SAVED FROM DROWNING.
Some maintain that it was a direct act cf
Providence that caused tbe government
engineers to drop their rcow down the river
last FriJ.iy , afteruoou, and moor it to the
river bank just above the Oregon Pacific
incline. At any rate it was a fortunate cir
cumstance; aud, but for its ocenroncs, Max
Friendly would now be in another world
Sunday, Mr, Friendly went to the mill at
lower end of town, and arranged with two
boatmen to pull up the river to the iuc'ina.
Hera be wai to join thesii with the inten
tion of crossing the Willamette to a boom of
logs which he wished to examine. Mr.
Friendly oama diructly up to the place of
appointment, and had made his way down
tho c.teep, slippery steps of the incline in
safety to the float in the river. As the
boatmen failed . to appoar, Max became a
little anxious, aud leaned forward, in order
that a better view might be had of their
movements. In doing so he lost his if lance
and fell in. On striking tbe water, Max
yelled lustily for help. His cries were
heard by the engineers, three of whom
immediately sprang into a boat and reached
the scene in tims to save the victim from a
watery grave. Ou being taken ' from the
water he lost consciousness, but soon after
the arrival of Dr. Farra, he was revived suf
ficiently to be taken home. Aside from a
severe shock, from which ho still suffers, the
accidunt caused no serious results. Tuesday
Mr. Friendly left for Portland, where he
will remain several days on business con
nected with his saw mill at this place.
NSW CLAIMANT TO TJXJ$ HAM AN
IEWIS SSTATB.
There is a rumor afloat in this community
to the effect that H. U. Lewis, deceased, one
of the old pioneers of the county, has a
daughter' by a former marriage, who bas
recently put in an appearance in this atate,
as one of the heirs of the j deceased. The
whereabouts of this supposed heir we have
been unable to ascertain. It is claimed by
certain disgruntled heirs of the deceased
that there is a daughter by a former mar
riage somewhere iu existence. If such be
the case, she would be entitled to an undi
vided one-sixth interest ia the estate; she
not having been mentionod in his wilL It
seetns that, when quite young, Mr, Lewis
was married, but shortly after the birth of a
girl baby, the wife died, and the child was
taken charge of by the mother's relatives.
About a year later, Lewis started west, and
until now nothing has been heard or kuown
of the child, Iwho would now be between 60
and 70 years of ago. Sol King uow owns the
property willed to Mark Lewis, and there is
100 acres at Mountain View formerly owned
by the Buffington heirs, which was recently
purchased by E. C. Stellmacker. Although
these . properties have passed out of the
possession of the original legatees, this new
claimant will still be entitled to her share
in them if she can furnish the necessary
proof. The matter is causing considerable
uneasiness among owners of the property,
and fears of expensive-litigation are enter
tained. A "Tip" to the Ladles.
Holiday presents for men is the subject of
an interesting article in the Christmas num
ber of Harpei's Bazar; and the Bazar is
authority on fashions. In this article it is
suggested to the ladies that "a min's ca
pacity for gloves is unlimited and for even
ing wear a silk muffler is a necessity and
even a duplicate for day time would add to
his comfort." Other appropriate articles to
be given gentlemen are umbrellas, sleeve -buttous,
scarf pins, handkerchiefs, ties, and
many other things such as may tmly be
found in the best selected stocks of gents'
furnishings, as for example, Rogers, Peet &
Co., of New York, or Nolan's, in Corvallis.
Nolan has a large variety and sells cheap
as dirt. Remember old ladies, young la
dies, maids and matrons all, that you can
find the most appropriate Xtnas presents for
husband, brother, friend or lover, only at
one place Nolan's.

THE EIYEIl IMPROVEMENTS.
Major Post says Work on Ex
tension of old Revetment
." Will Begin Soon.
