The mail carrier between Wald-

cident on Tuesday, which came near
costing him his life. While cross

after a desperate struggle he got
ashore, losing them ail sack.

met with a serious accident last
Saturday which came near costing
him his life. He in company with
Chas. Wooding and W. A. Gentry,
were engaged in cutting dead timb
er, when one of the trees came roll
ing down hill breaking in three
pieces, one of which struck Smith
on the head causing concussion of
the brain. Dr. Carter of Elk City,
was called and attended the wound
ed man. At last accounts he was
doing as well as could be expected.
That was on Tuesday and Wednes
day night, in the midst of the wild
est gales I ever saw. The stock to
the rudder gave way, and the ves
sel became practically helpless. I
have always regarded the figure of
speech of a rudderless ship at sea
as symbolic of distress, and now I
know its aptness. The big waves
rolled mountain high about us, the
rain fell in torrents and the wind
blow a hurricane. -This lasted un-
shore, we drifted all the way from
cape Blanco to a point off Yaquina
bay. Sunday the weather was
better and we tried to rig a judy
rudder. It failed to work, but we
got into pretty good shape on
Monday, and worked our way close
up to the entrance to Yaquina,
when in answer to our signals of
distress, the little harbor steamer
Volanta came out and towed us in,
We had plenty to eat all the time,
but we were all drenched to the

The Valante is owned by lhe
Western Transportation Company,
of which M. M. Davis, of this city,
is a member. She is only 78 feet
long and carries no license to cross
outside, but it was justified in do
ing so in answer to signals of dis
tress. She will get no salvage, but
will receive compensation for the
towage. The Bandorilla will have
to be beached before she can be re
paired. She was built ra the Ya
quina Bay several years ago and
was formerly the George H.
Chance.

received a letter from Mr. E. L.
Bonner, the successful bidder for
the 0. P. railroad. He announced
that he had expected to visit Eugene
and meet her business men if the
sale had been promptly confirmed
before this. Urgent business makes
it imperative that he should leave
Portland for the East tonight, but
his partner, Mr. Hammond, would
arrive in the state in a few days,
and if the sale should be confirmed
ou the 19th inst. he would visit
Eugene. The people of this sec
tion of the state are greatly in
favor of Judge Fullerton confirming
the long delayed sale of this prop
erty. Guard.
Senator Maxwell, state senator
for Tillamook, Columbia and Wash
ington ccunties, being interviewed
by an Oregonian reporter had the
following to say in regard to cream
eries: imamooK county is in a
prosperous condition, and the city
is growing. There is more building
in progress this winter than ever
before.1 Since the introductions o
creameries in the county its' dairy
interests have greatly increased in
value. We can-produce the very
best dairy products, and always
have a ready market for them, and
we do not fear competition."
We would here say that what is
good for Tillamook county must
surely be good for Lincoln county,
as we have as fine dairy resources
as any where on the coast.
One of the youngest looking men
in the County, to his age, is Capt
James Williams, who has lived on
the Ollalla three miles north of
Toledo, for the past twenty years
The Captain is as tall and straight
as most men at forty and has not a
grey hair in his head or beard, and
was thirty-five years old in 1855,
when as captain of his company he
was chasing Indians in Eastern
Oregon. In conversation with the
Captain the other day he said if the
government ever expected to help
the old Indiau war veterans in
Oregon they had better hurry the
pension bill through, as the boys
were not all as young as he and
Col. Kelsay. These old veterans
and pioneers are not beggars nor
tramps but are the very best people
in Oregon, the men who made it
possible foi civilization to spread
out all over our great state, and
now in their old age, forty years
after they have given their time
and property and braved the dangers
of the trackless west, it is a shame

The Corvallis Times says: Mon
day afternoon the steam schooner
Baudorille, Captain J, J. Wiuant,
master, was towed into the Ya
quina harbor, in a disabled condi?
tion. J. A. Rupert, of Bandon, a
passeuger on the vessel, arrived in
Corvallis yesterday, and he' tells this
story: "We sailed out of the
Coquille river, lumber laden, for
San Francisco, on New Year's day.

We had some pretty hard stormy
days the past week.
The body of Solomon Scott, an
old Indian, who has been missing
since the first, was found on the
Sth. The body was found near the
Alsea settlement, face turned down
ward, and his flour which he was
carying was destroyed by hogs.
He was returning from the Agency,
where he went to get bis issue.
The supposition is that he got tired
and fell down with his load on his
bead, or fainted. It stormed all
that night.
The Indjan court was in session
last Monday the 7 th inst. Among
many other cases that were tried
was that of a couple of boys, who
were sentenced to jail for over doing
their Happy New Year, and been
over to Toledo once too often during
the holidays, We hope the boys
will do better next New Year, if they
are lucky enough to see it.

expect the rest in on any mail.
We understand that as soon as our
allotment is approved we become
citizens. We wish the county
court would see into the matter.
If so why not give us our rights,
and appoint our justice of the peace
and constable in this precinct,
(which is not a precinct yet, but
we hope it to be,) for we don't like
to wait till next election, which is
a year and a half off.
