Heroic Action
- A Denver paper contains ncwa
of the heroic action of Miss Ruth
Ragan, in saving the life of a
young lady from drowning. Miss
Ragan and a Miss Page were on
board ship bound from San
Francisco to Japan when a heavy
sea was encountered and the
boat listed so heavily that Miss
Tage was swept from the deck
out into the sea. Miss Ragan
was standing with her near the
rail when the accident occurred
and, without an instant's hesita
tion, she threw off her wraps
and plunged over after her
friend. A life boat was at once
sent to the rescue and despite the
terrific sea, Miss Ragan sus
tained her friend until the boat
reached them. Miss Ragan is a
sister to Fred Ragan, a trusted
employe of the 8L Helens Mill,
and was visiting in St, Helens a
few weeks ago.

Ing in Portland this week.
Fred Floeter was down
from
his mountain home a few days
ago and told us about the cougar
he killed. We never saw a cou
gar, but from what he said we
think he must have been a very
large one, he said it was twenty
seven feet long and an inch high,
and that he had three rows of
teeth and holes punched for more.
As we have never caught Fred
monkeying with the truth, we
brieve it.
Our genial and happy faced
postmaster, N. O. Larabea tran
sacted business in St. Helens
last Saturday and reports the
roads in fine condition, and
wanted us to advise all auto
parties to take the road to Tren
holm.
A small party from Houlton
Manse Chambers, Geo, White and
and the Tonsorial Artist invaded
our quiet little hamlet last Sun
day and transferred several doz
en salmon trout from our numer
ous creeks to their baskets. One
of the above named gentlemen
met with quite a misfortune on
his way out here, It seems the
team got frightened and in the
excitement ho lost the H I to his
think tank, but our obliging milli
ng trimmed one for him in a
very short time, so that he Hid
not suiter any inconvenience.