As many persons were under the im
preeeian that the $8,000 secured by Con
gressman Hermann for improvement of 'the
Willamette at this point, was being ex
hausted in making the survey from Eugene
to Portland, the Gazette took the pains to
write to Mr. Hermann conoetning the mat
ter. From bis reply, which is given be
low, there appears to be no cause for slarin;
the entire amount is to be expended exactly
as was intended. The letter is as follows:
"You request information as to the ap
propriation for the improvement of the
Willamette river, and yen mention that
many persona maintain that the 8,000
which I secured in the house committee
for Corvallis, is to be diverted and nsed
for the survey of the river. I have heard
this statement before.. It is wholly a
mistake. You may rost assured that we
should not yield up one dollar of tbe sura
secursd, and which is so much needed at
Corvallis. The entire $8,000 will "be ex
pended precisely as was intended. The
law reads now just' as I prepared
the clause, and is as follows: 'Improv
ing Willamette above Portland, Oregon;
continuing improvement, twenty-three
thousand dollars; of which eight thousand
duliarg or so much thereof as" may be nec
essary, shall be used at Corvallis.'
"The authority for the survey of the
Willamette river, with a view to a new pro-
joct for improvement of the entire river on
a large magnitude and in such snbstantiul
and permanent cbaraoter, jiot possible un
der the present restricted project, is pro
vided for in a different section, which is in
thrfis words; 'That the secretary of war
is hereby directed, at bis discretion, to
cause unrveys to be made and the cost of
improvement to ba ostimated at the follow
ing localities, to-wit: Oregon, Wil
lamette river, ' from Portland to Eugene;
Alsea river
"As to the expense of ri:ch survey, it is
further providadjin still, another suction of
the law as J follows: 'For preliminary ex
amination, surveys contingencies, ex
penses connected with inspection of bridges,
the examination of bridge sites aud
reports thereon, and for incidental repair?,
for which there is no spxcial appropriation
for rivers and, r.harbors, one hundrod aud
twenty-five thousand dollars. '
"Major PoBt, U. S. engineer officer, and
now stationed at Portland, has' charge of
this work at Corvallis, and can make any
further explanation as to when he hus de
termined to commence operations niider the
law." ' .
Upon receipt of the foregoing communi
cation, a request for further information on
the subject was addressed to Major Post, at
Portbind, who replied as follows:
"Your letter of the 8th inet. iti regard to
the law appropriating funds for surveying
tho Willamette River, and also in reg.ird
to the appropriation of $S,C0O for the Wil
lamette river at Corvallis, has been re
ceived. "The snrvoy has already been made from
Eugene to Corvallis, and will be continued
as long as tbe stage of water will permit.
As to the improvement at Corvallis, this
work will be begun at an early date. It is
proposed to extend tho present revetment."
.engineer J. xl, Uunninguam wno was
detailed to make tbe Willamette survey
from Eugene to Portland, arrived here Sat
urday, having completed the work this far,
a distance ot o miles. xne party lett
Eugene Oat. Cth, and as the weather has
been pleasant until recently, the work pro
gressed rapidly. During the past two
weeks, however, a quantity of rain fell,
which not only interfered with tho prog
ress of tbe work, but also raised the river
to such sn extent that it became impossi
bio to maintain that degree of accuracy with
regard to topography, so essential in such
an important survey, and on Monday last
the party returned to Portland. This ac
tion was thought advisable, s only a lim
ited appropriation is at hand for the com
pletion ot tbe survey and the work under
present unfavorable conditions is very ex
pensive. In the spring, the witter will be
at a much lower stage, besides the weather
will be pleasant aud tho work can then be
pushed with greater speed 'and with far
less expense than now.
At present it looks very much as though
tho improvements ' to the river at this
point would co over until next year. Mr,
Cunuingham had instructions to thoroughly
investigate the old revetment, as well as
the proposed cut of land and report on each,
tie his looked over the former and as far
as he is able to learn, it bas been of no ben
efit whatever. Owing to the stages of tbe
water, it will be impossible to give a full
detailed report on tbe other plan. On .this
account it is possible that 'work will not
begin on the Corvallis improvements before
next summer. Mr. Cimuingham seems of
the opinion tnat the proposed cut-off plan is
tne only one that will aUord permanent re
lief, but to carry it out (successfully a far
greater sum than $8,000 will ba necessary,
it is reany unfortunate tnat this survey
was so long delayed. The improvements
under contemplation ought to have been
completed ' ere this. Winter is now upon
ns and with it comes apprehensions for
further destruction of property and danger
to navigation. Every high water increases
the danger anil also increases the work
necessary to be done to change the channel.
It does seem strange that so important
matter as this has not been flushed with all
possible dispatch. Present indications are
that work will not be resumed for sever
months and further agitation of the subject
will not hastea the needsd improvements iu

TOO DRUNK TO WAIK.
