§ 123. Marks on logs and timber to be recorded. Every person who shall  run any logs or timber down any river or stream recognized by law or use  as  a  public  highway  shall  select  some mark different from any mark  previously recorded, and shall put the same on  each  log  or  stick  of  timber  in  some  conspicuous  place,  and  shall  cause such mark to be  recorded in the county clerk's office of each county in or through which  such river or stream runs. The county clerk shall be entitled to the sum  of fifty cents for recording such mark, to be paid by the person  having  the  same  recorded,  and  a copy of said entry, certified by the clerk,  shall be presumptive evidence that the logs or timber so marked are  the  property of the person by whom such mark was selected and recorded.
