Many Lofls Floated Out But River Has Not Gone on i Rampane Yet There has been quite n rise In tho Coqnlllo mver but It Is not near the freshet stage and thin morning was not rising, according to I). O. Plerco, the Coijiillle lumberman, who Is hero today, Mr. Pierce states that tho South Fork logs are coming out fnst, a number of camps sending tiioin out, but Morris llrothers have probably the biggest drive. I.ogH are hIho coming out In the North Fork In good Bhapo. Mr. Plerco says that tho high wat er has not Interfered with the mill any and It will take at least a two font further Who to stop operations. Mr. Plerco snys that tho many divitniiKo canals that have boon built Ik tho Ooquillo Valloy havo done much to eltinlnnto the bite fresh ets of a few ours ago. A number of those have boon dug nnd keep the Bwnmp lnnd. pretty woll drntned. Hitherto tlio swamp lands would fill up from tho early rahiB and then a heavy rain would causo a froshot In tho river. Now tho cnnals carry off the early rain water and when tho river rises It has to fill tho swamps bofore It can reach the old-time freshet stage. Mr. Pierce says there Is nothing In tho report that his company has contracted with tho Hardy people for tho sale of their next year's output. They sold somo to tho llnrdy, hut t, o bulk of their lumber goes to tho Robert Dollar people.
