Adventurous Adirondack Men Risk
Life Every spring.

From the New York Commercial Advcr.iser.)
Utica, y. H.-Hundreds of thousands of
logs are piled along the lakes and streams
in the Great North Woods waiting for
the spring flood to move them down to
the mills. The dangerous work of the
loSdriverS will soon commence. and then
for a month these men will scarcely be
allowed an opportunity for rest. L was
pretty active at driving logs back in the
'70s." says ID. Frank Sperry. Of Old Forge,

Beaver River as being the hottest stream
that ran out of the woods. Norcross &
Sanders began running logs on the river

there. Five men were drowned last year.
