Two boatmen narrowlv escaped
death in the bay at Yaquina a
night or two ago. Heavy ship

Portland ae made every day and
the tran-po t it o 1 is by team to
Newport, .u d thercc via boat and
rail to the destination. The trans
fer from Smth B.-ach to Newport
is by row boat. Lee Dutv and Sea
Lion Charley of Newp-.rt. had two
tons of fish to thus transfer, and a
heavy blow was on lrom the south
'ard. On the first trip over just as
they reached the Newport wharf
their boat swamped and it was only
with difficulty that their cargo was
saved. There were suggestions for
them not to make another trip, but
no heed was paid to the warnings
They set out, and reached South
beach in safety. There they put
on 2,300 pounds of salmon and
starfed back. When the middle of
the channel off Newport was reach
ed, their boat swamped. The bay

Seventy three pounds is the
weight of a squash displayed in the
real estate office of Amb!er & Wat
ters. It is not so much its size as
the harmony of its proportions that
makes it interesting. It was grown
on the farm of John Beach near
Corvallis. Two other squashes on
the same shelf with the big one are
also interesting to see. Both are of
the acorn variety and in a crude
way resemble the acorn in shape.
One of them is remarkable for its

And They had to Take Him to the In
sane Asylum Corvallis Boys
Have the Habit.
Of evenings now, and perhaps at
other times, groups of little boys
are often observable smoking cigar
ettes. Half a dozen of them, some
under a dozen years of age, stood
about and sucked the deadly snipes
for half an hour, near the C. & E.
depot the other night. Once the
habic was nearly if not entirely
broken up, in this town, but ap
parently vigilance has relaxed and
the boys are at it again. The mat
ter is mentioned here in order that
all parents may be warned, whence
they can keep a guardian eye on
their youngsters. The following
timely incident, told in a dispatch
yesterday, shows whither boys who
smoke cigarettes may be. drifting.
The dispatch is dated St. Louis,
Missouri, and says:
"Daniel J. O'Conner, aged thirty
two, is a patient in the City Hos
pital, suffering from incipient pare
sis as the result from smoking cigar
ettes. He was a hardware dealer
but had to give up business.
"His lips were blue, and he was
so nervous that he trembled from
head to foot. At times he was al
most violent.
'Cigarettes cid it all' 1 he said
at the hospital. 'I have not been
able to work for two years. I want
to smoke night and day. I go all
to pieces wtun I haven't a cigarette
in my mouth.'
"O'Connor said he smoked from
two to four one Jounce packages of
tobacco each day making himself
thirty to forty cigatettes out of each
A new fish ladder is in operation
at the Corvallis Mills dam on Marys
river. It was put in by the Mill
interests on the order of Game
Warden Baker to whom complaint
is said to have been made by res
idents along the stream and its tri
butaries. Their claim is that the
dam prevents trout from ascending
the streams to spawn and that the
stock of fish in them is thereby
lareelv depleted. It is also com
plained that the fishermen talfe
many ot the trout thus arAd
below the dam.
The ladder is a curious contriv
ance about six feet wide. Its sides
are long strips of two by twelve
inch lumber, forming a flume. Ex
tending crosswise from each side,
but set at an angle are pieces two
by eight. These cross pieces lack
about a foot of meeting in the
middle, which leaves the center of
the flume or ladder unobstiucted.
Through these midwise openings
between the cross pieces the ascend
ing fish pass, dodging each time
usually to one side or the other,
where the cross piece makes eddy
water, and in which they can re
main without difficulty- By these
several steps the fish gradually as
cend the ladder, passing out at the
upper end and pursuing their way
up stream to spawn. The new lad
der is set on the lower side of the
dam, extending from the water be
low to the top of the dam, and
standing at ail aDgl of about forty
degrees.
Game Warden Baker has given
notice that the fishing at the dam
must cease until next April, when
the open season lor trout begins
! again. The close season began the
first of the current month and will
continue six months. The order
has gone forth that all persons
caught fishing at the dam mean
time must be arrested and prosecuted.
