Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1923-06-20

That same winter Shot Gunder-
son had charge of the Big Tad
pole River country. He landed
all of his logs in little lake and
in the spring drove" them out
Ilnto the river. He worked the
drive for two weeks and then his
crews passed the camp from
which they had started. They i'm
mediately concluded that the river
was round and had no outlet.
This incident is known in lumber
jack history as round river drive .
Paul solved the problem of get-
ting the drive to New Orleans by
siphoning the logs over into the
Mississippi.
Paul 'Bunyan has the distinction
OF being the only man who ever
took drive" of logs up stream.
From lumber camp in northern
Minnesota comes the first authen-
tic story of how it all happened.
Sour Ole took a big drive down
the Mississippi for Paul, and when
he reached New Orleans it was
discovered that he had driven the
wrong logs. The owners demand
ed satisfaction, and it was up to
Paul to drive the logs back. 1t
was simple for Paul. He fed Babe
a double ration of salt and drove
him to the upper Mississippi to
drink. When the current reversed,
the upstream drive was on.
Every year more Paul Bunyan
stories are being brought to light
from the remaining camps of the
lumber companies, and they are
being added to the collections of
Bunyan folklore by educators and
literary men.
Says j. M. Lever of the Pacific
Lumber company, in a San Fran
cisco paper, Seeing that this
North American Continent has
only one myth that is entirely it's
own, it is pity that it should
have been in danger of being for
gotten.
For the sake of the young of
the land the memory of Paul Bun
yam ought to be kept forever
fresh.-From June issue of The
Wisconsin Magazine.)

BUM TO INSIST ON
LOYALTY TO CHAMBER

At the Thursday meeting of the
board of directors of the Chamber
of Commerce. Manager Bum will ask
that body to appoint a committee for
revision of the rules and regula-
lions relating to membership, with
the idea of placing it on business
like basis and doing away with the
jumping in and OUT habit of an APP
preciable percentage of those who
join from time to time.
I'VE spend so per cent of our time
collecting dues" said Manager Bum.
There are many who join and reap
the benefit of membership for sea-
son, then retire without payment of
dues. After awhile many of these
join again and do the same thing.
Membership in the chamber has been
too free and easy. 1t ought to be
brought down to brass tacks and be
composed only of those who stick and
pay their dues. Better small mem
bership of those who pay and take a
continuous interest than larger one
of unproductive floaters."
Mr.. Bum is not committed to a
special procedure, but viii ask the
board of directors to name com
mittee TO work out the problem. A
limited membership may be decided
on. The general intent of the pro-
posal, however, is to weed out dead
wood" 1t is believed that the di-
rectors will accede to Mr.. Bunn's re-
quest
