In the city, and all were working full
forces and hours. Rumor had it yes

car last year. Both have been trou
bled by thoir Injuries and have re
turned to the hospital for further treat
ment. O. M. Heaton's right leg was

noil, representing Col. W. S. Roess
ler, of the government work at the

terday, looking into the conditions,
actual and prospective, of the strike
in the lumber mills. He says that a
strike would now jeopardize the work
of the coming season on the jetty and
would be vastly injurious In all ways.
He Is very hopeful that nothing will
arise to prevent the work going for
ward since all things are now in read
iness for carrying the work to a final-
ity.
