MAN INJURED IN
AUTO ACCIDENT
William Furzier Receives
Cut in Neck From BrOk-
en- Wind Shield When
Car Goes Into Ditch.
AS a result of an automobile ac-

As a result of an automobile ac-
cident that occurred on Sunday after
noon. VIM. Furzer is in the hospital
at Heppner under treatment of Dr..
Allison for serious injuries.
Mr.. Furzier works for Hynd Bros.
ON their Sand Hollow ranch, and
ioined with VIM. and David Hynd in
a little spin around the adjacent
country in their new machine. In
the auto were Miss Annie Hynd, Geo.
ID. Anderson and young son OF Mr.
Lowe, merchant at Cecil. The ac-
cident occurred on grade about two
miles from the Hynd home and in the
vicinity of the Sand Hollow school
house. VIM. Hynd was at the wheel
and David was occupying the seat
beside him. They were going down
a grade at the bottom Of which
was a sharp turn to make going up
the other side. Apparently the steer
ing gear of the car refused to work,
for instead of keeping to the. road
the machine went off the grade into
the ditch and made an abrupt stop
against the bank. The force of the
impact threw all the occupants or
the back seat Of the car over the
heads of those in the front seat. Mr..
Furzier and Miss Hynd being the
only ones receiving any injury. Miss
Hynd received a broken nose and
some slight injuries to her head and
breast, and Mr.. Furzier was forced
headlong through the glass wind
shield. His throat was cut In front
almost from ear to ear but very FOR
tunately the injury was not deep
enough to sever the windp!pe or the
iugular veins for had this happened
he would have bled to death very
shortly.
John Kilkenny happened along
Just at the time of the accident and
the injured people were rushed to
Heppner Immediately where they re-
ceived proper attention at the hands
of the physician.
MIR. Furzier suffered much from
the loss of blood and would have bled
to death before reaching town had II
not been for the fact that Mr.. Kill
kenny used the precaution OF filling
the wound with dry flour which had
the effect of stopping the flow OF
blood to a great extent. The wound
was a peculiar one, the flesh of the
neck being entirely cut out and leav
ing a hole almost large enough to re
ceive a mans fist 1t required be
tween 40 and so stitches to close up
and it looked for time as tLousl
the chances for recovery were against
him. However, at this writing he /:
doing we'll and his physician states
that his recovery should be rapid un
less some unforeseen complications
set in.
The other people in the car es
capped injury, The machine wa'
jammed up some and is being put il
repair at the Heppner Garage,
The Hynd boys greatly deplore thu
accident, and while they each escaped
bodily injury they were in a state o
mental anguish for time until /
was ascertained that those injured
would pull through all right.

The 1914 Morrow county wheat
crop will equal the 1912 crop, which
was around the 100000 bushel
mark, according to N. A. Leach, trav-
cling over this section for the Kerr,
Clifford Co., ofPortland. However
the past week has witnessed ideal
growing weather, and T. j. Mahoney,
Of the First National Bank, on this
account, places the prospective yield
at from 10 to Is per cent more than
the 1912 crop. The acreage this
season is far in excess of any pre-
vious year, and for this reason, all
present predictions may be exceeded
by large margin.

GRADUATES GROWN
CAREER WITH SUCCESS
Pleasing Play, "She Stoops to Con.
quer," Presented in Excellent
Manner.

The graduating class of the local
high school gave much appreciated
and well-rendered play to a packed
house on Commencement evening,
June 8. Every part was we'll placed
and each character gave evidence
that time and talent had been expen-
ded in preparation. In fact, every
detail showed that the class of 1yit,
which is the first class to hold COM
menCement exercises in the new High
School building, felt the privileges
it enjoyed. All the handicaps that
the previous classes endured, this
class did not suffer. The fine new
stage with all its conveniences, serves
well to enhance the enjoyment of the
audience and the efforts Of the en-
tertainers.
But had conditions been otherwise,
there is no doubt but that, "She
Stoops to Conquer" would have been
a success.
The Special Numbers" were also
laden with good things. This por-
ton of the exercises proved that
Heppner has an excellent promise of
producing some good entertainers in
the musical line.
After short presentation speech
by H. H. Hoffman, Supt. Notson de-
livered very appropriate address to
the class.

Of STATE PROGRESS
First Unit In Dock Con-
structicn Work at Fla
vel To Cost So, 900, 900.

Portland, June 6, (Special)-On
last Wednesday Astoria witnessed
the opening of an era of improve
ment and progress which will far
surpass in Importance all the act
ivities at the mouth Of the Columbia
for the past century The first unit
of the Port of Astoria municipal
dock was commenced. The first pile
was driven in a project to reclaim
the waterfront of the city by the con-
struction of great concrete sea
wall, ground was broken for the
Clatsop County section of the Col
umbia highway, and at Flavel, su-
burb of the greater city, work was
started on the construction of a
great system of docks for the accom-
odation of the magnificent steamers
which the Hill system is having built
for the service between the mouth
of the river and California.
The municipal docks. which will
be located at Smiths Point, will con-
sist of dock and warehouse 80 by
100 feet on the west side and a dock
100 by 600 feet on the north side of
the point, the development, when
complete, providing 5000 feet OF
waterfront with piers long enough
to accommodate the largest ships that
can pass through the Panama Canal.
The improvements at Flavel will
include system of docks of suffi-
cient capacity to accommodate any
vessel which can enter the river and
this first unit of the project will cost
approximately 100000. The con-
tractors are busily at work construct
ing camps for their workmen, erect
ing shops and installing powerful
machinery which will be required in
driving construction at top speed. It
is estimated that the first dock will
be ready for use within ten months
from the driving of the first pile.

NY Own Story

The romance OF big business and
the struggle incident to becoming
imbued with the spirit which ami
mates its onward march Is told in an
interesting little book by Joseph II.
Appel, long head OF the publicity de-
paTtment OF the John WanRmaker
stores and now general manager.
The fact that the Wanamaker ad
vertising is acknowledged as the last
word in effectiveness and literary
style gives Mr.. Appers story addi-
tional force.
The author, after career as a
lawyer and newspaper man, wrote
a letter TO Mr.. Wanamaker. pointing
out the advantages OF treating the
news Of big store as the papers
treat the news OF the world. The ac-
ceptance OF his suggestion testities to
its value

In Chapter IL the authors say:
