are hung up in this stream, the first time in five
years, Logs on Bad River are in bad shape, and,
while they had regular food in the Cass, and
iat8e proportion Of the logs will come out Of

the country, outside tho river banks, for miles

1all under last year, and the Bad River will do
but little It any better.
