river, and contract with some suitable
man to get the logs afloat by rolling
situated that ordinarily high water
would not move them. The logs COM
prise between four and five million
feet at the lower ''hang-up," 100000
at the Silver creek slough, and 100000
on the Wisconsin shore just above
the Marine Mills ferry. Lumbermen
are not worrying particularly about the
present low water in the logging
streams, as the season is so unusually

much more unfavOrable than in former
seasons at this time of the year.
