John Dutfey has been running a little garden patch on the Willamette river near the mouth of Pennywinkle creek since 1891, living in a little coffee or hut all alone, doing his work and coming to the city when he had things to sell. coming sometimes only at rare intervals, out generally returning nome at night, wnen ne aw, wen intoxicated, running nis wuee. narrow oetore mm in a jagged course He made his last trip on last truJay night N Air. hmil Etter testified before the coroner's jury that he left the Last Chance saloon about 10 o'clock consid erably under the influence of liquor. Mrs. Savage teetitied that she heard a man and wheelbarrew go by her house between 10 and 11 o'clock that night. Mr Sacrey is the neanst neighbor. Duffey was not seen at all on Saturday, Sunday morning Ed Sacrey in running down to Pennywinkle creek after a chicken found the body of Duffev lying face down in about six inches of water. He bad undoubtedly on Fridiy night missed the path to his hut and walked off the bank, about forty feet high. The indications were that he had laid there for some time. There was a cut in his forehead showing that he had structc something. His wheelbarrow was found about half way down the bank, haviug caught on the bushes. Coroner Wruht, of Harrisburg. was notified and last evening called a jury and examined into it, boding that the deceased bad come to his death by accidental drowning John Duffev came to A'bany from Cottage Grove in about 1890 and had lived most of the time near the place of his death. He wan seventy-six years of age, had been married, and bad two children and a sister living somewhere; bnt little is known of his past. It has been reported that Duffey was worth $20,000 in Minnesota property and that he had money at interest in Oregon ; but it is doubtful if this is a fact. Lake Cocxtt.

He says tbe rain is working a great hardship upon the farm' ing community in Lane, Linn and Ben ton counties. One man has 400 acres of wheat standing in the shock, a portion of which is "fall" grain, and there are many largo fields where the threshers have not been set. Where a hop yard is free from mould there are numerous persons actively engaged in gathering tbe crop. Pagceb Report.

He closes : "Tbe conditions today are favorable for clear ing and fair weather; a period of pleas ant weather should now prevail." . A Curiosity.

We have been so busy in the harvest field tbat we have not had any time to write to the Democrat for some time and we presume every correspondent has been doing 'lkewise and now the nice refreshing showers have come and the harvest work has been laid aside lor a few days until tbe grain gets dry enough to thresh and we can safely say that there is one half ot the spring grain that is not threshed yet and if it still continues to be wet weather it will be damagtd to some extent, but we are in hopes it will clear off and give tbe farm ers a chance to save their grain, for there is a bountiful crop in the Willam ette vallev. This vear both all and spring grain have yielded well. Mr, George Mills and wile of Mt An gel, have been visiting his parents, Mr and Mrs Mills of Tangent Tbe former is an employe on tbe S. P. as agent at Mount Angel and baa returned to bis home. Mr Granvil Smith and wile of Drain, have been visiting his parents in Tan gent last week. He is an employe of tbe S.

Quite a lot of Tangent people have went to the hop fields but they will wish they were at home instead of being down there in all this rain. Little Rose Bud was seen upon our streets one day last week and informs ns that Belinda Jane has been very busy in the harvest field. Will she be kind I enough to invite us down thereto help eat watermelons. e hope so. You so Amkkica. Fbom Seaqcav. Mr. John Bechtel, who is on bis way from Albany to Klon dike, writes to an Albany friend that he is in the bloctade at Skagnay and will probably wait there until February, when he will attempt to go over on tba enow and ice. Now there is a big rain that has made the White route practi cally impassable and it is expected to continue.

Simpson's Mistake Simpson, the Oregon poet, In his beau tiful "Ode to the Willamette," says, "Time that mars ne, mains and scars us, leave no track or trench on thee," but a person coming down the river at the present time, says tbe McMinnville Re porter, would come to tbe conclusion that Father Time is making as much of an impression on the river he is on tbe human race. Tbe rivet is changing and shifting con tinually; land that was on this side five years ago now is in the middle of the river, and that was in Ysmbill coonty ten years ago is now In Marion coonty. At other places land that mas in Marion coonty is now in Ysmbill. It f not known in tbe fall in what channel tbe river will be in tbe spring. In some places the river runs in tws cbaanets, and at this time of the year it is only by continooui hard work that the boats can be kept running. Capt. Hatch with thi new U. S. snag boat, Mathaloma. has about thirty-five men employed building wing dams to throw a'l tbe water into one channel, driving piling and filling in with dirt and fascines to keep the waier from cutting through tbe sioogbs.

Tbe boat u so constructed that it can be taken apart in four sections. me dividing lines being the keel and about midway, crosswise Each section weighs just 75 pounds, and it it intended to be portable in order that it may be eaauy taken across tbe mountain passe. Only a few minutes are required to put tbe sections together when required for navigation. The boat is furnished with small but strong bobs, so tbat it can be converted into an acceptable sledge. Tbe runners ot tbe bobs are arranged so tbat the bottom shoes can be removed, leav ing a set of good skate for running on Ice. l b it makes tbe boat an all-round vehicle for snow or ice, and a commodi ous means of water travel.
