LOGS COME RIGHT ALONG.
kennebec Log Driving Co. Has Very
Successful Season.

The Kennebec Log Driving Co. has
had one of the most successful sea-
sons for the last 20 years. At the pres
ent time. every log that was cut dur
ing the last winter and what were held
up on the banks and in the streams on
account of water is now in the river,
and most of them below Waterville.
There is plenty of water in the river
at the present time and it is hoped that
by the end of two weeks all will have
reached their destination in the river.
The cut for the last winter was about
165. 100000 feet. AS lumber has been
very high during the last year, this
has been q most successful season for
the lumbermen.
1t is now too early TO estimate what
the cut will be for the coming winter.
BY the end of another month, the most
of the owners of timber lands will
have made their plans for the winters
work. At the present time it looks a.
if there would he as large a cut as
ever. Some Of the owners of the logs
are now piing them and soon all will
be at work on this. Should the market
demand it, many Of the mills will be
able to run during the frozen season,
as there is every indication of plenty
of water, which has been wanting dur
ing the last few seasons.
