Brain.

The brain is an important organ
serving as it does to keep the head
from collapsing. Almost all styles of
doing the hair call for head of some
sort. Again, there is nothing like a
head to set OF a fine neck. Finally, we
should feel rather foolish without our
heads.

TIMBER IN RIVER BEDS.
Fortune Awaits the Inventor OF .
Method to Recover 1t.

Method to Recover II.
eff some scheme could be devised"
said saltwater (NIinn.) man, "by
which the sunken logs which fill the
beds of rivers and creeks in the log
ging sections of this country could only
be recovered, immense fortunes would
be made. Along the st. Croix waters it
is estimated that logs enough are i'm
bedded in the sand of river bottoms to
keep mills running for years. Under
present conditions the loss is total, for
no successful method has ever been de-
vised to effect this saving.
occasionally logs cut years ago are
forced by the washings of floods from
their sand beds and driven upon the
shores, where the action of sun and
wind dries them out sufficiently SO that
they will float down stream, but the
percentage of logs recovered is small,
and millions of dollars worth Of prop
erty is lost beyond recovery until some
enterprising genius invents machine
or process to recover the timber.
cat saltwater logs occasionally come
to the sorting booms bearing marks in
use half century ago, and when they
appear the old lumbermen grow remi-
niscent of men who have been long
forgotten, but who were important
operators in the pioneer logging days
of Wisconsin and Minnesota.
mo possible estimate can be made
of the amount of timber thus lost, but
lumbermen estimate that the rivers of
Wisconsin, in the value Of the logs
buried in their sands, have fortunes of
millions of dollars if the logs could be
recovered. Wisconsin has been one of
the big pine states, and your Chip
pewa, Wisconsin, st. Croix and Me-
nominee rivers and their tributaries
contain fortunes in sunken timber.
Strange as it may appear, the value
Of the timber is not lessened, even after
1t has been submerged for half or
quarter of century. Efforts have been
occasionally made to recover sunken
logs. At one time company was or
ganized at Saltwater to dredge streams
and thus recover some Of the timber,
but the plan did not work with any
great degree of success, this method
being found too expensive. Some one
will come along some day with plan,
and this immensely valuable product,
now lost, will be recovered. "-Milwau-
kee Sentinel.

In his annual report to the conven-
ton of the American Convention Of
Labor, President Gompers said:
much gleeful speculation has been
INDUCED i'm by our opponents in what
they are pleased to characterize as a
slump" in the organization of the
wage earners in the trade union move
ment of our country. They would
hail with joyous acclaim could they
record the total extinction and destruc-
ton of our movement. with them the
wish is father to the thought that they
might bring about what their chief
spokesman, Parry lately declared their
purpose to be, "the humiliation of la
Dor unions" They take JUNCTION to
their souls that the slight falling off in
membership i'm the trade union move
ment for a brief period within the past
year was the beginning of the decline
of the organized labor union move
ment of our country.
THE law of growth in organized la
Dor is as little understood by them as
it is by others who lack the experience
or who have not had the time, oppor-
tunity or inclination to inquire and
study. From the formation of the
first bona fde trade union movement
in modern times it has grown with
each era of industrial activity and re-
coded to some degree with each indus
trial depression, but with each recur-
ring revival in industry the degree of
growth has been greater, and with each
recurring period of depression it has
reCeded to a lesser degree than its i'm
mediate predecessors. All students of
our movement appreciate these facts
and count with them. The antago-
nists and the ignorant view these ma
tural economic changes with exulta-
ton or alarm.
The wage earners have come to rea-
lie that their only hope for the pro-
lection of their material interests in
our time, the only opportunities for
the promotion of these interests in the
future as we'll as the mainstay for the
rights and liberties in the present to
which they and those who may follow
are entitled. lie in unity, organization
and federation. And they have re-
cognized, too, to a greater extent than
heretofore that their cohesion during
period of industrial reaction is the
effectual check upon the material de-
terioration in their condition with all
that that implies. TO these reasons
and causes, together with great intelli-
gance and a fair conception of their
right, may be attributed the almost in
finitessimal decline in membership
within the recent past.
when it is borne i'm mind that the
trade union movement of America IS
comparatively speaking, still i'm It's in
fancy; when there is taken into con.
sideration t vast extent of territory
as well as the makeup of different
nationalities speaking foreign tongues,
the great development in industry and
the concentration of wealth, using its
powers to prevent or crush out organ
izatiOns; when all these things are
given due consideration, that we have
brought about any degree of frater-
nifty and homOgeneity should be count
