WATER IS QUITE Low
AS CONSEQUENCE the Drives
are Not Proceeding
Very Fast

The Mississippi & Rum River Boom
company is meeting with considerable
trouble, because Of low water, in
getting it's three big drives to make
much Roadway. The drive which was
started from Brainerd about month
ago is now short distance below
Topeka. The crew, under Foreman
Judd Freeman, in charge of this
drive, which has rear of about
80, 600, 900 feet of logs, have worked
hard and necessarily at Olmstead bar
for some time. This is the point that
has caused the most trouble so far, as
the great width of the river at this
point, the low water and the lack of
q regular channel, have constantly
delayed the drive, and it was with
great difficulty that the drive got over
the bar. All of this crew are ex-
perienced men in this work, however,
and greater progress was made than
could have been made otherwise
A lot of piling has been put in so
far on both sides of the river at this
point to prevent logs from going into
~ sloughs and shadows, thereby
,making regular channel, and hence
forth this will do away with con-
siderable of the trouble experienced
there.
The rear of the drive, which was
started from st. Cloud under the
supervision of Otis Web, has reached
a point above Elk River, and it is
expected to have the entire drive in
Minneapolis inside of a week or ten
days.
The crew, under Foreman Ed.
Lavoie, in charge Of the middle drive
will reach St. Cloud IN a day or 80.