Peoria has a blaeksmith. His name is
Ed Dunn, but ha differs materially from the
artisan whose grand charaoter ia so well
described by Goldsmith in his "Village
Blacksmith.", Dunn married tbe widow of
a man named Finnigan. - Finnigan died
from tbe effects of dissipation and the seo
ond husband seems in a fair way to attain
the same result. He cam to' Corvallis
Wednesday " withTiis step-son, a lad of,
perhaps, 15 years, and' immediately pro
ceeded to git ' "jagged," and by three
o'clock in the afternoon had succeeded
most admirably. - Suoh a "load" as Duan
was attempting to carry is seldom .seen.
The attention of Officer MoLagan was
culled to bis maudlin couditiou, who loaded
hiin into his buggy and started him home,
the boy doing the driving. Dunn, how
ever, waa unable to retain his equilibrium
and soon fell out of the vehicle into the
mud. Fearing that he might fall out again
and injure himself, tha officer concluded to
send tha boy home with the team, and
lock Dunn up for the night. He refused
to walk, but with the help of several stal
wart asHi'stants, the drnnkea man was fin
ally gotten to the oity hostile. He had
fallen into the mud several times, from the
effects of which he presented the appear
ance of a hog rather than a man. How a
man can get into suoh a disgracefully be
sotted condition Is unexplainable. Fines or
imprisonment seem to have no beneficial
effect iu this case, for Daun, who makes s
practice of getting drunk every tima he
oouies- to town, has frequently been found
guilty an a charge of drunk and disorderly
conduct iu thn Corvallis police court.

THIS, THAT ASD THE OTHER
A Few Simple Things You
Mayn't Have Been Told.
An incipient Chinese riot last Saturday
brought a few dollars into the pockets of
offioara. . Aocording to one side, it was the
result of quarrel between highbinders and
independents. A highbinder was sentenced
iu the justice court, aud an independent at
the police station. In the juelioejcourt, the
defendant, when asked if ha wanted a law
yer, replied: "Me o wast lawyer; me no
want judge; mo bo want trial; me no busi
ness here." The proseouting witness testi
fied that the defendant hit him with a chair.
When asked if he st.uck back, he replied:
"He hit me fuel I had malice ho no had
malioo." Perhaps he meant excuse. A
Chinese witness called for' the atate testified
that he was present, but saw nothing, knew
nothing, could swear to nothing, which led
Proseouting Attorney Yates to propound
this conumdrum: "Do yon know the dif
ference between yourself and a lawyer?"
The witness gave it up, and Mr. Yates said,
"a lawyer lies for money, and you lie for
nothing." The defendant explained in his
behalf, that during a game, he held up a
chair to protect himself, and the prosecu
ting witness ran against it. The justice
thought this a very reasonable view, and
litiod the prisoner only $6.00.
I am informed that there are lots of
"society," and entertaining affairs going on
iu town, if one knew where to find them.
This week there have been, or will be, the
college program, Thursday night; four or

Tha Times reporter had another dream
ooncerning the Straga murder, the other
day. This time there is a mysterious hint
regarding a woman. Tha reporter has beon
reading tha Deadwood Dick series, or Old
Sleuth, the Detective. He touchingly
depicts the weird. Hark to this ! "If, on
some dark, wild night, when the rains are
falling in torrents, and the howling winds
are bearing along the tortured screams of
the damned, then she the mysterious wo
man should meet face to face with the
ghost of the mnrdared man, she would scream
aloud aud fall senseless to the ground."
What woman wouldn't ?
A lusson taught by the hard times is,
"stay out of debt." It is the men who are
in debt that do the most growling. The
men who have nothing, gat along about as
well as ever tbey did; and in : corporation
government as well as commercial, we ob
serve muoh the same conditions. Albany,
during the boom, eclipsed Corvallis. Im
provement was the eternal cry, and she
could hardly buy and sell fast enough. Now,
Albany has an expensive if complete electric
light plant that she cannot afford to main
tain; and many other "improvements are
languishing for want ot cash. She has a
debt of about $200,000; taxes are high and
hard to collect; business is stagnant. The
finances of our city government are in good
shape; our streets are lighted as well as
a town of this sue can well afford; business
is fairly good, notwithstanding some tremen
dious bad luck, and our oity indebtedness is
less than 320,000. Keep out of debt.
