Did he call on the Northwest to furnish ocean bridges, or was ‘it just a false alarm? If he did, there’s been something rotten responded. And today, yards, appears a new “win the war” Getting the Goods.” On the Skookumchuck river, the in the mystery entitled, about 12 miles big way southeast ship timbers for these the Northwest has while the need grows for long ship timbers for the ship- “Why Uncle Sam Isn't of Tenino, and within a few hours’ ride of Tacoma, there are hundreds of millions of feet of the finest kind of long shipbuilding timber—lying untouched. And in the heart of this rich timber belt—one of the finest in the state— there is a completely-equipped camp, capable of accommodating from 200 to 300 men, with beds, water system, telephone system and everything else needed ‘or a logging camp—all idle. And running to this camp from Tenino thru the heart of the timber ‘belt there is a perfectly constructed railroad line — well grades and alignment—its rails rusted. It’s not a cheap little logging road with dog-path ballasted, with good curves and terrifying grades, either, but a carefully engineered enterprise over which 100-foot timbers, for which our yards have crying need, can be transported with ease and speed. On the tracks stand a big locomotive and other equipment that could be used in hauling out big ship timbers for Uncle Sam—idle and rusty. Looking down upon the picture of waste, the giant firs stand there within a stone’s throw of the almost deserted camp, rooted fast in kaiserlich defiance. War? The place is as peaceful as death. The only human beings to be found are an easy-going watchman, and baby. They are there, watching over the rusty idleness. Let’s wipe the rust off those rails.
