All credit to Mr. Stiles and the soldier friends of the Geuer al. Indeixmdent. January 4, 1896, a number of rafts passed hero. Old residents say this is the first time in over twenty years that this has been done. Some of them were quite surrounded with slush ice, and the men had a cold disagreeable time. One large log raft stuck in Punkies, and was bro ken up, part of it landed in Milford eddy and the men came on with the remainder of it expecting to stop here, and pick it up, but the slush crowded them out, and they could not land until they reached Death eddy where the raft now lies frozen in the ice. It will be a great expense to take it out, and unless they do it will be a total loss. Truly the poor lumbermen have hard times and plenty of them. .
