Have a
Fearful
Experience
In HCleb's
Falls

River driving In Maine Is q perilous
vocation under the best conditions, but
when logs jam and falls are to be run
the dangers to be met are enough to
appall even the veterans OF the drive.
Recently crew was at work with
drive on hard set,>of falls known
among the river men OF northern Maine
as Holeb's falls. This section OF rough
water Is three-Quarters OF a mile long,
and In 1t there are three turns and as
many pitches" The two upper drops
can be run by boats at the present sea-
son, but the lower and longest drop is
filled with jagged rocks that toss bil-
lows high in tho air and make the pas
sage of a boat next to impossible.
The other day the crew OF men at
work on Holeb's fails was called upon 10
break bad jam at the entrance to the
lower pitch. The jam was formed in
the cerfter II the stream against a great
bQwider and could not be reached from
shore. II was decided that one of the
boats should be brought down from the
quiet water above the Falls and used in
placing the dynamite under the logs.
The men who had charge OF the boat
were notified and at once started to run
the two upper pitches. The boat con-
tained Michael and Thomas Brennan.
Joseph Dulac and Peter Paadis, the
Inter well known as ''Pete Paragee"
all along the river. The two upper
pitches were successfully taken, and
the boat swung into the eddy above the
jam.
Often a jam OF more than 100 logs
will go through that lower pitch with
out more than a dozen logs being in
sight and these only when they struck
the great rocks and were thrown In the
air by the pressure. Old Holeb had
claimed many victims in the years that
numbering had been carried on in that
