and "a musicians, are expected III
about six weeks. Ii will be IA pleas
ing feature to hear the band play for
guard mounting in the morning and
dress parade in the evening. They al
so practice in mounted drilling and
playing. A flagstaff 100 feet high will
be erected as soon as it arrives, and
will fly the national colors. The roads
and sidewalks are completed so the
people can drive about the grounds
without the least inconvenience. Work
on the grounds will begin later, and
Fort Ethan Allen will soon be place
to bring pride to the hearts of the peo-
pie in the surrounding towns. Essex
Junction, being only two miles dis

fits, being well equipped TO cope with
anything that may arise in the way of
accommodations. We hope to see

Is now being made from Mckenzie and
Mohawk rivers, says the Journal. It
consists all told of nearly 100000 feet
of logs, and the real work Of driving
was commenced at the Dodson place,
% miles east of Eugene, last Monday.
For 10 miles along the Mckenzie be-
low the starting point logs have been
rolled In, and the river is literally
choked with floating timber.
Eighteen or 20 men started In last
Monday to wade down the Nc.
Ksnzie and keep this immensd drive
floating. Two teams are employed
to aid in getting big logs over shallow
places Mr.. William Bogart Of Coburg
Is foreman Of the drive, and it will
probably be 40 or so days work to
get all the logs in the mill pond at
Coburg. Ordinary workmen or driv-
ers only get 50 day this year whereas
they formerly got So a day. Many
more men have applied this year than
could be given places, notwithstand-
ing the fact that wages are low and
the work of wading in the Mckenzie
is dangerous and very laborious.
