about 150,000,000 feet by rail.
Rail shipments have gone boutn

great volume of lumber in all forms

doors and sawed and round lum
ber the local consumption has
been large, and all the mills have

Tk. S.lsm Statesman tells of a
ilio uuiv -
peculiar accident which happened
to Dave Irvine, formerly of Corval
lis, in Salem last week: "V. n.
Irvine, the Court street shoe manu

into one of the stakes to which one
of the guy wires of the big boot

as to necessitate his remaining in

Thejnew Dam.
The Fischer dam is to be con
structed cn a far, greater scale
than many people imagine.
With the old dam it was impos
sible to utilize all of the water
and in the summers water power
for operating the nouriBg mm
was ont of the question.
At present nine men are em
ployed in the construction of the
dam. Durinsr the past week
I i i A
miin nas ueeu unvcti aim
a email hmstiricr enenne
done. A small hoisting engine
, : , ? j
ner pihnsr, dredging, etc. A ca-
ble has been stretched across the
stream and a car or bucket that
will. hold a yard of gravel is op
erated on the wire " with the aid
of a pulley and the engine.. The
whole affair is on the plan ot an
aerial tram, and works to per
fection. It is a great labor sav
ing contrivance.
The dam will be between nine
and ten feet high. It will be
about 1 50 feet long, and at its
base will be 32 feet wide, or
thick. In its construction two
carloads of cement, 500 or 600
yards of eravel and 7.5,000 feet of
lumber will be required. All f
the cement and gravel is on the
ground and about 30,000 feet of
lumber has been received, ine
balance of the lumber required
will be received as rapidly as it
will be needed. In the bottom
of the dam flood gates made of
14-inch sewer pipe will be placed.
There will be ten sections ot pipe
run (through the botton of the
dam, and each pipe will have a
gate, so that it will be an easy
matter to regulate the flow ot
water through the race. "The
old m;ll dam was a leaky affair,
but the one now building will be
perfectly tight, as it will be ce
mented.
August Fischer, who is super
intending the construction of the
dam, says that he estimates the
cost of the dam at from 3,000
to $3,500. He thinks that it
will require fully six weeks' yet
to comolete the work, and ne
will be satisfied if it is completed
by September 15th.
Well Shaken.
U. B. Vogle, the jeweler and
optician who was in business in
this city for several years and
who sold out to A. J. Metzger
and went into business in Lom-
poc, California, has written the
Gazette a brief account of the
earthquakes that have been fash
ionable within the past week in
and about Santa Barbara, Calif.
Lompoc is right in the section
of country tbat was so well shak-
en up. In his letter Mr. vogie
savs:
Von no doubt have heard of
the earthquakes at Lompoc and
Tnlv 27th. It was
the hardest shock felt here since
the vallev has bee a settled and I
want to tell you that I have been
"rocked in the cradle of the
deen." and in various other
this nne "takes the
cake." There is no position
thai- T wfls not in.
During a series of earthquakes
all lights are extinguished in or
nW to avoid fires, which makes
the situation more dangerous
tcVioti in a hnildinff. A thous
and thnn ants run through a per
son's mind about that time, and
the most of them pertains to the
hereafter. Everyone here says
that thev are going to be good
from now on.
Tnat north of town about one-
fourth of a mile there is a chasm
in the earth which destroyed the
old Spanish Mission which was
built in 1812 and killed a great
manv communicants. The new
mirm. about four miles east 01
trip nld one. has received a simi

The destruction done here is

by lightning; tour dwelling
houses were struck within as
many miles. Numerous trees
and telephone poles were shiver

were huddled togetner unaer a
tree which was struck and the
entire bunch were killed. Quite
a number of people were shocked,
but I believe none were seriously
injured near here.
