letting the log dry from the inside. As the drying out 

 process was not sufficiently rapid, all the apertures were 

 sealed and a sprinkler turned in for two weeks, day and 

 night. This washed out the sap and hastened the seas-

 lost 1,180 pounds in weight. 



Mr. Kellogg himself cut the windows and planned 

 the interior, which contains three rooms, each six feet 

 square a living room, a bed-room and the chauffer's 

 room. They are not ordinary rooms, but are furnished 

 in a luxurious manner throughout. A fire place is built 

 on one side of the living room ; the beds are wonder- 

 ful creations, with soft mattresses that fold down at 

 night. The toilet appurtenances are exquisite ; there are 

 clever little drawers, folding arrangements and plate 

 glass windows, and the whole car is lighted with elec- 



tric light. The finished body is 19 feet long, the whole 

 trunk being one solid block of polished redwood of 

 exquisite grain. The rear door is also a solid block 

 of redwood weighing 400 pounds. The hinges were 

 fashioned by Mr. Kellogg from the rim of a wheel from 

 an old prairie schooner, and the window shades are of 

 yucca bark, stamped in Indian designs. 



Mr. Kellogg has now driven "Travel-log," as he calls 

 it, more than 5,000 miles, covering many of the famous 

 mountain roads of California, notably the Rattlesnake

 which was designed to have a capacity of 2 tons, carries

WALNUT LOG PRICES 



"W7ALNUT log prices that the Government considers 

 fair will be published soon, and owners of trees or 

 logs should wait for these prices, unless they are satis- 

 fied with what they are offered. Representation that the 

 Government is buying walnut is false. Neither is there 

 any move by the Government to commandeer walnut. 

 Walnut trees or logs are being bought by private con- 

 cerns having contracts with the Government for gun- 

 stocks or airplane propellers. It is a patriotic duty to sell 

 walnut trees or logs, but owners should be reasonably 

 satisfied they are getting fair prices. The Government 

 has announced that it will publish a list of fair prices, 

 both for logs f. o. b. cars and on the stump. 



FREE WOOD FOR FUEL IN ARIZONA 



T? REE use of dead wood for fuel has been granted the 

 * residents of Flagstaff, Arizona. This brings the 

 policy for the Coconino Forest in line with that adopted 

 on the Santa Fe and Carson where the use of green timber 

 is prohibited under free use, but dead wood may be taken 

 without permits by residents of Santa Fe and Taos.

 from the unusual botanical specimen sent in by Miss 

 Long.
