W n the meantime the main body
of the crew under Thorpe and
his foremen were briskly tum-
- bling the logs into the current.
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 a 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.
Shearer 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.
81 don't need you boys here any Ion
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When the men had all withdrawn he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 a man prizes jack
straws he clamped his peavey and
tugged sharply. At once the rollway
{attened and toppled. A mighty splash,
fluff Of flying foam and crushing tim
bers. and the spot on which the river
man had stood was buried beneath
twenty feet OF solid green wood. To
Thorpe It seemed that Shearer must
have been overwhelmed, but the river
man always mysteriously appeared at
one side or the other. nonchalant, urg-
ng the men to work before the logs
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 rollways were bro
ken. Now it became necessary to start
the rear.
For this purpose Billy Camp, the
cook, had loaded his cook stove, n guam
tity of provisions and a supply of bed
ding aboard Il scow At either end were
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
the devil. Down the white water of
rapids it would bump, smashing obsti-
nately against powders, against the
branches of the stream side it would
scrape i'm the broad reaches it would
sulk, refusing to proceed. and when
expediency demanded its pause il
would drag Billy Camp and his entire
crew at the ropes end. while they tried
vainly TO snub il against successfully
uprooted trees and stumps. When al
last the wanigan was moored fast fol
the night-usually n mile or so below
the spot planned-Billy Camp pushed
back his battered old brown derby hat
the badge Of his office, with sigh OF
relief. TO be sure. he and his men had
still to cut wood, construct cooking
and camp fires. pitch tents. snip browse
and prepare supper for seventy men
but the hard work of the day was
over.

JAPAN IS WILLING
To Accept Peace With Russia on
Reasonable Terms.
MUCH TALK IN WASHINGTON
Consensus Of Opinion Among Diplo-
mats Is That Warning Nations Are
on Verge of Peace-Second Pacific
Squadron Has Been Recalled.

Washington, March 14.-When the
car calls his war council today he
will be able to inform them that Japan
will welcome peace on reasonable
terms and will promptly name her con-
ditions provided she receives trust
worthy assurances that they will be
seriously considered.
This the emperor has learned from
friendly chancellories in Europe, as
well as the general terms acceptable
to Japan. These, it is said. include
the retention by japan Of Port Arthur,
a Japanese protectorate over Korea
and an indemnity.
From a high official the Associated
Press hears that Russia has recalled
her second Pacific squadron.
An attache of a Russian embassy In
Europe is quoted as expressing the be-
lief that Kuropatkin's recent defeat
will force Russia to ask for peace.
Briefly. these were the reports cur
rent in the diplomatic corps yesterday,
and as a result of this important infor-
nation official Washington believes
now that Russia and Japan are on the
verge Of peace. If it be true that the
second Pacific squadron has been re-
called, even the most optimistic of
Russia's friends admit that this is
strong indication that Oyama's mighty
blow has made for peace.
Count Cassini, the Russian ambas-
sador, is the notable exception in the
group Of foreign ENJOYS here.

Bryan Moloney turned on his heel
and began to pick his way down
stream over the solidly banked logs.
Without waiting the command dozen
men followed him. The little group
bobbed away irregularly into the dis
lance, springing lightly from one tim
Der to the other, holding their quantity

ropedancer's balancing pole. At the

man pried n log into the water and,

until we get the river fairly filed. and
then you can move on down stream as
fast as you are needed. Scotty, you

At once the signal was given to FL

assistants thereupon began to pry with
long iron bars at the ratchets of the
heavy gates The chore boy bent at
tentively over the ratchet pin, lifting
it delicately to permit another inch Of

Chinese Are Jubilant.

New Chwang, March 14.-Just as
the Koreans celebrated the Japanese
victory at the battle of the Yalu, so
the Chinese at the New Chwang are
now in a spirit of great jubilation, eel
ebrating the fall of Mukden. There is
a great display of fireworks, Chinese
lanterns, transparencies and banners of
the guilds, and the streets are crowd
ed with merrymakers, who applaud the
efforts of the silt walkers. Japanese
and Chinese are parading the streets

When the logs began to cave under

river men found difficulty in staying

of hunting safety.

Then in manner wonderful to be-

saw what he wanted and without

once the rest of the crew began to ride
down stream. Each struck the calks
of his river boots strongly into a log
and on such unstable vehicles floated
miles with the current. From time to
time, rs Bryan Moloney indicated, one
of them went ashore. There, usually
at a bend of the stream where the
likelihood Of jamming was great they
took their stands. When necessary they
ran out over the face of the river to
separate a congestion likely to cause
trouble. The rest of the time they
smoked their pipes.
All night long the logs slipped down

yet without haste. From the whole
length of the river rang the hollow
boom, boom, boom, of timbers striking

behind the Notifications Of Tie Pass,
which were built as a refuge before
the battle of Liaoyang. and is feverish-

ton and further strengthening its
lines.
According to the general staff, the
main body has already completed its
retreat, and the rear guard southwark
is falling back slowly, keeping in touch
with the pursuing columns Of Japan
csc. In the complete absence of fur
Their information yesterday, it is diff
ficult to say whether the pursuit has
slackened or is being conducted by

weary troops a momentary breathing
space while extending his railroad and
other lines of supply to his new posi-

To the Russian army every minute

disheartened detachments have been
given scarcely an hours rest before
being set at work with spade and pick
improving the defenses of the pass.
1t may be, however, that even now
they are being turned out of those po-

The Red Cloud chief., 1905-05-26
ILarHe Gall, Small Soul.

In last weeks issue the Red Cloud
Argus gives an exhibition Of super
abundance Of gall and microscopic
soul that is seldom equalled in the
newspaper business. Being short Of
something with which to fill its col.
umn, the Argus editor hunted up n
copy Of the first issue OF The CHIEF,
printed July 3, 1879, and by reproduc-
ing the news items and giving descrip-
tions of the advertisements contained
i'm the paper succeeded in squeezing
out about three columns OF reading
matter for it's first page.
This stuff was run under the "First
Paper in the County. The Following
Extracts We're Taken from the First
Paper Printed in Webster County.
Issued on Thursday, July g., 1873"
Now, we do not object to the Argus
using The CHIEF files in its search for
something with which to entertain its
readers, but we do believe il should
have the decency and courtesy to give
this paper credit for the information
cleaned from it's columns In the
article referred to there Is not one
word to indicate from what paper the
matter was taken, and readers Of the
Argus who are not acquainted with
the history Of the newspaper business
in this county, would naturally be
misled into the belief that the Argus
was the first paper published in the
county.
1t is doubtful IL such smallness of
soul and absence of common courtesy
to a contemporary could be found in
any newspaper Office in Nebraska out
side the Red Cloud Argus four walls.
