When the June flood came, people
ym all parts of the country hurried to |
the river to see the sight Mary Yerge: |
and a boy, son of the farmer v m!

the day when the water
had reached its highest mark. Few per. |
gons had tarried so long. but she and the

Prosale Facts About Logs.
Two hundred million feet of these huge
boom logs are now lying along the banks
and are covering the islands of the river |
from Williamsport to the Chesapeak,
bay. Each log contains the privat
mark of its owner, and agents of the
exchange have been out since the high
water receded identifying them and tak
ing account of stock. The “‘Algerines’ |
and those on whose land the logs lodged |
when the flood went down, are holding
them for the salvage money which an!
old state law allows. In the courts of |
all the counties bordering on the river
the Lumberman's exchange has entered
¥uits against the persons to recover theh
Properly upon the payment of ten cents
or each log, but the *““Algerines” are
making a hard fight against the ex
change, on the ground that the law gives
them authority to claim fifty cents, In
one of the counties 175 log catchers are |
included in one proceeding, and they
have engaged all the lawyers in tha!
county to defend them. In some of the
counties the exchange has made amica- |
ble settlements, and portable saw mills |
are now going up at different place |
along the river to cut the logs int |
lumber, i
Reminiscences of the Flood.
It was a novel sight when the log: |
came down the river, and they causec
untold destruction in their passage
They carried with them bridges, fences |
houses and barns, and many of the larg:
island farms were so completely covered |
with the piles of logs that one conlc!
not touch Bis foot on a spot of ground. |
The owners’ marks are branded on them
as they are on Mexican ponies and oun |
the ranchmen’s cattle,
On Monday following the Saturday
when the flood was at its height and |
after the bridges had been swept away
two big logs came down the river, un
molested in their couse and with a.
much speed as a steam yacht, At thi!
lace thousands of persons lined the
nks of the river, but their attentior
was not especially attracted by the log
until an old riverman called out |
“There's a pig in there.” All eye
turned toward the scene, and sure
enough in about the center of the big!
boom was an old pig pen. The old fish
erman’s cry was taken up by hundred.
of people on the shore, and two young
log catchers headed their boat towarc
ithe log. When they pulled up alongside
of the logs one of the young men jumpeo
over the side of the pen and awakened
a jug poricer from its peaceful slumber
Its loud squealings were heard by those
on the bank of the river, and a long anc
cheer went up from the multi
: . The young men landed both log
and pig about a mil. below the point
where the riverman started what he
t was a huge joke, and they stil
