Next fall during the Hud- son-Fulton celebration, the Clermont replica will he the. central figure in a great flotilla of warships of all as- tions which will accompany her over the same course on the Hudson from New York to Albany. which Fulton took in the original on August 17, 1807, amid the derision of the multi~ tudes wire lined the shores and was- gishly callrd the lnvcntor's expedition "Il‘ulion‘s Folly." ’l‘hc ceremonies today were witness- cd by abunt five thousand persons in cludiug the nrajorly of the living lit» cal descendants of Robert Fulton and Chancellor Livingston. General Stcw- art 14.

Mrs. Sutclifl'e broke on the bow of the replica a beautiful silver filigree glass vase filled with water from the well on the old Livingston place at Clermont-ontbeHudsou, where Fulton made the first stop on the maiden trip of the Cleruront. As the vase broke she said: . "1 name thee Clermout, suspiciously again proclaiming to the American pot) pie Fulton's sentiment in his essay to the friends of mankind, 'lndustry will give abundance to a virtuous world and call mankind to one unbounded feast of harmony and friendship.’ " While the sponsor spoke a dozen carrier pigeons were released rafter the Japanese custom) from a wicker basket and started their flight north to their homes on the Hudson. On a leg of each pigeon a ribbon was fair- tened bearing the words froru Fulton's essay used by Mrs. Sutcllffe. The replica is as nearly the dupli- cate of the original as the commission could build from plans and dimensions noted in some of Fulton‘s own letters. She is 160 feet long. 111 feet wide. 7 feet deep and draws tworfeet of wet er. Her sides are almost straight up and down and both ends are wedge- sbaped. She will be equipped with a replica of the engine and make her trip up the Hudson to Albany under her own steam. ORGANIST CORBY TO PLAY.

This counterfeit is one of the best that local banking men have seen and the general public would pass it by without question. With banking men,I however. it Is a little different. and Mr. Adams noticed that it looked a little “phoney.” as it came over the counter to him. He called the atten~ tion of Secretary and Treasurer Charles E. Hoyt to his find and an in- vestigation ‘was started to get the bill's history so far as this city was concerned. it Passed Several Hands. 1t developed that the fake certificate had come from a saloon, where it had been paid in by an engineer in a local factory and the engineer in turn got it from a local butcher. Here all trace of its previous travels was lost. Some one had paid it in to the market- man, but he had no recollection of whom it had been. One fact was cer- tain, that none of those who handled it, noticed anything out of the ordinary. such a faithful reproduction of the real article is it. Believed to be a New One. From the fact that it is not listed in the National Counterfeit Detector. it is believed that the issue is a new one and may have just been launched on the public. inasmuch as the Nation- al Detector agrees to pay subscribers face value on counterfclts they find not listed. If is expected that this will he the way in which rt-rlurburscmcnt will be sutured for this note This is the first counterfeit bill that‘has been located in this city for some time and it was quickly put out of business by writing the word “(lottnturfeit" across it in bold letterswilh red ink.

Portrait of Andrew Jackson. together with a frontier scene, which in the real government note is quite well known. The counterfeit is apparently print- ed from etched plates and of good workmanship. on fairly good paper, in which the silk fibre is missing. The Jackson portrait is particularly good. tough a comparison with a real bill shows a little roughness in the corru- forfeit. The printing of the bill Is also a little below standard, some of the lettering being light and it does not stand out in bold relief like the gen- uino. The coloring is considered good and the imitation of the rod seal Is particularly good. both as to the cut and coloring. Tire number on this par- ticular bill is A 2444119. IlllIHS Ill illlllllllS.

He replied In his stately and characteristic way: “1 really don't intend to go to the game. While 1 can see how it might be very interesting if one understands It, 1 have no desire to go. because 1 could not tell a fly from a foul. The fact is, 1 am kept; pretty busy now. and even In my youth 1 had not time to be properly educated along this line; but 1 envy the boys who know the game.’ A story is told of how a constituent came to visit him during his early con- gressional career.

