any rounty bridge at one time to twenty,

very disastrous.
Rev. G. G. Halov has been confined

his right shoulder received a severe
strain. He la now rapidly recovering.

It may be that we are over-enthusiastic

with the ever-foBtive trout, spring water,
clear and pure, cold and healthful ; wild
berries Jn undlesa quantitiea, and bun
dreds of other attractions that tend to
lessen the burden of man and assist na

of him who seeks aweet repose in the

these allurements it aeema atrantre.
doesn't it, that people will rush away to
the coast, but such a course is only In
keeping with the natural course of
numan events. Kvarytmng to gratify
tlie desires of those Seeking refuge from
the heat and business carea consequent
upon life in the city is to lie found here,
and we extend a hearty invitation to all
auch peraona to act upon our suggestion
and come to our mountain streams to
spend their vacation. Transportation
faeilitea cannot be excelled. It is possi
ble to reach our county from the metrop
olis within an hour or two any time of
day, seven days each week. River and
mail transportation ia excellent and a
ten-hours drive will take one to the ex

A Log on the Track.
Monday's Telogram contained the fol
lowing item; "Haturday afternoon's
Huaslde express on the Astoria road,
leaviug Portland at 2:30, waa delayed by
a peculiar accident about midway be
tween the coast and thia city. Near
Mayger, about fifty-five miles from Port
land, a large log chute runs from the
mountains to the river. In order to
reach the water, the railroad track
haa to be crossed, aud the chute is there
fore carried over an elevated trestle, run
ning at right angles with the track. Ordi
narily loirs slide throuKh the chute and
complete their journey through the
waiur wHiioui a mum, uui, on naiurua
a giant of the forest escaped just as it
reached a point over the railway, and,
falling on the track, smashed everything
with which it came iu contact. Rails
were torn loose, bent and twisted, and
the cause of all tlie disturbance filially
rested directly across the track. Fortu
nately aome one in the vicinity witnessed
tlie occurrence and flagged the train.
Had it Iteen otherwise, a horrible catas
trophe muat certainly have resulted, a
tu unel and curve in the road just east of
the place preventing the engineer from
aeeimt what he was cominii to. It took
about an hour to haul the log off, relay
a portion of the track and all was serene
again.
Big Demand for Lumber. '
Comparatively few persona are aware
of tlie great activity being displayed iu
gobbling up the remaining timber lauds
in this region. People who purchased
large tracts of timber land live or six
years ago and have not been able to dis
pose of them, are now smiling and happy,
and assured of a profitable outcome to
their investments. Persons who neg
lected opportunities to purchase timber
lands at the prices asked two yeara, or
even one year ago, now see where they
let fortunes slip through their fingera,
and are striving to get even by acquir
ing all the timber they can now. There
is no sign of any falling off in lumber
shipping business, which has grown to
unusual proportions of late, and tlie fact
that Portland has become the largest
lumbcr-produciiifc point on the coast
seems only to tend to increase the pro
duction. The market for logs is brisk
at f5 to $8 per 1000 feet, and the loggers
are happy.
Bcaaon Close August 10.
There seems to be a difference of opin
ion among the fishermen aa to when the
fishimr season enda. some claiming that
under the law they can fish until August
15. Huch, however, ia not the case and
the season closes at noon on August 10.
A law passed at the special session ot
tho legislature made the fishing aeason
from April 15 at noon until noon on
August 10. At the regular session a
bill was passed by both houses that ex
tended tlie season five days longer, but
for some uuaccountable reason the en
acting clause was omitted from the bill
and tlie measure ia therefore void. As
a consequence the former bill is now in
force aud our fishing season has been
reduced five daya in length from that of
former years. In place of opening on
April 10, it does not begin until the 15th,
but closes as formerly on August 10.
Astoria Budget.
Determined to Have Roads.
At a meeting of the Astoria Push
Club Monday night it was recommended
that the club undertake to raise, by sub
scriptions, entertainments or any other
way thought advisable, (1,500 to spend
in making and laying puncheon on tho
Nehalem road ttetween tne z-imie anu
13-inilo posts, that all the money col
lected be paid to tlie treasurer of tlie
Push elub and that the president of said
club appoint inspectors of said work;
that when they find the work is well
done the inspectors shall give the person
who did the worn an order on tne treas
urer of tlie club for 50 cents for each rod
laid. It is estimated that the (1,500
will be about half the expense of a good
wauon road from Astoria to Nelialem,
and the Nehalem people are expected to
lay tlie other half. Work is to begin at
once and it is to be hoped that it will be
finished wltliin a year.

