Seriously Injured
at Old Dominion
James Pagan Has Back
Bone Fractured While
Working in Tunnel

Struck by slab of hanging wall
in the lower tunnel of the Old Do
minion mine on Saturday, James
Pagan, aged 26, was taken to the
Mt. Carmel hospital with a fractured
back bone. The injured man had
taken the place of Superintendent
AL Lynch for half an hour Saturday
morning in clearing rock from the
lower tunnel. He had been warned
to be careful, but failed to clear
himself from a slide of rock. His
cry brought John Calhoun, a mucker,
who took some of the rock off him,
and Superintendent Lynch came i'm
mediately and carried the injured
man back in the tunnel.
DR.. r. F. Goetter took an X-ray
at the hospital, and found complete
fracture of the back bone. Dr. Eiken-
barry of Spokane visited the patient
and advised against an operation.
Due to pressure against the chest
caused by the injury, pneumonia set
in. When brought to the hospital he
was paralyzed from the waist down.
Pagan came to Colville from
Seattle. He had applied for work at
the Old Dominion Wednesday night.
but was only put on at the insistence
of President w. H. Linney, who de
sired to give him stake for Christ
mas. He was put on as an extra
man, and the only work he had done
in the face of the tunnel was during
the few minutes before he was hurt.
Superintendent Lynch stated that
this was the first time any one but
himself or Mr. Linney had taken
any of the most dangerous work.
The mother and relatives of the
injured man were notified in the
east.
Four men have been working in
the Old Dominion tunnel, besides the
superintendent. The work has been
in high grade ore.

Manual Training Rooms
Scenes of Much Interest

Newly equipped with a plain dado
saw for rabbiting and tongue and
groove, several rip saws for the
power saw, a Wallace Bennett
planer equipment, and approximate
ly $125 worth of tools, students of
the manual training department of
the Colville high school this year
are enabled to turn out pieces Of
furniture which will be the exem-
plfication of proper equipment and
of thorough training.
Under Byron Smith, professor of
manual training, rs students from
the first and second year registra-
ton, having finished the preliminary
work in drawing, have cut and
planed and shaped materials for diff
ficult pieces of furniture.
A model of perfect jointing is a
sewing cabinet Of oak, IL by l6
inches, standing two and half feet
from the floor on four straight legs.
The sides are paneled. The cabinet
is the work of Prof. Smith.
Library tables, designed by them
selves, will be the work for this year
of Hayward Mosher, Rufus Munson,
Troy Miller and Dee McKern. Clay
ton McKern has under way com
bination china closet and buffet.
Two boys in the first year are
manufacturing piano benches to be
finished to harmonic with their in
strument. They are of mahogany,
one to be finished in cherry and the
other in rose mahogany
William Wright is completing a
medicine chest, the work of last year.
It is closed and of oak, about two
and a half feet in length, contain
ing three shelves, tightly held with
screws.
The high school schedule permits
only one and one half hours each
day in the manual training work,
and according to Prof. Smith the
students have made satisfactory pro-
gress in the department, considering
the short time they have.
From the grades, four days each
week there are classes in this de-
partment. Grade classes are given
essentials in the care and handling
of tools. They will turn out before
the years end pieces of simpler con-
struction, such as tabourets and
plant stands.
The manual training department
is in the brick building on East
Second street, and occupies the en-
tire lower floor. The floor is divid-
ed into two large rooms, well light
ed and heated.
The east room is the class room,
equipped with eleven work benches
and two tool chests. Each table is

drawers for tools. Across the hall
is the work room where machinery
is installed. Here also is a large
rack, constructed by the students,
where is placed material cut and
ready for construction work. On one
side of the room against the wall

The manual training department
vies with the gym in the rear in
popularity for student gathering.
After hours and on holidays the boys
find the work rooms interesting as
places of amusement.
