would have been lost.
Page & Warren's establishment was
headquarters for Christmas turkeys
last week. Quite a large number were
sold until the supply was exhausted,
after which we noticed A. M. Tichenor
searching the town for cue more small
turkey (or Jour the one he got would
not go round. Dr. Hall had invited
the minister and lanuly to dinner.
and, having the same fear, scoured a
rooster, which looked much like a tur
key when the feather were off, and
being cooked with one, went in on the
same schedule. We failed to learn
how Tichenor got out with hi.
A very enjoyable evening was spent
in the church on Christmas eve, com
bining an appropriate Christmas can
lata with the distribution of presents to

cantata wat entitled "The Story of the
Star." introducing some recitations
tolling how Chrittmat it celebrated in
d i herein countries. Henry Kraix in
hi representation of Germau customs
brought down the house and scored
quite a success. A brick (looking)
chimney on the platform afforded an
opening for Santa Claus to appear,
and he wa on band at Ihe proper
time, ah present were rememnerea
by something to carry away with
them.
The correspondent from thit place
hat been receiving some attention
lately, and last week's Miht gave us
some farther notioe. These notices
from other give evidence that the
item from Clatskanie are read, at
least ; and in that particular are very
satisfactory, inasmuch at one object of
thit correspondence it to advertise
thit town and vicinity. We are as
sured alreadj that the fact of the ex
istence of the beautiful and healthful
city of Clatskanio it known through
out the length and breadth of tint
immense country of ours, and in order
to be truthful we have, we trust with
becoming modesty, referred to the
existence and successful maintenance
at thit place of the only high school
in the county, held in the best school
building in the couuty, and presided
over by tome of the best talent in the
oounty. We mention this at a matter
of nowa, interesting to those who have
children to educate and who are look
ing about for a place to educate them.
Veracity 'demands that we inform
tuch people that Clattkanie it th
place they are looking for. Corres
pondents from other lest favored
townt in the county may take exoep-
lions to tome of these statements be
fore they are priviledgod to pereonally
investigate for themselves, but a visit
to the town and an experience of
the greetings of its cordial and hos
pitable oititent banishes all skepticism
and veriilei our amerlions. We would
not be selfish on account of our super
ior advantage, uur neighboring town
of Rainier bat an excellent school
building, almost a good at ours, and
tome day when they can agree may
have a high school there. Then our
oounty soat (St. Helens) is reported to
have an excellent school thit winter,
presided over by a gentleman of supe
rior ability and uncompromising in
tegrity. Thit intelligence it particu
larly pleating to us, at the factt are
valuable to the town. The school cor
respondent recently ureed a belter
school building there. That it right;
it it needed and ought to be built.
Keep up the agitation, and in the
meantime come down to Clatskanie
and get a model lor your buildins.
The man it here that planned ours
and will give you pointers. Besides
the building it here to tpeak for itself.

About 1 o'clock on the afternoon of Mon
day, the 21st of December. Carlos Wood
and I. W. Detrick were drowned la Hood
river, near the sawmill, seven miles above
the town of Hood River. They were en
gaged in building the bridge across the river
for the Valley Improvement Company's
flume, and after dinner, in company with 0.
A. Bell, secured a boat and started down the
river to their work. The river runs swift
and is full of bowlders at that point, and
their boat soon run against a rock, upset
ting it and throwing all three of the men
into the water. Their cries for help soon
attracted the attention of men who were
working near the sosne of the accident, but
they were unable to render any assistance.
Mr, Bell, being an old logger and river man
and accustomed to being in the water, was
able to reach shore after a desperate strug
gle, but the other two went down in the
swift current.

and a member of Davenport Brothers Lum
ber Company. He was a son of Alfred
Wood, at Hood River, and was highly re
spected in the community. Mr. Detrick
