SALTWATER, Mimi. June 4.-The St
CroiX boom shut down last night and will
not start up again until the current in the St.
Crox abates. Every tributary of the ST.
Croix is overlooking it's banks, and there is
a lurking suspicion that Saltwater will see
higher water within the coming week than
for several years past. No definite Informal
ton has been received from many localities
where Saltwater loggers are interested but
enough is known to indicate that many dams
have gone out and others are On the verge of
going. The drives have all started and some
of them have been scattered meadows
where there has been no water for many
years.
The water in Lake St. Crcix has risen near
ly two feet in twenty-four hours, and the
current is unusually strong. About 100000 feet
of logs broke loose from the Staples-At
pond and the island north Of the pontoan
bridge and came down against the pontoon
The bridge was opened and the logs were let
through. The lake was damned with logs to-
day and boats could not reach the levee from
below.
The remains of Ray Hall will be brought
here next Monday from Red Rock and the
funeral will be held here in the afternoon
l. The sad Intelligence CT the death of Will
lam McDougall has been telegraphed to- his
parents in New Brunswick, and no arrange
ments for the funeral will be made until they
are heard from.
