Recently Mr.. J. ]. Flint was
thrown from his wagon by his horse
becoming frightened, and considerably
injured. His two little boys were
riding with him. He gave the lines
to one of them while he undertook to
raise an umbrella. The boy dropped
the lines. The father undertook to
recover the them, and was kicked out.
The horse ran with the boys, and
tipped over. The boys were not
seriously injured, but they had a mar
row escape from instant death.

enough for the summers work. We

A DEXAND-Ar Geof.r smith
who has beea down TO sao Francisco
for the purpose Of introducing mote ex-
sensively the hard wood lsmber frou,
this part Of the Territory, returned on
the Ps.ana yesterday He informs u,
tha. the demand for the White River
maple and ssh lumber is likely 70 be-
come very great, aud that there is al
ready market there for more than
twice the quantity that can be shipped
from here. He says if there were three
or four mills here Of the capacity of the
oas now running on White river. there
xoald not be the least difficulty in dis
posing Of the lumber. McCaills;er's
mill, be says. viii be run through the
coming yes. to its fullest capacity. and
that the new mill now building above
MAddox's place will be in operation
shortly. He says. however. that the
proprietors Of these mills made great
mistake when they located their estab-
iishments where they did Their profits
'soold have been much larger, and they
coald have worked 10 far greater a1vau-
tage had they loc tied their mills here
at Seattle. The proper site for estab-
iishments Of this kind. he considers to
be 1t the head Of the bay. The logs
could be driven down the river much
cheaper than sawed lamber can be
freighted down ia scows, and aside
from this il the present mill had been
located here on the bay the proprie-
tors woald not have sustained the darn-
ages they have this winter from the
loss Of logs. 1t is very difficult mat
ter to keep . mill boom in the river
during the winter freshets without
some loss Of logs. Another d,sadvan-
tage they are lAboring under arises
from the fact that the mill is located
some distance above the best timber,
and the logs have to he towed up
stream. For any future mills that may
be constructed for this purpose u site
should be selected somewhere on the
bay here near the mouth Of the river,
aud it is probable that . number Of
them will b built during the next few
Year,.
