YoUNGsTER HURT

Gavin Jones, six-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. M. Jones. of
Third Ave. East, narrowly escap-
ed serious accident this after
noon, when he collided with a car
driven by Rube Gest of the Rich
ards-Gest Motor Co. The young
ster, playing in the street, sudden
ly started across Washington
street. Mr.. Gest, coming north, APP
piled his brakes upon seeing the
youngster start across, and man
aged to stop the car within its
length.
The young fellow collided with
the rear fender and bruised his
forehead, lip and chin, and in the
fall got bloody nose. DR.. Tullar,
who was called Immediately, at
tended the boy and pronounced
the injuries as not series. He
was not run over by the car, and
no blame attaches to Mr.. Gest, as
the accident appeared to- be UNI
avoidable.

RARE BOOKS IN yAJuT

Locked up in a vault at the state
library is said to be the only edi-
ton of Napoleon's own memoirs,
written while the emperor was on
the island of ISt. Helena, that is
possessed by a public library in
this country. The work, in four
volumes, is in excellent condition.
The state has a 1882 edition of the
story of Columbus discovery of
America written in Latin by the
tutor of the children of Ferdinand
and Isabella and another story of
the discovery, written in italian
and printed in 1884. The library
owns a history of Phillip IL, pub
lished in 1888, Turkish history
that begins with Mahomet III and
runs down to 1857, together with
collection of many other rare
books. There is no record in the
library to show who donated these
rare volumes but it is known most
of them were acquired during ter
ritorial days.

RIJsINEss sTAYED GOOD

Railroad freight traffic during
1926 established a new record in
this state. 1t stayed good thruout
the year. In the history of loaded
car movements compiled by the
department of public works it is
shown that a big slump always
occurred in midsummer and at
the years end but 1926 was con-
sistently good. The peak of rail-
road freight business during re-
cent years has occurred as fol-
lows: 1922 and 1923, in September;
1924, November and 1925 and 1926
October. In this state 1923 contin-
ues to be the banner year for
freight movements tho in the ma
ton as a whole, 1926 makes
better record.

OPPOSED TO TOLLS

Here's new telephone contro-
versy the department of public
works has just found on its door
step: A group of farmers leased
their cooperative system to small
town company on contract that
specified the monthly rates to be
paid by subscribers. Afterward
the farmers decided they wished
to talk to another nearby town
and they built their own line. The
telephone company, however, in
sisted upon routing the business
over its wires and charging tolls.
Now the farmers are contending
that their calls should be routed
over the line they built and that
they should get free long distance
service.

PRODUCTION OF LUMBER
UNCHANGED LAST WEEK
Softwood Mills Report Slight In
crease In Shipments, With New
Trade Gains.

Reports received here today by the
National Lumber Manufacturers AS
sociation from 32S of the chief soft
wood lumber mills of the Nation indi-
cate that production for the week
ended February 26 was about the
same as for the preceding week. with
shipments little larger and new
business considerably larger-although
on account of the fewer number of re-
porting mills the recorded figures show
slight decreases in production and
shipments.
Compared with the corresponding
week last year, the lumber movement
was less in all three factors, even
after allowing for the fact that y
fewer mills reported this year than
last. Reports from 105 hardwood
mills indicate little. if any, change in
production, shipments and new bust
ness. For the first eight weeks of
the year softwood production. as re-
ported, has been about 100000 feet
less than for the same period of 1926,
while hardwood production by report
ing mills is about 10000, 900 feet more
but, on account of decrease in the
number of mills reporting weekly,
softwood production has not fallen
off so much as the figures indicate.
The untitled orders of 191 Southern
pine and West Coast mills at the
end of last week amounted TO 504,-
929.4T1 feet, as against 495, $3.50, ,4G1
feet for 191 mills the previous week
The 119 identical Southern pine mills
in the group showed untitled orders
of 232.111.031 feet last week. as
against 226, ,531 $50 feet for the week
before. For the - West Coast mills
the untitled orders were 272.S18, 446
feet, as against 69,034,922 feet for
72 mills a week earlier.
Altogether the 3l2 comparably re-
porting softwood mills had shipments
103 per cent and orders 109 per cent
of actual production. For the South
ern pine mills these percentages were
respectively 81 and 80; and for the
West Coast mills 1913 and 106.
