Downstream eight miles, below the
mills, and just beyond where the draw
bridge crossed over to Monrovia. Dun
can McLeods shipyards steamed and
bent and bolted away at two tugboats.
The spring burst into leaf and set
tied into summer. Orde was constant
ly on the move. AS soon as low wa
ter came with midsummer he departed
to Redding. Here he joined crew
which Tom North had collected and
went to the head of the river. Far
back on the headwaters he built a
dam. The gate operated simply and
could be raised to let loose an entire
flood. And, indeed, this was the whole
purpose of the dam. 1t created a res
ervoir from which could be freed new
supplies of water to exc out the drop
ping spring freshets.
The crew next moved down ten miles
to where the river dropped over
rapids full of powders. Here were
built a row of stone filed log cribs II
a double row downstream to define
the channel and to hold the drive II
it and away from the shadows. At TIT
falls twenty-five miles below Orde pur

fifteen feet high, fell straight to be'

until jagged irregular scoop hollow
had formed Immediately underneath
the fall.
In food time the water roared
through this obstruction in a torrent.
The logs plunged end on into the
scoop hollow, hit with a crash and
were spewed out below more or less
battered. Sometimes, when the drive
brought down hundred logs together,
they failed to shoot over the barrier
of the ledge. Then followed jam, a
bad jam, difficult and dangerous to
break
This condition Of affairs Orde had
determined, if possible, to obviate.
eft" said he to North, 1--WE could
carry an apron on slant from just
under the crest and over the potholes
it would shoot both the water and the
logs off better angle"
Sure" agreed North, "but you'll
have fun placing your apron with all
that water running through. Why, it
would drown us!'
1--WE got a notion on that" said
Orde.
Into the forest went the axmen.
The straightest trees they felled,
trimmed and dragged down travoy
trails they constructed, on sleds they
built for the purpose, to the banks Of
the river. Here they bored the two
holes through either end to receive the
bolts when later they should be locked
together side by side in their places.
AS fast as they were prepared men
with canthooks rolled them down the
slope to fiat below the falls.
After the trees had been cut in suf-
ficient number Orde led the way back
upstream q half mile to a shadows
where he commanded the construction
Of number of exaggerated sawhorses
with very widespread slanting legs
When the sawhorses were completed
Orde directed the picks and shovels

The twenty-siX foot logs We're placed

four holes bored for that purpose. The
task finished, they pried the fash
boards from the improvised dam,
piled them neatly beyond reach Of
high water, rescued the sawhorses and
piled them also for possible future

struct an electric railroad from the
south end to the north end of the coun

ally the same as that granted to Bar
ney Mahler and associates In 1904. Mr..
Knight stated, as he did to the Provo
city council last Tuesday, that he was
not associated with any men or COM

did not take 49 per cent. He was not
dependent upon eastern capital to
finance the road and did not intend to
apply for any capital otherwise than
stated above, He was anxious to have
the board act on the application as soon
as possible, as II would take some time
to get franchises from all the towns
along the route. and he wanted to go to
