The company has goodly supply of logs on hand, and having the orders for the i nished product in sight will be ready any day to renew active oper ations.
 Earthquake. People Occupying buildings along the water front were startled about noon today by distur bance which might be likened to that of an incipient earthquake. The occurrence continued for period of q few seconds only during which time the buildings shook and tremhled very perceptibly, though no damage was done. It was very distinctly felu in The Miner building where the machinery did some trembling. though there was no commotion traceable to any other cause than that of a suppos- ed subterranean disturbance.
