Corvallis Times CORVALLIS, OREGON, TUESDAY EVENING JULY 17, J 906. MORE DOTAGE WANTED i If, as Senator Fulton says, Sec retary Hitchcock is in his "dotage" Dr. Osier is a badly mistaken man. With Hitchcock as the test, it is not old men '-in theit dotage" that ought to be chloroformed, but rath er some of the young men like Pu ter. McKinlev. and kindred ilk. What the layman knows ofSecre tarv Hitchcock is, that the limit of his offending seems to have been the prosecution of certain persons who had robbed the people of Oregon of vast tracts of the public domain The scandal of this 1 robbery and pillage was everywhere bruited be fore the prosecutions began, and ev erywhere there was a scanning of the horizon for some strong arm that -would put an end to it. Even then it was believed that persons in high places were in league with the robbers and that dislodgement of the criminals from their strong holds and prosecution of them would he well niffh imoossible. It was then that the old man they now sav is in his dotaee appeared, and the result of his probity and intrep . idity is men., in highest places of public confidence and honor un- . masked, confronted with their guilt, charged with their criminal ity by prosecutors, convicted of it by juries, and condemned foi it by courts. If Mr. Hitchcock had not done these things, would Senator Fulton have done it. and by it have . saved the little of their public do main that was left to the people of Oregon ? If what Secretary Hitchcock has done is because of "dotage" -then God save to us the men who are in their dotage, and give us more of them. THEIR REUNION.

Next Saturday ail the family are to jour ney to Newport for a day or two, where the pleasurable reunion will be continued. The coming of the Heckers to Oregon dates away back to the for ties and fifties and through the long period that has intervened they have borne an honorable and amiable name.

Tom Vidito has numerous bruises and scratches about his person, and by that token there is a story to tell. He was enroute from Albany to Corvallis Saturday evening, be ing alone in a buggy. At the prune farm the railroad crosses tha road and in such a way that the track and the adjoining fence on the right hand side of the road com ing this way form a letter V. As Tom was just starting to cross the track he discovered suddenly that the evening train was almost up on him. There was not time to cross ahead of it. Nor was there time to get out of the V-shaped corner. ", He leaped from his buggy and seized his horses by the bridle bits. Taking fright at the train, tney reared and plunged, seeming ly determined to throw themselves against the passing cars. Tom was finally dragged under their feet, in which position he received the bruises referred to. He hung however, to the reins, and between the fence the cars and himself, the horses were forced to stand until the last car passed, thoueh their protest against the proceeding was as violent as it was constant. No damage was done beyond the wear and tear on Tom's hide, which na tnre will attend to in time. The unaccountable in the affair is how Mr. Vidito allowed the train to get so near him, since he solemnly avers that while he knows he will be accused of it, not one drop of Albany bootleg figured in the incident. LIFTED A STONE. And Blood vessel Burst in Brain Passing of J. P. McBee Another Pioneer. The funeral of the late J. P. McBee. one of the substantial citi zens of Benton county, occurred from the family residence near In dependence school house Sunday. ine interment was in JNewton s cemetery, and was attended by a large concourse of relatives and friends. The , funeral service was conducted by Rev. M. S. Bush. Mr. McBee died Saturday morning, after an illness of only a few days. The cause of death was an abscess on the train, and is believed to have been caused by. the rnpture of a blood vessel sustained wl ile Mr. McBee was lifting heavily during the removal of a woodshed. He was about his duties as usual after that, but a week before his death he became violently ill and in spite of medical aid, finally succumbed. A short time before the end he be came partially paralyzed. Mr. McBee. was a thrifty farmer, and was one of the biggest land owners in the county. He was born in Ray county, Missouri, Sep tember, i 1849. He came to Ore gon with his parents, traveling by ox team across the plains in 1852, and settled on the old dona tion claim in the Willamette river bottom, a dozen miles south of Corvallis. About 1870 he moved on his own home place on the prairie, where he resided un til his recent occupancy of the farm home near Beulah church. He was a brother of Joseph and W. H. McBee and of David McBee, of Lane county, and a sister of Mrs. T. W. B. Smith of Benton. The surviving members of the family are, besides the widow, Edna and Elsie. - daughters, and James and William, sons. Mr. McBee was an excellent citizen, and an honor able man.

For a live serial story in accidents and mishans. the Sonthm-n Tan . u a. amv, tram on which S. L,. Kline journey eu flome irom oan Francisco, and which finally reached Albany Sun day deserves commendation. It was a train that ill luck seemed to follow, and it is the wonder of the passeneers now as thev lnnthoxi. that something desperate didn't happen. After Hornbrook was reached the train's progress was a continued chapter of accidents." A telegram at Hornbrook, ordered the train to remain there for further orders on account of -a wreck. Af ter four hours a start was made, and by and by the scene of the wreck was reached. A magnificent locomotive of the largest type and 17 ireigm cars were piled up in a splintered and incongruous mass. The operatives had lost control of the freight train and it had run away down the Siskiyou mountain side. At the first sharp curve the big speeding locomotive had left the track taking the cars with it, killing the engineer and brakeman and injuring others. That was the beginning of the delays and mishaps. After that came an ac cident in which the train ran over a man. He was on the track and was struck by the cow catcher Half an hour was spent in getting aim on ine train and in trying to keep the fleeting life in him. Whether or not he died, the pas sengers did not learn. At Rose- burg they took on a new locc-mo tiye and after they had journeyed nine miles something in it gave way, ana the train had to stop and wait for another engine to be brought from Roseburg to take them along their way. At Junction an exactly similar difficulty was en countered, and another considerable aeiay was occasioned as a result. But all these experiences were tri fling compared to another hair raising accident that overtook them. When a train is behind time into of,things go wrong. In this instance r : i a ... a uci&ut irain was traveling on tne passenger's time. It was a train drawn by three locomotives. Fin ally as a precaution one of. the lo comotives was sent ahead to flag tne on-coming passenger, It col iiaea neaa on into the train it was looking for, and both locomotives were demolished. Both engineers were severely injured, but the pas seneers escaned tinrnirt-. Mr Kline finally got home with all his Done-s intact and his neck unbroken and is correspondingly thankful that the ill-omened journey is all over, and that it was do worse.
