LOG FORTUNE
 IN RIVER BED Millions in Hardwood Lie at Bottom of Wis.,
 COnSin River

Oshkosh, Wis-(UP)-A fortune awaits the inventor abe to devise a cheap way to salvage millions of hardwood logs lying in the soft mud at the bottom of the Fox river.
 In early wisconsin numbering days, the banks of the river were completely lined with large rafts of logs, with barely enough room for boats to pass. Thirty-six saw mills were kept busy cutting the timber. Hardwood logs in large numbers were lost when they slip ped from the rafts and, water soaked, sank. Because of their lesser buoyancy, the hardwood logs sank in greater numbers.
 The river bottom now is com pletely ''lined" with hardwood from the mouth of the river at Lake Winnebago to Lake Butte Des Morts, five miles away, a survey revealed.
 The cost of retrieving the logs is great, even with modern equip- ment. Lumber company officials have been seeking some device that would raise the logs econom- acally.
 Several years ago log that had rested on the river bottom for more than 50 years was salvaged by the Paine Lumber company. and of such quality, that the company immediately began to salvage logs from the endss of it's docks in the river. Since opera tions first started, an average Of 18O logs Q day are recovered, more than eonugh to pay the costs of hiring 8 special crew. A

United Press Staff C0rrespondent)
 La Grange, Texas = (UP) - A tall granite column stands in this town to honor the memory of tho 53 Texans, who lost their lives in two of the most tragic events in Lone Star State history.
 Recently unveiled, the monu- ment commentaries the men who fell in the ill-fated Mier expedi- ton of 1S42, recalling the story of the 17 black beans that spelled death for as many men at Hacien- da Salado.
 Fund Raising Took 100 Years
 It was erected after nearly 100 years of fund-raising.
 It was in 1948 that the bones of the IT martyrs of Mier, together with those of 36 other Texans mastered in the Battle of Salado Creek, were returned to Fayette County soil and buried nea rhere. Citizens of La Grange at once began efforts to raise money for a suitable marker, according to Houston Wade, postal clerk, whose history of the expedition was pub lished with the monuments un- yelling.
 In the summer of 1842 the Re- public of Texas still was at war with Mexico, though the decisive battle of San Jacinto had been fought and won by General Sam Houston's army six years before.
