The recent freshets in the Santiam
river and Hamilton creek worked a
great benefit to the shingle Industry
of Lebanon. The Super Sbingle com
pany had a large number of shingle
bolts in Hamilton creek, which they
were unable to get down the stream
to the mill at Lebanon. The high
water became of the right stage to
easily float the bolts, and the company
got to the mill nearly 2000 cords ol
shingle bolts.
