The Old Square Timber Raft Js a Thing of the Past, However, and Now the Run Is Made Up of Stuff That the Old-Time Logger Would Have Refused to Cut a Few Years Ago. For generations the Ottawa has been the foremost lumbering stream in Oanada, and still the men who work on the sorting booms in the river above the falls of the Chau- diere, where are situated the biggest of the Ottawa's many mills, say that the drives of logs passing through their "gaps" afe as large to-day as ever, Thomas Gillespie, for example, who has been boss of the sorting gang at Thompson's Bay for 35 years, says he doesn't see much dif- ference in the number of logs in the river these days, however much dif- ference there may be in the size of them. He is a veteran of the time when the square timber rafts sailed the Ottawa in the full tide of their glory. ere are no more timber rafts now, there-are no longer trees big ough to make square timber. The last timber crib has shot the slides at the Chaudiere, says S. H. Howard in Toronto Star Weekly. The logs that they make now would, not' have, heen considered worth taking out of the woods in the good old "timber" days. But such as they are they keep on coming-- pine, spruce, tamarac, pulp. The Ottawa is full of logs, from the head waters above Temiscaming right down to the lower river below falls. Nor does one summer see all these Ottawa drives through to the mills. - It takes two or three years for some«0f the drives to get down, In fact, certain firms, like J. R. Booth, have continuous processions of logs afloat all the time, some of "the pieces having been on the way to the mill for years. From some far creek away up on the Hudson Bay Height o' Land; where they were dumped on the ice originally one spring, down through all the ramifications of the tributary streams, little and big, until finally the "grand" river was reached, the journey for some of these water- worn, rock-peeled logs, has been a rough succession of rapids and tum- bling waters, and ice and drifting snow. In the spring .they would move out of their winter quarters with the high water and travel an- other stage of their journey. At a rapids late in summer it might hap- pen somé of these brothers from the distant pinery would be stranded on the shallow rocks and hung up again for another winter. In some cases the Ottawa "sweep" comes along and picks off such laggards ,sending them on down the currrent. But some they miss, and it is said that though Hon. George H. Perley has been out of the lumber business for years fit is not uncommon for Perley's logs to be found in the sorting gaps even yet. As for the logs that sink, drift into blind channels, get chopped up for firewood by the habitants of the Ottawa Valley, or lost, in one way and another in the great river--who knows? Certainly not Thomas Gil- lespie, the boss of the sorting gang at Thompson's Bay. "Lord only knows," says he. Qut in the middle of the wide eur- ren tof the Ottawa stands a two- storeyed house on a erib some four or five feet above the water whigh its yerandah overhangs. Around the hove spread) out fields of floating Jogs like a farm. Paths run across the expanse, and booms are stretch- ed across like fences. Every morn- ing the men go 'off to work, their pike poles over their shoulders, marching these floating paths in the middle of the river. Two logs strap- ped together with pieces of scant- ling and faced with a couple of planks form these river sidewalks, but they are only the main roads, for the men take to the boom timbers at times, or, if need be, they walk the loose logs without hesitation, Their boots are caulked with half- inch spikes. One steps on a log and it does not roll; it sinks, maybe, if it is a small one, but the river man steps on to the next one before his foot goes down. All these logs above here have been floating since last year. They were liberated by the spring thaw and have come down from Lake Dechenes and the rapids. This year's logs won't be at the sorting gaps for a while yet. A boom stretches across the river holding back 'these old logs until they have been sorted according to the brands of their owners. This is the work of the sorting gangs, and the purpose of the sorting "gaps." There are several places where the logs in the Ottawa are sorted--in fact once they strike the main river they are sorted at almost every stage of their jour- ney, each mill taking its quota from out the mass as it passes. The work of sorting and of keeping the drives in the main river moving is under- taken by the Upper Ottawa Improve- ment Company, composed of various owners of logs in the Ottawa, who associate themselves to drive co- operatively instead of as individuals, thus saving an enormous amount of expense. They build the slides at the falls and rapids, manage the booms, and sort" the logs according to the brands and the species of timber. The "sorting gap' is simply a gap in the boom which holds back the "jam" a gap of some fifty feet across. It is bridged some two feet above the water by three long planks. A little lower down another bridge goes across the gap, aud the channel between these two bridges is boomed off like a roadway. All the logs to be sorted-have to come through this narrow channel under the two bridges. On each of these bridges three men stand with pike poles. Men are stationed above to send the logs into the gap, and they have to be men active on the "loose," jor they cannot do their work and stay on the solid boom.