The extremely cold, windy weather also has kept the green grass from starting as early as usual, 1n 0011119< quence of which, the ranges have been fully a month late. When the astral time arrived for turning the stock on the open ranges from the feed lots tlwro was little grass available and as the stockmeu had used up all their supply of hay, the stock. especially the cattle, suffered for want of feed. In New Mexico the sheepmeu made a strong plea to the forest service to allow thorn to take some of their herds into the Pecos National Forest which has been closed aginst sheop grating for several years. The closing of this fort-st to sheep was owing to the watershed interests involved together with the question of protecting the young growth of timber which Is coming forward. However, the con- dition “'le so serious that the forester suspended for a limb tho prohibition against sheep and 35mm school) will be allowed to enter that turns! to graze until such Illllt' as Ilit' It‘lrzlilitlns on the outside raugt-s lil'l‘liiilt' normal, which is hoped will he i1< soon as. the summer rains set in early in July. The stocknien using the public mu es adjoining several other nation- al crests in New Mexico have made urgent requests to the forester to be allowed to take their herds into these forests for food. As those forests are already stocked to their capacity, the requests could not be granted lcst those already using them should be irr- jured and their supply 0 1' feed cut short. In several forests in Wyoming and Colorado the fpes for lambing privi- logos on national forests will he re funded to the sheepmen because of their inability to use the lamblng grounds. in addition to this. the sea» son will be extended a ruonth in sev- eral instances so as to make up. as far as possible. for the enforced re duction in the early spring period. On all the forests where the winter and spring losses have reduced the stockmen's herds below the number for which they havc tm-u granted (1 permit, and they do um l min! to pur~ chase other stocw to make up their rrtrmber, they will be allowed to amend their application for the exact utrmber which they will graze without preju- dicing their applications in the fu- ture. it therefore will be seen readily that the regulationse of the forest service for handling grazing matters are suf‘ flclently flexible to take care of emcr~ goodies and meet all unusual condi- tions which may occur from time to time. Further than this the manner in whlch the officers of the forest sen vice have taken hold of this matter proves that they are always alive to the interest of the stockmeu and more ‘ tlrnn willing to do all in their power to protect the from losses Aipleaslng lustratlon of the care the stockmen take of their animals was noticed in a recent trip of forest officers over some of the ranges in Colorado and Wyoming. The sheep had been sheared at the usual time. but as the season was backward and the animals in rather poor condition. to most unusual storms many df the sheepmen had provided small canvas blankets or covers for the sheep. After shearing t'bem coyers were fastened to the sheep in such a way as to protect their backs and sides. which in a measure took the place of the wool which had been taken from them. Thus they were better ‘able to withstand a Severe storm and the use of such blankets has been the means of saving many thousands of dollars to the shop owners.

