it out. Putting some powder in a shell
he inade the attempt, but instead of
the rod going the firing pin was blown
back, striking his cheek bone under
the right eye, and entering the head
about four inches. Dr. Warren, of
Newport was summoned and removed
the piece. The wound is probably not
dangerous.
JOTTINGS FROM CHITWOOD.
Chitwood, Oct. 12, '92.
Thinking
perbaps the Gazette
would like to hear from this part of
Western Benton county, I take the
liberty of sending you a few gleanings:
Mounting my faithful saddle horse I
turned my face seaward, after bidding
goodbye to my dear ones at our cosy
little home at Chitwood. I rode down
the Yaquinu river for seven miles to
the quiet little town of Elk City, where
I found several men catching some of
the finest salmon I have seen great,
large, red-meated fellows. They told
me they sold them fresh from the net
for two and one-half cents a pound.
There I met my old friend and school
mate, Doctor Carter, who is now em
ployed by the government as M. D. at
the Siletz reservation. He owns some
valuable land in this district. I then
turned my course up the Big Elk river,
the Doctor accompanying me about
two and one-half miles to show me his
beautiful farm and choose a location
for a large prune orchard. As my
business is decidedly horticultural, I
was asked many questions regarding
the culture of fruit and the destruc
tion of fruit pests, which, I cheerfully
answered. Leaving the Doctor at his
home I proceeded on up the river
with its narrow" but fertile valley. Pass
ing several beautiful little farms,
came to several new houses. Stopping
at each, I found them mostly to be ed
ucated, industrious people who had
come from the East to seek homes in
our healthful, fertile country, and had
brought their families with them.
mi i
iney nave iouna good government
land, and now they have-a new school
district and a site for a new school
house and the building is to be com
pleted forthwith. The new district
has seventeen scholars to begin with
They have also made necessary ar
rangements for a new postoffice. This
has all been accomplished within the
last tiiree montns, ana at this rate,
where four months ago was a howling
wilderness, it will be but a few months
until all the. available land is taken. I
am strongly reminded of the words of
an old poem .
fl hear the tread of pioneers,
Of nations, yet to be;
The first low wash of wave where soon
Shall roll a human sea."
One man has built a cozy log house
of alder timber. It is neatly hewn
and jointed close and pointed! ap with
lime and sand mortar. The floor is
composed - of alder logs, split, hewn
and dressed down with a plane. The
window and door casings have been
split out of fir and planed, and one
would have to look closely to tell that
it is not . lumber, sawed and planed.
One man has split out lumber and
built a house and barn; some of the
boards are eighteen feet long, twelve
inches wide and one and one-half
inches thick. These were the longest
I have eTer seen split out, even in the
California redwoods. They Lavo built
a very good wagon road for about thir
teen or fourteen miles from Elk City
One lady told mo that when she came
there, there was nothing but a deer
trail for several miles, and she had to
lash some of the children to the pack
mules tie them solid to keep them
from falling off, and thus got safely to
their new homes. - I am told that
there are some splendid places to be
taken as government land. The land
is of the best quality.
Mr. I. J. Pepin, of Chitwood and
Mr. Taylor, of Toledo, killed a huge
black bear last week and another the
first of this week. The last one
weighed over 300 pounds, and ' was
very fat.
Charles Wilson is back on his home
stead again after an absence of several
months at Ilwacco, catching silmon.
We are all glad to see him and his
family back again. -Kum-Tux.

Buckwheat Cakes.
The old way of setting to raise over night by he
Use of yeast, while the cakes were light yet there was always
a well founded suspicion that buckwheat cakes made in
that manner were indigestible and unwholesome, because
of the chemical action that takes place, so alters the flour
from its original character, that the souring or decomposing
process continues in the stomach, followed by dyspepsia,
and kindred troubles.
The new way does away with all fermentation, souring
eta, and places upon the table moking hot buckwheat cakes
in 13 minutes or less. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder
is the element that superseded the old methods. Buck
wheat and all griddle cakes made with Dr. Price's Powder
are not only exceedingly light and delicious, but can be
enjoyed by dyspeptics and invalids with impunity. Dr. Prices
Cream is the only baking powder containing the whites of
eggs. : "
