a letter from William +. Curtis
dated at Rock Island appeared in the
Chicago ReSord-Herald yesterday. Ii
dealt with the lumber and claiming
interests and was, as Mr.. Curtis let
ters usually are, full of vital facts
concerning the important industries
on the upper Mississippi. With the
claiming industry and the manufac-
ture of buttons the people of this vi
cinity are more or less familiar, both
having recently grown into promi-
nence and having received consider
able attention at the hands of the
press. The numbering and rafting
business developed when the country
was newer, and while people gener-
ally have an idea of the manner in
which the lumber of which their
homes are built is cut from the for
est and taken to mill, there are many
points of interest that are not gen
orally understood. Mr.. Curtis in his
letter touches upon many of these.
The manner in which logs are cut
and tioated out into the river i'm the
early spring to be assorted and made
into RATS for their various owners is
told and the decline of the business
Is noted, 1000 men and 20 tow boats
being now employed to do the work
that twice those numbers were for
merly required to do. Then the letter
goes ON:
