Capt. Jack MGCatfrey, the well known
river man, reports that this has been the
best season in the rafting business in
twenty years. In speaking of the differ
ence between II floating raft and a raft
made up for towing. the captain says that
the RATS now are from go to 900 feet
wide and 800 feet long-averaging 500
900 feet once in while 1000 900 feet,
but the logs were big. A floating lumber
raft would comprise Zoo, 600 to 1, 800
600 feet; now We take 100000 to 3,O00,.
600 feet of lumber in n single tow. Now
the average time from Reeds Landing to
Rock Island, 2l3 miles, is six days with
lumber or logs-the round trip. In the
floating era it was twelve days. The trir
from Reeds Landing to St Louis, J4j
miles, is now made in twelve days, while
with floaters it used to take from twenty
to twenty-five days. There is thus say,
ing of just about half the time, not tC
speak of the additional comfort and con-
venience of the raftsmen.

Won the Wager.

The other day two of the most popular
and local sport We're talking over roller
skating in the corridor of a hotel. One
of the conductors had never had any ex,
perience on the festive rollers. and the
local sport, who considered himself quite
proficient in the art, which the American
people--or large portion of them have
gone daft over, in a joCu'ar way
said he believed he could skate
five times around the Rock ISL
and rink, while the "con' was making it
once. This sort of aggravated the ICON, .
and he said he could not, whercupon the
sport, to make things interesting, bet the
econ" V he could make good his asser>
ton. The ICON" accepted and the other
conductor made him similar wager,
which was also covered They went
down to the rink and the conductor and
sport put all manner Of jobs up on the
inexperienced "con.' they fixed the skates
so they would slip off easily, but to no
avail, for the awkward ICON" fairly flew
when he got started, and it is said made
the sport hump himself to keep from
being left out altogether, and trumph>
antly walked off with the stake. The
other conductors keep shy of him now
when they talk about roller racing.
