. The
stream or series of springs is darned In
some convenient place and the water turned
Into a flume leading , down the mountain
side. This flume Is nothing more than a
wide trough deep enough to admit the pas
sage of what the lumber men call. shingle
bolts, that Is, one-quarter of a section of
log which has been sawed off to a shingle
length. When the water la flooding down
the flume, the men haul the shingle bolts
to It from far and near and send them
darting down to the level below. The speed
at which they travel Is at times terrific,
they shoot over chasms and around bends,
disappear in the dark of the woods and
dart Into the light again, and Anally amid
a shower of spray dive Into the receiving
lake or river. Here they are . gathered to
gether in a series- of booms and either
towed or shoved to the neighborhood of the
mill. Of course this means of transporta
tion can be used only in the case of shingle
lumber, but a a vast amount of the Wash
ington cedar becomes shingles, no hesitancy
is felt In employing It where the situation
does not warrsnt another method.
Desertion and Desolation.
At first sight a person would naturally
accuse the lumberman of gross wasteful
ness, for, after a camp has divested a claim
of Its trees It moves away and invariably
leaves after 1 hundreds of prostrate trunks
which contain thousands of feet of valua
ble lumber. The skid-roads are never torn
up, the very houses themselves are left as
they" are to be the future. home of tramps
and wanderers; Over the whole claim the
stumps of the trees rise up In close succes
sion, sometimes reaching to the height of
twenty feet. There seems to be no need
for such extravagance, but a little exami
nation of conditions suffices to show that
by . doing Just as they did the lumberman
saved -both money and labor. In the first
place, as far as the houses are concerned,
It it of no matter what become of them
when they . have served their turn. Lumber
Is to cheap and they are built so easily and
crudely that It would not pay to transport
them elsewhere. It would cost something
to tear them down, so the cheapest thing
to be done Is to leave them as they are.
The stumps that rise over the fields are of
some value, but not for the purposes of
the lumberman and his mills. They are all
rich In pitch and sooner or later a company
will be organized to extract this from them
to the lumberman this pitch Ss of no- value,
but rather a positive Injury.
It Is in fields of stumps such as these that
the vast forest fires usually begin. The
branches of the cedars and fir are left
where they are lopped off, and the stumps
dry out till they are as crisp as tinder,
Thrown In such a place as this a Are finds
plenty of chance to grow, and seldom falls
to make the most of its opportunity. It
gives one a rather desolate feeling to ride
for miles through clearings of this sort
and see everywhere the signs of fire; It Is
only recently that the public ha awakened
to the value of the timber and efforts are
being made to preserve It.

There are anomalies In the want ad of the
dally newspaper. Through so many of the
classifications of the want ad the purpose
of the advertiser Is to catch and claim the
attention of the Individual or firm most In
terested In the thing advert'aed by the ad
vertiser. The writer of the ad does not
care If 10,000 uninterested ones read it and
comment upon It. He Is seeking a definite
result. If he Is advertising for a position
as a bookkeeper he does not care If a
thousand men wanting a porter should read
every line of his matter. And the employer
who is advertising for a porter has no In
terest In the statement that a thousand
bookkeepers may see and read his want.
Ordinarily the person who is seeking a
flat reads every line In the classification of
"Flats to Kent" and sees nothing else on
the whole page. In the same manner the
man who Is seeking money to loan or an In
vestment for his savings In real estate
studies these departments to the exclusion
of everything else. The woman who want
to hire a maid seeks the one corner of the
paper where her one want Is touched upon
and is done with the sheet In a moment
after.
Position Gives Opportunity.
But on a second thought, the layman will
see another side to these conditions. lie
will realise that no matter in what field
the patron of the want ad goes searching,
It .Is the one definite thing prompted by a
one definite want. His attentions will not
be distracted by anything In any other por
tion of the paper. There Is no reading mat
ter to tempt him to turn aside. There aro
no attractive half-tones on Interesting sub
jects to divide his thoughts.
All of which bring to the user of the
classified columns of the newspaper the
fact that, small as his contribution my be
to the sum total of the column, tt has a
position of advantage that not even the
display advertising of the biggest firms can
claim. This points at once to the necessity
for consideration of style and directness
and effectiveness In 'the want ad.
For two reasons the want ad has been
slighted In Its makeup. On the part of the
big advertiser who uses It. the Idea pre
vails that as It docs not cost much It Is
not worthy especial attention from the
advertisement writer. On the part of hun
dreds of Individuals without business ex
perlence, there Is a lack of knowledge of
everything that In these days Is making
advertisement writing a business and an
art
Set Expressions Kill Effort.
