Sorted Its Last Log Last weck.

The Menominee River Boom Com
pany has not operated upon the PaiAt
river for several years. but Il has con-
tinued its operation on the Main river.
Any person having logs In the tribu-
taries had TO drive them to the main
river where the boom company took
them and drove them to Mepominee.
But that win Be the case 10 bore. for
the last log drive on the Menominse
river Is over. Next year will be the
first time In more than half CEN
tury that there will be no logs driven
down the river.
The drive this year consisted OF H.
100000 feet OF logs, the lowest amount
ever driven through the Menominee
river log pockets
The best record for logs In season
was made by the Menominee Boom Co.
in 1889. That year 66S 900 900 feet OF
logs were driven down in the sum

There has been some talk In Mari
nette about the Boom company having
plan in mind whereby all the booms
and spiles will be picked up. making
the river accessible to boat lovers.
The Boom company has not announc-
ed any plans for the future, and II IL
said that there may be some future
log drives on the river. this matter
however. being entirely up to the mill
companies.
Most of the mill companies In the
Twin Cities have been getting their
winter logs by rail. as most OF the
timber is now cut so far away from
the river that 1t is just as cheap to
ship the logs by rail, as to haul them
TO the river and then drive the logs
down. ,ss,

In the three hundred and thirty
eighth regiment, the heart and teeth
are the weak points. while Ia the three

to dtserence In the class OF men
who have been assigned there and
their previous vocations Flat feet
and hernia are common in both units.
According to Captain r. C. Wins
low Of the three hundred and thirty
ninth, weak eyers are in most cases
the result of infantile diseases and
most of the subjects are not aware OF
the defect. The fat feet. unless they
are too bad, will be cured by the wear
ing OF the army shoe.
Many cases OF specific diseases in
the initial stage are resulting in re-
lection OF the victims. In some In
stances men are accepted where a
doubt exists as to the ability OF the
physicians to cure them and in case
they are not successful. an honorable
discharge will be granted.
Many OF the new men who came to
camp with the intention OF seeking
clerical work in the army. have aban-
doned the idea and are now drilling.
With many the action was taken on
the advice OF officers. who say that
promotion will go to those who have
knowledge OF drill regulations.

churches by Rev. A. ]. James, on be-
half of the knights and Sir knights
by Levi Alexander, Jr., and they all
drew forth eloquent responses by To-

We are sorry that we have not the
space to give the program in full.
The negro is to be commended for
his loyalty, his patience and his for
bearance.
Though for long time in servitude
he has never raised the torch of the

red flag Of anarchy. He has never
raised the black flag of insurrection.
He has been faithful and docile and in
the end his loyalty and fidelity will
win for him friends and he will have
his reward.
In this connection we reprint an ex-
tract from a speech delivered in the
city of Louisville not long ago by Ros-
coe Conkling Simmons, nephew of
the late Booker Washington.
! He said: 1--WE have a record to de-
fend, but no treason, thank God, to
atone or explain. No negro has ever
insulted the flag. No negro has ever
struck down a president of these Unit
ed States. No negro ever sold mill
tary map or secret to a foreign gov
eminent. No negro ever ran under
fire or lost an opportunity to serve
to fight, to bleed and to die in the
republics cause. Accuse us of what
you will-justly and wrongly-no man
can point to a single instance of our
disloyalty.
