inches and San Luis Obispo 12S5 inches. This

TIMBER IN RIVER BEDS.
Fortune Awaits the Inventor OF
Method 10 Recover It


Method to Recover 1t.
"Tf some scheme could be devised"
said a Saltwater Niinn.) man, ''by
which the sunken logs which fill the
beds of rivers and creeks in the log
aing sections of this country could only
be recovered, immense fortunes would
be made. Along the st. Croix waters II
is estimated that logs enough are inn
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.
"At 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 or
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 a century. Efforts have been
occasionally made to recover sunken
logs. At one time a 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
