after
showing great apparent anxiety for
tho return of his property, a man
giving his name as David D. 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

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.

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-

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

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.
