Livr Day at thk I'av. nuim bv wu a
lively day at Yaquina lay. Tho yacht race
Mmeofl u auuouoood ami was witnessed by
a large crowd of people. Sevn or eight
yachts on to red tho race but only two or three
were In- u -.1 from seriously. The race wm
from Newport around tho Sand Spit, off W
quina City, twioe. A stiff broese made the
aailora mind th'otr tAokle, but even with the
greatest vigilance one or two catastrophic
happened. Mable, owned by Di Davis, of
YsquinaCity, woa, taking lirat modey, $15;
White Wing, owned by Burroughs Bros, was
ecoud. IlvMlon, owned by Dve Hastings,
a yacht that aold About favorite, mad a poor
record. Too much dipping, they said. Ked

ment among tho spectators. Mr Buford.
Frank Williams, Joe White, Mr Heedkteia
and two others were oa hoard. The Rebecca
hastened to tho t M of the men, all of whom
were saved, though considerably frightened.
We understand some of the parties are dis
satisfied with the result, aud another race
will he sailed.
Barren M.Cii. Skrvick.- Saturday'
Ochoco rVnVrr reached Albanv Mondav
w sr
evening. Heretofore it has never come to
hand before Wednesday evening. This
rapid time Is due to the introduction of a
daily mail route from Prineville lo The
Dalles, which will be. a convenience to
valley people as well ntov Prineville peo
pie. On account of the large number of
our readers interested in Crook county af
fairs, not only through the county, but a
well in Albany, we give clippings each
week of interesting items from the two live
Prineville papers.
Nkolkct. About a week ago J. II.
Kuhn, editor of the Long Creek Eagle,
tried to commit suicide by shooting himself
with some leads but he failed to lock the
forms tight enough and the thing went
through. He will !ive. It was all m ac
count of his girl going back on him. We
. knew about the matter the next day after
it happened ; but were so much ashamed
of the affair that we did not mention it.
We do so reluctantly now.
Game Law. Cnder this law grouse and
pheasants can now be killed begirAiing
with the 15th, That was Sunday. The
event was anticipated a little resulting in a
large number of grouse for Sunday din
nee. In the matter of pheasants it is cus
tomary to bring them in already dressed,
and many declare that the appearance of
the flesh has changed in a remarkable man
ner in the last year or two.
Incihibxt. Saturday evening the incip
ient blazes of a thirty round pugilistic con
test tbred upoppoite the postoffice. One
fellow finally yelled, "can't you quit" in
such a dampening way that it put the pu
gilistic conflagration out. No arrests.
Iced Am. A great recommendation for
the eastern theater this summer i iced
air. It is the only thing tnat draws so hot
are the evenings. Here evenings we hare
icsd air perennially. Nature docs it by
vending fresh sea breeze oer the moun
tains, and our nights are not only bearable
but a welcome time of the day.
ExTKk.PRiK. Mr. L Martin, of Ash
land, sends his peaches to market done up
in paper, the boxes nicely labeled show ing
tust where thev come from. Mr. Martin
er
has no difficulty in selling all the peaches
he can raise, and soon the cry will be gen
erally for the Martin peach This kind of
interprise always counts.
Recovering. Mr. John Gilliland, of
Sweet Home, arrived in the city lost Mon
day. He reports young Minnaoe, who wa
shot in the head recently, as slowly im
proving with good prospects of recovering.
This is a remarkable case of vitality. Mr.
G. says a comparatively small number of
deer hunters have gone into the mountains
yet.
Foor Barr. The 100 yard toot rave ran in
Portia id Muday between Cameron, of
Owfala, aud llirsch, of Portland, was won
by Cameron by about uix inches. Time,
10 12 second Considerable money
ehauged bandi, some of which will come to
Albany.
Corvallis and Albany men together won
about 91000 off Portland men, and now feel
as if they wore about eyeu with that city 00
Account of the shameful manner in wbuh the
Albany boy a were swindled out of several
prizes woo at the Portland touroameut.
Large -Shipment. The Willamette
Packing Co.bejan t'le shipment last Mon
noon of 3000 ca-.es of fruit to Portland,
that amount having been already put up.
The company is doing excellent work, and
are sending out some canned fruit as nice
ly put up and as fine a variety a any
canned in the Northwest
A Bu; Bet.- This noon Mr. Hyman,
the rustling clothing man, of San Francis
co, and Mr. I . B. Montetth, of this city,
madcHhe largest wager on the presidential
election yet made in this part of Oregon.
The amount was $1000 to $900, Mr. Flin
man putting up the former amount on
Cleveland, and Mr. Montcith the latter on
I larriacn. The Linn Co. bank is the stake
holder, Lr the Cauboohk Wednesday Police
Oiicers McClain and Buikbart took in three
semi-tramps who were having a big time At
the depot. Two knives, a pocket book ai.d
tbirtj-fiya cents in money was the total sum
of tlieir worldly wealth. One of them com
plained because there waa 00 hook in the
calibooee for his coat. Abont the aame time
Marshal Hayes lauded Mr. Cray ton. Cherry
& Parkea expert blacksmith, in the cab boose
for being drunk and disorderly. Ho had
ou:y been let out ot it aDout two noars
before.
Felt. Fifteitw Feet. A few days ago
Mrs. Hughe", and little daughter were
walking al-mg the Oregon Pacific railroad,
across t'.e river, when they met a railroad
blzycjj, just as they were crossing a trestle
Injrdtcppingone side to let the bicycle pass
shcy fell over to the ground below a dis-
tancc of fully fifteen feet. Fortunately
they were not seriously injured, and are
all right now. 1
Imported. The Portland ball club im
ported six crack players from the East, and
then the East Portland club beat them as
easily as a poor man buys tickets for a cir
cus. The Parrots arc equal to several
clubs themselves. It pays to patronize
home industry.
O.LD Papers. -Eastern Oregon editors
sell old paper for 50 cents a hundred. . The
Democrat is more generous and will part
with thim put up in packages for 25c a
hundred. There is nothing small about us
when we are added and divided.

