A NARROW ESCAPE

Last Saturday, while Austin Cum
mings, a prominent farmer of Thet-
ford Township, was engaged in start
ing his tractor he had very narrow
escape from serious injury and pos
sibly death. The circumstances were
that while engaged in cranking the
machine he stood between it and the
projecting floor of pig pen and, not
noticing that the machine was in
gear, when it started it rushed upon
him, pinning him against the side of
the building before mentioned and
giving him a terrific squeeze. For
tunately the engine stalled as it
pressed Mr. Cummings against the
building and to this fact, probably,
he owes it that he was not seriously
crushed or killed. AS it was, he was
unable to extricate himself, but was
able to call his hired man who had
to secure the assistance of a couple
of neighbors before the machine
could be backed up and the injured
man released. Mr.. Cummings was
severely bruised and for time was
confined to his bed, but is now able
to get about and will soon, it is like.
ly, be all right again.

WEDDING RECEPTION

When Mr.. and Mrs. w. c. Pliter
repaired to their home in Thetford
Township, last Thursday evening,
following their wedding, they discov-
cred the house completely lighted up,
and Will, knowing of his activities in
affairs of that kind, in time past, con-
fidently expected to be given a noisy
welcome. He and his bride were
pleasantly surprised, however, to find
the house filled with a company of
neighbors and friends who greeted
them with nothing noisier than the
ringing of wedding bells. The happy
couple were then extended the con-
gratulations of the company, after
which two course luncheon was
served, the table being handsomely
decorated with pink and white carna-
tions. As an evidence of the esteem
and good wishes of the company the
were presented with a
clock.

CHESTNUT ARRESTED

At the time of our going to press,
last week, former sheriff John Ches-
nut, had not been arrested in con-
nection with quantity of liquor
seized at his residence by state police.
Later, however, he was arrested and
arraigned before Justice Tanner, of
Flint, being admitted to bail. He
will be represented by Attorneys Sell
by and Brownell. In commenting on
the affair the Fenton Courier face
tiously remarks that possibly the
liquor was planted on the site of the
ex-sheriff's residence years ago, in
which event he could not be blamed
for building house over it." Ches-
nut says he will contest the action
taken by the police to the utmost ex-
tent.

small two wheel trucks and along
comes either single horses or electric
carriers. There are no track cars.
only great platform whee there is
plenty of room for horses or car
rlers. A word about the carrier:
They are a sort of hoist and truck
combined. Looking at one as it is
coming toward you it looks like a
great capital gu" inverted with
wheels at the lower ends for driving
and wheel in front for steering and
to balance the machine. They back
up. astride the pile of lumber, as it
is built up on the skids, and a couple
of grapples pick up skid and all and
away they go for the lumber piles or
the great dry klns. They run by
storage battery and are recharged
during the night for the next days
work, as each large lumber plant has
its complete electric outfit. A good
share OF the machinery is run by elec-
tricity, thereby saving an immense
outlay for shafting and betting. I
forgot to mention about the settlers

be husky enough to do the setting
by hand so it is done by power, either

ming lengthwise and over large sheave
wheels at each end of the track and
passing under the floor to a power
drum. AS it passes through the car
riage grip wheel imparts the power
to the set works and the operator
moves tiny lever to certain figures
on dial plate before him and the log
is set to the corresponding figure in
the set works. Another thing l for
got was the bandsaw with teeth on
both edges. A plank is cut off and
drons on live rolls and while the
plank is moving along the other edge
of the saw has cut another plank and
it drops on the first and is carried
along in pairs to the next operating
station.
A word as to the operators in such
a hurly-burly place: They must be
men OF steady nerve, of eagle eye
and quick decision, as little mis-
take or blunder on their part throws
everything into confusion. The chief
operators are the sawyer and edger
man, the trimsaw man and the inspec-
tor. On their shoulders rests the
responsibility of either profit of loss
of the firm, and few extra dollars
on their wages make a profitable in
vestment to the firm in return for
their judgement and ability.
