ALBERT C. WOODARD
SUFFERS SEVERE
INJURIES
1 " 1,1 "
Itndly shaken up and suffering from
n severe shock, Albert Woodard is at
the Merry Hospital, Kugrnr, ua the re
suit of an accident which occurred
Thursday when he ami a party of men
were fulling tree« nt (»abridge. A tr•••
had been rut nnd, in falling, struck
against another tree. The men immedi
ntcly braced it nml innde ready to lower
it carefully but it slipped before tie y
were ready and in fulling struck across
n log upon which young Woodard wns
standing. It hit with such force that
it hounded the young man o ff nnd
threw him heavily to the ground, lie
wns unconscious for some time, but
when it was found thut no bones were
broke, it wi i s thought that the accident
wns not serious and he was taken to
rump. When 24 hours passed nnd Mr
Woodard did not seem improved he was
taken to the hospital at Kugene. The
trip required about .10 miles of hard
travel in a wagon over rough roads.

the fire company Monday by Clint
Stewart and Joe and Jim Porter. The
three men are owners o f the Oregon
Hotel building which suffered a fire
two weeks ago. On that occasion the
present electric alarm syatem refused to
work and C. A. Bartell, manager o f the
hotel, was forced to ring the bell by arm
power. Mr. Bartell also chipped in $10.
The electric system has been over­
hauled since and is said to be in work­
ing condition at present.
Despite the continued unfavorable
condition of the lumber'market. Man­
ager Hill has decided to resume opera­
tions at the big Brown Lumber Co.’s
mill next week. The logging crew is
busy in the reserve and logs are expect­
ed to begin arriving the latter part of
the week.
The mill pond has been cleaned out
and enlarged and all necessary repairs
made for a long run. Orders on hand at
the present time, however, do not war­
rant Mr. Hill in stating that he will be
able to keep the saws turning, although
he is willing to do so if the plant can
be made to pay expenses or, at least,
entail but a small loss.
It is understood that the Brown mill
will for the present do the sawing for
the J. H. Chambers mill. With this ex­
tra sawing and a good demand for slab
wood. Mr. Hill hopes that another shut­
down will not be necessary. Were it
not necessary to furnish slabs to the
electric light plant, it is probable that
the mill would not be started until n
month later.
The men formerly employed at the
mill are scattered around the country,
where they have secured other posi­
tions. and Mr. Hill is having some d if­
ficulty in getting a erew with which to
resume operations.
TT is understood that the Hoe mill at
Currin will also resume Mondav.

Candidate For Assembly
Sends Puzzler to
Papers
Alta King of this city, democratic
candidate for the legislature, has a
peculiar method o f campaigning and
probably hopes that it will be unique
enough to attract attention enough to
land him in the state house.
During the past week he mailed let­
ters, to “ 11 papers of the county. The
only statement made in the letters was
this: “ I am a candidate for the legis­
lature.”
Whnt the object o f the letter is, will
probably be a puzzle to the newspapers.
It may be that Mr. K ing’s idea was to
make the letter so much o f a puzzle that
the newspapers would comment on it,
or it may be that he wished to make
them short enough to insure their be­
ing read, or it may be that he wished to
make no statements thnt could be con­
tradicted. Of course it may possibly be
that he merely wished the papers to
know that he is a candidate. At any
rate The Sentinel is probably making
all the comment he could wish.
Ellsworth Nixon, formerly o f Kan­
sas, became owner of 80 acres of the
Jas. Sears place 1*4 miles east of Sag­
