The San Francisco call., 1904-12-04

An active figure darted down the
tail Of the first section. out over the
floating logs. seized Darrell by the
coat collar, and 80 burdened began des-
perately to scale the very face OF the
breaking jam.
Never was q more magnificent res
cue. The logs were rolling, falling,
diving against the laden man. He
climbed as over a treadmill, aytreadmill
whose speed was constantly increasing.
And when he finally gained the top it
was as the gap closed. splintering be-
meath him and the man he had saved.
1t is not IN the woodsman to be
demonstrative at any time, but here
was work demanding attention. With
out a pause for breath or congratula-
ton they turned to the necessity Of
the moment. The jam. the whole jam,
was moving at last. Jimmy Powers
ran ashore for the peavie. Roaring
Dick, like a demon incarnate, threw
himself into the work. Forty men at
tackled the jam at a dozen places. en-
couraging the movement, twisting
aside the timbers that threatened to
lock anew, directing a pigmy like the
titanic forces into the channel Of their
efficiency.
Roaring like wild cattle the logs
swept by, at first slowly, then with
the railroad rush OF the curbed freshet.
Men were everywhere. taking chances
like cowboys before the stampeded

herd And 30, out OF sight around the
lower bend. swept the front OF the
jam In a whirl Of glory. the rivermen
riding the great brown back OF the
creature they subdued, until at last,
with the slackening current the logs
foated by free, caroming with hollow
sound, one against the other. A half
dozen watchers. leaning statuesquely
on the shafts Of their peavies. watched
the ordered ranks pass by.
One by one the spectators departed
At last only myself and a brown faced
young man remained. He sat on a
stump. staring with sightless eyes into
vacancy. I did not venture TO dis
turb his thoughts
The sun dipped. A cool breeze OF
evening sucked I'D the river. Over
near the cook camp a big fire COM
menced to crackle by the drying
frames. At dusk the rivermen strag-
gled in from the down river trail
The brown faced young man arose
and went to meet them saw him
return in close conversation with Jim
my Powers. Before they reached US
he had turned away with gesture OF
farewell
Jimmy Powers stood looking after
him long after his form had disap-
peared and indeed. even after the
sound Of his wheels had died toward
town. AS 1 approached the riverman

face darkened with swift anger, and
giimpsed the fare OF an undying hate.
About 8 o'clock that afternoon Jim
my's prediction was fulfilled without
the slightest warning the jam pulled" :"
USUALLY certain premonitory cracks,
certain sinkings down, groanings for
ward. grumblings, shruggings and sui
len reluctant shiftings Of the logs give
opportunity for the men to assure their
safety.
The jam itself started with every in
dication Of meaning business, gained
momentum for hundred feet. and
then plugged to a standstill. The
break" was abortive.
Now we all had leisure to notice two
things. First, the movement had NOT
been Of the whole jam, but only of a
block or section Of 1t twenty rods or
so in extent. Thus between the mart
that had moved and the greater bull.
that had not stirred lay hundred feet
of open water! in which fioated a num-
Der of loose logs.
The second fact was that Dickv Dar-
rell had fallen into that open stretch OF
water and was in the act of swimming
toward one OF the floating logs. That
much we were given just time to an
preciate thoroughly. Then the other
section Of the jam rumbled and began
to break. Roaring Dick was caught
between two gigantic millstones, moy-
ing to crush him out OF sibht.

1 offered him a cigar, which he i'm
mediately substituted for his corncob
pipe. We sat at the root Of tree.
'Itn be a greatssight when that jam

You bet." he replied; but she's a
teaser. Even old Tim Shearer would
have a picnic to make out just where
the key logs are. We've started her
three times. but she's plugged tight
every trip. Likely to pull almost any
time"
We discussed various topics. Finally
I ventured

Yes" said Jimmy Powers dryly.
by the way, did you fellows ever

me In a hushed voice. That's Thorpe
Harry Thorpe. And do you know
what he said to me just now, me? He
told me he wanted me to work IN Camp
One next wtnter-Thorpe's One. And
he told me was the first man he ever

His breath caught with something
like sob.
1 had heard OF the man and OF his
methods. knew he had made it a
practice OF recruiting for his prize
camp only from the employees OF his
other camps; that. as Jimmy said. he
never hired straight into One" I had
heard, too, OF his reputation among his

pressed the volume of logs packed
closely in an apparently inextricable
tangle as far as the eye could reach.
A man who was near informed me
that the tail was good three miles
up stream.
My eye ranged over the men and
finally rested on Dicky Darrell. He
was standing on the slanting end OF
an upheaved log, dominating the
scene. His little. triangular face. with
the accents OF the ouadrilateral eye
brows. was pale with the blaze of his
energy, and his chipmunk eyes seemed
TO flame with a dynamite vehemence
that caused those on whom their
glance fell to jump as though they
had been touched with a hot poker.

At noon the men came ashore for
dinner. I paid a quarter into the

fed. After the meal I approached my
acquaintance of the year before.
"Hullo. Powers!" I greeted him. "I

FRANKLIN BROS.

The length of time that this we'll

fore the public renders comment upon

work. and yet our purpose to present
a complete pen picture of the CONNER
cial facilities of Harrington requires
lis to speak of the Franklin Bros. in
more than Il passing manner. The
present high reputation borne by the

to the belief that well made goods
would make their own markets and
sell themselves on their merits. The
factories. consisting of basket mill, keg
slaves mill and planning mill. occupy a
space of over $1,000 square feet, the
whole operated by T0-H. Z. engine

are built and conducted on modern
lines. They manufacture boxes. bas-
kets and keg slaves. The business was
established twenty-five years ago by

growth since its inception and the
unexcclled quality of the goods manu-
factured speak. volumes for their bust
ness sagacity.
