July's big log drive on the McKeade river, a' goena the. like of which Is Lefcomlng ; scarcer each year, because the locomotive engine ts penetrating the forests, and the logs which
otherwise would go down the river are transported to the mills over a path of Bteel. ; i'w' ?-':''y '-l ' ' -': '" 7 ' '"s,f1:) .V-'.'
Insert "Charlie" Williams of Pleasant Hill, Or., who for S7 years has been, ruining logs on the McKemle and Willamette rivers. ' .'4?" -r1""":' j'.'Kl'i' 1 '-:-J
(Special Correspondence).
Eugene, Or., July 12. Log drivers on
the McKenxle river have, . during the
past week, delivered some 6,000,000 feet
of sawlogs to the mill at Coburg, the
drive being one of the large ones which
are e ac.h year becoming fewer. This In
creasing; scarcity . is true not only on
the McKemle river but , of all Oregon
streams, and, in fact, of the streams of
the entire country. : v
The passing of - the picturesque
"drive".' marks another, step In the
march of progress, where skilled men
and horses, trained often through gen
erations, are giving way to modern ma
chinery. Where the ring of the sledge, the
clanging of chains . on .the gravel bar,
the shout of warning:, and the crash and
splash of the great timber in the water
has echoed between the narrow walls
of the mountain stream. Is now to be
heard the shrieking- of the locomotive,
and the grinding of brake shoes. .
; The rlverman is losing his calling be
cause a ; better substitute has; been
found. Ons of, the first considerations
wherein i the locomotive engine excels
mere man, is that of certainty. The
log- drive is a somewhat, uncertain fac
tor In milling. Sometimes the logs ar-
nve at their destination and sometimes . lng them to a
they do not, or mayhap they will go
swirling tempestuously past their des
tination, and 1t is beyond the power of
man to stop them.
The. water In -the 'streams is uncer
tain to a considerable extent and often
Just when the logs are most needed at
the mills, there is not sufficient cur
rent and .volume in the river to carry
thenx ',.' "J f . .
' The locomotive engine takes the logs
out as soon as they may be cut and
delivers them to e degree of practical
certainty," where and when they are
wanted. So as the donkey engine la re
placing . men and ' animals in the for
ests, so is the locomotive. engine replac
ing them to a great extent In the
transportation ' end of the business.
Comparative safety is another feat
ure In favor, of railroad transportation
of logs as against the river drive. Each
year the , river demands its toll In
human lives, and the lives of horses.
Log- driving in Oregon dates' back to
the '60's. In those days it . was an in
dustry of skill and bravery. There were
few tools or none. There Was not even
the peavy, - and . men,' fought with . the
waters and log ' jams y with levers or
crow bars. . . . .
. In 1885 the industry was almost rev
olutionized by the peavy. Charley Wil
liams, who, has just completed his thirty-seventh,
year at. the work brought the
first peavy to the Willamette. In the
early days, too, - the horse' was little
used, ' but gradually - the animals were
trained v to' the work and now take an
Important part in the operation. .'
Kiver driving begins- In May or June
and ends in July. -The men wait until
the last flood has passed, then droD
the logs from the bank where they have
rested all winter, and right to get them
to the mills before the, water gets too
low. If they begin too soon high Water
will tear out the iboom and scatter the
year's cut to points, below. . If. they
begin too late, or delay, the drive will
not reach the mill at all.

POLISH STRIKERS DIE
ON CITY; HIGHWAYS
St.. Petersburg, July t2.-i-PlUful stories
of distress are .coming from Lods (Po
land), where 10.000 workers in the tex
tile Industry are locked out and 10,00)
Others - are being employed on short
time. Starving men are suocamblng on
all sides. Many are dying in the streets:
there has been an alarming increase in
suicides, and the' Infant mortality is
the highest on record.
These conditions - are alleged ' to be
due to the Balkan war, whloh has caused
stagnation' in the textile trade general
ly. Social Democratic members of the
duma have demanded that the govern
ment take up Immediately the work of
relief of the unemployed, and this has
been promised, but little effective as
sistance Is expected. .
The government meanwhile has ac
tually forbidden the workingmen to or
ganize relief measures for their stricken
brothers and comrades.

Marquette, Mich.," July 12,- "Black
Bart" Holxhay, whose criminal career
was one - of the most . spectacular ever
recorded in the United States, was re
leased Wednesday from the' Marquette
prison, after having served 24 years of
a life sentence, Imposed on him In 1880
for murder, - His release is made Dos- 4 1
sibie by- leglsjation. ' enacted xtwo .years
ago, which extends the benefits of the
parole law to .convicts undergoing Jjfe
sentence. . s
Holzliay Is now 47 years old. ' When
he- was received at the prison he 'was
illiterate and possessed a record aa a
desperado, stage coach and train rob
ber. He gave the prison . much, trouble
aurjug tne rirst lew years, but follow- A
lag. , a surgical operation his character i
changed , completely; and he - became a
model prisoner. He has sines been a -.'
student, and . has given himself a good W
education. . For many years he has been
the prison librarian and photographer. ' , '
. Because of his swarthy appearance '
and ill-kept beard. Hoisbay gained the f
name of "Black Bart, the bandit," and t
under, that sobriquet he became notori
ous as the most picturesque criminal in
the histories of Wisconsin and Michi
gan the terror of two states. His ex .
Ploits in the woods of northern Michi
gan rivaled those of Jesse James. A
peaceful lumber jack for a long while,
he1, suddenly broke Into a' : series of,
crimes, which continued until the men- ,
tlon of his name struck terror to the
hearts of travelers In the north woods.
In his cell Holxhay was as fearless as
he was holding up a train or a coach.
On one Occasion he stole a table knife. '-'
sharpened It on, the floor of his cell, and
held One of the guards at bay in his -cell
when he came to take the prisoner
to work. .Many other. times he gave the
officials much trouble during the early
years of his confinement. Finally the
physicians decided that he. was Insane. .
and he was sent, to the' asylum at Ionia. J:
There he was operated upon, . and then .
returned to Marquette.
. Since the operation Holxhay has been
a different man. He has given no trou- '
bit whatever, his demeanor has been as
gentle as that of a. child. 'and. alt his (
time when not at work has been devot
ed to reading. He Is familiar with the '
history and politics of every nation, and.
has written, many essays on sociological -and
philosophical subjects. .Ha Invest -ed
the small earnings he had saved In ,
copper stocks, and his savings jumped
to several thousands, with the help of
Warden' Russell, who plaoed his money !'
for him. He Is now an expert in the do- '
lnga of the market ' It la believed he
ha saved enough money to keep him
the rest bf his days.. J f
