NEW BAND B.ESAWING MACHINE. 



AVe are pleased to show our readers cut 

 of a new machine which is new in de- 

 sign and built on new principles. It was 

 patented Februarj' 27, lOOO, and is meet- 

 ing with favor wherever in use, and for 

 a machine of medium capacity intended 

 for general resawing, it is easilj- one of 

 the best yet built. 



Some of its most salient points are wovtii 

 careful considerati'in. 



The upijer wheel is mounted on a heavy 

 column, reducing all tendency to vibration 

 and insuring fast speed. The improved 

 tension on the blade is very sensitive and 

 reliable, and is unilorm on all occasions. 

 The lower wheel is .solid, thus lessening 

 circulation of dust, increasing momentum, 

 and preventing the upper wheel from over- 

 running it. The upper wheel has a lat- 

 eral adjustment to keep the saw on its 

 lii'oper path without stopping machine. 



The feed is variable and linilt on :m 



The saw and shingle mill of J. S. Chase 

 at Pembine was destroyed by fire recently, 

 the loss amiiunting to $5,000.

DINING CAB SERVICE. 



Jlobile & Ohio Reduces Time. New Orleans 

 to St. T^uis. 



••The Mobile & Ohio Railroad is engaged 

 in a commcudalile efl^'ort to annihilate space 

 between this city and St. Louis, and. lie- 

 ginning Sunday. August 31. it will uiate- 

 riallv shorten the time taken to traverse 

 the distance lietweeu the two cities by the 

 way of Jleridian. And tliis date. too. will 

 mark the inauguration of diningcar service 

 a la carte on this line. This iimovation 

 will be a welcome one to travelers, wlio 

 heretofore liave been subjected to the 

 alwmination of taking their meals on the 

 catch-as-catcli-can plan at meal stations 

 along the route. 



"Passengers, by means of this new serv- 

 ice, will be enabled to eat when they feci 

 disposed', eat what tliey want at tlieir leis- 

 ure and pay only for what they order, witli 

 a choice of anything in tlie gastronomi.; 

 line from a cup of coffee to a course dinner. 



•These new dining cars, by the way. are 

 to be veritable palaces, fitted with every 

 possible convenience known to modem rail- 

 road traffic. The decorations are of a 

 superb order and the cars are lirilliantly 

 illuminated with incandescents. while a 

 plenteous supply of electric fans will keep 

 the atmosphere at a comfoirtable temper- 

 ature, no matter how high the mercurj' may 

 soar outside the cars. 



"The cuisine will leav..- nothing to be de- 

 •'• -d. and in this particular little more need 

 be said than that it will be on a scale that 

 will excel that of the Mobile & t)hio's eat- 

 ing house at Artesia. Miss., and which gave 

 that hostelry the reputation of seiwing 

 about the best meal to be had on the line 

 of any railroad in the United States. 



••One of the most striking as well as 

 pleasant features of this service is the an- 

 nouncement by the management that it will 

 make of the dining-car service merely a 

 convenience for the traveling public, serv- 

 ing everything at as near cost as possible^ 

 Mith no desire to make the service a source 

 of profit to the company."'— From The 

 Times-Democrat. New Orleans, L.*!., Aug. 

 i9, 1902.
