The beat for Nantucket steps at "Vineyard
Haven and Cettage City or Martha's Vine
yard, and the Impression given Is that of
Asbury Park and the North Jersey resorts
without their surtt Tlicy ure cities or cot
tages within easy reach of Bosten people,
where they may enjoy the son breezes niul
beating.
Thb first Impression of Xantucket Ih
very different. It Is a low, rolling island,
with a few tsettages ami hotels en a blurt"
close te the water, and then fur aw ay you
Bee the town of Nantucket resting en a
hlllstdojust'beyend a low point where the
red roer of ie Nantucket house Is pushed
Inte the foreground. The steambeat draws
only about seven feet of water, and
rounds this point with a very elose
shave, but the cape Is se flat that
the crowd en deck have been gaz
ing ever the ugly modern hotel
at the plcturtsque old town beyend and
commenting en the domed and glided tow er
of the town hall, the Irregular character or
the building, and the breezy but respectable
and venerable air of the place. When you
go te Nantucket de as the Nantuckcters.
Xe step at a Queeu Ann hotel In Nantucket
would be as rank n PhlllstlneNiii us te live
in an American heuse In Paris. On this
theory I pushed through u hew ling mob or
haekmen and runners and alter n pleasant
ramble in the twilight through this sailors'
town found ledgement In a heuse built by
an old whaling captain in the eldest part of
the tow n but long known as the Hay View.
In the davs bofero the discovery of potre
hum, Nantucket was a great whaling
town and he'r fleets went cruising for
Inte the Pacific ocean in scaieh e
the sperm whale. The architecture
betrays the sailor tate and In every detail
of the wooden houses shows the hand of a
ship carpenter. Small tengueil and grooved
beards are used with the elabomte care for
space acquired In the fitting el cabins, and
if your room is under the, root the ceiling
will be shaped te meet the windows with
nevflnnd nautical trect. Next morning
J explored the town and found it n verit
able sailors' henie,but a Uttle spoiled by the
rush of snmnicr vlsitets and the less of
most of Its cemmcicc. There Is a cuntulns'
t lub where a let of old tars may be round
any day,reclingyarns or their cod erw hale
fishing. Down by the wharves you pass
substantial old buildings w 1th signs hang
ing out "Fresh water for vessels sold
here." "Sail left." " Fresh w ater, w oed
ard salt for sale." Passluga waielieusii
deer I was surprised te see hanging from
the celling and touching the lloer w hat ap
peared te be two huge setts of the gums
and teeth of seme terrlble monster. The
teeth were pointed ami curved masses of
smooth bone, from four te eight or ten
inches In length and very strong. They
were imbedded at short Intervals In daik
thick loathery straps. These were from the
jaws era huge sperm whale, and they made
the geography pictures, or a wliale making
a meal or a beats crew seem quite within
the range or probabilities. I joined a sail
ing party in the geed beat Naad Qucen,
commanded by Captain Nickciseii with
Mr. Burdette as mate. The beats at Nan
tucket Hre all much larger and mero sea
worthy than the beats in use along the
sound and in the inlets el the Jersey
coast, and they require two men te sail
them. A large flgure three en the sail In
dicated that the Naad Queen was a pilot
beat, and a very swift and btreng two
master ehe pieved te be. In beating at
Nantucket even in mild weather oilskin
clothing Is a necessity and a Jelly patty
encased in a clumsy jellew oil doth with
big hats el the same, can atletd te defy the
spray as the beat caieeus far ever and
rushes away hcrore the wind, while the
captain holds her steady and politely re
quests Mr. lluidolte te diep the centre centre
eoard a bit. It is beat cttlquettc up here te
call the mate "Mister," and politeness
seems te be quite easy and natural te the
geed pcople or Nantucket. A Jersey or
Chesapeake skipper would call his matu
Bill or Tem, but there Is a rough lermality
about the sailors or Nantucket that may be
u heritage or the days w lien they sailed big
ships te distant oceans, when mate and cap
tain vvoVe men ef-dlguliy and pevv er. It is
mere probable that thn high standard et
education en the island has something te
de with It, ler Nantucket has its famous
school where Greek and the higher
brandies are well taught, and she has
nurtured many able men and inoicfauieus
women. The late Miss Maria Mitchell was a
Nantucket woman, and a citizen rolled ell'a
long list or familiar mimes, net new re
idled, or people who were bein and bled
at Nautuckwt. Hut Nantucket et te-day
lias a large supply or rather lazy boatmen
as a prominent feature. They may work
hard at ether times, but in summer their
let Is certainly easy as they wait for sailing
parties te be taken out for a pleasant spin
in their swift beats. Among tliem iire-l
many fine old salts, but none fincrthun our
mate, Mr. Burdctte, a kindly old man el
