Sharon, Vermont, USA
1900 - Log Drive Stranded

A few weeks ago the White River log drive of the International Paper Company, amounting to about 4,000,000 feet, which has been in the boom at Sharon for two months, was let out, there being expectation of the higher water to float the logs. They would not move and are now strewn along the river for fiver or six miles below there, without water enough to float a toy boat. It promises to be very late in the season before they are safely stored in their yard at Bellows Falls. The water in both the White and Connecticut rivers was the lowest last week it has been for many years. ALl the pulp stones of the company at Bellows Falls have been idle the last two weeks, as well as a number of paper machines. Much of the distance between there and Springfield bridge the mud shows above the surface of the water.
