The rear drive of the Kennebec Log
Driving Co., passed Skowhegan falls
Monday forenoon, and the river here
Is now clear of booms except those near
the shore which hold the logs for the
use OF the pulp mills during the summer
Although the early part of the season
was very unfavorable, the water in the
river has kept at even pitch for many
weeks past, and the result Is that the
rear passes Skowhegan this year twenty
DAYS earlier than last season. The
drive was delayed week at Madison
where the logs are sorted for the Great
Northern Paper Co. The Skowhegan
Pulp Co. sorted their logs at the piers
about one mile above Skowhegan falls,
but they kept on a good crew and
managed matters 80 well that the drive
suffered no delay whatever from their
operations. The river will probable be
clear as far as Pishons Ferry by Satur-
day night.
