men were compelled TO discharge many
OF the knights OF the peavy, which of
course will be for n short time only as
the present great volume Of water can
not last any great length of time, not
possibly until all OF the logs are out and
therefore the lumbermen will humble
themselves TO the extent OF asking the
drivers TO assume their places on the
rushing waters. THE DIAMOND DRILL
has gone 20 considerable expense and
exact representation OF n river driver ut
work. At present there are many "log
Sailors" az they are called, in town.
Though garbed in rough clothing with
high top boots, grizzly bearded and skins
burned brown by the reflection OF the
suns rays on the water, they are n jolly,
goou-natured, whole-souled and generous

''When the spring rains come and the
streams rises TO the tops Of it's borders,
the drivers--men Of a lusty, muscular,
active class--armed with spikes and
pcavies, cast the logs into the wild, surg
ing, foaming waters, and start them on
their Journey to the saw-mill. The skill
and courage with which these men brave
the dangers OF the flood apd handle the
logs is "a marvel 20 all who see them

which came down, headed squarely for
the cavity, and made a centre bull's-eye,
was driven bodily into the hole dis
tance OF over twelve feet For hours the
logs continued 20 come over the falls SO
rapidly that il was impossible for the
gang Of men below, though aided by the
powerful current, To pass them on down
the stream. The logs gathered in the
narrow gorge, piling on top oil one an
other, and locking themselves in mighty
embrace with the rocky walls forming the
river banks: i'm short, there occurred what
is known in the vernacnlar 81 the logger
as jam The men struggled TO release
the key-pieces, but in vain. Logs con-
tiEued TO colne over the falls by scores
and by hundreds, driven by the fury Of
the water from above, and there was no
means OF checking them they must con-
tinue To come until the last log i'm the
drive had descended. The logs below,
acting as dam, raised the stage of water
all around, so that each new arrival was
carried on to, but not over, those already
in the jam, and the whole channel OF the
river was finally filed far above the top
OF the falls with logs, piled on one an
other in the most dire disorder, 10 a
height Of twenty-five or thirty feet The
falls were completely hidden from view,
and only by the war of the waters as
they poured through this vast labyrinth
could their location bc dehnitly aseer-
tanned. And so the drive WAS, in the
lingo Of the craft, hung up, and there WAS
nothing for the men to do but wait. In
a few days, the food ran OFF and the
stream shrank to its normal summer
stage. Then team of heavy draft
horses and three hundred feet OF rope
were procured, and the ecrew went To work
ON the lower end of the jam, TO break IL
up by pulling out n log at n time. The
work of clearing out this jam was con
tinued night and day, with two crews,
and yet it took nearly u whole week, at
a cost of several hundred dollars. to un-

the subject Of this brief sketch, was born

where he resided until eight years since
when he came with his father, Capt.
Richard Lowry, TO the Upper Peninsular

i'm Pennsylvania and in this state until
three years since when he went TO work
i'm the mines, first at Ironwood then alter
where hc remained until about fonr
weeks ago when being stricken down v ti
fever he was taken To the hospital at
Metropolitan to receive proper medical
attention. Ills death occurred May %.
He made brave fight with all the as
sistance possible in human shape but
death claimed him for his own. Natur-
ally OF kind and gentle disposition he
won many friends from among those by
whom he was surrounded, and at his un-
expected taking off there was but the one
sentiment ofdeep regret, that he soyoung
should be called hence TO be among hu-
man things no more, and sympathy Tor
his sorely bereaved parent and brothers.
He sleeps beside his mother at the GEM

The NORTHERNER supposed il had
perfected arrangements TO procure
complete returns from every township
in the county, but republicans felt 50
elated over the result that some of them
forgot To send IN reports in season for
use. However, we present tOlerably
full report, and it is safe To say that the
plurality in the county will not fall
much, if any short of eighteen hundred
The Courier, with which we made az,
rangementS to exchange reports, up to
six o'clock on Wednesday evening, had
received returns from but one single
township, except through the NORTH

however; it tried hard enough to pro
cure the news, but its democrat CORES

heart to advertise their Waterloo, anC

The political campaign that has just
closed has been one of the most impor-
tant and notable political struggles that
has ever occurred in the history of this
nation, as it has been one of the most
closely contested and hardest fought.
Every inch of vantage has been earn
estly disputed, and no argument has
been left untried To win votes to either
side of the great struggle. 1t has been
eminently IA campaign of ideas and,
when Invested of the political clap-trap
that has, to "a great extent, enveloped
and surrounded it, it will be seen to
have been really battle between two
Numerically opposing economic sys-
tens; the one the American system
which, while laying duty to provide
revenue for the government, would
ever keep i'm view the principle of pro-
lection of American labor, American
manufacture and American industry,
or, in other words, "A system that looks
first to protection and second to reve-
nue.; the other, the English system,
which loses sight entirely of the pro-
tective system and would lay the duty
i'm the direction of freetrade, making il
tariff for revenue only, or tariff
with as little incidental protection as
possible. The country has declared
emphatically i'm favor of the American
system and will not be apt very soon to

New York 10000 for Harrison.
Van Buren, County Rolls Up 1900 Plural
~ for Harrison. Luce and Burrows.

At thA present writing, it is alto
gether probable that the republicans
have carried every northern state with
the single exception of New Jersey
which, by the aid of prohibition votes,
was carried for CLEVELAND by about
5000 plurality. The democrats con
cede New York To HARRISON by about
10000 plurality, but claim the re-elec-
ton of HILL for governor Indiana and
Connecticut are claimed by both par
ties, with the probability largely in
favor of the republicans. 1t is alto
gether likely that The vote of the cleo
toral college will stand 800 for HARRI-
SON and 1872 for CLEVELAND; but, con
ceding all that the democrats claim,
HARRISON will have 207 electoral votes,
which is five more than is necessary to
elect him.
The next house of representatives is
claimed by the republicans by twenty
five majority.
Michigan is taken out of the list OF
doubtful states by plurality of 10000
and IA gain of at least two republican
congressman. LUCE is said to have run
behind HARRISON, but such is not the
case in this part of the state to any
appreciable extent.
Mr. BURROWS has carried every
county in his district and is reelected
by largely increased vote.
Van Buren, county elects the entire
republican ticket by from 800 to 1 500
majority, carrying every township in
the county. 1t was glorious victory
all along the line and presages many
years of future republican rule. The
country has declared most emphatically
against GROVER CLEVELAND, ROGEI
c. Mills and their freetrade policy.

ships in this county, emitting the major
