Joyce, who said he had recently been dis charged from tho veterans’ hospi tal at Boise, when overtaken yes torday by officers after ho had succeeded in making his getaway front the city, admitted that his story was only a fabrication for the purpose of insuring himself a comfortable bed and hot break fast, that he had no rar and had lost no money, having had none to lose. Joyce told a plausible tale of how ho had picked up a stranger and fed him, only to be Inter slugged and kicked from his own ear after showing some resistance while the muzzle of a revolver was being poked into his ribs. The suspicion of officials was aroused when Joyce showed little anxiety yesterday to have the of ficials continue their search for his car. When ho seemed to be trying to leave the city unob sorvod tho officials became con vinced that something was wrong. When he was overtaken, after hav ing made his getaway, and was asked for the number of his li cense so that the officers could continue tho search, ho told them not to worry, that ho had never had a car. When Joyce arrived in the city Tuesday night and told his story to Deputy Sheriff Pitcher, ho soon had an interested audienco and offers of assistance and it was not long until ho was provided with funds for his immediate needs. Word was received horo yes terday from Centralia saying that Joyce was wanted there for work ing the sarno game he worked herd. a firmer tone than for many months and August showed a gen uine up grade in market prices, recent lumbering bulletins state. Local operators agree* that thv market is in for better times and assert that both orders and prices show a healthy tendency. August of 1922 showed a similar tendency in the market, and the journals are hopeful that this year will prove a parallel case. Mills in Oregon and Washington have com- paratively heavy order files be fore them, lt is stated, and are declining orders now which would have been accepted a few months ago. Operators of this district report a tendency toward better prices, with heavier shipping. One owner plans to reopen a large camp which has boon idle for several months. A general spirit of optimism pre vails among mill owners in this district as well as in other local ities. Some entertain tho fear, al ways prevalent when prices aro on the up grade, that prices i will reach a stnge wh ere they ' will retard business rather than stimu- I late it. Ono journal states that large mills in Lane county arc enjoy- ing good business now, with stead- ily increasing prices, while small mills and tie mills are finding it difficult to book orders.

Swimming in deep water with feet tied and hands tied behind the back and wearing a complete army uniform, including overcoat, pack and marching equipment is a difficult task, but not an inipossi- ble one, as Andy Gault of Clinton, Iowa, demonstrated before a crowd at the mill dam Sunday evening, Gault, in making this unusual swim, wore the complete outfit, ex cept the shoos and leggings, and in addition towed a railroad tie, holding the rope in his hands. His unusual stunt is to tow a boat containing three men, but none was available here. Gault, also played a popular song on a cornet, swimming on his back during the performance. Gault has gained wide publicity by his novel exhibitions in the water. The idea of using the army equipment in his stunts was conceived while he was serving with the A. E. F. in France.
