MAKES A HIGH DIVE.

Since construction work began
on the north bank road, accidents
to employees have been numerous.
All Of them have been serious and
a few fatal. The most exciting SO
far was that which occurred Satur-
day afternoon at Twhoy's camp
just this side Of Lyle, Gus Custer
son being the victim. Though his
injuries were not SO serious as others
he certainly did a stunt the like Of
which has never taken place on the
shore of the Columbia.
Gusterson was setting off large
blast in the Lyle tunnel. which ex-
ploded prematurely and flung him
heels over head into the air, precip-
itating him twenty-five feet down
an elnbankment. He then rolled
another distance and fell twenty
feet into the river.
\ man CHANGED to be coming up
the river in a launch and seeing a
fellow roll into the river proceeded
to investigate, when he found Gus
terson and rescued him. taking him
on up the river to The Dalles llospi-
tai. Had the launch failed to hap
pen along when GusterSon took his
last roll he would have rolled into
eternity. AS might be we'll sup
posed, the doctors found him to be
about as badly bruised up specimen
of dynamite operator as they ever
examined. His head was cut in
Gig hit places and his back badly in
jured, but, strange to say, his in
juries are pronounced rot serious.
Another "yump' would have
landed him on the other side of the
"Jordan," but Gusterson thinks
one carried him far enough.