middle size, with a grizzly beard and clcai
eyes, lithe, active and pleasant spoken. He
is widely known as tlieman who sojourned
in the mouth of a whale, and this is the
way he tells the stery:
"It was down in the Seuth Pacific, and
we wcie a hunt in' whale, and wu had
struck one big fellow and lud a mighty
hard tussle with him. And he was lying
en the top of the water, and we had tlnce
beats out tiying te get near him te kill
him. He was about tired out with lighting
with the haipoen in him. And he went
down again, and the captain he went with
his beat te the ship te gel it gun te sheet
ldui, and 1 was standing hi the bow of my
bout, with a speai and a-wuiting te see
w here he would lise, and the men they
were just a resting en their ears. And all
atonce.thero was his mouth light in under
the bow of the beat, and his lower jaw
came up ene side and his great big head en
the ether. And lie didn't clese his mouth,
cause ir he had it would have been the last
of Mister Uimktte. He just lelt et'tisund
then he sank, and quick as his head went
down his tall camu up and smashed that
be.it all te pieces, but I was quicker some
how and Just tumbled outel the beat back
winds us his mouth went down, and t In
men they all get out tee, that quirk you
ceuldcut tell hew."
Why didn't the w hale shut his mouth?"
" lie cause It w crcn't enleicd that way.
It hadn't ceme te my time te die."
" Was this before the war?"
"Hew t" aid the hints-cut old sailei ma
way that made me ashamed of doubting
him, but I lepcated the query and he
answered: "Oh, jes! long before thu war.
Why it was way back In forty-one down
below the (ialajuges It-lands; jeu have,
maybe, read of them. Here, miss, jeu see
that w hite houce way ilevv n yonder under
the cliff; that's it. She asked me te show
her my Mteme, id I told her I w euld.
New I'm a jielntin' it out and there's net a
prettier place en the island," and the old
man fell te vveik at the pump, baling out
me of the water we lad taken tiem the
v "sve 1 3j a 83 vre rushed alen.
Jhf r i line Jrert in sword ftshiuB' in
these waters and we passed i beat just In
Irem a tvv e days' trip. There was a plank
out ever the liewsprit en the end of which
the harpooner stands, held sarely by a
Hcml-circloef Iren fixed upon a vertical red
no as te encircle his waist. The sword fish
Is a glutton, and after it hearty meal he
likes te float at the surface hair asleep w 1th
only his dorsal lln above water. This fin
"gives him away" and the sword Usher
guides his beat stealthily along slde until
the man in "the pulpit" can launch his
deadly hatKen. A rope is fastened In the
harpoon head ami the handle Is usually
seen broken, but as the fish rushes away
with fathoms of tope a keg Is thrown In the
water made fast te the ether end of the line.
Then the fishermen crulse after the keg
until the sword fish Is exhausted, when
they apprearh him and cut his threat
as tliey would slaughter a pig, only
that care must be taken te exhaust
him thoroughly, fur he may turn
and pluuge his long heavy sword through
the strong skies of the beat. Beating and
fishing, bathing and walking, make up
Nantucket time, as they de at ether resorts
and as for bathing I found the bath heuses
'tvell managed, the water thoroughly wet
and the swimming fine. On the ocean side
of the Island at Slasceusct, or Seensct,
as the natlves call it, there is a regular
Jersey summer resort, with everything but
the big crowds or excursionists, and the
mosquitoes. Of these tw e things Nantucket
knows little. The latter are blown away
by the strong w inds, and the former can
not well get there in geed time. There Is
a fine surf at Sconset, though the beach
leeks rather tee steep Ter geed bathing. It
is reached by n ulue mile railroad from
Nantucket, and the cars rattle along ever a
mirievv gauge read of very wobbly mils,
which help te make the ride Interesting,
and prodiue the old slappety bang
of the railroads of a scere or years
age. Alter two nights at Nantucket,
I started homeward at cloven In the
morning and landing at New Bedford had
a chance te explore this ether old w haling
iHirt berore the train left Ter Pall Itivcr.
New Bedford displaced Nantucket, Cape
Ced and the Vlneyard, and gained a mo
nopoly of the whaling business in the last
years of the last century. Cressing mero
of the reughest of Yankceland pictur
esque with Juugle and swamp and slug
gish crocks, I at last reached Pall Itivcr
and the steamer Pilgrim. We had a
pleasant trip down te Novviiert en tills
Halting palate, but there the run ended
for it time. It w euld be hard te imagine any
scene moie beautiful than Newport harbor
en this stormy night with its thousands
of gleaming lights and their lcllcctleus In
the water, and the mystical shilling out
lines all about us. A sail comes smoothly
towards us and a yacht sw oops by, close
iccfcd and snug but with a merry party en
beard singing, as w e may tell by it few faint
notes w e catch from the gale as they pass