Crook Cot'NTY. Two vounu ladles of
Willamette valley desire to secure poal
Hons ns teachers In Crook county. Dot!
arc successful teachers and hold first grade
certificates. ... It always pAys to adver
tise for anything that is wanted and Ihe
benefits to be derived thereby are brought
to notice almost daily. Sometime since
we advertised for a minister for Priuevllle,
and last week Rev. Molloy arrived here,
having seen the advertisement, and will
probably remain with us ... , Less building
has been done in Priuevllle this summer
than for many seasons part. The scare
ty of money is the main cause, not n lack
of confidence In the ftitttrc-of the town as
manv seem to believe Crook county
has one of the best jails m Oregon, but ft
has been unoccupied since the first of
April laat. It Is better for the tax payers
that things are thusly than if the jail "had

A Narrow Escapr F. S. GtandonJ
living near McCoy, Polk county, ahd a
hired man Saturday had a most thrilling
rexperience and a narrow escape from death
from collision with the west aide up bound
passenger train. Mr. Glundon and his man
sometime after ten o'clock, hitched up the
work team to the farm wagon, and started
for McCoy, not far distant. On the way
they had to cross the west side in a wheat
field. It appears that trfey did not notice
the approach of the iraln, for when they
got on the track It was so close upon them
that they ii.nl to jump for their lives. The
cowcatcher struck the two horses and liter
ally disemboweled them both, and com
pletely demolished the wagon. How Mr.
GlanJon and his man escaped without In
jury is a mystery. It is said that the train
approached entirely without warning, and
that when tin men discovered It, it was so
nvar that they had not time to save the
horses which were valuable. -Stntmt$i.
Basted. Mr. Bur'enshaw mentioned in
the following item is a former resident of
this county : "At Farmington.on Monday
last, L. L. Burtenshaw bad some difficulty
with a character known throughout the
country as "Russian Bob." After consid
erable wrangling hetween the two partlee,
the matter was apparently settled and" Bob"
exhibited great friendliness toward Mr.
Burte.ishaw and invited him to come up
alongside and engage hi a little friendly
conversation. W hlle thus engaged, and at
a time Mr. Burtenshaw's attention waa at
tracted in another direction Bob" basted
him across the side of the head with a beer
bottle, laying Iuthcr low and rendering
him unconscious." Ex.
A Gt'N Accident. - Dispatches from
Dayton, W. T., stale that yesterday Itlar
ence Kuhn, aged fifteen, and Guy Cook
aged seventeen, were out hunting fifteen
miles from Dayton. The two were on one
horse with a shotgun that was loaded
They saw some grouse, and in some way
both fell off the horse. In the fall the gun
went off and Kuhn was shot in the back,
and Cook in the bin. The wourvls are fe
rrous. The boys live at Dayton. Young
Kuh.i's patents once resided in Albany.
A Pli-m Trek. -While in Albany re

