Clyde Perry v.as the victim of a very
painful accident last Friday. He was
working a small hand windlass at the
quarry of Smith Brothers near Houlton
when the windlaa got beyond his con
trol, and the handle flying around struck
him in the face, fracturing both his
nose and his cheek bones. He is now
in the Good Samaritan Hosoital in
Portland, and it will be a matter of sev
eral weeks befere tie will be able to be
out. The fracture of the noe will in all
probability heal in fine shape, but it will
take a long time for the cheek bone to
resume its former appearance.
Recorder J. Q. Gage.
Mr. Gage has been appointed City Re
corder for the coming year and will as
sume the duties of the office as soon as
th'.- bond necessary for the fob arrives
from the bonding company. Owing to
the fact that Mr. Hazen holds the office
of Justice of the Peace it was decided by
the council that he could not qualify as
City Recorder. Mr. Gage has in the
past held this office and is familiar with
the work, and will fill the position in the
same able manner in the future that he
did in the past.
Deer Island Rural Telephone.
A number of the citizens of Deer Is
land got together at ArUsan Hall last
Monday afternoon for the purpose of
organizing a rural telephone company,
and as usual when they start anything
in Deer Island they made a complete
success of the matter. The following
officers were elected: President, Fxl
mondOIeen; Vice President, N. An
drew; Secretary, If. C. Wood; Treas
urer, J. F. Loyd; Directors, II. C. Gore,
T. C. Meehan, Chas. Merrill. The com
pany will start oat with about twenty
subscribers and the line will extend
from the home of Fred Adams to the
Canaan school house, covering a dis
tance of about seven miles. Probably at j
some time in the future the line will be i
connected with the St. Helens system,
and this part of the country brought in
close touch. The central will be located
at Deer Island and connected with the
long distaaca wirtt.
Columbia street between St. Helen
and Cowlitz i all graded and rocked for
a width of 24 feet in the center, which is
all that tbe road district was figuring on
doing. But now the property owners
along the street have decided that they
cannot afford to let the chance go by to
have the whole street macadamized at a
low figure and Koad Supervisor Dspain
is engaged in rocking it from curb to
curb. This work is the cheapest work
of the kind that was ever done in the
city. The rock being put on it eosting
the property owners just about half
what it would to buy it and put it on
themselves. The crusher will run at this
place until about tbe first of next month
n hen the supervisor and his crew will
0 to the Yankton neighborhood and be
gin the work of getting the r.Js out
that way ready for rocking. About the
first of July the crusher will be set Hp
near the bridge across Milton Creek
near the Yankton postoffice. Work is
also going on on the road from Houlton j
to Giimore Crossing. This road when
completed will be a monument to tbe
progressive spirit of the people of Houl
ton. They needed the road and taw
that it would bring trade to their mer
chants and so the city government is
paying one-half of the cost of it. The
contract for furnishing the wood for tbe
crusher at Yankton was awarded to Mr.
Vi'm. Kkuzie of Bachelor Flat, the price
to be $1.78 for a rick of 2-foot wood and
!.: for 18-inch wood.
