G Com 1 pany anniversary banquet was one of tha notable events or me year. xi aurac of the participants It eclipsed In en- thusiasm and fervor any luncuon 01 cue twelvemonth. This company was organised No- ' vember 15. 18S3, and made Its first ap- ; nearance on patriotic holidays, of 1884 " The charter membership Comprised 40 young men. ; Of these Major George T. , Willrtt.

By" that time the company un ; der the command, of Captain Liui C Farrar, who was its commanding of ficer continuously for 15 years, had be come a splendidly drilled corps, (jth6 pride of Ita members-antt the ctty of those: da-a. i.Compc tent men o J3L XJoms pany were selected as officers of new companies then forming, which cora- - posed the First Regiment of theOre goa National Guard. A. J. Coffee, E. M. Moore and Judge Gantenbein were thus transferred to other companies aa - officers, and several members , became r- regimental officers., .;'. : ' - Exacting- Drill ZSastsr. " " Captain Farrar was a most exacting drill master, yet his men ail loved him and were aa proud of their corps "' and their captain and as devoted to "' their duties as Captain -Farrar himself. , Competitive drills were- arranged be ' tween O company and other companies of the First, and similar contests also -. with the best companies of Seattle and 'Tacoma. and' in all these the boys of s "G" company were victors. It ' waa thought in those days -that ' Sergeant F. Russell could win a com- pany contest slnglehanded and alone. When the new Armory was built and the First regiment had Its neadquartera . there, athletics received a surprising; stimulus, and In the "athletic contests, regimental or inter-company.

' So the 0 members who assembled at the Hotel Portland Friday night for the commemoration of the twenty eighth anniversary of the7 organization ; ot U company (out of a total enroll inert of 132 men during the existence xif the company) had. a great fund of triumphal memories to recall In their reunion. - Unhappily Captain Farrar; . who has been present (coming . from -tacramento) at the previous reunions. and whose arrangements were made to be with his man on Friday night, was fU'Juenly ill. and telegraphed his re grets Friday morning. Captain Far lar s aDsence was not Known among . ; the men until they began to arrive at tna lobby of the Portland at 7 o'clock then "Where's Fan-art" was the quea. lion xrom each 'new arrival. i - A feast worthy of the occasion was rpreod in the rathskeller of the hotel, which was richly decorated with Amer. ican flags',' courteously loaned by Olds, YVoitman & King.