It produces five varieties of plums, each
variety being separate and distinct from the
Others, bo: hin size, color, shape and flavor.
The tree is literally loaded with fruit, one
variety of which was ripe and this is an
other accommodating feature, no two vari
eties ripen at the same time.
A Bc'RolaR. Tuesday morning about 3

Albany again after an absence of five
years, during which time he paid a visit to
China ; but has resided in California most
of the time. He came from San Diego
here, and says that city is all "busted." No
good any more. He will make Albany his
home, lie is considerably surprised at the
great improvements made here, and thinks
this is a good enough place for him, par
ucuiariy, wnen compared to the once
booming cities of California.

THK PIONKF.IW.
Following is tho address of Mrs. KlUa
Warren, of Brownsville, delivered at the
Pioneer'N Re-union, held atCrawfordsvllle
on June J8th, Coming from tho first
white born person in Oregon, one whose
name was connected with some of the
most startling events of the pioneer days of
the Northwest, the address Is one ofgrea
Interest :
I think. 1 wilt first have to say that this is
a very embarrassing position for me to un
dertake. Never haying practice nor expe
rience In speaking or reading In public, and
but little couragc.putting all together mak
ing It very embarrassing indeed. Nor do I
think I would have undertaken It now, but
1 have been so often solicited to say or
write something, that I had about made up
my mind that ill ever Intended to say any
thing, It was about time to make a start, I
was also impressed with a notice which I
saw In the Oregonia a short time ago, that
Geo. II. I limes, Secretary of the Pioneer
Association at Portland had published, In
which he said that much valuable matter
t hat mfght have been preserved is now lost
because pioneers have not fully readied
their responalbility to those who are to fol
low. Heath has made sad havoc In the
ranks during the past .year. Itt a few years
there will be none left to tell the torv, and
the places that now know us will know us
no more. Many of you know, no doubt,
that I am an olJ Oregonlan. Mr. and Mrs.
Spalding were my parents, and In com
pany with ur. whitman ana wue cume 10
Oregon in 1H36, as Missionaries to the In-
dlans, My mother and Mrs. Whitman were
the first white women that crossed the
Rocky Mountains. They were obliged lo
travel horse-back moat of the way. And
considering the hardships and. dangers
through which they had to pass, It wa a
wonderful that thev could survive sucri a
trip, my mother's health being very poor
must of the time. I was born in Oregon,
in 1837. It was Oregon Territory at that
time . but since hAe been divided into
Idaho Territory And Washington Terri
tory, and State of Oregon, which makes
my birth-place In Idaho where the Lapway
Agency Is now altttatcu. My father ami
mother were with the Nex Perce Indians,
Dr. Whitman ami wife were with the Cav-
use Indians near where the city of Wafla
WalJa now stands, and one hundred mile
from where we lived. They wcrtfour naar
est neighbors. We lived there till I was
ten years old, so you see 1 had no school
advantageathen. ' 1 became quite well ac
quainted with the ways and cuatomsof the
Indians, anc! could peak their language as
well a mv own. Father and mother taught
them so that many of them could read and
w rite quite well Iu their own language, and
some to card and apin and weave quite
nicelv. We have witnessed their war
lances, their sham fights and other perform
ances, we traveled over tne country norae
back And with pack horses the same aa the
Indians and camp where night would over
take us, crossing the rivers In canoes aud
swimming our horses. But once we were
caught, we attempted to ford the Clear
Water River where LewUton Is now situ
ated and got Into swimming water, of
course we had to stem It through. It was
night and we had ten miles yet to go before
we reached home, the weather was cold
and ohr clothes were soon froaen. There
Is hardly a day passes but what my mcmory
wandcrs back to those childhood dat a and