The following is from the New Yerk

rKKl'ATORY.
The following articles relate the experi
ence of a young lady or refinement ami
culture as tlie district schoolmistress in an
interior county of Pennsylvania. She had
been motherless for several years, when
the sudden death of her father, pastor of a
small church in ene of tlie suburbs of
Philadelphia, threw her, at the age or -XI,
upon her own resources Ter the support
net only or hcrseir but of three younger
children. Hcrtwclvo-year-old brother and
two Uttle sisters were attending school lu
the city at the tlme of their father's death.
The latter had been a member of a minis
ter's insurance league, from which her
guardian received about fGOtV She deter
mined, with his approval, that this meuey
should be used te keep the children at
school whlle she would go forth utid earn
her own living.
But hew? She had been carefully edu
cated, but knew nothing of boek-kcepimr,
or the typewriter, or or shorthand. She
might teach music, or French but where
would she find pujdls? Beth these voca
tions seemed te be overflowing mero
teachers than scholars. A salesw eman ?
All her previous education and surround
ings caused her te shrink from this; and
then, tee, she was altogether tee slight and
delicate te undergo the sovertt physical
strain or standing behind a counter Ter six
days out of seven, from early morning
until late at night, mid nil for the munifi
cent sum or live dollars. Teach school?
It seemed her only icsource ; and whlle en
a visit te a friend in the old inland town or
Iiucaster, she accepted the first oppor
tunity which preseuted itself.
The following articles rclate her ox ex ox
perlenco. She kept a dally Journal of her
adventures, and nor narrative, which is
taken from this journal, is thercfore a
veracious chronicle or actual fiicts.

ON THE HTACIE-COACII.
It was a bright April morning, writes
the schoolmistress, when the driver assisted
1110 te a seat 111 the old stage-ceach which
was (e carry me te Soudersvlllc. A vacancy
had occurred In the school district or this
little village the former schoolmistress
having married the Methodist minister,
much te the unaccouutable scandal ei many
geed pcople lu the community and I was
new an applicant Ter her place.
The driver cracked his whip, and tlie
stage rolled lumbering through tlie streets,
and seen left the city behind. Kverything
looked fresh ami gieeu and instinct with
tlie liroersprlng, for there had been n heavy
rain tlie day beforehand new net a cloud
could be scen in all the sky. And what a
rich and beautiful Tanning region lay
ateutid us! I had been told tluvLIjineaster
Is the wealtlest agricultural county In the
United Kudes, mid I could easily beliove it
as we passed by the neat brick farmhouses,
flanked by great barns, and en either slde
the green meadow s in which the hit cattle
were grazing, and the bread Holds or grain
and tobacco rich with the prophecy era
plentiful harvest.
I was startled out or a half-drcainy con
templation or tlie landseape by the driver's
suddenly pulling up at a tell-gate. He
stepped te get seme packages which wero
te be dclivciedut a fanner's, it fevv miles
further en.
" Well, McGinnls," said he, as the keeper
came out, " that w 11s 11 pielly heavy storm,
ycsteulay."
"Ye 111.1v say that, new," said Mr. Mc
Oimiis, in Iheiichcst Irish bregue, "and
the suddenest Iver I saw. May the dlvil
run away, vv Id all such I Here it ceme

such destruction of a peer man's property
it was ridic'l'i'D "'
" It's cleared up te the queen's taste, to
day, though," said tlie driver, us he stew cd
uwhv the last package.
" It Is that,,f bald Mr.McGinnis. " though
il was I'leuilv- at sun mi. audi theUL'ht
we'd have rain te-day without tin excep

