Articles of Incorporation for the Freeo Valley Railroad Company, 

 which proposes to construct a railroad from Kaglo Mills to I'rinceton, 

 .\rk.. were nicd with the secretary of the slaie of Arkansas on .tune IB.

Something unique as a log roll form of transportation Is now being 

 operated by the Forked Leaf Onk Compony at Its plant near Heber 

 Springs, Ark. The company's mills are located just south of the town, 

 nt the foot of Round mountain, which exlends more than .lOO feet 

 above the plant. The log roll Is a straight passage cut from the top 

 of the mountain, down its side to the mill plant. The logs are cut and 

 dragged to the edge of the roll, and pushed into it. Down the roll 

 I hoy arc hurled for more than a quarter of a mile, landing within easy 

 illslnnce of the plant. This means of transportation affords amusement 

 lo the visitors of the town, as they can stand In the streets and watch 

 ibo logs l)eing transported to the mill. It is also a happy solution 

 for a very serious problem for the company, for the mountain is so 

 stoop and rugged that it is almost Impossible for teams to climb It, and 

 logging by wagon Is simply out of the question.