FATAL QVN-MHOT ACCIDENT.
Fifteen-Year-old David Whlttlcli.of
Mist, the Victim.
Special to Tm Mist.
Clatbkanik. Aug. 2. Tuesday morn
ing Mr. and Mra, David Wintticfi. resid
ing near Mist, were out near Fishhawk
with their family to gather berries. The
Oldest boy, liuvld, 15 years old laat Jaa
uary, had a 45-70 rifle with him. He
and a comrade, young Jones, got aome
distance from tlie rest of tho family,
and when on a log young Whittich put
ins gun down in front oi nun in aucn a
manner aa to fire it off. The ball en
tered the lower part of his bowels on
the right side, and passing up, came out
at the upper part of his chest, on the
same aide. Ilia parents were aoon at
tlie place, and after doing what they
could to make the boy comfortable, dis
patched young Amea to Clatskauie for
surgical assistance. The father decided
to send the boy to a hospital, and se
curing a team, improvised a cot by means
of a blanket fastened over handles which
were held in the hands of four peraona,
who rode in a wagon and carried tlie in
jured boy ao as to produce the least pos
aible jarring from the motion of the
wagon. In this manner they got him
some five or six miles toward Clatska
uie, when the doctor arrived, and ex
amining the boy, told his father he
would not live to get to the hospital.
He was then taken to the residence of
Joe Aldridge, near by, and later carried
carefully across the river to his father'a
borne, where he died at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, adding one more to the num
ber of fatal accidents from the carrying
ing of loaded tire arms. The boy was
well known in the community, and bis
unexpected and untimely death in so
sad a manner, haa produced a general
feeling of sorrow and sympathy for the
grief-stricken family.

Horse Cannery Again Running.
The establishment at Linnton for
slaughtering horses and salting the meat
for exportation to Europe is again in op
eration. This will be good news to the
owners of range horses who have no
other way of getting rid ot thein except
by letting them starve during the win
ter. Sheep and cattle men, who find
the grass growing shorter and scarcer
year by year, willalso rejoice to see the
herds of useless horses disappear. Even
the sentimentalists who shudder at the
idea of slaughtering horses and sending
the flesh to- the hungry meat-eaters of
Kurope, have come to the conclusion
that it is less cruel to kill and pickle a
horse when he ia fat. and healthy, than
to allow him to die of lingering starva
tion in the winter on the bleak, storm-
swept range, where be is looked upon as
a nuisance. The use of electricity as a
motive power tor street cars signed the
execution warrant of the cayuse horse,
and now the advent of the automobile
has sealed and delivered it. Oregonian.

the sunervis on of Miss Dessie Wilson,
cloaed laat Friday with a very lengthy
programme oi songs ana reciuuions,
some of which were fairly well rendered.
Want of time for preparation excused
tbe deficiency of others.
A message received last week from
Rolla, Mo., announces the death of tlie
little one ao lately given to bless the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Keasey.
But three short weeks was the treasure
lent till the Master called to bear it to
the cherub throng on high.
Dr. Hialt. dentist, from Forest Grove.
has been rusticating for a few weeks
among friends and here and there ex
tracting tlie the distracting molars, in
some cases preparatory to putting in
new and unachable onea. The fond
young mother anxiously awaits the ap
pearance of tne aarling-s nrsi new loom,
while the old mother gladly welcomes
the disappearance of the last old stub.
A very eniovable time was spent by
the family at Homewood ranch on
Thuaday last, being the coining of nearly
forty ot the good people oi veruoniaanu
vicinity who have our sincere thanks
for bringing their lunch, as, not being
apprised oftlie number, we would have
been ill prepared to feed the multi
tude, not even having the five loaves,
yet the few small fishes were there,
which were given to tbe doctor, who
feneroualy divided with the -preacher,
be swing swung out from the banks
of Rock creek, over she rippling water,
carrying its freight of laughing girls,
the small bov waded, the little girls
dashed stones and enjoyed their splash,
while tlie old folks sat in the cool aliade
talking of things past and present, till
near the set of sun, when all returned,
we truat as well pleased as those whom
they came to see.