M It VKOU IlKI.IalUUS SECTS.
If tlie sons of I'rin wero net found
ev eryvvherc, 1 should have wondered at
meeting ene in this land or tlie broad bread
brims. Fer Lancaster county is filled with
Innumerable small religious sects, el
strangest habits, maimers, and attire. II010
aie round tlie Multilist, or old and new
Meimenltes ; the Amish, the most outlan
dish or all; the Tunkcrs, Sliakeis, and
Winebrennarians founded by a man
named Wlnebrcnncr ; the Feet-Washing
Baptists, who publicly wash each ether's
feet at stated intervals j and the Immersion
Baptists, who net uiilrequeuliy ureaK uie
icoiiithe mlddle of winter and fellow
their pastor out waist deep Inte the stream
wlicre he, stan ling behind the novice, alter
certain ceremonies, grasps him or her by
the shoulders and plunges the entire body
hack waul Inte tlie water. I have seen
delicate voting girls thus " immersed "
when tlie weather was bitter cold, and it
was necessary te break the ice te allow the
pastor and Ids fleck te wade out into the
creek or river. It is, tliey say, the only
" tiue baptism." And this sect, with
loverenco be It spoken, sends missionaries
te tlie " heathen. "
Thnidiief. and sometimes the only dis
tinctien between inany of these sects, is
altogether a matter of clothe. What
splendid illustrations Carlyle would have
round here for his " Sartor Itesaitus I"
All these people, except the Baptists, use
hooks ami eves instead of buttons, which
are what the Itev. Mr. Stiggins would have
called it " vv unity. " The men allow their
hair te glow te 'the shoulders, wheieitis
cut straight nciess; it is combed forward
ev or the forehead, where It is cut straight
across, from ear te ear, just abev e tlie ev o e
brtivvH. All wear the btoadest of broad bread
brimmed hats, with fiat crowns, and the
chearest of home-made jeans. The women
discard ribbons, bright colors, and orna
ments of all kinds, and vve.ti ugly black or
mud - roleied " sun-benuets " and gar
ments of the plainest and coarsest mate
rial. Tlie children tire miniature copies of
their parents in speech, manners, mul at
tire. Their language is tlie " Pennsylva
nia Dutch, " and when they attempt te
speak Ihigllsb, It is always vv ith tlie idiom
of their uative tongue, and often with
ainuslim results. " Tie the deg loose, "
" Ixsk the gate open, " " Jump the fence
ever, " " Light the candle out, " and simi
lar expressions, are very common. As the
years roll 011, they are becoming mero mid
mero divided upon tlie question of educa
tion. It seems almost superfluous te re
mark that the most orthodox still held that
that it is an invention of the I'vil One, and
reluse te send theirchlldren te school. All
of them resrartl " high church " iieeplc,
especially the LpisceiKtlians and ltemaii
Catholics, w ith csiieclal abhorrence.
But I knew nothing of all this, as the
stage was carrying 1110 te Sendersvllle. U
fortunate enough te be appointed te the
vacancy by the grave and reverend seniors
who composed the local school beard, I
expected te find the people among whom
I was te sojourn very much like these in
tlie country surrounding Philadelphia.
Tin; iK.vutim's uxami.wtien.
Of course, I had already iiassed the
teacher's examination, and had received
what Is called a previsional certificate.
this examination was hum v. Ihere were
mere than a doen applicants, and, with
ene or two exceptions, all were I'cini
sylvania Dutsli an 1 ''te tlie manner born,'
Indeed, I could see with liair an eve
that most of them belonged te one or an
other of tlie many sects which thrive here.
We were all crowded within a small dingy
country H' hoel room, anxleuidy awaiting
our fat'e. Suddenly u buzz el uv.e ran
Uircuah the little assembly. looking up,
I saw that It was created by the entrance
of that august per-jenase the county super-
lutendcut. He was a tall, commonplace
looking man, with 11 iielritlcd smile," child
like and bland," which It is illlueult te be
lieve left his lips even when heslept. ScjiI ScjiI ScjiI
Inglilmselfcomfethtbly, he began the ex
amination. All were tlr-d provided with
printed slips of paper, tihinelng et mine.
I found thereon Bryant's "Thaiiitepsls,'
It was printed like prose, and both tlie
tiaine el the poem and of its author were
abent. I could nut rcsNt the temptation oc
casionally of glancing curiously at the ether
applicants. Slmkespeate's shoherd hnsteld
us long age that "geed manners at tlie
court arc as ridiculous lu the country
its the behavior of the country Is most
mockabte at court," and t naturally found
that iv cltv girl was Just as much or a
curiosity te them as they were te her. But
slnce the entrance or the ttuerlutetidettt,
they had ceased staring at me, and were
new- manifestly very uneasy. This was
net the case, hew ever, with ene stalwart
young man, w he sat by my side, and who
had been called uism te distribute tlie
printed slips. He iesscsscd an air of cou ceu cou
ndenee nay, even of arregance vdilch
would havb been Inspiring te beheld In
ene vv hese manners exhibited seme token
of refinement and In whose counteiiance
shone the light or bright Intelligence. As
It was, however, 1 could net help pitying
this young man.
I was impressed, upon first entering the
room, with a similarity or appearance,
manner, and expression observable in a
greater or less degrce in all present. A
certain stolidity eharacteilml them all
heavy forms, short, thick necks, low
brows, and a bovine expression. They
seemed, as, Indeed, they were, the children
era people w he had lived for generations
upon their rich farms, " in a sleek and
rural apathy, well-fed with sameness." lu
this young man great, tall, lumbering
fellow that he was all these qualities
seemed exaggerated. Besides thin, its my
little brother would have said, lie was
" altogetiior tee Iresli."
" Please lead the second panigiaph of
this selection," said tlie tuipcrliitcndcnt te
this stalwarPyeum; man. .
Ile rose, cleared his threat, and began
with tlie lines, " When thoughts et the last
liltteiheur ceme like a blight ever the
spirit," etc. Heavens 1 hew gay 1 v. with
what a confident gladness, he read them I
Taking llieir cue from him, most el" the
ethers read vv 1th a hop, skin, and a Jump,
that might well have matin the poet turn
in his grave.
" What kind or composition Is this
prese or poetry, for oxumnle?"
" t'rese, or cetiise," said the confident
young man, and te my gieat surprise this
was also tlie answer el' the ether. Fin
ally tlie question came te 1110.
" Tills is iioetry," 1 said, which wits fol
lowed by a gcncutl tllter.
" Wluit d'3011 say til it fci," whispered
thn young man. "Don't you knew that
IKietry tfiyinrs, and is wiit in lines by their
own selves? 'Lvciy line bcglimin' with

