Last Thursday August Carlson
touched match to paper sack con-
tanning dynamite caps and in the sub
sequent proceedings Mr. Carlson s
hands and eyes were painfully burned
The accident happened at one of the
construction camps. 1t seems that a
workman placed the caps in the sack
unknown to any of the other workmen.
Carlson used the sack to start the fire
and started something else. The young
mans injuries are not serious and he
will soon be at work again.

Putnam still has a warm place in his
heart for the Okapogan country, and
has always felt that at some time pay
