Run Over By q Wagon.

Amos Sutherland, a we'll known
merchant Of PumDkintown, Pick
ems county was run over Saturday
by q heavily loaded wagon and
seriously injured.
Mr.. Sutherland came to the city
early Saturday morning and after
securing supply of merchandise,
started home about ~ o'clock
driving two mules to his wagon
which was heavily loaded with
mel chandise.
While passing in front Of Good-
lett's store on Buncombe street,
Mr.. Sutherland allowed one Of tho
lines to drop from his hand. He
leaned over the front gate of the
wagon body, placed one hand on
one Of the mules hips in an effort
to regain the line, and as he did
this both mules became frightened,
gave a sudden jerk and started
on run. Mr.. Sutherland was
thrown to the ground and two
wheels of the wagon passed over
his body.
In short time some passers.by
came to Mr.. Sutherland and con.
veyed him to the residence Of Rev.
4. II. Cody. Dr.. Bottum was sum-
moned at once. Upon examina-
ton it was found that several ribs
were broken and Mr.. Sutherland
was taken to the Greenville sanita-
rum.
Mr.. Sutherland's mules ran up
Buncombe street several hundred
yards and were finally stopped by
someone on the street. They were
driven to Pates e Aliens stables.
1t is said that the wagon and it's
load weighed at least 800 pounds.
1t is probable that Mr.. Sutherland's
condition will prove fatal,-Green~

PRICE OF WHITE PINE
"A
MAY TAKE A JUMP
Possible That an Advance of 81 Per
Thousand Feet May Be
Declared.

There are said to be strong indica-
lions of an ADVANCE in white pine
prices, an advance that will probably
affect cargo lumber and the product
OF the most Eastern part of the white
pine territory. Certain elements in the
trade are urging an advance at the
earliest date, their argument being
that the developments Of the season
have shown beyond all question that
the output of the mills will be made
quate to the demands for lumber this
year. They claim the mills are all, Or
nearly all, running to their full ca
paeity, yet there is scarcely an in
stance where the manufacturer has
been able to accumulate the usual
amount Of stock. necessary to carry
him through the winter. Stocks are
broken everywhere that lumber is man
ufaetured. Trade conditions all over
the Northwest have shown a decided
increase in demand in the last three
weeks and retail trade has advanced
the price of the best building grades
about 81 per 1000.
Wholesalers are maintaining that
the fall prices should go into imme-
date effect; that by stiffening the
prices now the demand Cor white pine
and its movement can be kept down
where there can be 8Io evening up of
aSsortnentS and a steady business the
rest of the year.
for an advance, but those. who believe
in higher prices are talking an aver
age advance of 81 per 1000 feet, al
though there will be certain low
grades that will not be raised in price

RESCUED BY

Rev. Joseph Roy Tells of Missionary
Work Up in af

Rev. Joseph E. Roy, district secre-
tary of the American Missionary as
ISOLATION, with headquarters in Chi
cage, who is spending his vacation in
the Twin Cities, tells a, story of how
three whaling vessels frozen in Bering
STRAITS were rescued by a missionary
reindeer herds @~r ~ SOC ~-f
Some years ago we. sent out two
missionaries to. Cape Prince of Wales.
our most remote station in Alaska.
one of them was killed by some
scoundrels in the streets of the town.
but the otter, w T. Loop, has sue
ceeded in establishing a most satfsfac-
tory mission.
After Mr.. Loop had been there for
some time, news reached the govern
ment- that three whaling vessels were
frozen in Boring Straits, $50 miles
north of Cape Prince of Wales. These
unfortunate sailors might, by close
economy, SubsiSt for fifty days on their
supplies, but after that de1th awaited
them.
Nm aid could reach them by sea and
to drag supplies on dog sledges across
that tracklesS and frozen waste in
winter was next to impossible.
The government then learned of our
reindeer herd and asked permission to
use the deer to carry supplies to the
relief OF the starving crews This was
granted and Loop, the missionary, took
charge of the train.
He arrived with his herd in good
condition. No dogs could have done
this. Dogs have to carry their own
1000 with them, but reindeer live on
the country"