(letter-ally a packing box is looked on an an inconsequential thing. btrt it is not. If packing boxes were to dis» appear from this country over night. the public would be in an awful plight, ou muld get no soap, no starch, no tca, no eggs, etc, because all these .lrings are transported front the dealer to the retailcd and consumer ru boxes. All kinds of wood are used in the manufacture of the boxes—white pine. poplar, spruce and cottonwood. The drain on the lumber fort-sis. he canes of the growth of the country, has been so great that lumber has kept :tdianclug since .1893 with never a setback. Mills, especially the white pine ones, get pay for every scrap of lumber nowadays and stop short only at the sawdust pile. What a differ- ence! Tworrtyvflve years ago a. board with a loose knot in it but sound oth- erwise was apt to be sent to the burner dad destroyed. But the boxman cart ctrt out the rot knots and shake. and can pay a price, and a high one. for them. For years the iumbemian has found a sure market for his knotty, shaky. worm-eaten and deny lumber with the boxman. it has been estimated that the pack- ing box industry of the United States consumes annually 50 per cent. of tile entire lumber cut. This means in the aggregate a tremendous amount of lumber. The box industry of the coun- try ls, perhaps, one of the largest and most important commercial enter- prises. There nre boxes and boxes. as there are boxmakers and boxmakera.1n every city there are local nailing up box shops, where the lumber is man- ufactured into the complete trailed up box and the same is delivered to the warehouse ready to have the packer fill it with goods. Some of these boxes are nailed together or dovetailed at the four corners. . Up in the country districts of New England are many box factories that make only small lock cornered boxes from native second growth pine. Some of these boxes are so small as to pack a finger ring ready for the mail Thousands of young boys and girls earn good wages in these factories, the work being clean and not over arduous. it takes the deft fingers of a girl quick- Iy to handle some of these little boxes. The industry is a. large one. A “shook" or box in the “knock down" simply is the six parts of a box led in bundles and so shipped to the consumers: when received in the warer houses the user nails them up ‘as he needs them. The box business in these days of costly and imperfect lumber must he run on highly practical as well as set snttflc lines. The men must be train- ed and then carefully watched over. Usually lumber comes .to the baxman as inch boards. These are unloaded from the cars and carefully inspected rad plied in separate piles in accord-- rnce with their defects. When the lumber is called for by the foreman the an' loada- such boards as mi: be used for on tracks and they are bauiedvto the placing mill absdsadtlist'e pliedsqthat theatre All Parts of Town _ .9;- face machine can reach them readily. 'l‘hc surfacing machine can be made to plane one or two sides of the board as desired; usually two sides are planed. The operator feeds boards into the machine, which pass under and ovcr rotary knives and come out at the other end smoothly planed as boards sevcneightbs of an inch thick. 1f thlrt boxes are to be made these boards are split by a thin resaw. either in the full length of the board or in the smaller sections. The board now goes to the cross cut- for, the man who cuts the box to length. lie must know his business so well that when he has cut up the board he has cut out only the sheer luwly worthless parts. and managed so that the last piece will leave little waste. Waste is the great bugbear in a box factory. so much so that carelessness regarding it may ruin a manufac- turer Tire pieces cut to length are passed on to the operator called a “ripper." The boxes may need three pieces to make a top or bottom and the ripper must so handle his stock as to get the last inch out of it. As fast as the sides, or tops, or hot- toms, or ends are cut boys bundle them into convenient packages and they are secured with twins 61‘ wire. it the boxes are to be printed they are sent to the printing press and re ceiva the impression from a brass die on a revolving cylinder. Printing is done in one. two or three colors. If the riser desires a tight, snug box the. loose pieces are tongued and grooved. if heavy boxes are required it is ac- cessary to fortify the ends by battens or cleats. These are nailed to the ends by means of ingenious nailing machines that feed, drive and clinch the nails. The precision and reliabilv ity these nailing machines is some- thing wonderful. Manufacturers of stocks have their special lines. Some prefer to work only on heavy boxes and rig up their plants accordingly. and often devise machinery specially suited to the ‘ work. Again others will go in for smaller boxes. There are those who make nothing but boxes for canned corn. tomatoes. etc.. and others who makes boxes only for sheet tin. The butter box is a business by it- self. as is the egg case business. You can make two kinds of egg cases, one that is to be used only for quick ship-I meat and the other for cold storage. The former can be made of almost any kind of wood, while the latter must be made of some inodorous wood like cottonwood or poplar. Eggs in storage will absorb odors. hence the necessity of avoiding a pine box with a resinous odor. Millions of egg are used annually and. the bulk of. them are from veneered lumber. Cot- tonwood logs are sawed in two or three foot. lengths andare placed in a. ven- eer cutting lathe. . The log is made to revdive against e keen knife. and as a result a ribbon. of lumber leaves the log until it is out down to the core. This ribbon of wood is chopped to certain sises of an as: case. length, width and depth. Tho drying of these veneers without warp- 4 ing always has proved a- problem, and ‘ ‘ as a rule the open air has been rolled on. There are veneer drying machines which are more or less successful»?
