While the unusually mild weath- er has been a boon to stockmen and farmers it has raised the pro- verbial “devil” with the sawmill send upon snow and for sleighing in and} Not in men, who de; cold weather gathering: the log crop. one, we are inform- the pioneer sawmill mild winters are not uncommon, with light snowfall on the mountain and no snow at all on the prairie, it is seldom that there is not sufficient snow for good sleighing for logging op-} erations. Atone time the snow was filly 16 inches deep but the continued rains have melted ev-| ery bit of it and softened the, ground so that it is next to impos-; sible to do any logging at this time. What the loggers want for ideal conditions isa hard frozen ground with a light snow of from eight to twelve inches. Up to this time the ground has not been. frozen hard at any time and the mill men have almost given up hopes of ideal conditions prevailing this winter, because it is already late just like this ed by some o: men, While rains always winding up witha snowstorm, which- ‘protects the ground from the frost and also has a tendency to make the snow very soft, therefore wearing out quickly in the main traveled roads. Also in felling trees the limbs drive into the ground two; and three feet deep, so that the logs are pinioned down to the ground and are hard to get loose. The Hussman Lumber Co, has had a crew of twenty-six men at work every day since the ‘first snow fell up to the present time! but have now abandoned further | arrangements to operate his mill for the Hussman Lumber Co., who recently bought eighty acres timber land near his mill and where they have been trying hard to get this timber to the mill. We sincerely hope that weather conditions will change in the near future so that the mills will be en- abled to get ina record run and thus help the whole community— | for saw milling is one of the lead- ing industries of the Keuterville section, as well as of our own city. ey ieee Will Leave Cottonwood Their many friends in Cotton- wood and this entire vicinity will ; regret to learn that Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Phillips are preparing to| leave Cottonwood within a few days. They will go from here to Portland, their former home, and |* will locate somewhere in that part | of the country, where Mr. Phillips | will continue in the harness busi- ness. This change is made necessary by the poor condition of Mrs. Phillips’ health, which requires a change to a lower altitude, accord- ing to the advice of her physician. Mr. Phillips has successfully conducted the harness shop here for the last three years and has built upa nice business. It is not yet known to the public who his successor will be, as he has several prospective buyers “‘on the string,” but he is sure that a deal will be closed within the next week. Mr. and Mrs. Phillips have many friends here who will regret to lose them, but all wish them success wherever they may locate.

While this statement has always been true of De Laval machines, it is true today to an even greater degree than ever before because of the many improvements in the NEW De Laval. The new self-centering bow] which gives the machine greater capacity and skimming efficiency, the De Laval bell speed-indicator, which alone would be worth many dollars a year to a cow owner, the improved automatic oiling system and the many other improvements found in no other make of machine, make the NEW De Laval by far the most satisfactory separator to operate and the most profitable to own.
