GOD BLESS In Late May SECTION 2-PAGE I -PLAINDEALER Plan Logging Run Down Fox RAILROAD CROSSING SAFETY It's sprihgtime, and in the country that means there'll be a lot of farm equipment taking to the road each day as farmers head out to begin their planting. But it also means there will be more chances of accidents at railroad crossings. Illinois ranks first in the nation in deaths caused by accidents at - railroad crossings and second in the nation in the number of crossing ac­ cidents, according to Don Richardson, manager of the Illinois Commerce com­ mission's "Operation Lifesaver." Richardson said 70 percent of all accidents are at crossings which have some type of warning device and 25 percent occur in rural areas. (The following is a story writted by John T. Flood of Johnsburg, a member of the McHenry County college Journalism department). B o a t e r s b e w a r e ! Sometime in late May you are going to see a raft of logs floating down the fox river. This isn't a story of the Paul Bunyan fairy tale type, this is actually going to take place. The trip is being super­ vised by Rick Bott, a 26- year-old miller from Ingleside. The trip is being made because of certain complications Bott and co- w o r k e r s e n c o u n t e r e d clearing a path of 25 oak trees for a sewer to be in­ stalled. The sewer is part of the project which is to build a drug rehabilitation center called a Gateway House in Fox La|ce. The trip is 15 miles long and Bott hopes to make his destination in one day. The departure point is Fox Lake.^ The trip will run through Fox Lake, Pistakee Lake, down the Fox river and through the locks by the McHenry State park to a saw mill located in Burton's Bridge, which is close to the river. The main reason for the advepture is that the logs are too large to be hauled on trucks and the road con- litions are also too difficult to transport the logs on. Some of the logs that were cut down were over 200 years old, estimated Bott. The trees are about two and one- half feet in diameter and over 40 feet long. The trees are of great value as oak is one of the most precious woods in the U.S. Bott commented that Lake and McHenry counties have some of the best Burr and White Oak trees in this part of the country. The trees have been trimmed and are ready for the trip. The trees will be chained together to form a raft. The raft will,be 12 feet wide and 40 feet long. There will be men on the raft with special " tools for maneuverability in tight spots. It will also be equipped with warning flags. The trip does not have a definite date, as Bott has not decided on a way of tran­ sportation to datp. Bott has contemplated towing the raft of logs, but is in search of a powerful boat (about 100 horsepower) to tow the raft. If this idea does not work, another alternative is pushing the raft with several outboard motors. Log running has been absent for about 100 years. It was a common practice in - WEDNESDAY. MAY 1,1IM Wisconsin and stiU is in parts of Oregon. Bott noted that the system is quick, economic and efficient. Upon arrival at the mill, Bott and a friend will mill the wood. Bott plans on,,, building a house with the wood. He mentioned that the wood has a very high quality and is vastly superior to any other wood. The rest of the milled wood will be sold, as will the firewood that was accumulated as a result of trimming the trees. Bott is open to assistance for the trip. If anyone has a boat large enough to tow this raft, contact Bott at 312-546- 2818. « Iron Source Good sources of iron include dried fruits such as raisins, dates, prunes, peaches and apricots.
