THEIR MORNING WALK.-
T
It was very narrow escape.
It happened in the Corvallis S3W
mill the other night. The machin
ery was in notion as Charles; Bard
well stepped over a shaft. -' The
pin in a collar n the, shaft "caughfj
toe lower portion ot his ; overalls.
Slowly but surely the leg" of the ov
eralls began to wind aronnd - the
rhaft. Closer and closer the- limb
was drawn down to the revolving
piece of steel V , The victim .shouted
and fortunately the mill operatives
heard. Fortunately, also, the ma
chinery was not running-' at full
speed, The wheels were quickly
stopped, ana in the nick ot time.
But a fraction of one more turn of
the shaft would have broken : the
limb.
Plans are materializing for an
extension of the C & E track along
Water street to the Corvallis saw
mill. ' Superintendent Sullivan was
in town Thursday, and with Maria
ger Strong went over the ground to
ascertain the feasibility of .the
scheme. It is understood that the
mill people have offered lt6: furnish
.the ties as an' inducement to the
railroad to put in the extension.
No announcrmeut as to whether or
not : the plan will materialize has
been made, but it is known to be
in contemplation, ' " ' J ' ? " f ' "

when they arrived on the bank, of

Emmett wasn't lost he had hunted

A citizen remarked yesterday
upon tne apathy 1 with respect to
issues In the present political, cairi-
paign, and 'added that, after all', it
was just as well - Another said
there may be lack of interest in
political issues, but it is more than
counterbalanced by growth of in

quor or no liquor in Benton: Every
where, be said, the question of
whether", the saloons are to be
banished, is discussed, both in town
and country ; districts. .1 The ques
tion, he said; completely over
shadows presidential issues. In

Without Breakfast and on an Unknown
Path How Senator Avery
Journeyed.
: 1 he man who : journeyed with
him. tells this abont "how Senator
Avery recently traveled to ,Corva"
lis; The two, one of whom was
Abe Woods, were enrout by train j
from Eugene. The question -" of
whether they should go to Albany
vnd hire a rig, or foot it over from
Tangent came up. Avery , was for
the Albany method, and :. Woods
for the Tangent route. At 5:. last
Avery rami; over, to Wo d's way
of thinking, and at four o'clock on
a, Sunday morning,t, they, hoofed it
out of Tangent t on the, seven or
eight mile walk to Corval!is.r ;-.
L Of breakfast, ' there a none,
for the farmers all along the way
were, still abed; ' Wop-Is' vowed tie,
knew the way well,"," and Avery
trusted everything 10 him"; -V, '
' They leacted the Calipooia
bridge all right, but . there . they
took the wrong road " Meantime,
according to Woods, "the senator
was getting leg weary , and was
disposed to lag behind. One time
he looked backand'saw Avery 400
eating
g-apes in a tarmera dooryard.
All this time they wers steering in
the wrong direction,' and it was not
until they had gone four expensive
miles out of their way that they
discovered the horrible truth.
"The Sunday school bells were
ringing7 and the forenoon was far
spent when two leg-worn footmen,
dusty with the 14 miles walk with
out breakfast, limped into town
and headed straight for some friend
ly spot on which to sit and - rest
their tired bones J' Senator Avery's

' As a result of the assault, school

never againwill they play Albany,
