The log drivers on the Kennebec,
including its tributaries, are meeting
with considerable difficulty because
Of the low water. 1t is expected,
however, that the logs in the main
river will all be driven safely during
this month, but In some of the tri-
butaries. especially Moose river, logs
are inevitably hung up for the rest
of the summer unless considerable
rain should fall. The logs at this

many jams being formed. Some
blasting is being done at some of the
lowest points in the river but no seri-
