HELD By A ROCK.
Man Prisoner Three Days in Woods
Foot Caught in Crevice.

Matteawan, N. w. July 2l.-Thomas
Cooper, 81 years of age. had his foot
caught in crevice of rock on the estate
of John b. Maddox shortly before noon
Saturday while carrying a heavy bundle
of wood He was held d prisoner from
Saturday noon until o'clock Monday af-
ternoon, when Mr.. Maddox. going to in
spect a wall he was having built. heard
the mans means and released him. Coop
err was so exhausted that he died within
few hours from shock and exposure.
Cooper was well known about Mattea-
wan. He had a fancy for hunting ber-
ries, and often went into the surrounding
country to find new hooks where wild
berries might be picked. Saturday morn
ing he started to look for huckleberries.
While out he had evidently gathered a
large quantity of wood. A part of the
fuel had been tied into bundle and he
was staggering along with this burden
when his foot slipped into the crevice.
No one heard his cries for aid. and he
lay on the ground more than two days
before Mr.. Maddox happened along. Mr..
Maddox is president of the Maddox
Battery Co of New York. He has an ex-
tensive estate here and has been making
many improvements upon it. Among
them was wall. and he had gone to look
at the wall when he passed the remote
retreat in which the victim of the berry
hunt was found.

WILLIAM LYMAN SCRIBNER.
Prominent Eastern Maine Man Dies at
Springfield Home.

Bangor, Me-. July 2l.-The death
of William Lyman Scrbner, long
one of the most prominent Republi-
cans in eastern Maine and former mem
Der of the Board of Prison Inspectors
and county commissioner for PenobscOt
county, occurred at his home in Spring
field Thursday morning at o'clock. He
was 81 years old. The funeral will be held
from his home at o'clock Friday.
Mr.. Scribner's death, which was due to
heart and brain trouble-a sort of general
breaking up, the doctors say. He had
been failing for year past and for sew
eral weeks it has been known that the
end could not be far distant. He had
been under the constant care of a physi-
clan and a trained nurse had been in at
tendance. Last autumn Mr.. Scribner was
in the Paine hospital in this city for
three or four weeks, under the care of
DR.. ID. A. Robinson. Owing to his age
and general condition it was not then
thought that he could ever be his old
self again.
Mr.. Scribner belonged to sturdy Maine
type which is now fast passing. He was
born in Otisfield on Sept II, 1929. and was
the son of B. H. Scribner. His mother
before her marriage, had been Miss Mary
Lewis, the daughter of Rev. Samuel Lew
is of Otisfed.
Mr.. Scribner was brought to Springfield
on horseback when the country was still
a wilderness. This was long before the
first turnpike road had been built AT
that time he was but two years and
eight months old. He had lived in Spring
field ever since and had spent the greater
part of his life in farming, trading, lum-
bering and dealing in horses, farms and
timberands.
The Republican party has always
claimed Mr.. Scribner's allegiance and he
has been a prominent figure in the polit-
ical history of Penobscot county and of
eastern Maine. He served as deputy
sheriff for 16 years as well as two terms
as county commissioner and two terms as
member of the board Of prison and Jail
inspectors.
son. Ralph, who lives on the old
homestead in Springfield, survives. There
is also a daughter. Mrs. B. w. Stnch-
field of Danforth. His wife. who died
some years ago. was Miss Harriet f.

Logs Held Up
On the St. John,

Bangor Me, July 2l.-With the wa
efn Aroostook at a point lower than
for seasons past the logs on several of
the drives on the st. John river and its
tributaries are still hung up, having
been held by the lack of water for sew
eral weeks, and not until the fall fresh
ct sets in will the operators be able to
move their logs along to market
The rear of the corporation drive on
the st. John is hung up above st.
Francis. and the ST. John Lumber Co. of
Van Buren, has three or four million
feet of logs hung up above the big
rapids on the main river. The Van
Buren Lumber Co. has its drive at
standstill on the Little Black river,
and on the Allagash there is {, cedar
drive of over half a million hung up
below the Allagash falls. which belong
to Harmon & Wheeler and were bound
for their mills at st. John Plantation.
The last named drive started early

millions of feet driven down the river
had passed. The company has no
sorting gaps at their plant in ST. John
plantation and consequently cannot
hanGle their logs with those of the
other operators in the drives. They
were forced to wait until after the
other bad passed and by that time the
water was so low in the Allagash that
they found that they were unable to
move the logs.
Most of the mills have logs enough
on hand to handle the seasons saving,
and will not be put to any extended in
convenience because of the low water.
The present condition of affairs
shows the importance of improvements
to the ST. John river and its storage
basins, matter which the 1nterna-
tional ST. John River Commission has
under consideration, and through the
aid OF engineers is compiling data
which will show what can be done to
improve the river and increase the

The commissioners are also consider
ing improvements to the river bed and
channel which together with waters
conserved by dams in the lakes would
eliminate trouble such as is being ex-
perienced at the present time. The
work if it is done will be done under
national charge and supervision, and
great deal depends on the reports of
the commission.
Unlike other rivers in Maine which
are used in the numbering industry
very little has been done towards the
improvements of the st. John river.
except by private corporation. The
St. John Lumber Company did erect
dams on Long, Clayton and Ross lakes
on the Allagash section in order to
control the flow of water. but there
are few Improvements beyond that on
any part of the ST. John.
The storage basins are so formed
that the surplus waters of the spring
rains runs off quickly, and for a time
the river gets more than it needs, then
when it is all gone the trouble begins
The storage basins offer excellent
ABILITIES for increased storage, and
umbermen in that section are anxious

attempted. in order that trouble from
low water may be done away with.
