Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. them, between railway companies and shippers have always been a source of loss. Frequent attempts have been made to solve the problems connected with this situation. Many of those who have looked into the car stake illustrated herewith believe that it will go a long way towards simplifying matters and that it would be a great benefit to the trade if it could be generally adopted. In staking a flat car with round stakes, according to the pre- sent methods, each car involves the destruction of eight young trees. Wiring and staking in a timber country costs on an average of $ per car, placing no value on the trees from which the stakes are made. An additional feature, making the adoption of some prac- tical car stake of the utmost importance, is the danger to life, which present methods involve. In order to unload logs with wooden stakes, it is necessary for one man to stand in front of the car and cut the stakes. This operation frequently results in injury to the workman, and sometimes death. Millmen prefer loading flat cars with lumber after the car has been staked, but in a great many cases refuse flat cars and order box cars, so as to avoid the troubles incident to staking. It is claim- ed by those who have looked into the stake shown in the accom- panying illustrations that it will serve the purpose of any shipper.
