ARTHUR UOTUKB SHOT
Arthur Gotlieb, aged about 15,

had tried to shoot it out with a
cartridge. Failing in this he
loaded the barrel, at the breech,
with some powder and then add
ed a regulation cartridge. When
he pul.ed the trigger something
had to give, and that "some
thing was th stock and breech
of the gun. The stock was so
demolished that there was noth
ing left but splinters, while the
copper and metal of the cham
ber was blown to fragments.

Logging and milling in the North
of Washington County, between
Hillsboro and Cochran is assum
ing mammoth proportions. Ear
ly in February the Argus stated
that at least GOO men would be
employed in the North County,
but a census shows that these
figures have been discounted
considerably. As a matter of
fact there are 890 men employed
in the various camps, and, in
cluding the extra train crews
needed to handle the output, at
least 925 men are given labor
because of the lumber industry.
As near as can be ascertained
the following men are employed
between the counly seat and
Cochran
