TAYLOR'S FALLS, Mimi, June 23.-The
already famous log jam, which formed i'll

source Of pleasure to some as veXation and

come from every direction to see this

lumbermen; and when it is in motion and
winding its serpentine shape around the
rocks and turns in the river, the people be-
come frantic with excitement, crowd for
ward to the edges of the bluffs, and shout
and yell until tears run down their cheeks,
or they drop down from sheer eXhaus-
ton. A jam of such magnitude
necessarily entails great expense.
and thorough organization OF the
forces employed to break it. AS there are
upwards of hundred owners of the logs,
in amounts ranging from 800, 900 feet to
20, COO, 600 or more, a meeting OF those IN
tereSted was held and an organization per-
fercted by the election of board of di-
rectOrs, with James O'Brien as president,
Al Tozer superintendent and a secretary
and treasury. Owners of logs will be as
sessed pro rata to bear the expense. which
averages from S700 to $500 per day. At
present there are three steamboats, Juggling

100 men and sixteen horses. The
