$750,000 annually are expected to re-
sult from further reductions in per-
sonnel and salary' ratings announced
by S. J. Hungerford, , Acting Presi-

cline in revenues, Mr. Hungerford
said in a statement, has made nec-
essary further retrenchments.

positions, while the cuts in salaries

Horse Is Rescued
On, Wednesday of last .week a
horse accidentally fell into the "hot
pond", a concrete enclosed tank used
for washing logs, at Baechler's mill.
There is about six feet of water in
this tank and the horse had no way_
of getting out unassisted. Someone
hit upon the idea of calling an auto
wrecker, the scheme being to throw
a sling under the horse's stomach,
attach the ends to the crane of the
wrecker and hoist the animal to terra
firma. In the absence of a proper
sling this idea, did not work out just
right. Finally a temporary ramp was
built and the horse, with the aid of
planks under it, lifted by men on
either end, was finally rescued with
only slight injuries to the beast. The
horse was one of a team and had
been driven too close to the tank.—
