BOY SAVES CAPTAIN.
Only Seven Years Old, But Saved the

ABERDEEN, Wash, May 23.-
Captain Kelly, of the steamer Lind
say, had narrow escape from drown
ing as he started to board his vessel.
Returning from town with his arms
tull of packages, he slipped on the
narrow gangplank and scattering his
parcels in every direction, fell into
the water, striking the sheer boom in
his descent. He was stunned for a
short time, but when he came to-.
struck out and caught hold of the
boom to keep himself out of the wa
ter. He was unable to reach shore
and had to hold on for dear life until
help should come. Finally two small
boys who were playing on the dock
appeared in view, and the, captain
hailed them. They were only 7-year-
old children, and the hope Of rescue
from their efforts seemed rather re-
mote. But the captain told one of
them to go on board the ship, fasten
one end Of rope and throw him the
other. The little lad obeyed in every
particular, and the captain was able
to draw himself out of the ice-cold
water after an hours immersion, not
injured. The boy was handsomely re-
warded for the rescue. /

Pacific northwest have found dog
wood valuelesS except for fuel, and its
utilization for the manufacture OF
Shuttles will bring about 4 consider
able increase in stumpage values Of
this tree.
These companies. at their Oregon
plants, will not only manufacture the
articles named but will utilize every
part of the tree turning to account
the waste wood and producing such
by-products as pyroligenous acid,
acetic acid, portacetate of iron, ace
tate OF lime, methylated spirits, sol.
vent naphtha, wood tar, wood pitch,
and various forms OF charcoal. Dog
wood is indispensable in the manufac-
ture OF shuttles, bobbins and spindles
because il is the only wood which
takes high polish and wears per-
fectly smooth by friction under
water.
The discovery OF the adaptability OF
the Pacific dogwood, however, has
not aided the eastern manufacturers,
and they have been obliged to look
for substitutes nearer home. The most |
promising OF these are mesquite and |
tupelo gum. The wood OF the mes
quite is heavy and very hard, close
grained, and has a compact structure.
1t is probable that it would be emf
nently adapted for the manufacture of
shuttle blocks, as it appears to have
all the requisite qualities OF weight
and susceptibility to a high
smooth polish. Already it has proven
we'll fitted for the manufacture of
'pools and bobbins for which white
birch is now so largely used. The
upelo gum is medium hard and heavy
md has compact fibrous structure.
t has not yet been utilized to much
,xtent in the textile industries, though
is quite probable it will play an inn
1ortant part in the future, since it

qualities the exacting property of
