A man named O. Olsen met with a
terrible accident at the Clatsop mills
yesterday afternoon. He was working
at a resaw and, In reaching for a light
that hung above the machinery,
broucht his hand in contact with the
saw. The hand was severed at the
wrist. Olsen wus brought down to St.
Mary's hospital and the bleeding
stump, bound with a piece of rope, was
In plain view of pedestrians. Olsen
bore up manfully under the strain and
Dr. Fulton had little trouble in dress
ing the wounded member. Olson's par'
ents reside on the Lewis and Clark.
The Lewis and Clark drawbridge and
approaches will be completed In two
weeks. The delay Is occasioned by the
transfer of the planks that had been pre
pared for the east approach to the
Olney road. This was done because of
the heavy rains setting In and. the ne
cessity arising thereby, to finish plank
ing the road. The road from the city
to Olney is now as substantial as any
street in town, being neatly planked
and rocked the entire distance. Farm
ers who were In the city yesterday
from that direction speak in the high
est terms of the work done. Driving
over the road Is now a pleasure when
before the trip was irksome and one
that was dreaded.

A British thr-e-masted bark suppos
ed to be the Duns Law, which departed
from Astoria for Durban, South Africa,
November 3, with a cargo of flour and
wheat, is floundering around In the
heavy seas off the Columbia river.
with all her square sails gone and her
fore topgallant yard, missing. The dls-
aniea vessel was sighted- at noon on
Friday by Captain Shutte, of the Ger
man bark Professor Kock, which reach
ed port yesterday.
Captain Shutte reports having first
sighted the disabled vessel at noon Fri
day. At that time all her square sails
were gone and her fore topgallant yard
was swaying loosely about. The Pro
fessor Kock went off on a tack, and
when she again came in sight of the
bark, an hour later, the yard bad gone
by the board. The vessel was then un
der staysails and spanker and was
making for the Columbia river.
On coming In sight of the bark. Cap
tain Shutte hoisted his flag, but re
ceived no answer. He describes the
disabled vessel as having a red bottom,
with black sides, double lower yards,
but no royals.
Captain Latham, who took the Duns
Law to sea. states that the description
tallies exactly with that of the British
bark, and he Is satisfied the disabled
vessel Is really the Duns Law. Captain
Latham stated yesterday that the crew
of the Duns Law was an Inexperienced
one, and it is evident that the men were
unatle to handle the bark in the gale
which raged since she left port. That
the Duns Law will be able to make port
in safety Is the opinion of local ship
ping men. Her master, Captain Nlchol,
Is well known in Astoria, und hi many
friends are anxious for his arrival off
the beads.

RESHIPPED
Advices From London Have It
. That Shortage of Pack Will
Be Relieved.
HIGH PRICE MAY NOT DECLINE
Light Stock I Now Carried, Not
Sufficient of the Principal
( Grades to Suppljr
Two Month.
Word was received by one of the
leading cannerymen of the city yester
day from a private source at London
that Alaska reds are to be reshlpped
from London and Liverpool to New
Tork, the shipments to be from th
1902 pack. This Is supposed by local
authorities to be due to the shortage
of the onck of 1903. but other
theories ar! advanced, speculators prob
ably being back of it. The price of the
higher grades advanced recently, but It
is not supposed that the reshlpments,
though they be In large qtmntities, w ill
cause a decline. The following from a
New Tork packer, published In the
Trade Register, states the ondli'ons
pretty c'early:
"The trade is carrying a very light'
stock, certainly not sufficient for two
months' supply of any of the principal
grades, anl when the shortage Is appro
elated there will be a strong movement
to buy, acd unless they purchase suffi
cient now to carry them through It will
be impossible to secure later. The man
who anticipates lower prices will cer
tainly be disappointed this year."
