Black and white postcard of men working with logs floating in water. There appear to be at least nine men pushing the logs
down the water with long sticks. They are all standing on floating logs. Printed in white lettering near the bottom left of the
postcard is "Slucing at the Dells Dam, Wolf River" and written in white ink in the middle of the postcard is "x20". (Possibly "sluicing," see research notes)
The back written in black ink, addressed to "Miss Effa Stage, Fond du Lac, WIs. c/o Dr. Wiley" is "Hello Effa: Are you
going to Ripon Sat. If you are hope you will have a good time. Everything is dandy down here to-day. Was it that --
yesterday. I.E.H." There is also a one-cent Franklin stamp and a "Chilton, Wis, Oct. 6, 1909 8pm" stamp.Collection
