The well known Bomert family will

ple. An error wat made in our last issue
concerning the date for folding the

elated that it wouia oe neia me nrat

cepts me r&weivingi or the punne as
a matter of course. As the Shaver
wat proceeding this way from Port
land Tuesday a lady passenger desired
to be put ashore at Mclotyre'e place,
on the island. There wae a furious
gale blowing and a comparatively high
sea running, and as the steamer neared
the shore she swung into the swell.
The footplank wae heaved ashore and
Tom gallantly mounted it, leading the
passenger. When nearly balf way
down the plank the steamer suddenly
lurched, causing the purser and pass
enger to lose their equilibrium. Two
or three bystanders grabbed the lady,
but the purser wat out of reach, and
soon out of sight. The desoent was
raDid. the hole in tha water large, the
eilect cooling, but notwithstanding all
this misfortune Tom waded ashere,
and more determined than ever, as
cended ue plank, and after a moment
or two esoorted the lady safely to terra
firma.
Mr. A. A. Smith, who about eight
montba ago left his Milton creek farm

all they can contrast for in the way of

Macadam Road. It hat been sug
gested by citizens interested in the
development of the farming interests
of Clatsop county that a mile of ma
cadam road be built somewhere in the
oommunity. The idea is to make it a
sample and a practical illustration of
tbe advantages ana Cheapness in ins
end of a road of tbit kind. If tbe plan
it followed out, and J hose discussing
the tubjapt now see no reason why it
should not, tha residents in the aeign
borhood in which the road is built
would be expected to assist in build'
ing it. There are now 250 miles ot
road in the county, which cost 93,000
annually to keep in repair. The
county court baa not the money to
build such a road, and the necessary
money must come from parties inter
ested in the welfare of the farmers of
the county. If the plan is carried out
and the advantages of a macadam
road are seen, in a short time the
oounty would be supplied with roads
that would be a lasting benefit to the
farmers as well as to the merchants
