Shot the Dam
Through this dizzy chute at one
time, and the event was Witnessed by
an immense concourse, a number of
raftsmen, mounted on section of a
log raft, ''shot the DAM" It seemed
at the time, as the primitive "ship"
plunged into deep under tow made
by the water, where it met the lower
level, they remained an impossibl
length of time and they must surely
be drowned, but no serious mishap
occurred.
The logs that were thus passed
through the chute were "driven" a
la Wisconse to large pool or boom
above Msxweli's dam and thence fed
as needed to the industrious saw mills
just below. / believe this dam, or
parts of the same, exist to this day.
Surely this article would lack some
thing of very general interest as am

there were three of such-that is, three

as the river was open, and until it

involuntary baths through the ice,

here were large boulders. There
we're many noble trees round
about, and the bank was bold

pired to make this an ideal bathing
place. All the really very "oldest"

A singular, and to me, interesting
circumstance attending this important
local historical incident, l wildly re-

quantities of incipient trees and brush
had been put in place and while there
was still strong current from the
flood waters that had not yet sub
sided, there became hopelessly lodged
and tangled among the chassis, many
extremely large pickerel, bass and
various other fishes, where they be-
came helpless founderers and were
readily captured by scores of people
with their bare hands and with no
small degree of excitement and ma
terial qualification. Surely, the Bara-

it has long since been, "fished to

the title of the new four act play ga

fact that the underworld, so called, is
composed of certain class of society

to imagine all sorts of theories. The
author, however, has skillfully avoided
all objectional features, and conceived
a play both powerful and convincing.

The northeast corner of First and

southeast angle of the senate office
building, is busy one. 1t is not that
so many cars or that so many persons
pass that way, but standing there
through the long day, and the long
night, is a crowd of the appurtenances
of civilization. And close together
they stand near the north curb. In
the parking there grows a small tree
dressed in slated tree box. Close In
under its branches is a big, gaping.
open-mouthed box of sheet metal
painted brilliant red and in tall white
letters labeled Waste Paper" Close
by this is a green painted letterbox,
not clamped to lamppost, but
clamped to one of those short letter
box posts which one may see at inter
walls around the city. Close to the let
terbox is big cavernous looking
metal box. 1t, too, is mail box, but
it's special duty is to receive and to
give up-to the postman, papers and
parcels that will not pass the mouth
of the letter box. Close by this group
of utilities is fire hydrant.
Standing at the corner was an old
