A MODERN CAMP TRAIN 



The North Coast Timber Co., of 

 Tacoma, Wash., has just completed 

 a new logging camp equipment, cap- 

 able of housing 130 men. 



It is regarded as the latest word 

 in the modern housing of men on 

 wheels. The camp train consists of 

 men on wheels.. The camp train con- 

 sists of 17 standard cars. 



The blacksmith is provided with 

 all modern tools. The filing car is 

 divided into two sections, fitted with 

 two benches and lighted by a sky- 

 light. 



The bath and drying rooms are 

 combined in one car. 



The library car is 11 x 42, equipped 

 with six tables and shelves for books. 

 The car is painted white and is sup- 

 plied with several rocking chairs. 



Provision has been made for hous- 

 ing the train men and cooks in one 

 car. 



A kitchen car, with a dining car 

 at either end, makes adequate pro- 

 vision for feeding the crew. The 

 sleeping cars are 11 x 42, each with 

 accommodations for 16 men, and are 

 provided with end doors. Steel bunks 

 are provided, with a window for each 

 bunk. In the arrangement of the 

 cars a 16-foot clear space is left for a 

 .sitting room. 



The camp train is lighted by means 

 of an Edison storage system of 100 

 lights and is heated by steam. Every 

 provision for the comfort of the man 

 has been made. 



SMALL POWER PLANTS A 

 FARMER'S AID 



In the study of wood using in- 

 dustries N.Y. state foresters have 

 discovered one Onondaga County 

 man who has an interesting water 

 power saw mill with which he does 

 custom sawing. When the power is 

 not needed for the sawmill he runs 

 either a grist mill, or a cider mill 

 with it. He also has a small electric 

 light plant which is operated by the 

 same power. The mill has been in 

 operation for more than twenty-five 

 years. Full and profitable utiliza- 

 tion of the woodlot products will be 

 assured only when the State is dotted 

 with these "many-purpose" mills 

 which were so common in former 

 days. Cooperative mills are suggest- 

 ed as a good financial move in New 

 York farming communities. — N. Y.
