Tie popular postmaster of Dayton, Wm.
Katsger, died at Los Aageles, April 15tb,
while on his way home from the Ka-ii. His
remains are being brought to Dayton for
interme it. Mr. Metzjjer was born iu Prus
sia, August 11, 1S19. Hi emigrated to
America in 1839, to Oregon ia 1844, to
Walla Walla in 1863 and to Dayton iu 1871.
He was a tirst-class practical miller and
a clear headed, conservative business man.
In connection with S. M. Wait he built the
first flouring mill in Dayton and carried on
a mercantile establishment there. For
many years he baj occur, ied the position of
postmaster at Dayton, giving general satis
faction to the public and the department.
Last November he left for the Eastern
States to see to the disposal of the patent
right and the manufacture of the Gavitt
backle, in which he held a large interest.
It was Mr. Matzger's intention, as be told
the Writer before starting East, to visit his
native land before returning to Dayton, but
we understand that failing health caused
him to relinquish the plan sad start for
borne. A cood man. a first rate citizen, a
model office-holder, his circle of acquriu.
tances was large and varied, aud his death
will be generally lamented, particularly by
the community which knew him best.
The above sketch taken from the Walla
Walla Union gives the final of one known
to many Benton county people. It will be
remembered that Metzger in a very early
day built the grist mill on Mary's river
about a mile and a half west of Philomath
He owned and run the mill for nanny years
afterwards. He finally sold it to Thos.
Beader then a miller of Monroe and moved
to W. T.

A Supposed Dragon which Inhabits the Up
per Lake in Surprise Valley.
A correspondent in the Lake City, Ore
gon, Examiner, under date of April 9th,
writes: For the prat two months there
has been a. very mysterious) disappearance
of loose stook from points of the valley be
tween "Port Crook hill" and the lower end
of Upper lake opposite Lake City, and
among stock men there baa been much spec
ulation as to tbe cause thereof. Last fall,
in the month of October, three hunters from
L:,ke Ciy made a pilgrimage to Cook's
lake, northeast of this place, in quest of
deer. They succeeded in capturing four
fine ones, and one of the party succeeded
in wouncunT. a Crth, whicn made lor the
lake, swimming boldly out on the water.
When the pursuing hunter arrived at the
shore the wounded deer was about fifty
yards from the brink, and while .Vim rod
wm ia ths set of aiming at the Aeeiag buck,
he was suddenly seised from below by a
bo.( monster.
This incident occurred in the twinkling
of an eye, and the glimpse of this aaaason
epicure was hut momentary, and the whole
matter so surprised snd astonished the
baffled hunter that the description given by
him to his two companions was necessarily
cenfased, and it wai mutually agreed that
nothing should be said about the occurrence
on their return to Lake City. The incident
referred to had nearly passed from the
minds af the three hunters until one of the
three was returning from Camp Bidwell
on Tuesday last, arriving at Goose creek
his attention was called to the lake by a
fearful roaring, hissing noise. Looking
across in the direction of Ccok'a lake he
saw a fca:ful monster cutting the placid
besom of Upper lake, and wending its way
like an arrow- towards the west shore, its
dragon-shaped front ten or twelve feet out
of water, dragging its ponderous body at a
fearful rate. When within about one hun
dred yards ci land this strange monster
turned eadd-cly and rwara rapidly down
thel'keforr. quarter of a nil? and sud
denly sank from view.
'Cbo narrator sayo that when the inciter
tr rued he had fair i lew of it, aud pronounces
is tc be at least fifty feet in length the en
tire body, which Boomed to be covered with
large glistening scales, each particular o::c
of which v.?.s as large as the "dollar of our
dadv' He thinks that from the front
twenty feet back would average six feet in
diameter; about six feet from its horse
chaped head, it was armed with two legs
about eight feet ia length. Altogether it
looked like a monster capablo of great de
struction to man sou beast. It is now gen
erally believed here that this fearful mon
ster l:as been making frequent nocturnal
visits to this valley in pursuit of lira stock,
ana is proving mora deotrucuvr to yjunr
cattle than the d.-.idad "black foot" cr.ttle
distemper.
In addition to the great loss of iiomrd
tstcck there ha .'e been gref.t losses of sheep
and goats in the "Ark&sss&w" settlement
above Lake City. A few cigb'a since Mr.
Spike, whis has a hne herd of Angora voata
at the .out of the lake, was aroused about
midnight by tbe incessant bleating e bis
herd, wherecpoa uosa immediately
