The telegram that told of her going saddened many hearts. Kate Shelly! For thirty-one years she has been the Ideal heroine of the northwest and In all those years she has lived so mod estly and worthily as to confirm the public's good opinion of her strong and gentle spirit. The story Is an old one. On the night of July 6, 1881, Honey creek, In Boone county, la., became a torrent and swept away the bridge. The Shellys were aroused by the crash of a freight train which bad plunged Into the stream. Miss Shelly and her mother were at home alone. Against the protest of her mother Kate, who at that time was but fifteen years of age, lighted a lantern and started for the wreck. It was a black night and she reached the bank of the creek under great difficulty. Arriving, she was attracted by the cry of the engineer, who was the only survivor of the wreck and was cling ing to a tree. Then she thought of the night ex press which was almost due. To save the train she must cross the Des Moines river bridge, already beginning to tremble from the flood, and get to Molngona station. She ran a mile to the bridge, and then her lantern went out, leaving her In pitch darkness. The bridge was 100 feet long and swung fifty feet above the river. It swayed under the Impact of the waters. The heroic girl crawled on her hands and knees alon;? the perilous struc ture. praying for strength. Flashes of lightning revealed the nttcrliifj brldj-'o, and the swollen waters mlde-l i error rather tb:in assistan -e. Somehow she crowed the I, ridge and got to the station Jint in ti:::e to warn the train, dropping pnn'r ite. In ISS'J the Iowa IcrisluMire voted her a medal and . The North western railroad made her station Bfient at Molngona for life. Today the finest bridge on the main line of the Northwestern road, over the Pes Moines river, near Moingonu, Is named the Kate Shelly bridge. She never married, and when she died at the railroad's hospital last month, a private car bore her body home to Molngona. And that's all. But so long as the waters of the Pes Moines river shall flow beneath the Kate Shelly bridge, the heroism of the brave Irish lass shall be told as a memorial of her. SANDY.

This was a tnni nnnermost in tne minas 01 every one he met. The so-called west roaa hills were also severely condemned. Sentiment In favor of a new county with Estacada as the county seat Is developing rapidly here. At a meet inir In Roner s theatre it was virtually decided to Initiate a bill to create the new county. Part or the proposition la fn cut off a four or five mile strip on the north side of the county from he Willamette river eastwara 10 r ng precinct and throw this Into Mult nomah county. It would be inumaieo from this that the new county would comprise Boring, Cascade, Dover, George, Eagle Creek, Estacada. Spring water, Viola, Highland and Elwood precincts with perhaps a portion of Harding precinct It is claimed by the advocates of the proposal there will be more than $12,000,000 of property valuation in the territory. The prop erty of Estacada precinct alone Is val ued now at more than a million. The farmers are taking very little Interest In the matter. The opponents of the proposition say It will increase taxes without commensurate compensation. Gus Burnett, of Eagle Creek, is be ing urged to be a candidate for the democratic nomination for county com missioner by his party friends of this end of the county.

They would not wonder long If they would start out anew on a farm and meet the burden or tax ation now oppressing and we, with Mr. Riley, are sure single tax will only benefit the wealthy class and city tax payers. POTATO MET IS IN There I" a weaker tone In the pota to market In tho sonlh and this has been transmitted quickly to this sec tion. Buyers are not nearly so eager to take hold or the extreme prices they have been offering at Willamette val ley poluts during (he past ten days. The best price available nt San Kraiicl-tco Is $2.15 for Oregon and on ly a Binall percentage of tho stock goes above $2.00 lit $2.10 per cental. It costs In round figures 60c to ship, sell and weigh potuloes that aro ship ped from the Willamette valley to tint California city. This likewise In cludes the shrinkage, which is quite heavv at this tlmo of tho year. For tho stock that has been selling In San Francisco at $2.00 and $2.15, biivers have been pitying as high as $l.l'5 per cental. Tills added to the freight and other charges, before stock Is marketed In the south, would not allow the local buyer a for hit trouble and chances, though he secured tho extreme top there, On this account the bullsh move ment has temporarily subsuiou. lai forelRit Interests are negotiating; for Hill Iiom and all aro seemingly anx ious to lake hold. Th market for spot goods Is quiet but rather firm. A nominal amount of business Is said to be passing at full prices previously paid but the exact transactions are being kept secret.

The Thanksgiving day which we cel ebrate Is a composite one made op of parts of celebrations of that day by other people. We have taken the time from one, the feast from another and Jhe gathering together of the people from still another. Long ages before the white man came to disturb their peace the Indians held a festal day during this season of the year. They bad a great feast of roasted deer and bear, boiled corn and stewed pumpkin. Then tbey bad their games, the young braves contesting with one another In a sort of gymnastic feats. This was followed by the campflre dance, all Joining hands and dancing around the campflre, singing their strange, weird songs. This wild mood festivity was the original Thanksgiving In America Tossing Chsstnuts. After the Thanksgiving dinner Is eaten tossing chestnuts will be a good game for the young folks to play. To play It place a bowl or basket about nine Inches) In width at one end of the room. Each child re ceives ten chestnuts and, standing eight feet from the basket tries to throw them, one at a time, into It The score is kept and the child who has succeeded in tossing the greatest num ber of chestnuts into th basket wins.
