A cloud of water sprang up, strangely
beautiful. After q moment the great
brown logs rose suddenly to the sur
face from below, one after the other,
like levathans of the deep.
Thorpe and Tim Shearer nearly al.
ways slept in dog tent at the rear,
though occasionally they passed the
night at Dam Two. where Bryan Mo
loney and his crew were already en-.
gagged in sluicing the logs through the
shoot.
The affair was simple enough Long
booms arranged in the form of an
open V guided the drive to the sluice
gate. through which smooth apron
of water rushed to turmoil in an eddy
ing pool below. Two men tramped
steadily backward and forward on the
booms. urging the logs forward by
means of long pike poles to where the
suction could seize them. Below the
dam the push Of the sluce water
forced them several miles down stream.
where the rest of Bryan Moloney's
crew took them in charge.
Thus through the wide gate nearly
three quarters of million feet an
hour could be run. and at length the
last of the logs drifted into the wide
dam pool. The rear had arrived at
Dam Two. and Thorpe congratulated
himself that one stage of his journey
had been completed.

The dams were first run at full
speed and then shut down. Hardly Il
drop of water flowed in the bed of the
stream. The crews set laboriously TO
work to pull and roll the logs out in
such fiat fashion that a head of water
should send them out.

| E~IHE rear had been tenting at the
dam for two days and was
Il about ready to break camp
- when Jimmy Powers swung
across the trail to tell them of the big
jam.
Ten miles along the river bed the
stream dropped over little half falls
into narrow, rocky gorge. 1t was al
ways an anxious spot for river drivers.
! The plunglng of the logs head-on over
| the fall had so Gouged out the soft rock
| below that an eddy of great power had
formed in the basin. Here, in spite of
all efforts, the jam had formed. The
bed was completely filled. far above
the level of the falls. by tangle that
defied the jam crews best efforts.
The rear 1T once took the trail down
the river. Thorpe and Shearer and
Scotty Parsons looked over the ground.
Without delay the entire crew was
set to work. Nearly hundred men
can pick great many logs in the
course Of day Several times the jam
started. but always plugged before
the motion had become irresistible.
Wen have to shoot" Shearer re-
luctantly decided.
The men were withdrawn. Scotty

and trimmed 1t. Big Junko thawed his
dynamite at little fire, opening the
ends of the packages in order that the
steam generated might escape. When

The men had continually to keep alert.
for at any moment they were called
upon to exercise their best judgment
and quickness to keep from being car
ried downward with the rush of the
logs. Not infrequently frowning
sheer wall of forty feet would hesitate
ON the brink Of plunge. Then Shearer
himself proved his right to the title of
river man.
Shearcr wore calks nearly an inch
in length. He had been known to ride
ten miles without shifting his feet on a
log SO small that he could carry it
without difficulty. For cool nerve he
was uneXcelled.
II don't need you boys here any lon,
ger" he said quietly.
When the men had all withdrawn he
walked confidently under the front Of
the rOllway. glancing with practiced
eye at the perpendicular wall of logs
over him. Then as n man prizes jack.
straws he clampcd his peavey and
tugged sharply. At once the rollway

should have ceased to move. History
stated that Shearer had never lost a
man on the river simply and solely be-
cause he invariably took the dangerous
tasks upon himself.
In three days the rolways were bro

the rear.
For this purpose Billy Camp, the
cook, had loaded his cook stove. 4 guam

long sweeps to direct its course. The
craft was perhaps forty feet long, but
rather narrow. in order that it might
pass easily through the shoot of a dam.
1t was called the "wanigan."
The huge. unwieldy craft from that
moment was to become possessed OF

rapids it would bump, smashing obst-
nately against powders. against the
branches of the stream side 1t would

crew at the ropes end, while they tried
vainly to snub it against successfully
uprooted trees and stumps. When at
last the wanigan was moored fast for
the night-usually mile or so below
the spot planned-Billy Camp pushed
back his battered old brown derby hat,
the badge of his office, with d sigh Of
relief. To be sure, he and his men had
still to cut wood, construct cooking
and camp fires, pitch tents, snip browse

loosen them from the bed of the
stream. He was a big man, this. as

pKlsoN FOR ANEx.pREAcHER.
J. f. COrdOva Convicted of Wife
Abandonment and Assault and
Battery on His Wife.

