Fortune Awaits the inventor OF =
Method 90 Recover II.
'Tf some scheme could be devised"
said saltwater Nfinn) man. by
which the sunken logs which ill 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 a machine
or process TO recover the timber.
AT saltwater logs occasionally come
to the sorting booms bearing marks in
use half a 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 il may appear, the value
OF the timber is not lessened. even after
It has been submerged for half or
quarter Of 4 century. Efforts have been
occasionally made TO recover sunken
logs at one time a company was or
ganized at Saltwater 10 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 a plan.
and this immensely valuable product
now lost. win be recovered. ."-AIilwau-

THE ISLE OF MOBILES.
A Famous Historic site, the CradI

A Famous Historic site, the Cradle
of saxon Liberty.
The isle Of Athelney, or the "lsle OF
nobles," as the name signifies. is one
Of the most famous OF historic sites.
A thousand years ago 1t was a low islet
covered with willows and alders and
surrounded by fens and oyertowing
marshes, altogether inaccessible except
by boats. There King Alfred sought
refuge with a swineherd, and there he
lay concealed from the invading Danes
for the space Of whole year. The re-
sort Of his chieftans TO this place
caused it TO be known as the isle Of
nobles." which may be regarded as the
cradle and stronghold Of Saxon liberty.
After Alfred regained the posscssio~
Of his throne be erected Benedictin,
abbey on this spot and endowed II
with all the lands In the Isle Of Athel-
ney." The monastery has entirely dis
appeared. but its site is marked by
stone pillar erected in 1901 by the own
er Of Athelney. The pillar bears this
inscription: "King Alfred the Great in
the year Of our Lord SO, having been
defeated by the Danes. fed for refuge
to the forest Of Athelney. where he lay
concealed from his enemies for the spell
of a whole year. He soon after regain
ed possession OF his throne. and in
grateful remembrance OF the protection
he had received under the favor Of
heaven he erected a monastery on this
spot and endowed it with all the lands
contained in the isle Of Athelney. To

Caring for the Hair

The hair should be combed. brushed
and aired before retiring for the night.
Hair health is assured by cleanliness.
thorough ventilation. letting the fresh
air blow through it once a day for half
an hour, and by proper brushing and
combing. Massage Of the scalp draws
the blood thereto and nourishes il.
The general health must. however, be
kept up to par to keep the hair in good
condition. Good hair depends not only
on good care but on a good condition
.of the entire nervous system. If the
nerves are all right, good blood is a
presupposable possession Of Fhe happy
person. AS your nerves are so is your
whole body. Sound nerves: sound
mind and body. Wrecked nervous sys-
TEN: wrecked body, and. perhaps
wrecked mind.
When badness threatens. wash the

Just For Women

In" but this one does not. Early-sown
sweet peas get chance to send theii
roots down into the cool soil before
the hot days OF the summer come on
The best method OF planting is the
trench system-a V-shaped excava-
tion about six inches deep. Scatter
the seed about an inch apart. along
the bottom OF this trench. and cover
with about an inch OF soil. which should
be pressed doYn well. As the plants
reach up, draw more of the soil thrown
out from the trench about the vines
and keep on doing this. as the plants
lengthen. until the trench is full. This
gives roots down beneath the surface
where there will always be moisture
and coolness-two very important
items in the culture Of this lovely
flower.
