Kennebec Drives.

The drives are getting along swim

River drive will be out, this, Thursday
night, with about 100000 only, the
property of the Berlin Mills Co., left
back above Long Falls. The cut on
Dead River was $4,000, 900 in round
numbers. The full cut on the Kennebec
this season was good plump 900 600
perhaps million or two more than that.
The estimates made earlier of 125 to 1876
million feet, were excessive as they are
apt to be. This 100000 includes
about 100000 that Bradstreet of South
Gardiner is transferring from Penobscot
waters by the endless chain and sluicing
arrangements, constructed some years
ago for the purpose of transferring logs
from Penobscot to kennebec waters
when found desirable to do 80. A
100000 900 jam was reported Monday,
below Indian Pond in the Kennebec on
Turtles island, which it was expected
then would take several days to break.
The logs will all come along this season
except the five million above Long Falls
IN Dead River.
