PAINFULLY HURT

Sunday evening Jas. Condor, of
Loomis, sustained very severe and
painful injuries by falling into one Of

ing at the Grand Summit, one of the
claims constituting the Palmer Mount
ain Tunnel group, situated near the
top of Palmer mountain, the name
having been affixed by the original
locator on account of it's altitude.
Sunday Mr.. Condor was in Loomis,
and toward evening started for the
Grand Summit camp, intending to
stop over night at the home of G. r.
Owens, half way up to his point of
destination. When he reached the
Owens place no one was in the house
and supposing that the family was
away, although Mr.. Owens was at
the barn, Mr.. Condor continued on
to the camp. BY that time it had be-
come very dark, and noticing what
he thought was rock in the path
he attempted to step over it and fell
headlong into deep open cut. He
was so painfully injured that he could
not move, and was compelled to lie
where he fell all night, an experience
considering the chilly temperature
that was sufficient to prove fatal tc
the ordinary man. Luckily he was
discovered Monday morning by miners
passing that way and conveyed tC
LoOmis. The extent of his injuries
were not known, although he was
very severely bruised externally. I,
was not until Wednesday that Mr.
Condor was brought to Oroville by
his son-in law, Fred G. Ritter. DR.
Beale examined the sufferer and fount
that two of the ribs on the right side
were torn loose besides a number o
severe contusions about the body. The
| doctor did all that could possibly bt
done under the circumstances, ant
Mr. Condor was taken back to Loomi!

survived his injuries and terrible ex
posure. AS it is it will be long tim,

PAINFUL ACCIDENT

Saturday afternoon between the
hours of . and o'clock Fritz Grath-
wOhl met with very painful and SER
iOus accident that will confine him to
the house for weeks, and he will be
fortunate indeed if he escapes without
being permanent cripple. Mr..
Grathwohl started out Saturday morn
ing for a load of wood, driving up
near the summit of Mount Hull. AS
he was returning in the evening with
a heavy load the team became frac-
tuOus, one of the animals got leg
over a tug and the team started run
ming down the mountain. Mr.. Grath
wohl was unable to check the animals
and at last was thrown from the
wagon and the rear wheel passed over
his right leg at the knee. A few
minutes after the accident w. II. Phil
pot and Mark Sawtelle who had also
been on the mountain for wood, dis
covered the unfortunate man and
brought him to his home. DR.. Beal
was summond and after an examina-
ton discovered that the right knee
cap was cracked, and a ragged hole
in the leg just back of the knee. The
injuries were extremely painful and
Mr.. Grathwohl suffered intensely. In
one respect Mr.. Grathwohl was for
tunate. He was hauling wood over
road that is not frequently Travelled
and had it not been that others were
on the mountain on the same mission
he would have lain out all night, as
he was helpless, and such an eX-
posure would have resulted in death

DEVOTION TO WORK

The young men Of today, 1t is fear
ed, are not, as a rule, as much inter
ested in work as their fathers were.
Perhaps It is because the temptations
to a life of Incidence or at least of in
difference to work are more numerous
than q generation or two ago. At any
rate, it Is apparent that the large
things being accomplished for the
common good and the common happi-
ness are the product of the hands and
the brains of men who came into &C
tive life 25 or more years ago.
Take Edison, the Wizard of Menlo
Park" for instance. On Feb. IL. his
6Hth birthday anniversary, he spent
the day hard at work, in his laboratory,
working with mind and hands to solve
some elusive question connected with
some new invention. This is not a
unique exhibition Of devotion and en-
thusiasm on the part of men who, like
Edison, have been workers from their
youth. But it is one OF many splendid
object lessons to the young men Of to-
day that should teach them TO cult
vste the habit OF work with some OBJ
ject in view worthy Of their devotion
and enthusiasm.
The busy hive of the world of today
is no place for drones. There is work
enough, as well as glory enough. for
all But the glory cannot be obtained
without the work, and work cannot
produce the best results without devu-
ton and enthusiasm.
Well may we refer TO Edison to point
the moral. He rises each day. not 10
dwadle. not 10 spend the hours in
building castles in the air. but he be
gins the day with the keenest zest He
I is an inspiring embodiment Of the JOY
Of work. and its reflex on the man who
has heart and soul in it.
Not every one can make strides II
the field OF invention and research as
years go on. But there are thousand,
upon thousands OF the youth OF TO-DAY
who should know the happy life tina
comes from work into which they en-
ter with devotion and enthusiasm
The drone. the plodder. the siuggard
the ephemeral pleasure-seeker exists
but he does not live in the truest anC

Devotion 10 work is the chief in
