The Woodmen OF the World adopted a
happy and taking appellation for their
order, says the Franklin News. From
of old, even from the days when Hiram
of Tyre sent men skilled in woodcraft to
assist King Solomon in telling and log
ging timber in the Mt. Lebanon slash
ings, for use in building the temple, the
men who ''lift up the ak against the thick
trees" have been typical of hardihood,
courage and progress. However, there's
no such hardships for the modern wood
man as were endured in our o wn earlier
history. How would orr Woodmen, now
sheltered in their fine camp-halls, enjoy
the stunts performed by Mark Hulings,
the Propers and other Allegheny River
lumbermen in the days from 1910 to 1920?
These men used to raft their seasoned
lumber at the mouth of the Brokenstraw,
float it down the Allegheny to Pittsburg,
and thence down the Ohio and Mississip-
pi to New Orleans, the nearest good
market. Returning, they would come
by sailing vessel to Baltimore, and from
that point make their way home across
the country afoot.
