offered, not even that of promotion,
which sometimes spurs the soldier on to
valorous deeds. The respect and admira-
tion of his comrades, often unexpressed,
is the only possible reward if he succeeds.
A rope is tied around the waist of the
volunteer, and grabbing an AK or a
peavey he climbs out on the face of the
pile, which groans and creaks ominous-
ly as the To- ) thunder down on the bar
ricade that stops their progress. Singing
out the mischievous key log, he attacks
it. First ho tries to wrench it from its
place with the peavey, n stout ash lever
with an iron cant dog on the end.
But the peavey fails. Then he tries
the ax. With quick, firm, but cautious
strokes he cnts away the very foundation
on which his feet rest Tho crew ON the
shore watch The work narrowly.
"Look out There she comes!'
The jam has broken
With II 4acing roar the imprisoned
waters break through the Gup and hurl
the great lops before them as if they
Were chips. Throwing away his aX, the
daring logger makes desperate dash for
the shore. Now mass of logs topp'e
over, and it seems as if ho must be buried
beneath their weight. But, no; he
dodges out from under them just in
time.

ful lenp he alights on big log that is
plunging and diving in the foam. He
rides it for n moment and just as it il
about to plunge again into the stream
he jumps to another. A few more leaps
and he is safe. A hearty shout goes up
from the men who drag him ashore,
The jam is broken, and the man who
did tho WORK will figure as the hero for
months aftt.. Such are some of the
perils of log driver'u life

ming to widen out. They know what
that means we'll enough.
"Tell the boss there's jam ahead"
The word is passed on until it reaches
the captain of the drive. He at once
gathers up a picked crew of his best
men and starts off down stream as fast
as possible, the men jumping from log
to log and running over the moving
surface as handily as newsboys dodging
cable cars in a crowded street.
A log jam is sight worth seeing, but
one which the river driver does not care
to witness. 1t happens when two or
nore logs get tangled up with the shore
and each ether in such a way as to block
the stream. Then there is trouble. Like
SO many sheep the logs come tumbling
on, each one adding to the strength of
the dam. Those that cannot plunge over
the barrier plow their way under as far
as they can get, and in a short time the
stream is completely filed mp, making
in few moments dam as effsctual as
dozen men could construct in a week.
When the captain Of the drive and his
crew arrive, they take hasty view of
the situation and at once get to work,
for the logs are pilinp up higher and
higher every moment. The practiced
eye Of the captain soon picks ont the
logs which have done all the mischief,
although to the uninitiated there is
nothing but confused mass Of timber.
The key log is generally located in
the center of the pile. To get that log
out or to chop it to pieces is all that is
required to break the jam.
Then comes the call for volunteer.
This is thrilling moment. A verita.
BILE hero Is wanted. Perhaps you smile.
You wouldn't if you had once witnessed
such scene and looked Mt the serious
faces Of the men who are seemingly care
less Of their lives. They know what is
the risk that the man must take who
goes ont on the front of that jam and re-
leases the mighty forces that are behind
it.
There is q moments hesitation, and
then broad shouldered logger steps
forward with u look Of grim determine
tion on his face. He has coolly decided
to risk his life. There is no inducement

and crashing of ice into the stream. By
/ the time this is done there comes big
rain or thuw, and away the logs rush
down stream with the mad waters.
Then comes the river driver.
A picturesque figure he is in his long.
stout boots. his heavy flannel shirt
sleeves rolled up on his brawny arms,
and grasping his formidable peavey or
his 16 foot pike pole. He brings to his
work not only muscle and Drawn, but
the courage of crusader, the skill Of n
tight rope walker and perfect indifPor-
ence to cold, hunger and hardships Of
every kind.
From the headwaters of the stream
where the logs begin their journey down
to some large body of water where they
are collected into booms the log driver
must follow them, guiding them along
with skillful jabs from his pike, shov-
ing them from sand bars where they have
stranded and breaking them loose when
they have become entangled in jam,
Perhaps il is 100 miles from the bank
ing ground where they start to the lake
or river where wait the tugs and boon's
of the booming company which is to
take charge Of them for tho remainder
of their journey to the mill. The driver
travels the whole of this distance in the
very midst Of tine foaming waters with
no mere substantial craft under him
than green log. 1t may well be called
a perilous business. A man unskilled in
the knack of log driving would keep
out of the icy water just about minute.
Nothing more unstable than a small
floating log can be imagined. Every turn
of the current gives it an additional ro-
tary motion, and every time it is struck
by another log the motion changes.
But the river driver is just as much
at homo and at his ease in the midst of
a moving mass of plunging, whirling
logs as he would be on city pavement.
In the thick soles of his big boots are
stuck dozens of sharp brads-calks, he
calls them-which stick into the log and
keep his feet from slipping. His long,
slender pike he uses as a balancing pole
in ticklish places, but he would scorn to
acknowledge that it served him any 9TH
or purpose than to shove the logs about
hke seen TWO river drivers get ON one
small log and try to roll each other off,
and that when the water was only just
above freezing point.
But there is little time for this sort of
fun while this drive is ON. The logs seem
to be about as stubborn to drive as a
drove Of pigs. They are always getting
hung mp Oh snags, rocks and bars, and
where one sticks dozen more are sure
to follow. The stragglers have to be
showed of and made to take their place
in the procession that moves rapidly
along with the current.
Sometimes the drivers notice that the
movement is becoming more and more
sluggish and that the stream is begin.
