BEATING STREET CAR COMPANY
How Some People Manage to Get
Tickets Free

One of the hardest worked CRAFTS in
Wichita IS beating the street car COM
pany. There are grown men in Wichita
who, if they want to go anywhere from
the corner of Main and Douglas, will
stand around till a crowd gets off a car
to get transfer tickets. They walk up
by the car, join the crowd and rush up
to the transfer man. In this way they
get tickets for a ride without giving up
any money. This is done every day. On
Monday six men, all in one bunch, got
tickets this way.

LOG JAMS.
The Force They Exert and How They
Are Broken Up.

The Force They Exert and How They
Are Broken Up.
"A log Jam IS one Of the most for
midable problems we have to encoun-
ter in our line of business" said a Mis-
sissippi lumbernlan. How they begin
is difficult to explain: y few dozen
logs will become wedged for an instant
In q narrow part of stream and IN
less time than it takes me to tell 1t
hundreds Of others will come swoopinG
down and pack themselves in an intrl-
cate, close knit span, reaching from
bank to bank, and almost as solid as
q rock. The force they exert is some
thing marvellous. During one jam in
my section l saw lot Of logs plunge
under the edge Of the blockade, and a
few seconds later they pushed their
way up through the very middle Of
the pack. tossing timbers as big
around as n mans waist into the air
like so many toothpicks. The noise
they made as they drove through the
mass was simply deafenlng. 1t sound
ed as If the solid earth was being torn
up by it's foundations. When the logs
passed under the jam, they were evil
dently caught in such q way as to
still further obStruct the imprisoned
stream and were hurled upward with
oil the irresistible energy Of millions of
gallons Of rushing water.
"The breaking Of 4 jam is a very
ticklish operation and seems to be
largely matter Of instinct with old
rivernen. The lines and angles of
strain in such a blockade are so COM
plicated that the best engineer in the
world is apt to so wrong in indicating
the proper point of attack. \ veteran
lumherman, on the contrary, will often
take long look at the mass and then
point out the key log The key log
is the timber on which the strain cen
ters, and when it is blown out or pried
out, the pack, in almost every instance,
will break up Of itself. had an old
fellow in my employ a few years ago
who could locate a key log Zine times
out os ten. He couldn't read or write,
knew nothing about engineering and
was unable to explain how he arrived
at his conclusions. he said 1t came
