On Friday the freight train was wrecked
to the extent OF the dersiling of three cars
of lumber at Truemaus. The train was
hauling twenty cars of mixed freight,
when a car about the center of the train
became dersiled and caused two more
cars to leave the rails The accident oc-
CURED on sharp curve of the road where
the train crew could not see the dersiled
cars and the track was badly torn up,
there being more than score of ties COM
pletely severed by the momentum of the
cars. Two of the cars were telescoped,
the trucks being removed from the cars.
One car was completely emptied by the
shock, while second one was partly un-
loaded, both cars containing short lum-
ber. The passenger service was but very
little crippled owing to the fact that
transfer service was Immediately put
into operation and by 2 a. m. Saturday
the debris had been removed to such an
extent that service was again restored on
schedule time.
The social held in Andrews hall, Sat
urday evening, for the benefit of the
Catholic church, was grand success
financially, the proceeds amounting to
about S5S The members in charge of the
social feel very grateful to the citizens
who so literally responded to the call for
aid. We doubt whether there is town
the size of Kellettville in this end of the |
state which responds so literally upon
every occasion as does our town and we
can feel justly proud of our lberslity.
Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the log skidder which has Just
arrived and is to be put to use at Hast
ings. There are several car loads OF the
machinery and when set up it will likely
test the weak spots along the railroad.
The entire outfit is composed ofiron and
steel and the platform covers a width of
alauon Ao L., |
eighteen inches from the rails. The ma
chine is fully guaranteed to draw any,
thing with two ends.
The concrete sweat pit at the tanuery
has been completed and is a valuable i'm
pro Yement over the old one that had been
made entirely of lumber and was in con-
.inuous service since the erection of the
,annery several years ago.
Progress on the dry kiln is being
pushed AS rapidly as possible but it will
he some time yet before even the con-
;rete work will be completed. Just how
an improvement this will be TO
The company one can scarcely imagine,
owing to the fact that hemlock lumber is
the only article to dry, and at the ready
demand for this material one could
imagine that the cost of plant
like this would be practical saving on
freight rates enough to overcome the cost
of the building.

The farmers have completed their

oats 1924 bushels, making total for the
three kinds of cereals of l443 bushels.
