U IE T L Y but surely there haa
been erected and put into
operation a large new sawmill
miles southwest o f Wapinitia, in
the Laid law tributory district. Its
output is over luQ.OOU feet daily,
and for tlie past fortnight it has
been running full time six days
a week.
Two mills o f epual capacity are
contemplated, with a combined
«laily output o f a quarter o f a
million fe e t Material for U m » sec
ond mill is already on the ground.
Iuiving been hauled thence from
Dufur over the right o f way o f
the projected Mb Hood railroad
Inasmuch as the new sawmill,
with its tremendous capacity and
ample supply o f marketable lum
ber, is built and operating on the
eastern slope o f the Cascade
mountains, it is a safe gueys to
say that the railroad will quickly
follow.

Correspondence)-The team
used by P- Van Tassel to haul
the mail from Laidlaw to Turnalo
and Gist took frigh t last Friday
while standing unhitched in front
of Jensen’ s mail box near Tumalo,
and dashed madly along the
county road from that point to
Gist, stopping voluntarily, pant
ing. in front o f the Gist post-
office a fter galloping six miles.
In the rig at the time was Mrs-
Van Tassel’ s baby, which remain
ed there without being thrown
out, being removed from the
wagon at Gist by ready hands-
The child’ s le ft heel was bared
to the bone, it is reported, by a
com er o f the heavy seat cushion
falling on it and pinning the in
fant down, but this is deemed
fortunate
otherwise the baby
might have bounced out o f the
wagon bottom and been killed.

Mr. Van Tassel had other busi-

the baby with her. When she
alighted at Jensen’s to deliver
goods bought at Laidlaw, a gust

them off.
