Northwestern Lumberman. The latter-day mill men in the northwest are bent on economy, as the one great desideratum now necessary of attainment, and are seeking new ways for making the most out of every log that goes into the mill boom. The band saw, or thin saws generally, constitute, as an idea, the nucleus for economy, but the ways of getting a little more out of a log, or for reforming the methods of the past are numerous. With the general purpose of economy in view new and improved machinery is constantly going in for decreasing waste, secur- ing greater perfection in manufacture, and for lessening the cost of producing. Another thing is also noted. Carelessness in handling stock or an adherence to hide-bound notions by workmen is not now tolerated as in clays of yore. It is about as important to look to the grade of product, as to guard against the waste of material in manufacture. Thus care in running stock through a piece of machinery may considerably increase the returns. For example, it is becoming the prac- tice in some parts to have an expert inspector pass on every board that is to go through a planing machine, who marks the side to be surfaced, instead of trusting to the hasty and deficient judgment of most operatives of such machinery. The grade of stuff submitted to this process becomes more uniform, and many a board is saved from going into a lower grade. The same principle applies in other ways. With the white pine men it has become a question of producing econ- omically and well, rather than with unceasing, high pressure rapidity. PUBLICATIONS.