Canada .Has Only One Anthracite Colliery In Operation. Few out of the thousands of holi- day-makers who yearly visit the beautiful summer resort and natural park of Banff, in the Canadian Rockies, are aware that the district has another claim to fame besides towering peaks or foaming cascades, says a writer it The Family Herald. Those who take the drive to Lake Minnewanka, go very close, almost within a stone's throw to this rival attraction, for about five miles to the east, after leaving the town, the road skirts near the Bankhead Mines. Few stay off at this very point, which, apart from its natural importance as a big mine, has a rather unique distinction in that it is the only anthracite mine in opera- tion in Canada! It is somewhat different from one's preconceived ideas of a mine, for in- stead of goifg down a shaft to get to it, one climbs up the mountain. The mountain is one of 'the Cascade Range, and the coal is found in many seams, of which five are now being worked at three different levels. The three levels are respec- tively 4,650, 4,980 and 6,244 feet above sea level. The height of these, while entall- ing an expensive means of approach, is in the end an economy, for the cost of transportation of the mined product is reduced by the adoption of a gravity system. That is to say, a loaded car not only runs down the incline from the mouth of the level to the breaker, but also pulls up an empty car by a cable on the other track. Thelaverage production of coal "is about 1,000 tons a day, although on one occasion 1,400 tons were pro- duced. About 500 tons of this are what isyknown as "marketable" coal. The great feature of the work here is the utilization of the waste pro- duct of coal mining--the coal dust-- to make "briquettes." The coal dust is mixed with coal tar .pitch, sub- jected to a. pressure of about 2,400 pounds to the square inch, and cut into little squares about the size of a tablet of soap. The result is.a "'bri- quette" which can be used for do- mestic purposes like ordinary coal, and also for locomotive fuel, giving out a very fierce, intense heat. 1 About 500 ,tons of briquettes are turned out per day. The briquette fuel is well known, and has been used for many years in England. About 450 men are employed, working in two daily shifts of eight hours each. The rate of pay is very good, the lowest paid being to labor- ers, $2.47 per day, and ranging up to $10. The miners themselves are pald on the basis of the number of yards mined, the average received by them being from $3.50 to $5 per day. The majority. of those working at present are foreigners, but I was in- formed by the superintendent, upon putting the question to him, that he could often find a job for a com- petent miner. The average payroll runs to about $35,000 per month. The company is very good to its employes. It has provided excellent bathing accommodations for the men, every man as he comes off duty has a hot or cold shower bath, and Jeaves his working clothes in his locker, which is rented at a very moderate charge. The company also owns the entire village, and has it leased to them at lqw rentals, ranging from $7 a month upwards. It has also provided a baseball park, football and tennis grounds, skating rink and curling rink. A doctor is located in the camp. This mine is the only anthracite one in Canada, its products are sup- plied mostly to private users, but some are supplied to the C.P.R.s operating department fd¥ use in heating the coaches and Stations. The Waiters Took Revenge. A story is going in Parliamentary circles about Senator "Tom' Davis, the father" of the Anti-Tipping Bill. It was during the height of the debate in the Upper Chamber on the bill, which, it will be remembered, got a front place in the despatches on several days. On one of the days when he was not on duty, Senator "Tom" ran down to Montreal, and put up at the Queen's Hotel. Dinner time came, and the Senator went in and took his seat at the table. He sat in undisturbed quiet for a few minutes; and no waiter came near to ifterrupt his cogitations, Then he began to look about him. He looked. He snapped his fingers. Still he could attract the attention of none of the napkinned gentlemen. Finally he got up and strode indignantly over to the head waiter, and made a complaint. "It's not my fault, sir," replied the head waiter. "I have done my best for you. 1 have asked every waiter in the room to wait on you, and none of them will do it." Paul Chevre's Last Monument, The last piece of sculptural work done by the late Paul Chevre, ' the well-known Parisian sculptor who made so many monuments for the ancient capital recently, was: im- mediately forwarded to Leyis, Where it will be erected in front of e parish church. It is a huge bronze of the Sacred Heart, 10 feet high, and the pedestal is made of a beautiful cube of French granite, Paul Chevre was working on this statue when he was taken suddenly {ll and died at Asnieres a few months ago. His father, who is an old artist of 78 years of age, gave the finishing touches to the statue, ' Paul Chevre was one of the sur- vivors of the Titanic disaster.