Seven Saved Owes Life to Thought of Wife and - Children; ,the Peavy-Hooks Weight Struggling Men. (Special In TO Joorul. Woodland Wash., Nov. 18..- With more than- 48 hours gone' since the drowning of the seven nu;n above Wood land by the capslslng of the boat in which they were crossing the r.orth fork of Lewis River, ana with the most strenuous work on the, part of the Searchers for the bodies In all the avail able boats and along the shore, -not a single body li&3 been recovered. The boat in whlclvthe men were at the time of the catastrophe was found lodged in a. log Jam . about a mile be low the place of, the accident and . the Sou-Wester of one .of the men who' es caped -was also ound in the. drift and that is all that has been discovered in connection with the terrible affair.. Carl Goerig and- Alf Andrews,' who went up Thursday night with a-boat, made the trip by driving all night and got thtre In time ' for the searchers to use the boat yesterday. They worked the river with grappling hooks as .far as what Is known as the Straight place which Is fpus miles - overland and about eight miles by the river, as' the river la very crooked In that vicinity, with only the above result They took the boats back up the river yesterday afternoon and will come ,down again Jpday Jutas the river is high "anil the current very strong all throughthe section of the river where the accident occurred, the work of dragging is very difficult it nas aeveiopea : since me accident that there were 14 men in the boat in stead of 13, as, at first reported, two of these being loggers who were on their way to Russell's logging camp on tha Clarke county side of the river, and who simply asked 'the rtvermen to. set them across . the river, aa hv rniMlnr at that 'point they could save consider able distance. Both were drowned. Thought of Bom Saves Hark. Gilbert Murk of Woodland, one of the men who could not swim, but was saved, went down three times. On going down the second time he says he felt as if he did not care whether he came ud again or not but on coming up the third time he happened to think of his wife and children at home, and commenced a determined effort to get out It hap pened that another man had appeared on the bank of the river who was -tod late to catch: the illfated boat, and he saved Mr. Murk, besides two others of the party, one of whom drifted on a gravel , bar several hundred feet below the place where the accident occurred, and was so badly chilled and cramped he had to be carried bodily from the water. - AH the men In the party were heavily dressed, a good many with two suits of underwear, heavy woolen shirt and heavy calked loaa-ers' shoes. badly handicapped in their efforts at swimming ashore . In tha ' turbulent waters.".. ,. V-,..:. : '; ,j Tha accident was caused when the boat struck the swtft water lust off the . shore, the boat being , so heavily isaen na tne. current caught the- bot torn or the boat and carried it down quickly, allowing the upper side of the boat to take water, the swlrt current at once turning tne boat turtle. It is al most a miracle that any of "the party escaped. In addition to the 14 men there were probably a dosen or more peavies, and is may ba that some of the men were caoght and held down by . Corrected list of Drowned. The following Is a corrected list of those drowned and saved: Drowned Joe Carter, Albert Gallo way, Tacolt. Wash.; Smith, un Known; Ell Burton. Arnold Murk, Wood iana, ana Tom OConnor, Rldgcfield. saved Jack Kenny. S. J. Harris, ueorge Morgan, homes unknown; Gil Dert Murk. Frank Reld, Woodland: Mr, uioerson and his son of Kalama. Wash The bodies of drowned men are sup posed to rise in nine days, but as the waters or me lewis river are very cold and some of the men may be held down by the peavy hooks or caught on snags or swept into some of the log Jams or drifts, it It highly Improbable that all the bodies may be recovered at an early date: some, perhaps, may never be iouna. Mess emitn and MeCov of Van couver, members of the Lewis River f cumpany, oy wnom the men were empioyea, are at the scene and are do ing all that is possible in conjunction wiiii-me men saved -and other volun teers to locate the missing men.

Imagine 50,000 miniature bonfires glimmering through orchard drees that dot a beautiful valley and viewed from a high hill at the dead of night. That is the magnificent spectacle that may be seen occasionally on 'a frosty night In springtime In the Rogue river coun try. The sight takes on added interest when it is made known that these my rlad, blazes save to the state of Oregon hundreds ot thousands of dollars an nually. '. But It Is only on those rare occasions when the frost king visits the orchards while the fruit trees are budding or. In blossom , that the spectacle described can be viewed.. - .' The fruit growers of the great Rogue River valley use the fires, to heat their orchards and save the trees from the frost blight. ..Orchard heating for frost protection '; is . a comparatively new science in Oregon, but 1t has been used with, t remarkably gratifying results around Medford on the Rogue for the past four years and the methods of heating have perhaps reached, their highest -modern development in ... that section. Fruit growers -ln..al I the well known fruit belts of the northwest are profiting by the experience of the Rogue river orchardlsts. . , P. J.

An effort was made yesterday before the county commissioners to bring about a compromise in the tax case ptarted by the county against the Marshall-Wells - company. The company made this , move, but the commission ers gave no indication that the coun ty would recede in its posllton. The case Involves taxes for five years ana aggregates $33,184, which the coun ty claims is now due from the com pany. The matter has been carried to the supreme court of the state, and a decision rendered i in favor of the oounty. The suit was, started to col lect taxes from the Marshall-Wells company on vmoney, notes and accounts neia by, the local branch of the con cern. ?: Attorney S. B. Huston handled the suit for the county. The state su preme court held' that 'a nonresident corporation, with a branch house in Multnomah county, must pay on all Its accounts which are carried on the books In this county." The icompany Is- represented bv the law firm of Emmom & Webster, and contends, that all money, notes and ac counts are-forwarded to the. main of fice, which is outside the state. It is contended that the main office Days taxes on all Its accounts, and that taxes on these Items should not be paid by the branch offices. The suit was started more than two years ago, ; and the supreme court - of the state passed upon it last August The action was brought for the year 1806, but it was stipulated that ell taxes for tha other years should be governed by the suit.
