THE suit which has for some time

sidered as settled. 1t will be remember
ed that the action was begun by the town
mentioned for the purpose of reviewing
and setting aside the proceedings of the
tax commissioners who we're appointed
few years ago. The decision of the
Circuit Court in the matter was unfavor-
able to the county, but on appeal to the
Supreme Court the action of the lower
lower court was reversed. Recently the
attorneys for the town made motion
for a rehearing of the matter in the
Supreme Court, but the motion has been
denied.

DREDGING.

The Milwaukee Wisconsin says the
question of having dredging of the Mil
waukee River done by the city instead
of by contract is being discussed in
official circles. If the city does the work
it will necessitate the purchase of
dredge, tug and mud scows. If Milwau-
waukee will profit by the experience of
other places which tried dredging in the
manner approved by the Evening Wis
consin, no money will be expended In
purchasing dredging outfit. The city
of Man1towoc tried the experiment and
found it so very costly that it could not
be induced to repeat it. The dredge lay
up the river rotting in idleness until it
was purchased by private parties, and
put in repair. Then the city did some
dredging paying only for the work done,
and nothing for repairs and labor. Any
corporation which owns dredge must
go into the business in a permanent way
or the apparatus will prove white
elephant. Sheboygan had an experience
similar to that of Manitowoc, and even
the larger cities have found city work in
this direction Improbable and abandon
ed it satisfied that the more economical
way is to let the work on contract.
Buffalo, Toledo and Detroit could bear
testimony to this fact as they have
demonstrated its truth by experience.
1t is estimated by competent persons
that property of this character loses from
II to Is per cent Of its value annually by
the simple lapse of time and in city work
there are always charges of jobbery and
corruption. Besides it is never prose-
cuted with such vigor as by contractor.
A municipality never gets anything done
cheaply.

DANGEROUS Reduction.

The last Congress reduced the
rate Of postage to two cents, but It
also made . sweeping reduction IN
the salaries Of about two-thirds OF
the Postmasters in the United
States. It reduced the salaries OF
AZ, 600 Offices from $1,000 . year
down to 81, 400. Further than that,
as if this was not enough, the law
cut off commissions on all money
orders. which amounts to at least
800 q year more. Thus the reduc-
ton amounts to $500 year or $50
= month-an amount much toe
great, if the Department expects to
have faithful, efficient men to At
tend to the Offices. It is fact, and
ought to be known to Congress
men, that cheap salaries gets only
cheap men. who are dear at any
price. Austin Reveille.

The Log Drive.


Taking the host of logs down the
river in 4 "driye' il the most pietui-
esque as well as most perilous exper=
fence of the lumberman's lot. Tumbled
in the headwaters from the bank or
kept back by booms from descending
with the ice, the logs fill the stream
four or five deep for several miles.
Finally the booms are loosed and the
long column moves. The effect of the
great mass in motion is indescribably
grand. The whole river takes on the
likeness Of a writhing snake. Some
logs forced upward from below stand
for a moment on end, then fall over
with crash, others are shot up on.
shore to remain chung up till the
next flood. Anon perhaps the whole
mass at some corner of the stream jams
in long chaotic procession, reaching
as far up stream as one can see. The
half-dozen or more drivers who pilot the
log tlotilla are men whose lives have
been passed in their dangerous calling,
gifted with wonderful sureness of foot
and quickness of hand. With their
spiked boots they run about as freely on
the moving mass as men ON common
ground. Their pevies and pike poles are
in use every instant, here to start a
stranded wood giant, there to snatch
out a recusant log that threatens a jam,
everywhere to keep the surging, pom
derous, sinuous snake moving down and
onward. When at last comes the inc
vitable jam, the river drivers skill is
put to its sulSemest test. With an un-
erIing skill that smacks of instinct, his
eye detects the ''key" log that holds the
drive in check. Without fear he ESSAYS
the dangerous feat of snatching away
this key, nor, with all his quickness,
does he always escape the laundering
mass that PUSHES down when the key is
loosad. These river drivers, who are
class by themselves, get while at work
$3.50 a day and board-a slight enough
compensation for the terrible peril and
the worse exposure to icy waters which
brings the large majority TO rheumatic
complaints and an early grave. AT the
mouth of the river, after journey of
several weeks, during which the drivers
either camp on shore or seek shelter in
the occasional farmhouses, the log pro-
cession reaches its destination. The
logs are sorted out by their marks,
RATED into long rows held together
by ropes, and towed to the great mills
to be sawed. r. Cor. NJ Y Post
