A crew of men has been engaged the
past few days in picking up the dead
heads" above the guard lock of which
there are quite number. The logs be-
long to the Alexander Stewart Lumber
Co. and after taken out of the water will
be dried for while on the river bank
and then floated down to the mill. We
understand that the crew making the
log drive on the Wisconsin this summer
has been picking up everything along
the banks in the shape of logs, and on
the main drive other crews have been
cleaning all the rapids of sunken logs.
There was a time when lumbermen
paid no attention to dead heads but
now when pine is becoming scarcer
each year they are all picked up and run
through saw mill. That class of logs
makes the finest kind of lumber, for
the water has soaked ont all the sap
Thousands of feet of logs are sunk
along the Wisconsin river each year,
especially So if the water is too low for
driving purposes.
One of the brightest and most anus
ing of the new comedies of the theatri-
cal year is "Tilly Olson" a Swedish
American dialect play. The principal
role is that of young Swedish girl, a
sort of Scandinavian Sis Hopkins an
entirely new and novel stage role
There have been stage heroes of the
Swedish-Ameriean type before but this,
it is beloved, is the first instance that
the playwright has constructed a drama
in which the leading role is that of
young girl of Swedish parentage. The
part is in no sense . parody but a skill
ful piece of character study, true to
nature and with no exaggeration. The
story is melodramatic at times and
there are some stirring episodes woven
into the play. The part of lilly win be
played by Miss Gertrude Swiggett, a
vivacious and eccentric Coincidence of
