Car Topples Off Bridge

Woman Seriously Hurt

Mireculously eseaping instant death
when the automobile she was driving
turned turtle off the bride over Mar-
shall creek near Nelles’ Corner on Sun-
day, Mrs. Warren, wife of Arthur Ward
Warren, electrician at the Kilgard
brick work, now lies at the home of
Mr, and Mrs. A. Ryall, suffering from
a broken/ collar bone, dislocated hip,
and internal injuries not fully ascer-
tained.

At the time of the aecident Mr. and
Mrs. Warren with their baby were dri-
ving towards Abbotsford in a Chevro-
let car with Mrs. Warren at the wheel.
Tn passing over the bridge at a slow
pace the front wheels slipped off the
narrow planking used as a track for
traffic and the car plunged through
the right-hand bridge railing, toppling
down some 11 feet on to the creek bank
below, turning completely over and

inning the d h. Mr.
Ward was sitting in the front seat with
his wife and holding the baby at the
time, escaping without injury. Had
the front door of the car not fallen off
when the ear turned over Mr. Warren
believes his wife would have been kill-
ed, for she was crushed under the steer
ing column and splintered windshield,
and the door space allowed her body
to escape the terrible impact. The top
and windshield of the the car were
completely smashed, and the wreck was
later brought in by Mr, Ryall and some
nearby farmers, ,

Trees Purchased in the ‘Eighties’
Only Just Being Cut for the
Market

It may interest those who imagine
that timber is bought to-day and cut
to-morrow, to know that some of the
areas that are being logged to-day
have been in the possession of the hold-
ers since the ‘‘eighties.’’ ‘

For 40 years these stands have been
paying increased taxation éxposed to
the risk of «destruction by fire, storm
and decay.

Before the axe touches the timber of
British Columbia, thousands of dollars
are spent in its “logging
Initial reconnaissances have
to be made of the area and then one
or more cruises fo ascertain the quan-
tity and quality of the timber. Then
the services of experienced engineers
are called in and the ground gone over
in detail to find out the possibilities
of getting the timber out by railroad.
Grade problems pres seemingly
overwhelming difficulties aid entailing
heavy be over-
come or the investment must be aban-

ground must be located where the logs
are to be dumped for rafting to the
market.

When all this preliminary investiga-
tion is concluded the timber is purch-
ased and the long period anticipatory
to ‘logging commences, Duiing this
wait the owner has to hold his own
against the elements and the ever busy
tax collector. >

Finally, perhaps, after a period of
long years the timber is cut and the
public asserts its further demand ir

claiming thousands of dollars cash or
