The Kennebec river had reached it's
high water mark here Tuesday fore
noon, the total rise being about six
feet Around o'clock in the morning
the sorting boom about half mile UP
the river broke loose and ten or fif-
teen million feet of lumber were swept
down the river with great force. A
large quantity piled up against one Of
the railway piers but no actual dam
age to property along the river bank
was reported. The logs belong to va
rious down river numbering concerns,
the Skowhegan Pulp Co. losing about
$4,000 sticks. The lumber will prob
ably be stopped at Shawmut and let
out as it can be handled. Charles E.
Young of the local concern stated
that their lumber would either be sold
or carried back to the Skowhegan
plant. The loss is not considered a
very serious one. especially for the
down river owners and the boom
which is ordinarily controlled by the
Skowhegan Pulp Co. can probably be
replaced without great expense as soon
as the high water somewhat subsidies.
