derrick was yesterday brought to the barge
Of rock sunk while the Cleon was taking it to

rise in the river above has helped out number
ot concerns some Of which had contracts to I'LL

contractors, 10000 Of them being stranded ND
the river. They are pushing them down rapidly
1t was supposed that the high water in the
Chippewa, by allowing the logs to get down and
thus fill the contracts with the mills down the
Mississippi, would be injurious to the log inter

having logs on the St. Croix 1t appears the
height of the water so great that the logs
have become scattered all over the valley of the
Chippewa and thousands of logs will never be re-
covered. Then as the water recedes the boom

mills also on that river we learn viii shut down