The ordinary young man who may de
cide to put an ad In a paper asking for
a situation as clerk, for Instance, Blmply
announces In the most desultory way that
A clerk Is out of A position and would
like A Job with A house that'wlll pay him
A salary that suffices his needs. To the
man who may want a clerk for a certain
position, a group of such ads reads a good
deal like an announcement that 200 clerks,
wanting places somewhere, are standing In
a bunch at a certain street corner. He
does not want to go Into a crowd to be
mobbed; he does not feel like reading forty
or fifty want ads all alike and summoning
the forty or fifty individuals Into his of
fice, where a hurried choice would have
to be made under difficulties. Yet he may
decide that'lt Is Impossible to? attempt a'
selection of an Individual from the classi
fied wants. ' Why T
It Is not because there are not compe
tent men who would suit him In this list.
It is because good and bad and Indifferent
Individuals have followed the same lines
of expression in. stating the set condi
tions of the ordinary man who Is out of
a Job. In a long, dead level of such ad
vertisements, one well written want, hav
ing In It the color of the Individual and
perhaps three or four words In a striking
phrase, may attract fifty offers of employ
ment where a dosen other might not have
a single answer.
Select Yonr Own Employer,
Not long ago a friend camr-to me asking
for a suggestion In wording a want. We
took the subject up and discussed It. I
knew him and he knew himself. Between
us we wrote an advertisement that cost
perhaps three times the average price of
the small want ad., but In the returns he
received sixty-one answers, and Instead of
being a seeker after a Job he became arse,
lecter of his employer from the many.
There are excuses for the average person
who Is seeking a position, if his want Is not
clear and full of meaning for the possible
patron.'. There Is no excuse for some of the
big firms In Chicago which take small In
tcrest lu the wording of the small ad. Just
because It la cheap. ...
Real Estate Ads- Confuse.
The real estate-firm is one of those which
should see better things In the small ad.
Ordinarily the name, of the firm Is made to
stand out In prominent type. Telephone
numbers aro played up Jn the reading mat
ter and perhaps, the suggestion that the
firm is one of the oldest and largest and
busiest In the city.' Following this will be
a directory list of bargains in real estate,
the clearest things in It being the dimen
sions in foet of' the properties. These ads,
are supposed to appeal to the men who
have perhaps 150,000 On which to retire from
business life. The 3 per cent of the savings
bank is not enough for living expenses for
the family and the man with this savings
Is appealed to by the real estate firm to
make Investments In property.
To the ordinary man of the type these dl
menslons . of lots . and their prices mean
nothing. The man likely is a stranger. He
knows nothing of property values. He
kr.ows nothing of neighborhoods. The
longer this mere directory list Is the more
confusing It may be to him.
Give m Clear Conception.
Manifestly, the thing to do is to advertise
the Individual property In a' clear and con
vincing manner. The Idea of conveying to
a possible stranger the mere length of a
real estate list is like a store' advertising
such a confusing profusion of merchandise
that the purchaser cannot hope to make an
Intelligent choice.
xast spring 'a rnena of mine rented a
south side flat. It was the first flat he went
to look at. lie closed with the agency In an
hour after he and his wife had seen It. Yet
he found track of the place In a Tribune
want ad. It was anything but the conven
tional ad, however. The agent knew Just
what kind of a flat he bad and he gave the
Impression of It In the ad. It was away
from noise, and light beyond the possibility
of a new wall's darkening It on any side; It
was cool In summer and thl janitor made
certain of its being warm In winter; and It
was within walking distance of downtown
on any bracing morning. To my friend It
was tne only ad In the list that held hi
attention for a half minute.
Details appeal more strong:y to the reader
of the real estate columns, perhaps, than to
any other department In classified adver
tising. The Interested reader frequently
la a seeker after a home. As all things in
the home are secondary to the establish.
ment of the home, Whether as a rented
apartment or a a purchased mansion, so
Interest is first In flxtng Upon the bablta
tlon.
There I strong evidence In support of the
Idea that a well described piece of prop
erty for sale or for rent by an established
Arm serve a double purpose in advertising.
A man reading for something he may want
discovers an accurate description of Some
thing he does not want. He compares the
one with the advertisement of other things
that are meaningless, but which he might
want, and he makes the mental note that
at least one real estate firm knows its busi
ness. The firm's nam Is not forgotten.
Before he I done with the want ads he
may gravitate to the concern' place of
business In personal Inquiry-
Good Valae In Dally.
The cleverly worded advertisement Is not
all. however. It must be placed where it
will be seen by the probable constituency of
the advertiser. For this reason the adver
tisement In the daily paper may show re
sults approacblng the Sunday issues. The
A In the week dsy Issue catches the busi
ness man beyond the ad In the Sunday
paper, when the man of business may be
resting or out of town.
Again, the cost of the Insertion In a pa
per Is no gauge of the paper's worth as a
medium. An insertion In one sheet at I
cents a line may be doubly dearer than to
pay 25 cents In another. If a solid business
man is to be reached through the mean
of either a small or large ad the advertiser
unquestionably must choose a paper that
Is read by the solid man of business. Other
wise he Is a Simple Simon, fishing for
