All the principal rivers in the State En-.
cepi the X 'ck penetrate into the famous
pine region, and fnr hundreds of miles
along these larger streams and their
smaller tributaries the inhabitants of the
towns, cities, and villages have their Pc
cuniary interests directly or remotely
interviewer with some phase of the lum-
bering business. Consequently, every
body is in high feather "when the logs
come down." and that trite phrase has
got to be an adage of more significance
than most people imagine. 1t means en-
ployment for thousands of industrious
poor people whose only means of subsist-
ence is their daily bread; it means the
busy hum of mills that have been idle
for six months; it means payment for
supplies furnished and work done in the
past; and it means quickening of the
sluggish pulse Va tiduc huu Ill IuVISOIat-

Chippewa, Black, st. Croix, Menominee,
Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Wolf, Fox, Oconto,
Peshtigo, and their tributaries, the in
formation is to the effect that the present
rise is abundant, and that millions and
millions of logs are already securely
fixed in the booms, or are already we'll
on their way down stream on successful
drive. Owing to the absence of snow
last winter, the crop of'logs was lighter
than has been cut in twenty years, and
general rise in all the streams WAS the only
thing that could possibly keep dozens
Of enterprisipg men out Of bankruptcy.
1t is also very extraordinary event to
see June flood come in A pril and this is
benefit of no slight importance to mill
men and lumbermen in protracting the
season fully a month and half. and
putting the extension Of time at the end -
where it will do the most good.
The people Of Wisconsin have reason
to congratulate themselves upon the
fine prospect ahead for successful sea.
