promises to be the lightest this coming
winter for many years. Many lumber
men will only bank what logs they had
left over on their sideways from last

winters breaking up rather early and
the great number of logs skidded which
were injured by the fires of last season.
On Hay creek, a branch of the east

a World-Beater in Nutbreaker.
T~rempealeau, Wis, Oct. 26.-It may
not be generally known but it is neverthe-
less a fact, that Trempealeau has one
of the fastest trotting horses in the
country, and it is only a question of q
short time when this horse will rank
among the big ones. The horse in ques-
ton is Nutbreaker, owned by Charles
Veitch, who resides on Sixth street. A
few days ago this horse was driven on
the Neumister track at La Crosse in the
fast time of 2:1O fat, and even then was
pulled up on the stretch. Con Kelly,
his driver, only wished to send him for a
2:15 mile, but having no watch did not
know the time Nutbreaker was making.
And stranger still is the fact that the
horse has not yet, in race course par
lance, received a mark. Nutbreaker will
be campaigned mex season.