quoting

1 no grammar.
"Tins Is 11 iHicni." 1 said.

Weweicthen handed slips containing
Poe's "BelN." U had tianspiied lu load lead
ing "Th.iuatepsis" that it grav e and solemn
tene best suited that poem. The value tr
this information te tlie young man at my
slde was made manifest when he read the
first &l.ui7fi of " Bells"" What a world of
merriment their melody foretells!" In the
most grave and pretemattirally solemn
maimer. This was mete than the superin

young man te sit dew 11 before he had read
hair-a-ilercn lines. I was then called upon
te read "Hear tlie telling or tlie bells Iren
bells!" When I had taken my seat, with
a nod of approval fiem the superlnloiident,
1 overheard the young man saving,
"'Till n't fair; I te.ld my voise jess 'zackly
like that!"
hi the examination in grammar and
mathematics, I beliove 1 passed well
enough, but was wefnlly deficient in cer
tain tacts in geography could net iiauie
certain capitals, rivers and deserts, and
was found te be terribly Ignorant of Mr.
So-and-Se's " Methods of Instruction, "
and also of Ids " Theory of Teaching. " I
forget ev en new the iiunin of the author cd
these books, except that it ends in
"sham." as I thoroughly bolieve the

my compmleiis had all these things at
their fiugcis' ends.
Hut the most amusing pari or the ex
amlnatieu was that uiien "general infoi infei infoi

" Who was Alexander tlie O10.il ? "
" What was his last name? "
r sciucely beliove tliesupcilutendent was

he gracefully waived the point.
"Who was tlie mother of Oracchl?" -this

Gracchi, of course."
"Old Mrs. liritcchi, of ceurse!" echoed
the voting man in his stentorian v nice,
" Who vv as Napeleon Boualiarte? "
This question brought fettli some start
ling information. We learned Unit
Napeleon was "tin old I'ictich icing" ; that
he "was born en tlie island of St. Helmut,
and completed all Kuiepc ill the battle or
Wateiloe." One young lady, however,
thought that he had been defeated at the
liattle el "Sedaiti," and had died at St.
Helena.
" 1 11 vv hat b.ittle vv as Julius Ctes tr slain 7"

"1've heard tell that he vv rit 11 book, 11 11

"Yeu w euld call him 11 political economist,
then?" remarked the superintendent In
terrogatively. "Alia!" exclaimed tlie confident young
man with animation; " then 1 knew why
he was beat for governor or New Yerk.
Tills tlilnir or economy In lelltics is a
blamed mistake. It's w hat beat Cant. Ox Ox

Thus I ir hcfoie tlie Hitperinteudcnt could
steplitm,
" I see von are a practical politician,"
said he. ''What de you think of seme of
the leading men in lxdltical life Allen U.
Tliunuan, for Instance?"
" Well, I Just think this much," said tlm
young man emphatically, " that even er I
mi a DeniCH pit, I'd never vote for him -I'd
never vote f'-r no Catholic! "
" Ah!" said tlie superintendent, laisiug
hisovebiews. "I was net aware that Mr.