scenes. In the ta.l there would be some
emigrant families that would stop at Dr.
- . 7. a a. a a .
w hitman to spciui uie wnier ana rei
themselves and their worn-out team, com
ing on to this Valley In the spring. Of
course there would be enough children to
have school during the winter. When 1
wa nine years old my parents sent me over
to attend school that winter. Father was
so buv Hecou!d not lake me and they sent
me in '.he care of an Indian woman. Hhe
helped my mother about the house a good
deal. We were out three days and two
nights alone. 1 doubt whether there is a
mother in this assembly who would risk
her child In that way nut I was perfectly
safe in her care. The next winter when
1 was ten vears old my father toak me
over to attend school again. That U how
f came to be there at the massacre, wlwu
the Indians murdered Dr. Whitman And
wife And twelve of the emigrant men. It
was the first day of tdMMI and near the
hour of noon when the crash was made. It
seems I can air
most hear the Indian war
whoop, the firing of guns, and the running
too arid fro. We poor frightened children
huddled together and tried to hide, but they
soon found us and brought us out. 1 felt
sure our time had come, and I put my
apron to my face so I would not ace Ihe
guns pointed at us. For some reason they
did not murder the women and children,
but held us as captives for three weeks.
We were ransomed bv the Hudson Hay
Company who were commanding at Van
couver at that time. In a few days my
mother received word of what had hap
pened at Dr. Whitman' ; of course she
was frantic. She sent two of our Indians
at once to see what hod become of father
and myself. When they came they thought
they would take me right home, but the
Indians would not let ine go. Timothy
was the name of one of the Indians who
came for .me. When he told me that they
could not take me, the Indiana would ifot
let mc go, I then, for the first time, broke
down in tears. It seemed as if my heart
would bursL Timothy wiped the tears
from my face, and said, "poor Elixa don .
cry you shall see your mother." Father had
a very narrow escape in getting back home,
was out six days and nights without any
thing to eat. We all came down the Col
umbia Kivcr In open boats In December
and had a severe trip. In 1H48 we moved
up tothis Valley near where Brownsville
is now-Mtoatcd. In ict mv mother died
and was the first person buried at the cem
etery near Brownsville. Number the
graves that are there now. Neighbors were
scarce and far between, It was thought
nothing to walk three or four miles to visit
each other. We lived in small log houses
generally consisting of one room. Our
cooking was done by the fire place. V tsitors
generally remained over night in those
days, in visiting we -.would often take
some article of food which wc thought our
neighbor would not have, and go for miles
to church on horseback or with ox teams.
But those were good old times, it does me
good to think of them now. But again we
feel sad when wc realize that there arc but
few left now that were the older ones then.
And how Is it now with those that were in
their youth then ? Many of us are now
with our heads silvered over with the frosts
of many winters. Our cheeks are furrow
ed, our bodies are tent, and time has laid
his hands heavily on most of us. (Air
hearts are weeping for the loved ones that
have been taken from us. We are thank
ful that a goodly number are still permit
ted to meet on this occasion, and hope and
pray that there will be many more rc-un-lons
for us in the future.

Will any Republican solve the following
problem for me ? Why is It that the Repub
lican wool buyers who think that Harrison
will be elected and that the Mills bill will
not pass, and consequently no tariff taken
off wool, have been and are now offering
less for wool than I am, who believes that
Cleveland will be elected and that the reve
nues of the government will be reduced to
a point to meet the just demands of the
government only ? In order to satisfy your
self who pays the least price look around