New Brunswick, N. j., March 16.-J.
F. Cordova, former pastor of Metho-
dist church in South River, and who
Tuesday was convicted of abandoning
his wife and children, was Wednesday
Dund guilty of ass ult and battery iron
his wife. Mrs. Cordova testified against
her husband, declaring that in April
last they got into a quarrel over a
letter which he had received from Julia
Bovine, with whom he twice eloped, and
that Cordova bombarded her with a
drinking glass, cake pan and earthen-
ware dish hut that his aim was so bad
that only the cake pan struck her.
Cordova said there had hardly been a
month in the 10 years in which he and
his wife had not quarreled, that on the
day when he threw the kitchen uten-
sils at her she had aggravated him by
calling Miss Bovine bad name.
Under the two convictions Cordova
may be sentenced to two years in pris-
on. Miss Bovine, who has been held in
jail as witness and who has refused
to accept bail, will be allowed to go to
the home of her father.

A. E. Martin who recently opened !
real estate ofics over TownseDd''
drug store dropped 10 this morning.
He tells the REFLECTOR that his ads
in our columns have had far greater
results than even he anticipated. His
stenographer and himself have been
kept quite busy with the listing am
locating Of Abilene town property
He has also several apparently bona
fids buyers on the outlook for both
residence and other property.
All this preparatory work he says
has been done for him BY the very
moderate advertising be has given to
the local press. MIR. Martin appears
to have quite up-to.date ideas about
the real estate business. He says,
for instance, that he cannot see any
way to do successful realty business
except to avail himself Of the drag
net Of the public press for the purPo'e
OF catching boththS buyer and the
seller aud by SO doing be can stay
mostly in bis own Office and only such
customers as REALLY DO want to buy
or sell will take up his already we'll
occupied time.
He recently closed contract for
a large amount Of weekly space In
paper OF 10000 circulation. This
paper he intends as drag net for
buyers while using the local press as
the needs OF the business develop for
calling for such property as the pros
pectivs buyers indicate that they
want.
We wish MIR. Martin success in his
undertaking.

Those who use Mi-o.na do not have
a aallow complexion, suuken cheeks,
nor Aabby flesh. Their skin has a
rudy glow, the eyes are. bright the
breath sweet, the users Of Mi-o'na

and are plump, rosy aud robust.
Nine.tenths of all sickness comes
from weak stomach, causing loss
of flesh, shattered nerves, fatulency,
heartburn, sick headaches, bsckacbes,
spots before the eyes, rheumatic 'rou'
bles, and general weakness and de-
bility. Take Mi-o-na tablet before
each meal, and all irritation, conges-
ton and infam nation in the stomach
or bowels will be immediately soothed
and relieved. In fact, the stomach
will become we'll and strong and the

Missouri Legislature Sends to Gov.
Felix n Bill Preventing Book
making and P0OIselllng.

Jefferson City, Mo-, March 1.-THE
senate accepted the house bill making
bookmalIing and poolselling anywhere
in the state a felony, punishable By a
fine and from six months to two years
Imprisonment in the penitentiary.
The bill will now go to Gov. Folk for
his signature and will doubtless become
a law as the governor made the pro-
vision Of the bill the subject Of a
special message to both houses Of
the legislature. When the anti-book-
making bill first passed the senate 1t
was amended to make the offense a
high misdemeanor punishable by a
fine of $50. The house refused to con-
cur and after a conference the felony
clause was reported back to the senate
with the recommendation that 1t be
adopted. The breeders law, which
allowed bookmaking and poolselling
on horse races in certain enclosures In
the state was repealed several days ago
and will become effective 30 days after
the sine die adjournment Of the leg
islature and the measure adopted to-
day will, If 1t is signed by the govern
or, place the ban on bookmaking
throughout the state both on races
run in Missouri and elsewhere so far
as betting in this state is concerned.
