Death Of Ernest Lauer.

The sad news of the death of Ern-
est V. Lauer of Laporte, youngest
son of M. G.. and Marie G.. Lauer
came as great shock to this com
munity last Saturday morning.
About two weeks ago Mr.. Lauer
sustained an injury to his knee by
an accidental fall upon saw. The
wound was given immediate atten-
ton and, although painful, was not
considered especially serious. But
in spite of every effort to prevent it.
blood poisoning developed. For the
past week his condition has been
most serious and two physicians and
a trained nurse have been in constan,
attendance. Strong hopes were en-
tertained for his recovery until two
days before his death, when compli-
cations arose too serious for medical
skill to combat.
Mr.. Lauer was born at Thorntk,le,
January 8, 1877, but his parents re-
moved to Laporte when he was but
few months old. With the except
ion of year or two spent in attend
ance at school at Athens and two
years spent in the west, he has lived
his entire life at this place.
He was young man of splendid
habits and sterling worth. His
generous, unselfish nature endeared
him to all and his happy, genial dis
position made him a general favor
ite. ThOughtfulness for others and
in every situation were
characteristics of his life.
That he should have been called
away at the very threshold of what
promised to be a highly useful and
successful career seems sad to con

An Elk county paper says: In
these days, when lumber prices are
gilt edge, and each splinter Of wood
or bucket of sawdust is worth it,
weight in pennies, Elk county is
experiencing some unique revivals
in numbering No fewer than three
jobs of second harvesting on timber
land that we origionally cut off from
20 to 30 years ago are now in pro-
gress, and none of them shows less
than $4,000 clear in sight.
Two years ago the old Divine saw
mill, near Rofie, WAS torn down and
moved to Nenango county, because
its owners believed that all market
able timber had been gathered and
cut. But last fall the New York and
Pennsylvania company bought up
the old tract of land at very low
sum per acre, and people wondered
what they were going to do with it,.
But now fair sized mill has been
rebuilt on the same site occupied by
the old Divine mill, the miles of
tramway into the mountains have
been rebailt and truck load after
truck load of s'clean up" shingle
bolts and lath bolts is bro ught to the
mill.
Hundreds upon hundreds of saw
logs that were in the heydey of lum-
bering believed to be Of insufficient
value to bother with, are now being
brought to the mill, and as much a.
$40 worth of lumber sawn out of part
of them. Pine tree stumps from four
to seven feet high, round rs ii dollar
and weather reasoned to the core,
are found in the gulleys aud swamps
where in deep snow or on account of
almost inaccessibility the first chop
pers eXtravagantly cut them farabove
the ground. These stumps yield a
bOunteous crop of the best kind of
shingles. Besides, since the abandon
ment of the tract by the original
owners, a second growth of hardwood
has grown into trees of from nine to
fourteen inches, ann these, mostly
oak, quarter sawed, are worth from
S75 10 $50 per thousand feet,
