VIEWS ON BLACK RIVER

      The upper picture shows a boom brail of logs and the end of a lumber
raft. The freight cars stand on a track near the original site of the Milwaukee
R. R. station.
      In the lower picture may be seen piers and booms. Beginning at the right
are Davidson's Old Packet Mill; the Sill and Fauver Mill (later Davidson's "New
Mill"); and the La Crosse Lumber Company's Mill. The view is looking up
the Black River towards the bridge at the foot of Clinton St.
      From "La Crosse by the Camera", a small volume of photographs pub-
lished by W. A. Pryor in 1888.
