Light Cut of Lake Superior Corpora.
tion's Mill at Canadian 500.
Sault Ste. Marie, Ont, Dec. 9.-The
cut of the sawmill of the Lake Super
ior corporation at the 500 this year
has been but 100000 feet. and the
mill is now down. The small cut is due
to the low finances of the company,
which deferred the receiver from get
ting in large quantity of logs. The
veneer and the sulphite pulp mills were
both closed some time ago for the same
reason. But now large force OF
men is in the woods along the COM
pany's Algoma Central road, and the
sawmill will be started up in February
and the veneer and sulphite mills as
soon as possible thereafter. The COM
pany's ground woodmill is making
about ninety-five to 100 tons of pulp
a day and is finding a ready market
for It.

too far and had better keep away.
Witness helped Moynihan to his feet
and assisted him UP the street. and
around the corner Of Zabokrtsky's

q box. Witness said the bar Seery
used was about fYe or six feet long

about Q o'clock Of that afternoon he
was alone in his bank with defendant
Seery, who was sitting In window.

transacted some business and went
out. Seery went soon after Seery did
not mention Moynihan in the bank; II
anything had been said he would have,
heard it. Witness said he did not see
Moynihan until Seery had gone across
the street. Moynihan was southeast Of
Seery and facing north and west and
they were about three or four feet
apart. They occupied this position
when Moynillan threw the p1ow share.
Witness did not think seery made any
effort to strike Moynihan before the
latter threw the plowshare at him.
witnes was shown the plowshare
by Mr.. Tobin, which was offered in
evidence, and identified it as the
one which Moynihan threw, using
only one hand to throw It. The plow-s
share passed over Seery's left shoul-
der and went about eight or nine feet.
Moynihan had two pieces Of sickle In
his hand when he threw the plowshare
Witness identified exhibit No. 8 % the
sickle which Moynihan had. Ssery

and returned on the run. In his ortn-
ion Seery was angry and excited.
Witness saw Seery later that after
noon. when he appeared angry and ex-
cited; said he told seery. ''Now, Frank,
70 home; your temper has got away
from you.' Meynihan was man
about s feet 9 or 10 inches tall ana
would weigh 1875 pounds Witness SAID
he did not know what Seery's weight
was. Interrogated again as to the
length Of time it took Seery to cross
the street and get the bar OF iron Wit
ness said in his Judgment II was
about 9 or 10 seconds. Witness sa'u
that in his judgment Moynihan must
have thrown the plowshare with
great deal OF force to make it 60 az 1ar
as it did.

summing up what has been accom-
plished, says it should be borne IN
mind that the object Of our own and
other national health organizations IS
not merely the exclusion Of and sup

diseases-a dread born Of ignorance

denic diseases which he says in real
ity are more fatal and distressing than
the greater ones.
