 Owing to the heavy rush and continued increase in business in the telegraph department at the local depot, the company has seen fit to install third operator from 10 am. to 10 pm.

 There was another change in our business firms this week. The Will Hams Bottling Works, so long under the management of Geo. H. Barney, on Tuesday was transferred to J. H.

He is a hustler and thorough business man, and will no doubt make a success of his new calling.

 Thursday afternoon the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Co.,, mill was closed down on account of the high water, which came up so as to cover the tracks surrounding the mill All the men employed by the com pany at the different lumber camps have been laid off, on account of the condition of the roads, as it was impossible to get the logs to the railroad. The shut down at the mill is only temporary, as plenty of logs are on hand to run for some time, but it is not known when the men will return to work at the diff ferent camps It is also said a double force will be put to work when the camps resume.
 Last Sunday morning Gallagher's work train on the Canyon road with Conductor Hogue in charge, went in the ditch at Twin Bridges, about twelve miles north of Williams. The tender, tie car, water car and commissary car were thrown from the track, but no one was injured. The accident prevented the passen- ger train from getting through, Sun day, but the passengers were trans ferred to train sent out from here, and arrived some hours later. The roadbed is very soft from the recent storms, and although every precau- tion is being taken, accidents of this kind are liable to occur in spite of them. The track was repaired so as to allow trains to run on time Tuesday night but are not allowed to run on schedule time.
