Drownd.
Mr. Ans. Kraus and wife came across the.
Tualatin in a wagon Wednesday morning at
Cornelius, says the Independent, ond started
back , but the water had risen seven- or eight
feet and they could not get over. They got
a boat and started over the swollen flood
about dark, but - the boat it is supposed
turned over and the victims caught Oh a
stump and screamed for help. Mr. R.
McNutt and others could hear them cream
ing and praying for help, but it was dark as
pitch and there was no boat within miles,
and they were compelled to leave them to
their fate. In the morning Mr. Shaw, who
lives on the opposite side of the river, and
others went in a boat to their rescue, and
fonnd the couple on a stump, both appar
ently lifeless. They had laid there 13J
hours, and it is likely chilled to death. Mr.
Kraus lived about three-quarters of a mile
south of Cornelius.
Christmas Gift.
One of Corvallis' beautiful bells when no

supposed no one was in hearing distance,
and while she was sitting in the dim twi
light by the window reflecting over the
many presents which would be bestowed
upon different ones in the vicinity during
the coming holidays, She forgetfully com
menced talking to herselt and in the con
versation she was recounting these things
which herself and some of her friends would
like to have . She went alone some lencth
naming the nice things which some of her
friends would like until she came to herself
when she remarked in a little louder tone
of voice than theretofore to the effect that
sue Hoped oantaclaus would bring her a
husband. At that particular time the lis
tener near by made some little' noise and
the talking ceased.

: . Killed.
Jefferson Simpson, about 20 years of a:
and a son of Henderson Simpson of Polk
county, was almost instantly killed las
week at the loging camp in King's valley,
by a log accidentally roiling over him. A
great many accidents of this kind happen
of, late. They appear to be more frequent
than formerly. Every few months we see
through the papers of similar accidents
happening at other places.
Sickness.
A great deal of sickness prevails in and
about Monroe. The prevailing disorders
appear to be. erysipalas and lung fever. We
are creditably informed that a large number
of persons some of which have been severe
ly sick and others are now afflicted with
these complaints. Dr. Taylor of that place
for some time has been riding almost' night
and day to attend to the wants of the sick.
Christmas Tree.
At Monroe two Christmas trees are to be
held in the church there. They concluded
to have two because one will not be suffi
ciently large to hold the abundance of pres
ents which are being secured for the occa
sion. A short entertainment with interest
ing and attractive exercises will precede the
distribution of the presents.- A general
good-time is expected.
Three Persons DrOWnsld While Crossing -Ta-quina
Bay After Might.
A very sad affair occured on Wednesday
evening of last week when George Stephens,
Daniel Simpson and David Dean were cap
sized while in a boat and drowned. It
seems that they had been at work on the
government works at Yaquina bay on south
beech. After the days work was ended in
the evening they started home to Newport
in a skiff. The bay was quite rough and
the night was also so dark that it was dif
ficult to see plainly. They came along very
well until they reached about the middle
of the main channel, when the large swell
that struck their boat capsized it and all
therein went overboard. Their shrieks
were plainly heard by those on the bank at
Newport. In less time than it takes to tell
it several hundred people were on the bank
and' boats were sent out, but so rough was
the water and dark the night that no assis
tance could bo rendered. In fact others
who went out to assist came near meeting a
similar fate. The boat in which those
drowned were attempting to cross the bay
was fonud the next day stove to pieces on
the beach. The bodies of the drowned men
had net been found at last accounts. It is
supposed that the heavy tide took them out
to sea.

Editor Gazette: Last Thursday after
a tremendously heavy rain lasting several
days the Mary's river overflowed its banks
and flooded, in some planes to a depth of
five and six feet, by far the greater part of
the valley along its entire iength. On Fri
day the water began to subside and the
Mary's river has now receeded to almost
its normal level. A young man living here
Seems to have really enjoyed it, having
swam mile and waded with his clothes
on merely out of sheer enjoyment. Several
others too proved themselves to be very
proficient in wading. Most of the bridges
near the Summit are wholly or partly
washed away. In fact the weather lately
has been too utterly delightful fbr Ore

Mr. Hercig who badly injured his knee

Work on tunnel No. i is progressing
satisfactorially. By latest accounts 150 feet
of tunnel is completed besides the cutting
leading up to the entrance. Twenty-eight
feet was finished last month. Mrs. Post is
boarding the white hands and gives gener
al satisfaction! Mr. McGiliiverary is now
foreman vice Wilson dismissed. Mr. Mc
Millan is superintendent of tunnels 1, 2 and
3 as heretofore.
We are anxious to know when the new
game laws come into effect as they are very
important to all who hunt;
There will be dances on Christmas day at
Mr. Baker's who lives near the Little Elk
postoffiee and at Mr. Py burn's on Mary's
river. At both of these houses good times
are expected.
During the latter half of November relig
ious services were held daily at the Summit

other crusade against the 'wicked.

Miss Glass' school in south district No.
41 closed last Saturday. After the closing
exercises of which Mr. J. J. Clark being
called upon to make some remarks, respond
ed as follows: After some preliminary -remarks
Mr. Clark said:
The perfect harmony which has existed
between teacher, pupils and patrons during
the term of this school is indeed very er
markable an d I will now say to you schol
ars that in your teacher you may recognize
a perfect picture of innocence, whose every
word denotes intelligence blendid with gen
tleness, kindness and affections, and it
matters not upon what remote inhabitable
portion of this earth your future lots may be
cast and although you may live until re
volving years have whitened your locks
like those of your humble servants you
will still retain vivid recollectionsof your
school days and fancy will oiten cluster
around your associations very dear to mera
ry you will Often review the bright and
joyotis faces of your school mates, nor will
you forget your teachers,- their name nor
the estimats set upon their merits, and I am
sure that when in her turns Miss Glass
may be presented to your . minds you will
pause long to reflect upon her gentle kind
ness her assidious effects to instruct in the
various branches of education according to
the age and capacity of her pupils, how she
indeavored to encourage you become intelli
gent, respectible and useful members of soci
ety. To be ladies and gentlemen in every
respects and on all occasions. Miss Glass
has now finished the work she came to pre
form, the manner in which she conducted
her school does credit to her self and is en
tirely' satisfactory to all who are concerned.
She came among us a stranger, but during
her brief sojourn she has succeeded in win
ning the highest esteem of all Who have had
thejpleasure of making her acquaintance.
She is now ready to return to her friends;
she is expecting her Pa to come and take
her home to repair the family circle of loved
ones there. The good name she brought
with her she takes back to her friends un
tarnished. She takes with her her well
earned wages a dollar of which I am sure ho
one begrudges her. And last of all- and
what may afford her an enduring pleasure
she takes with her the best wishes' of both
Pa trons and pupils.
