The problem of keeping an open pond for logs, in order to permit of winter sawing, is one which is receiving some attention in the United States. The Mississippi Valley Lumberman publishes a description of the system used by the Yawkey Lumber Co., of Hazlehurst, Wis., which we re- produce, believing that it may offer some sugges- tions to Canadian lumbermen : The mill of the Yawkey Lumber Co. was built in 1889, and has been operated every winter since that time. As Mr. C. C. Yawkey, the manager of the company, is one of the most enterprising and progressive lumber manufacturers of the goes without sayingthatanything thathas proven satisfactory to him must be about right, and an experience covering the sawing season of ten winters ought to make his system of sufficient value to recommend its adoption elsewhere. As Mr. Yawkey says, each saw mill presents its own problems, and where a certain method employed would be all right for one plant, it might not meet the conditions of another. He says the first thing necessary to keeping a pond open all winter is to have a tight board fence around the pond and plenty of hot water running into it. It is also desirable to have the pond as large as possible so that the logs will lay for some the exhaust steam entering the condenser, and with a sufficient supply of cold water they find that there is little or no back pressure. The outlets from the condenser consist of two pipes. One of these is a large one entering the pond in front of the condenser, and the other a smaller one extendingaround the other side of pond, where it delivers water into the pond at two places. They also have a small pump which pumps water through their refuse burner, where it is heated and delivered into the pond in three differ- ent places alon
