OAHTOnt Btanta ylM htA lw HiaHUwujUiM UifuHn r THE ONLY VICTIMS. An Adventure In the Surf on the Weat Coat of Africa. West Africa Is known to ail naviga tor for It few harbors and Its heavy surf, which at certain seasons rages like a battle, defying the white man who would approach its shores. The author of "The Jungle Folk of Africa, Mr. R. II. Mllllgan, tells of a success ful; and to the observers an amusing. effort to reach shore nt a point where the surf did not seem to be Impossible. One day when the beach seemed much better than usual tbe cnptnln and the ship's surgeon ventured ashore. The captain nfterwnrd narrated the adventure of their landing to a small but enthusiastic audience, lie said that after waiting outside the surf half an hour the headman suddenly gave the order, nnd In a moment they were In the breakers, riding on the top of one of them and speeding toward the shore at the rate of "seventy miles an hour." Tbe captain was In the bow of the boat, well braced nnd cushioned. But when the boat struck, the beach with the force of a railway collision the doctor was thrown violently over two thwarts Into the captain's bosom, whom he claspejl nbout the neck with a steel-like grip. The next moment another breaker picked the boat up and hurled (It upon tbe beach, throwing both captnln and doctor to a perfectly safe distnnce. where they sprawled upon the sand. The doctor, still hugging the captain's neck nnd very much frightened, ex claimed: "Oh, captain, dear enptnin. Is there anybody killed but you and me!" . BRAVE SOLDIERS. Sacrificed Their Lives In an Attempt to Save the Colors. In days gone by the Zulus were tbe boldest Hghters among all the na tive of South Africa, and It was not until they had been defeated In sev eral battles that they would live In peace with white people. In 1873 15.000 of the Zulus attacked and killed a regiment of British sol diers, and a most heroic deed was the attempt mnde by three British sol diers to save the two flags, or colors, belonging to tbo regiment. When It was seen that the Zulus were so many that there wns no hope of keeping them at bay the colonel of the British regiment called to a young officer whose name was Lieutenant Melvlll and said, "Yon will take charge of the colors, Melvlll, and try to get away from here." Tbe lieutenant saluted and took Into his hands the two colors of his regi ment. Then, with another officer and a soldier, all mounted on horses, he suddenly dnshed away with his pre cious burden. They were nt once seen by the keen sighted Zulus, however, and after a long chase the three gallant English men, fighting to the last, were killed by the enemy. Some time afterward one of tbe flags was found near a rocky stream, wbere the heroes had fought and died, and It was taken to England and presented to Queen Victoria. And In memory of the three brave soldiers who had died while defending It the queeen placed a wreath of Im mortelles on the staff which held the flag. London Mail.

Wilson, of this city, is In receipt of the following letter from Mr. E. E. Williams, who in company with her husband and son, Ray, are making their borne In Rodlguez, S. L. P., Mexico. The William family for merly resided In this city, where Mr. William was In the grocery business, and Mrs. Williams was prominent In musical circles. After Mr. and Mra. William left here they went to For est Grove, making their home at that place for several year. They are well known In thl city, and their many friends will be interested in the fol lowing letter, which was written on the 16th of March: It will soon be three months since you saw us In Oregon City, and what change have taken place aihce that time. I know you want first of all, to know how we like it. That Is the one question I can't answer off hand. We had a most delightful trip down here perfect weather all the way and a two days' stay in San Antone, Tex., but no place, so far, rivals the Oregon scenery. It is different of course, but no more beautiful or satisfying. Should we go to City of Mexico, we could see more tropical vegltation, but we have not done ao. Oregon Is still first. Everything is different in Mex ico in every way. Tamplco is quite a nice city, and there are a good many Americans In nearly all store Is one man who can understand and talk some English, but there are so very many things we are used to that cannot be found there. It is the rule to have warm or hot weather. Most of the days to date have ranged from 70 to 100. The past month it has kept up to 80 and 100 every day. One day the thermometer registered 104 de grees. We thought we would go un der, sure. We have had so far, three northers, the wind blowing pretty stiff, but soon as it dies down, the sun comes out and is very warm. That is the one principal thing we are wait ing to know about how much beat this portion is subject to. Now for our ranch. We are nearly ten nilles from the railroad, which makes but little difference. Our sta tion is Rodriques, It Is not a town, and only recently been made a post office. Our land Is one great jungle. We are to one side, no clearing around but our own. We have had Mexicans clearing ever since we came. It Is slow work, as the jungle Is a mass of trees kind of thorny, short growth, all bound together with a strong vine. Tha laavaB onnA nut nnlv tn trtn nf the trees, and it festoons alon this Jungle Is so dense you can see Into it only a few feet. Of course there are various kinds of cacti, palms oc casionally and bamboo. The Mexicans use a machete to cut with altogether. You wonder how they can keep It up hour after hour, but they don't work fast and they love to stand and look, and they don't come to work until Monday evening and quit Friday even ing. mere are many ua amma.s-iiger, tigerine, mountain Hon, wolf, coyote, There are many wild animals tiger, leopard, deer, wild hog. We have all of them. Mr. Williams and Ray oc casionally see a tiger. Ray shot a hog and brought It in. He ran onto a bunch of seven last week. Three came out of the brush fence a short distance from the house. They shot at them but they got away. There are snakes of various kinds. I have seen none so far and don't want to. Taran tulas also, are numerous, but they are not so spry as those of Texas; I have seen but one. Ticks and flees have feasted on us, but scarcely a fly or other pests. Our victuals sit around in tbe open and nothing bothers them, but a few gnats. We have about 20 acres in all and partly cleared. We are here In the dry season and can't plant yet, but they tell us the rains are due and then planting will begin, corn principally first; some pine apple and bananas. There are certainly delicious bananas grown here; also pineapples. We are very anxious to have something grow ing. We have half a dozen pine ap ples started, the tops of some we ate. We have learned that they grow right along so we are saving them now. We are a little disappointed because we were led to believe we could plant at any time, but It seems not until the rains come now ,as the ground U so dry. I hope it won't be our misfor tune to strike a drouth, but everything will grow It seems, as soon as soil is worked a little. We are having all the trials of the Inexperienced: Six sows, two mules, two horses. The ticks try to eat them up. Two jersey cows are giving milk. We had all the butter, cream and milk we could use one. of the cows has a ten months' old calf, be took a no tion he wanted milk, so for several milklngs we got none. They tried all kinds of fixings to put on him; all to no use now he Is tied, then the cows found some thing that made the milk taste like garlic. We found the plant, had it cut out; were just catch ing up in the milk when the hot days The Rl IS iver acrei & Andf esen Suspension Bridge Cor. j actually curdled the milk In the cowaT ndder. We then rot caueht nn aealn. Ray hung a big bucket of milk on a limb of a tree while he finished feed ing, but turned around and found on of the mule with it head in the bucket drank every drop, so now we are just getting caught op again. Oh it is great, but It Is no Oregon, that Is tbe most I can say now. and as is only to be expected, I wish we were there. I bad expected to write some time go, but from noon until night nearly every day It is ao hot I can't think, let alone write my brain baa been, 1 still In a sort of whirl. I dont realize we are here for any length of time. I wish some one would send me some post cards of Or egon City. Some Forest Grove friends have been sending us cards. It heloa lots. I would love to see an Oregon City paper once in a while. MRS. E. E. WILLIAMS. Rodriguez, S. L P., Mexico. Charles E. Midlam Insurance Paid.