" Yeu can't read thn isipers much then. "
replied tlie veuns man with a great air or
superiority. ' Aiu'l they always a callin'

"That will de." said the superintendent,
and the examination was ever. 1 no
lenger wondered at the petrified smile.
Much te iiiv surprise, most of the appll
cmls received (citllicates. A gieat burden
was lified from my breast when mine- was
handed te me, for I loll that I had barely

was the fact. 1 railed completely te glve

The l.ttiuhe rmcii'H lUcluiuiie (ilveu Per
mission te Tnke Stray lORs.
Judge Heckareller, tr Northumber
land county, has filed an opinion award
ing ait Injunction te restrain owners
or shorn and Island laud, and per
sons who had capttitcd legs lu thn recent
flood from interfering with empleyes of
thn Lumberman's Kwhaugn lu gathering
up tlie legs and lumber vvlilch had ceme
down from the booms and mills at Will
iamsMirt and Leck Haven, in June, ami
had ledged at.d been ramthf.
The lumbermen eT the Wet Branch aflcr
the flood turned ev or the control or all lest
legs and lumber te the exchange, and the
latter made contracts with a skidding com
or Michigan te gather up and lead tlie legs
along the river, and they also made con
tracts with private eenliat ters te gather up
the lumber, clean it and pile it up ic.idy
for shipment.
The sklddlngceinpany put Jack mills at
11 number of places along thn river te mlse
and lead the legs en cars, and 11 contract
was nutde w ith tlie Peiutsv Ivanla Hallie.nl
isimpany for hauling the legs te Williams
lKirf. The oxchange thought there would be no
difficulty In settling with laud owners
and leg catchers, but atler everything get
Inte operation the workmen were contin
ually stepped by persons vv he leftlscd the
right ofcntiaueti upon their lauds and by
the catchers tr legs, vv he demanded tifty
cents n leg borero glv lug them up.
Tlie elllccrs or the exchange, after mak
ing eilers as high as fl.N) per 1,000 feet te
leg catchers and fitly cents per 1,000 loot te
owners or Islands, and being unable te
make enough settlements te keep the work
lu operation, applied en the.llst of July for
an liijumtleu te icstrain interleteiue witli
their empleyes.
Tlie demands or many Island ewnns,
who have Irem 5!,0M te 10.000 legs, vv etc
fitly cents it leg also, a pi ice which the
exchange was unwilling and unable te pity.
Te these people, as well as te all ether
claimants, the exchange piopesed te glve
security fundi suniswlilch could he legal ly
rccoveiod by giving bends, but limy re
fused te take that security, pieferrlng te
held the legs te enforce their demands.
The opinion oflhuceuit Is exhaustive,
covering about let ty pages of manuscript
and revluw the legislation and decisions or
tlie courts upon tlie questions raised, He,
holds that the act id Isiltltlees net apply te
tint case or legs and lumber curried out by
o.Vtraerdluiiry freshet, and that the act only
applied In case or Intentional floating of
legs en tlie ilver. That was the only act
vvlilch allowed fifty cents 11 leg te ceptms.
I'ndcrtheait of Iwii! captors am allowed
fifty cents 11 thousand feel, providing they
have compiled strictly wild tlie act of ISI5!
by lodging a list or captured legs with n
iusllcn oftlie lience and having It pub
lished. The owneisor seven Ic'ands below the
Shameklu dam who filed ntlidavils that
they had compiled with this law were ex
cepted from tlie Injunction without preju
diced) the rights or the phtliitltl te apply
Ter Injunctions against thorn alter making
it tender or filly cents per 1,000 feet.
In regard te all the ether of the 173 de
fendants ti special Injunction was an aided
te lestialu them fiem any liitorferenco
with the oxchange lu a removal oftlie legs
and lumber brought down by the June
flood, ledged oil their laud or caught and
secured bv them. The exchange la te glve
an Injunction bend lu $30,000.
Jehn Itockiilellor's opinion Is se sweep
ing that It is likely that upon second
thought these who have been demanding
it high price for the privilege torcmevo the
stranded lumber will take a mere reason
able amount and
share the losses or tint
lumbermen.
